SUSTAINS BACK INJURY IN FALL FROM SCAFFOLD William Hiller of Johnsburg, a carpenter, is in a cast at the Woodstock hospital and is suffering severe pain due to a fall sustained last T^itrrsday noon when the nails, which were holding the scaffold, loosened and the piank gave way. Hiller and two other carpenters, Harvey Brown and Bernard Hiller, also of Johnsburg, dropped eleven feet to the ground. They were working on a farm a few miles west of McHenry. The three men were taken to the Woodstock hospital for treatment. Both Freund and Bernard Hiller were badly shaken up and bruised and the former received a strained shoulder. They were released a day or so after the accident. William Hiller, however, sustained a back injury and will be confined for an indefinite stay. LOOKIHO rOKWA&D ^ (by Franklyn Waltman) Shocked though we have been by the tragic events which have swept over Europe this spring, many of us still refuse to admit the annihilation of liberty-loving nations of free men over the seas possesses any real meaning for us. We are inclined to regard it all as a nightmare. We insist that it cannot happen here. But it can happen here. Representative republican government is confronted with as great a challenge in this country as it has been in Europe. Even though we are in no immediate danger from a totalitarian blitzkrieg from abroad, our form of government and our way of life is now fighting for survival. This is £he meaning of the Roosevelt third term ambitions. It can have no other meaning. If Mr. Roosevelt accepts the nomination for a third term and is re-elected, then the first step will have been taken toward the Tonsillectomy fx > Is Matter for Careful Study $ Lancaster, Fa,, police were pooled by the disappearance of ignition keys ^ ^ from parked cars until a man walked. en<f 0f 0Ur system*of VoW^ment'ss into headquarters and handed^ over ^ we have known it now for more •'ri . , , ' J 150 yeans.

Once before such warnings were also as justified. That was three yean ago when Mr. Roosevelt proposed his Supreme Court packing bill. If that measure had been enacted by Congress, the nose of the camel of totalitarian dictatorship would have been under this country's tent.- Had that movement succeeded the underlying theory of American government -- the separation of the judicial from I the executive and legislative powers, -- would have become a myth and legend. So revolting was the Supreme Court packing bill that the American people in all sections vigorously displayed their opposition. Many Democrats in House and Senate refused to permit partisan ties to hold their suport for such a proposal. It was defeated ignominiouslv, as it deserved to be. But the Roosevelt third term aspirations constitute a far more revolting and dangerous departure from Americanism than did the Supreme Court packing measure. Here we have the very essence--not subtle, not direct-- but positive and direct of one-man government, of an intrenched dictatorship. White House Power Demonstrated Everyone has seen in the last two months how the power of the White House through patronage and the rein-check over the expenditure of billions of dollars can be used to whip dissenting groups of the Democratic Party into line. The Democratic Party today has surrendered all independence of thought and action. It is undeT the heel and spur of the White House in exactly the same way that a Hitler and a Mussolini perform in Europe. Th^re are admirers of Mr. Rooae velt in this country who still insist that he will not accept a third term. They cannot believe that their hero would be a party to so bold a perversion of Americanism. Such a one was, surprisingly enough, Rexford G. Tugwell, in the last several weeks. Still other Democrats are sickened by the thought that Mr. Roosevelt will accept the nomination. They do not thing he should. They want to believe that he will not. But they cannot disabuse their minds of the evidence brought to them by their eyes and ears. These have given up the fight within the party, believing it hopeless and futile. F.D. R. Acts Like Candidate We do not know whether Mr. Roosevelt will accept a third term nomination. We believe, however, he will. For several years he has acted day in and day out exactly as a candidate acts. We believe he has used the European crisis to further his plans and ambitions. We believe he wants to break the one unbreakable American precedent -- the tradition that no man shall serve more than two terms in the White House. But we are confident that if Mr. Roosevelt accepts the nomination which now is his for the taking, this country will face a crisis as great as that which has confronted the French and the British. Likewise we are confident that the ballot which Americans cast in November, will be, by far, the most important ever cast in this country, for on the outcome of that election may hang the future course of this land for another hundred years. This, now that we have entered the season^of aggressive political campaigning, is a cold sobering thought which well may be pondered.

BARTON I HAVE spoken before of living near a clinic where every Saturday morning a number of youngsters would have their tonsils removed, apparently just as a safeguard against developing rheumatism and heartdisease. In some cases there was a history of sore throat from time to time and also frequent colds. Later it was found that the tonsils have some power to resist the diseases of childhood and that they should not be removed until after the age of 15. Today the removal or nonremoval of the tonsils is a question that confronts the child, his parents, and the family physician. If the tonsils have the filtering ability that they are known to have it would appear to be unwise to disturb them unless special circumstances demand it Dr. George B. Wood, Philadelphia. in Medical Clinics of North America, says: "I am strongly of the opinion that operating on normal tonsils just to prevent an attack of some ailment (tonsilitis, rheumatism, heart disease) should be condemned. The surgical risk of removing the tonsils, while not sufficient to prevent their removal when operation is really needed, should be considered." Not Cause of Colds. It was formerly believed that the removal of the tonsils would prevent colds, bronchitis and pneumonia, but "recent statistics show that, following a lapse of years, acute colds, sore throats and bronchitis are more frequent in individuals who have had their tonsils removed than in those who have not." Under what circumstances should the tonsils be removed? When there are frequent attack* of sore throat and particularly in those cases where the little glands in the neck swell and remain swollen, the tonsils should be removed. Dr. Wood states that tonsils should not be removed because of the white, pea-sise plugs seen in the throat, but when there is pus in these openings they should be removed. Today the family physician is better sble to give aa opinion on whether or not tonsils should be removed than he was a few years ago. He is in a position to decide also as to the best condition of the patient and the best time tor operation should operation be necessary. • * • Barium Sulphate Cleans Out Stomach A Dr. Bartea DI1 WHILE VISITING DAUGHTER AT YOLO %'X" ( ) GREAT LAKES CRUISHS, June, July and August, many sailings, rates lower than ever, a short four to seven day cruise --- see Mackinac, Georgian Bay, Detroit, Cleveland; Buffalo, and Niagara Falls.

Mrs. Van Arsdale had come to Volo recently for a visit with her daughter and suffered a heart attack there about a week previous to her death. She was seventy-three years old. Born at Kenosha, Wis., on Jufte 30, 1866, she had lived at DesPlaines for the past several years and made frequent visits to her daughter's home in Volo. The deceased is also survived by another daughter, Mrs. May Pratt, and a son, Lee. burial was in Milwaukee, Wis- i_.wir TO THE PEOPLE OF ULYMOOR, LILY LAKE On Sunday, June 30, at 3 p.m., a church service will be held at the home of Rev. and Mrs. W.

Read the Wlant Ads PATIENT consults his physician complaining of indigestion pain immediately after eating, and sometimes, three hours after eating. Baking soda and other .eikalis do not relieve the pain, sonietlmes the stomach bloats and sometimes the abdomen. In order to help find the cause of the trouble the physician has him undergo an X-ray examination after taking some barium sulphate. The X-ray specialist sends a report in about a week's time stating that the stomach and intestines are normal--no disease present, no delay in the passing of the barium sulphate through stomach and intestines. What has happened? The barium sulphate--a clay-like substance--in passing through stomach and intestines has swept their lining clear of any irritating or obstructive material and thus relieved the patient of his symptoms. Hew It Works. Some idea of how barium sulphate can sweep out the stomach and bowel can be gathered from an incident reported by Dr. Henry G. Hadley, Washington, D. C., in Medical World. "Charles B., aged three, was first seen on September 3, 1887, after having swallowed his mother's wrist watch. Fluoroscopic (X-ray) examination showed the watch in the stomach. He returned September 7 (four days later) with the position of the watch remaining the same. To locate the position more exactly, a heavy suspension of barium sulphate was given in buttermilk. The watch was noted to be in the lowest part of the stomach. After the watch was surrounded entirely by the mass of bariurii it apparently passed through the opening of the stomach to the small intestine more easily, and the watch was passed out of the body in 18 hours after the barium was given." The point is that an object which will not pass out of the stomach readily may be "picked up" by this heavy clay and readily moved downward and out of the body. iWtjlSiiMri by WMton N«wsm«k Pnlaa.j CbriAjlt CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed Cabinet Changes The recent resignation of Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring and the subsequent appointment of the interventionist Hanry L. Stimson to this very important post in the President's Cabinet has created a furor in the nation's Capital. Both Republican and Democrats look upon the change with fear. Well informed Capital forces say that Secretary of War Woodring was forced to resign because he was in agreement with the majority of the general staff of our army that America should not strip itself of its vital military equipment by selling it to foreign powers at a time when our own national safety should be the paramount interest of those who . control the destinies of our nation. Frankly I, myself, would like to know the full contents of the Woodring let-' ter which White House secretary, Stephen Early, said contained a "personal message" which could not be released. It is my expectation that this has also created a deep question in the minds of both Republican and Democratic senators who will be called upon to confirm the appointiggj}t& ,of Messrs. Stimson and Knox. Hie New Freedom The President's r««ent disclosure that he is formulating plans for a system of universal compulsory national training for American boys and girls has started a turmoil in both the House and Senate. Congressmen and Senators are asking each other the question, "Just what is going on here?" According to announcements the President's plan will provide that the training be divided into four divisions (1) uniform combat service (2) behind the lines supply work (behind what lines?) It sounds ominous. (3) non-uniform industrial production (4) civilan maintenance of conservation. While details apparently have not been completed at the White House it is rumored that the plan will ask that every American boy and girl be regimented and required to put in a year or more of service. To date his proposal is hazy and vague. Are our youngsters about to be drafted into a system of compulsory labor apparently patterned after the Nazi set-up of Germany or the Communistic collective system of Russia? Will it seek to impose a system of nationally governed discipline on American boys and girls? Latest reports appear to indicate that this so-called "training of our youth" will be under the personal supervision of Sidney Hillman, well known CIO labor leader. I don't believe that American mothers and fathers want their sons and daughters to be Hillman-controlled vassals of the state. The Nasi system in Germany and the Communistic system in Russia were based on regimentation and state control over the lives and liberties of the people ef the nation. I hope that those who say, "It can't happen here" are correct. Quiet -- Tell No Om! Both Democratic and Republican members of the House and Senate Committees on Naval Affairs are reported as being furious over recent disclosures that twenty high speed motor torpedo boats now being1 constructed for the United States fleet for our own national protection had secretly been sold, with Presidential approval, to a foreign nation. Senator Walsh, Democrat of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee is said to have re- FageThm | ^ marked that the release of these boats was a grievous wrong to our own national defense and that the deal was made "surreptitiously." Webster defines this word as follows: "Accomplished by secret or improper means; clandestine." Congressman Visnon, Democrat of Georgia, Chairman of the House Naval Affairs Committee is expected to demand that there be a provision in all future Naval appropriation bills "that no vessel in the United States Navy or being built therefor shall be disposed of by sale, charter or otherwise without the consent ef the Congress."
