HAVE spoken before of the number of recruits who were rejected for war service because the chest was too small. Practically every one of these young fellows, on questioning, stated thai they had never played games because their parents were afraid they would get hurt. When parents see that their children are not as others, underweight, tall for their age, round or drooping shoulders, it is only n a t u r a l that they afe somewhat alarmed at the thought of games or vigorous exercise. The result is that these youngsters do not get any exercise and properly directed exercise fet this "growing" age is exactly what the body, including heart and lungs, greatly needs. "There are children who show pallor, excessive growth, muscular weakness, bad posture--sitting and standing. There are rapid fatigue, palpitation of the heart, stitches in the side, stomach aohe, headache, dizziness and fainting spells." Dr. L. F. Meyer, in Oriental Journal of Internal Medicine, reports that the general test of circulation by exercise (10 deep bends of the knees) shows that this group reacts otherwise than completely healthy children. The pulse remains fast in one-third of the children for longer than five minutes after exercise. The blood pressure differs from normal for it also remains high for more than five minutes. These two tests--heart beat and blood pressure-- increased for longer than five minutes show insufficiency of circulation and inability to react properly from exercise. Group Games Improve Circulation. Dr. Meyer suggests that as these children are nearing puberty, the circulation may improve and be equal to the demands made upon it. However,, the treatment recommended is: "Invigoration of the body by gymnastics and sport, especially by breathing exercises." The point then for parents is to have these slender, gangling, pale, overgrown children attend a gymnasium where exercise and group games are supervised. All group games not only strengthen the cir- •culation by calling on the heart and lungs for more blood, but develop self-reliance' in :th«se delicate children. * • * Liver Extract Is Good for Pimples MAYOR PETERSON OP CRYSTAL LAKE DROPS DEAD MONDAY NIGHT Crystal Lake was shocked Monday night to learn of the sudden death of it« mayor, John August Peterson, 68 years old. who dropped dead at 10:10 p. m.. on November 4 while talking tq a Crystal Lake police officer, George Ehlert, after the former had taken part in a Republican torch-light parade. The mayor of Crystal Lake for the past ten years had joined the parade, which had been staged by a group of Marengo Republicans, and had marched several blocks carrying a poster boosting C. Wayland Brooks for United States senator. After the parade, he stood talking to Officer Ehlert for a few minutes and the n suddenly plunged forward. A physician was summoned, but Mayor Peterson had died almost instantly. Death wa's attributed to a heart attack. Mr. Peterson was bom in Chicago and at the age of eight months moved to Crystal Lake with his family, where he had lesided since. As mayor he had ^the respect and support of the entire Crystal Lake community. He was a good mayor and it is said the job was his as long as he desired to keep it. " ^ Hi* sudden passing came as a terrible shock to the Crystal Lake community and to McHenry county in general where the deceased was well known. , Funeral services were held this Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the Peterson h6me. He is survived by his wife, one son and two daughters. FOR TRAVEL CITY BACKS PROJECT TO WIDEN RIVERSIDE DRIVE WORK BEGINS A worthwhile and necessary project was started this week when the city undertook to widen Riverside Drive between Pearl and Elm streets." The block. has always been hazardous to motorists, as two cars were barely ablejto pass when parked autos were lined on either side of the street. Now the street will be extended on either side and Will give the motorist twenty-two feet more clearance. ( The Tonyan Construction company, a local firm, was given the job of handling this project, while the contract for the installation of new street lights on this block was awarded to Leo Heimer and James Doherty. The Western United Gas and Electric company also decided that this was an opportune time to replace the old gas pipeline under this street. They 'started their work yesterday morning and expect to be finished by the end of this week. The first cement on the paving project was poured this morning. This fir st pouring was to make the step up the sidewalk on the west side of the street. If the weather permits, the workmen hope to have the work csajl pleted in two or three weeks.

IT WOULD now appear that an- 1 other use for liver extract has been discovered which may mean much to the appearance and thus the happiness of many girls and boys and young ihfen and women. Until recently, acne--pimples-- was considered a distressing ailment which often came with puberty and had to be endured for 10 or 15 years-^the most important years in life from the appearance, standpoint. Some skfri specialists were able to help many patients by prescribing a diet. Then XAray treatment was found effective. Recently, the injection of pituitary extract has given splendid results^ as has also the use of vioslerol "By mouth. Now comes livei extract. Boiling fiiiy Ajjii Kftcieney. Dr. W. MBrAsfl/Appieton, Wis., in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (skin diseases), reports his use of boiled liver extract in the treatment pf l4 cases of acne in which he obtained satisfactory results. The injection of liver extract --six drops--is given so that a sufficient amount of the specific (or needed) vitamin may be had. ^ihen injectable liver extract is boiled for 30 minutes, its acne-improving factor seems to increase. "When this boiled extract is given to patients already takipg lijter extract regularly, their improvement appears more rapid." This means then that to our present knowledge of the beneficial effects of X-rfcjte; injection of pituitary extract and taking viosterol by mouth, is added the further knowledge that the use of liver extract boiled for 30 taiatltdB and injected under the akin also eures many cases of a*foe«" * v Qt&imft* box Q.--How many thyroid glands does one have?

New rating systems have been secured that will effect substantial savings to the city over a period of years. The switch to the new plan in West McHenry I has been highly satisfactory. For one thing, the old style clocks have been discarded. More important are the rate reductions. A very favorable contract with the Public Service Company provides for a spread of payments on the cost of changing equipment. Thus, the cost of changing over to the new system will be offset by the reduction in rate. Under the new plan, Route 20 will have better illumination throughout the entire night. The safety on this busy section, from Front Street to the river, will be increased through better and increased lighting. A representative of the Illinois Bell Telephone company attended the meeting to discuss replacement of inferior trees in the city park. Several old trees that are now deteriorating will be replaced with young trees of a better grade of wood.
