In addition to lung cancer, smokers face another health hazard related to their ad­ diction. r Its name: Emphysema. If you smoke, your chances of dying from this chronic disease of the lungs are 500 per cent greater than those of your non­ smoking neighbor. How does smoking cause emphysema? liie smoke you inhale may cause you to develop a chronic, forceful cough. This kind of coughing can permanently expand the air cells in various parts of your lungs. When that happens, you've got emphysema. Your lungs operate much less efficiently, since the swollen parts no longer can do their job. Breathing is faster and not as deep. Your chest may become larger and barrel-shaped. Most important, your lungs and heart work harder ~ and this added burden can be dangerous. Though emphysema is a leading cause of disability among Americans, you may not know you have it for quite some time. Symptoms usually develop over a gradual course and you probably wouldn't recognize the problem until your middle years. Once the disease is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend that you take steam inhalations to relieve coughing attacks. He may also r e c o m m e n d s p e c i a l precautions against catching colds or more serious respiratory ailments. There is the chance, too, that he will prescribe permanent residence in a location of warm climate for maximum benefit and safety. A person who is too busy to take care of his health reminds us of the carpenter who didn't have time to take care of his tools.

Baber Buick-Opel U.S. RTE. 12 - FOX LAKE across from Pistakee Bay 90 Years Of Community Service Our First Our First 90 Years of Community Service The first week of February marks the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the N.J. Justen Furniture and Undertaking firm. Established in 1882, it is the oldest business in McHenry still in operation by members of the original family. Today, the firm is known as the Peter M. Justen &Son Funeral Home, located at 3807 West Elm Street. It was 90 years ago that Nick and Gertrude Justen moved from the Kennebeck farm, east of McHenry, to Main Street and opened one of the first under­ taking establishments in McHenry County. VJ W Nick J. Justen sits In front of his first store, established in 1882. It was located on Main Street in West McHenry. Development Sometime later, a partnership farmed between Nick Justen and his younger brother, Jacob. The firm became known as Justen Brothers Furniture and Undertaking. A year later, Nick Justen employed his younger brother, Jacob. At the end of a year, a partnership was formed which lasted twelve years. When it was dissolved, Nick Justen remained on Main Street, then known as West McHenry, while Jacob Justen located at the corner of Green and Elm Streets. In the early days, all hearses were horse-drawn, and the Doherty farms for many years furnished a pair of fine black horses for each funeral. However, when the first auto hearse was manufactured, the progressive Nick Justen purchased one of the first power-driven hearses in the County. It was in 1915 that his son, Peter M. Justen, entered the business and in 1939 built one of the finest funeral homes in the area. The latter's son Daniel A. Justen, took over the management and operation of the business in 1958, later engaging the services of Laverne R. Sund. The chapel now has three state licensedembalmers Funeral Directors, Peter M. and Daniel A. Justen, and Laverne R. Sund. We who have conducted the business are grateful to the many friends and business acquaintances made through the years. It is our sincere hope that we may continue to serve the local community in the last decade of our century in business. Nick J, Justen is shown driving the first horse-drawn hearse in McHenry County.
