And how you use them is up to you. Because modern medicines have a powerful, and at times, an unpredictable effect on the mind and body, you should never take any prescription tablet or capsule unless your own doctor has prescribed it especially for you. And then make sure you take it only in the recommended dose. For example, a doctor may prescribe a medicine that affects a patient’s mood, if there’s been an abnormal reaction to a problem situation. But not all people react in the same way—even to the same situation. So the medicine that is needed by one person may be unnecessary for another. When it comes to tension and frustration, only a clinic doctor or a qualified physician can help decide whether a mood-changing medicine might help. Because children learn by imitating their elders, parents have a special responsibility to make sure that children cope with life by facing it—not by swallowing tablets or capsules. Evading problems in that way can lead to even more serious problems. Are you setting a good example for your children?

Remember that modern scouring powders often contain chlorine bleach. To be on the safe side, never mix bleach with any other cleansing compound. It’s not worth the risk. When two or more cleansers are combined, they can generate a poisonous gas. If inhaled, these fumes can cause serious injury and possibly death. Sometimes a homemaker feels that one cleanser isn’t doing the job for her, so she adds another. Or, she may think that because one product is good, a com bination will be even better. On the contrary, one product may neutralize or dilute another, or combine in a disastrous way. The addition of a chlorine bleach—a sodium hypochlorite solution—to an acid or acid producing substance, such as a toilet bowl cleanser or vinegar, will suddenly release a quantity of toxic chlorine gas. Similarly, when you mix bleach with other alkaline matter, ammonia or lye, the chemical action liberates a highly irritating gas. Never mix bleaching agents with toilet bowl cleansers, am- 113 8 it - & JW < i Doris Thomas (Continued on Page 29) Stauffer Active in Farm Organizations (Continued from Page 26) Keystone Degree from FFA which he received at Harrisburg January 1970 when Earl retired as state FFA treasurer.
