Society hoia meetings every Sunday from 6 to 7 p.m. and urge all Set Record For Lake Construction The drought which continued to plague Illinois during 1953 had at least one beneficial effect, according to the records of the Department of Conservation. It helped set a new record for construction of fai-m ponds and small lakes in the state. Director Glen D. Palmer said recently that a resume of work done by the Division of Fisheries during the past year revealed that 650 new impoundments were constructed by farmers and clubs. According to Sam A. Parr, fisheries superintendent, this is an all-time record for such construction, exceeding . by at least one-third the previous high set in 1952. Average construction, he said, ranges between 300 and 400 impoundments. These figures include only those ponds and lakes on which Department of Conservation technicians have worked -it V soma mtaiture or o t h e r . i Z r ' ^ ' a Reasons given by the fisheries experts for the sudden increase in construction are twofold. -- because of the drought, farmers and others were able to get machinery into lowland areas normally muddy or full of water; and the extreme dty weather must havte created a desire among landowners to preserve rain and snow that may fall in coming months. Work of the fisheries biologists during 1953 lends new hope for improved fishing ip Illinois, at ljpast as soon as water levels can be returned to normal, Palmer said. The division approved 512 bodies of water, including some streams, for stocking with fish. Most of these were private ponds and lakes meeting department requirements, whieh include at least semi-public fishing. The fisheries division rehabili tated sixty-five water areas by eradicating the previous population of fish and starting operations for restocking. Technicians of the divisior> made 1500 separate investigations of all types of water during the past year, and concluded 831 detailed population studies Parr said twenty-three of those 331 studies were carried or in the Cook County Forest Pre serve district, and that ten Chicago park lagoons were cheeked for fish and fishing possibilities. The fisheries superintendent 3aid plans for 1954 call for "Improved fisheries management through closer observation said analyz&tion of public fishing waters," : "The extent of this improved prograih," Parr added, "will de pend on the available technical HIIH O i l M I Health Talk I H + M-M I I I 1 1 1 H » The Pitfalls of Self-Medicatioa Just why so many persons today yield to the temptation of self-medication is difficult to understand, yet many continue to ignore all warnings .against the practice even though they have been b.cught face to face with tragedy as the result, the educational committee of . the Illinois State Medical «oeiet]r cautions in a health talk. Someone once said that he Who treats himself has a focH for a patient and even & greater fool for a doctor. How true. Aud yet hundreds of gullible persons succumb to the lure held oat fallaciously for all sbrts of patent medicines and nostrums to cover not one, but numerous medical conditions. Together with self-itiedicatltm, there is self-diagnosis. How of ten have we heard someone relate their symptoms in great detail, only to have someone else say "That is just exactly what I had. Let me give you the medicine that absolutely cured me." Misguided knowledge and ignorant dissemination of advice are two sources that have contributed heavily to the toll not only of extensive damage, accident, but even death. There is also the person who thinks if one dose of medicine is good, whether it be a pill tt" an extract, a double dosage, will be even more effective. Some medications, if taken in overdosages, produce toxic effects poisoning which can be serious. A physician's prescription Should be refilled only when the physician so orders, and the drug itself should never be passed on to anyone else. Some patients have a tendency to develop tolerance to drugs, that is, they require progressively increasing amounts to produce the same effect. If not properly supervised, arug adduction can develop. This is true of numerous drugs in the barbiturate family. Many patients suffering from mental confusion, a staggering gait and a skin eruption are found to. be suffering from'the accumulative efects of bromides purchased indiscriminately and taken to quiet their nerves. Preparations to reduce weight are also included in this category of self-medication. Serious and frequently irreparable harm to the body and nervous system can ensue. Modern drugs, stfch as the sulphonamides and the antibiotics, have contributed extensively to controlling disease, but, indiscriminately used, can produce as much damage as they accomplish good. Vitamins have their vital role in maintaining good health, but only if a vitamin deficiency exists. And this knowledge cannot be determined by self-diagnosis. How can any one individual know if his or her diet needs to be supplemented by one or more vitamins ? Lack of pep, cest and vitality can stem from many hidden factors other than vitamin deficiency. A physical examination will do more to establish the cause than a box of vitamins bought indiscriminately across the drug counter. Everyone enjoys a itate of well-being. Certainly wnen one's good health is impaired, a person's attitude toward life in general changes. Don't endanger your own health by prescribing for yourself, and don't jeopardize that of your friends by inflicting your own treatment. Remember that you are an individual, just as is your friend. What can be one man's meat may be another's poison. And remember, vtoo. that your family physician spent years in study and training to understand disease and how to cope with it. It is wise to understand one's self by avoiding self-medication and self-diagnosis.

TAB COLLECTIONS Heoord-hlgh state sales tax collections, estimated to total 210 million dollars for the year which has just ended, indicate that retail sales in Illinois during 1953 were better than ever, according to Richard J.
