For most merchants, the risk of business inter­ ruption, theft, employee fidelity, and public lia­ bility is increased during this busy shopping season. The new 'commercial pa­ ckage' insurance from Stoffel and Reinhansperger Insurance Agency adeq­ uately covers these and many other risks.

ELM 385-0300 McHENRY, ILL.: Make It Beef Next time you order beef in a restaurant, you'll know you're in good company. Of all food items available, beef is number one in restaurants according to a recent USDA study of the food service industry. In fact, about 28 per­ cent of all beef produced in the United States is sold through food service outlets, accounting for more than 21 percent of their purchases. Lamb Loaf Ground lamb shapes into a tasty loaf when mixed with whole wheat bread cubes, crushed dried mint leaves, salt and pepper. Bake and serve with green peas, buttered potatoes, fruit salad and butterscotch pudding. 1900 - YESTERYEAR - There once was a strange flower growing in every field. It had a foreign sounding name and when you held it in your hand, you felt suddenly a mysterious power. The children, still very young, they picked that flower.... brought it home, dried it and soon began to smoke that flower. They felt strong, gay, happy and bright. A boy, known before as lonely and shy felt suddenly strong, like a giant and almost like a thousand feet high. They enjoyed that strange and good feeling and invited their friends to take a smoke. "Just wait, my buddies", so they said, "Soon, you also will feel like a king". And the good news about that flower spread around all over this land. "If you want to feel good and full of power, Friend, just open up your hand".... And from a few stupid children who began at one time to smoke, hundreds and thousands, joined this club and the slang you could hear: "Power, thru that flower, was no longer a joke". This sickness spread from state to state all over this great and big country. It was like a horrifying nightmare and people, who spoke against it, were no longer, free All this did happen a quarter of a century ago, today we write, the year, two-thousand and five. All the young people, from yesterday.... the victims of smoking pot and drugs you can find in huge homes, outside the city. There they exist - not as human-beings, as trash and being treated there, without pity. /' Every single person had his own chance to live a good and useful life But they had to do it their own way and now, they exist, fenced in... They do^t live anymore, they just survive. Today, in the year of two-thousand and five when you visit such a horrible place... You know in your heart.... this war against this disease is now won. But those who did not listen.... they are now the shame and mark to the buman-race.... If we could erase the written pages from the middle of the nineteenth century, If we would have been stronger, thfcn.... would there still be people living in that misery? If we had tried to overcome our fear If we had fought, all together-- I am sure, there would be not such a place, outside of almost every city.... where people now exist, the youth and ignorant from the nineteenth century (by Maria Heiser) PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1973 Todcys Health Nen/s Published by the American Medical Association Marian Honor Roll Includes Many From Area Marian High School Prin­ cipal Thomas J.

These coupon offers are manu­ facturers' ways of getting you to buy and try new products. Often they are, used to promote new products, but clipping and re­ deeming coupons can benefit a consumer too. You can cut costs, especially in grocery shopping, if you're care­ ful not to buy unnecessary items, or expensive or luxury products, just to use up your coupons. To save money, use coupons for items you regularly purchase. Look for coupons in newspa­ pers and magazines. When you shop, look for coupons displayed on the shelves and packages con­ taining coupons. Then exchange with friends to get coupons for the products you want. Organize your box-tops, labels and other offers, sorting them in­ to product categories. And watch dates to be sure you use them be­ fore offer expires. The money saved will make coupon clipping worth your time. Those dimes and nickels can quickly mount into dollars.

Atomic heart pacemaker . . . Three years ago, Russell V. Lee, M.D., of Palo Alto, California died -- but only for a few sec­ onds. The 75-year-old doctor's h^fc# stopped momentarily while seating himself in front of the TV. Fortunate for this elder statesman of American medicine, he regained consciousness and eventually returned to full health with the assistance of an Amer­ ican-made nuclear pacemaker, a mechanical device that keeps the heart functioning properly. Dr. Lee is one of approximately 70 heart patients who have volun­ teered to test these first Ameri­ can-made nuclear models. (A bat tery-operated model is already be­ ing used on some 60,000 to 75,000 Americans). The nuclear pacemaker, a 1V4 x 2 x 2%-inch, 4-ounce device, is usually implanted in the chest area just below the skin with electrode wires running from the device to the heart muscle. These wires are charged with electrical current to stimulate contraction of the heart. Pacemakers are used only in persons suffering from cardiac defects in which normal nerve impulses fail to reach the heart muscle. They must be re­ placed every few years -- 2 cr 3 years for the battery-operated model and 10 years for the nu­ clear model. These first clinical trials on hu­ mans, which began last April 9, brought to fruition a 10-year, $5.5 million research project in­ volving the Atomic Energy Com­ mission. the National Heart and Lung Institute, Arco Nuclear Company, and Raytheon Electron­ ics. If all goes well with the tests, the atomic-powered, life--main­ taining device will be available for clinical use within two years. Tight-girdle syndrome . . . W e a r ­ ing a girdle can cause organ dis­ placement, reports a New Eng­ land doctor. Paul Dudley White, M.D., lists three symptoms of fvhat he terms j "The tight-girdle syndrome": an uncommonly vigorous pulsation in the neck; and upward displace- 1 ment of the diaphragm, stomach, and esophagus; and displacement of the heart (pushed upward by the diaphragm) with a decrease I in space for the function of the j lungs and heart. I What should you do about it? Loosen the girdle; it has worked j in all cases, says Dr. White.
