The transcription, sent to all radio stations in Illinois, was produced by experts and stresses the necessity. for alert driving.

He described it a program which hits hard at An earlier radio program had as its theme the death in a highway accident of the one millionth person, and was based on an article entitled "Mr. Million" | written by J.

The second pro- > gram was sponsored by Secretary • Barrett because of "a wonderful response and numerous inquiries" to the "Mr. Million" transcription. Mr. Barrett pointed out that the "Man in The Street" program is particularly timely because "this 1b the time of the year when highway automobile accidents are on the incrt^se.

Health Talks Sleeplessness Should m Investigated 1 The use of drugs to induce sleep may make you a slave to a bad habit, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society warns in a HEALTH TALK. Many persons have difficulty in sleeping and, after wrestling with their problems for several days and nights, may feel obligated to take a sleeping pill or powder. Their sedative effect puts the body at rest and sleep results. Habits are formed by repeating the same action ever and over again and persons who use a drug frequently and long enough to make them sleep may be developing into addicts and creating a menace to their health. Commonly used as sleep-inducing --agents are the barbiturates, a family--of drugs called depressants; that is, they lower bodily activity. These compounds have real value, if used with discretion under the supervision of a physician. Veronal, the first of the barbituric compounds to be discovered, was manufactured in 1903 by combining urea with an acid. Since then, numerous related synthetic drugs have been developed. These compounds are also called hypnotics because they induce sleep. True hypnotics include such drugs as chloral, chloralam^de, sulphonal, hypnal, paraldehyde, j^cetanilid, ural and uret|irane. Synthetic drugs of the barbiturate family are such drags as phenobarbital, barbital, nembutal, Seconal and amytal. The hypnotics must be distinguished from the ane«thetics, used to kill pain, though these often induce sleep as well. Before the barbiturates appeared. physicians depended on such habit-forming opiates as morphine and codine both to relieve insomnia and to ease severe pain. These drugs are strongly habit* forming and thus recognizably dangerous, unless used only undef medical supervision. They may not be legally sold exeejit on prescription. When they were easily accessible. people used them freely at\d frequently either for sleep or pain, and became addicts, or they took, them for suicidal purposes. Too much of one drug can produce toxicity or poisoning in the chemical substances of the body; a '^condition which results in drowsiness, a mental stupor, a difficulty in walking and talking, and noticeable tremors of the tongue, lips and fingers. A victim of insomnia should consult a physician. The condition is not a disease, but a symptom, and therefore a signal that something is awry in the emotional or physical structure of the body. It has many causes, many of which require no drugs for relief. If the physician prescribes a drug, it should be taken only so long as he directs. No attempt should be made to refill a prescription for continued use without the physician's order. After repeated use, a drug's effect on the body becomes less, so that more is required to produce a given result. The patient thus needs more and more to put him to sleep, developing finally either acute or chronic poisoning or in addiction. See your physician if you can't sleep. Let him discover the cause of your wakefulness. I^on't take any kind of drugs, no matter how harmless they seem in the8 advertisements. l»on't take a drug handed out by a sympathetic friend. That friendly gesture be harmful. Traffic Accidents The number of motor traffic accidents on Illinois highways goes up year by year- Charles P. Casey, director of the state Department of Public Works and Buildings, noted that 216,647 accidents wt*Te reported to the department last year. In 1850 there were 205,517. The totals have been increasing, annualy for' the past eight years. , Subscribe for The Plaindealcr Heart Fluid Drive Quota Is $165#000 Research brainpower needed for the development of new and better methods of treating and caring for heart disease will get support under investlgatorshlps and fellowships totaling $185,650. granted by the American Heart association.
