The Sting Caution and Common Sense Urged for Sting-Allergic Persons If you're stung by an insect while you walk in the woods or picnic this summer, chances are that the sting won't cause morethan a brief, mildly painful disruption. But for a significant number of hypersen­ sitive people, a sting from a wasp, yellow jacket, hornet, honeybee, or bumblebee can be\jnore than annoying -- if left untreated, it c; be fatal.

He VACHEJl LINDSAY: ILLINOIS POET The first quarter of the 20th century' witnessed a literary renaiss ance in the state of Illi* nois and produced a great tri­ umvirate of Illinois poets--Carl Sandburg, Edgar Lee Masters, and Vachel Lindsay. v- His work somewhat charac­ teristic of the group, Nicholas Vachel Lindsay was born in 1879 in Springfield in a house near the Governor's Mansion, the same house where in 1931 he committed suicide by drink­ ing Lysol. After attending A Hiram College, studying art in Chicago and New York, and seeking employment unsuccess­ fully, Lindsay decided to be "a tramp and a beggar." Lindsay devoted many of the years following 1905 to walking tours of the United States, on which he traded his verses for food and shelter. In the words of Edgar Lee Mas­ ters, Lindsay's "interest, his passion was America, the A- merican heroes, American dem­ ocracy, beauty and religion; and in finding the soul of the U.S.A., and giving it voice." In 1913 Lindsay published his first collection, General Wil­ liam Booth Enters Into Heaven And Other Poems, displaying the imagination, rhythm, and drama for which he is best known. The volume contains the poem "The Eagle That is Forgottftf," about former Gov. John P$er Altgeld. \W Don't Just Stand All things come to him who waits--but "him" bet­ ter be working while he's waiting. -North England Record.

Be.careful not to squeeze the sac, for this could release more venom." Patients were also urged to carry emergency kits that contain preloaded syringes of epinephrine -- an adrenaline derivative that if in­ jected immediately will offset an allergic reaction. If you experience what seems to he an allergic reaction to an insect sting (unusual itching, swelling, runny nose, or tightness in the chest). Dr. Barr recommends that you see a physician. Finally, Dr. Barr advises that sting-allergic individuals should take steps to prevent future stings. Insect nests around the house should be removed, carefully. He also recommends certain specific! outdoor preventative measures. "Allergic individuals should always wear shoes and socks out-| doors," Dr. Barr notes. "Another rule is to avoid seeming like a flower to the insect. Avoid floral prints, bright colors, perfumes, or scented hair oils.

FRONT •TWIT MCHENRY. ILLINOIS 60080 Amidst the crudeness of the remnants of the Illinois fron­ tier and of its politics, he found beauty. He became rec­ ognized as a new force among poets, much sought aner as a public reader of his w6rks. In his performances, he attempted to interest the public in poetry through a method he termed "the higher - vaudeville," em- ploying gestures, . chants, rhythms, and other devices. A second vojjwnnsf poems appeared in >914 further em­ phasizing his faith in nature, his patriotism, "his belief in democracy! and a life close to the soil. He imagined the beauty of the virgin prairies of an earlier Illinois and spoke of "flower-fed buffaloes." He wrote of William Jennings Bryan's appearance in Spring­ field during the campaign of 1896 when Lindsay "joined the wild parade against the power of gold." He wrote of Lincoln, "Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight, in Spring­ field, Illinois," and hoped to "rouse the Lincoln in you all." His favorite pioneer hero ap­ peared in one of hisNrpost significant poems, "In Praise of Johnny Appleseed." * Critics believe his best work was done before 1920. Perhaps this is related to the death of his father in 1918 and his mother in 1925, and for a time the, loss of his family home near the Governor's Mansion, which he felt was taken from MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS. Can't Sleep? Insomnia may involve prob- him by wealthy citizens to turn into a museum. He wrote at the time, "I am not going to be robbed of Central Illinois by anyone however deft and pow­ erful they may be. The word Springfield is written in letters of Utopian Gold, is going into every paper and book I write until I die. It will be the mystic city of America. .. I will make Springfield a beautiful city yet." In 1925 Lindsay was mar­ ried, returned to Springfield, and eked out a scant existence performing his works before somewhat unappreciative audi­ ences. After Lindsay's suicide on Dec. 5, 1931, his friend and biographer, Edgar Lee Masters, wrote of the praise and respect which arose for Lindsay from the city, state, and nation, con­ cluding, "He was buried not far from the tomb of Lincoln and committed to the centuries, as his idol had been 67 years before." Like Lincoln, Lindsay was devoted to the prairie, saw beauty amidst the ugliness of life, had a deep respect for people but few real friends, and devoted his life to discov­ ering and singing the praises of the best that was American.

Inability to sleep may be a symptom of mental or emotional disorders such as depression, anxiety, or event schizophrenia. In such cas^s the treatment should be directed at the pri­ mary illness and not at>,the ac­ companying insorhnia. Treatment of Insomnia is a new pamphlet, one of a series of reports to physicians by the Fed­ eral Government's mental health agency--the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Ad­ ministration of the U.S. Depart­ ment of Health, Education, and Welfare. P'Urpose of the series is to give specialized aid to physicians in connection with illnesses which may have mental health impli­ cations. Nearly everyone is interested in insomnia--because most of us have had at least mild prob­ lems with ability to sleep. A few notes on the subject may be of interest to our nonphysician readers. First, the amount of sleep needed varies with individuals. Haven't you envied some person who seems to function with full alertness on 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night? For a few adults "nor­ mal sleep" is as little as 3 hours a night, with most of us sleeping 7 or 8, and some as much as 11 or 12. Insomnia may be situational and transient, and usually you know what particular situation o r p r o b l e m i s c a u s i n g i t . Straighten out or work through the situation and your insomnia is cured. The much more dis­ turbing chronic form of insom­ nia, occurring in as much as IS percent of the population, has no.proven cause and can usually be treated only symptomatically. ) For both kinds of insomnia, the following tips may be helpful: • Don't worry about TOUT in­ ability to sleep. There lis no known physical harm that/cor from poor sleep. Worr insomniac's worst enemy? • Get plenty of exercise. It should be taken several hours before bedtime and should leave you with a mild degree of physi­ cal exhaustion. i • Do something routine and unexciting in the hour before bed: read undramatic material or watch a relating TV program. The pamphlet suggests that, in trying to sleep, ^you think of "a simple repetitive fantasy." (Yes v --counting sheep is as good as any and may work for you!) Physicians may obtain a copy of the pamphlet for lit from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Ask for Treatment of Insomnia, Stock Number 1724-00330.
