PAGE 10 • PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER It, I960 * 3- i Your Police Department by Officer Jim Fitzgerald Do you know what type of door locking device is the best, and most secure? It is called a dead bolt lock. A dead bolt lock is named so because it cannot be moved once it has been set, without using either the proper key, or by using the latch on the inside of the door. We have all seen the large gold or silver rectangular lock with the pointed shaped bolt sticking out of the one end. Remember how you could push the bolt into the casing and it would spring back out when you let it go? That type of lock can be easily slipped open by even the most amateurish burglar. . A dead bolt lock-bar goes out, but cannot be pushed back in because it is held out by a metal cam and not by a spring. Next to removing the door, the only way that the lock can be opened is by the key or the latch from the inside. Put these types of locks on all of vour exterior doors and you will have taken another step towards a more secure home. Publ ic Relat ions Off icer McHenry City Pol ice Phone 385-2131 Now, how about the other places that a burglar can get into your house, such as windows or those sliding glass doors that are becoming so popular, or porch doors to areas that a burglar can hide in while he tries to break open another inside door. As I said in another ar­ ticle, sliding glass doors can be easily secured by putting a broom handle in the track of the one sliding door, cut to the proper length when the door is closed. A metal bar or rod will also work well. Also, there are locks that attach to both doors when they are closed that can be bought at the hardware store. The best way to secure a window is still the lock. It sounds so simple to lock the windows, but how many times have you gone to unlock a window to open it and found that it was already unlocked? Here again, you can cut off an old broom handle or buy a piece of one inch square wood and cut it to the length of the track of the closed * * * * * * * * * * » * * * window and wedge it into the track. Now the window can't be raised even if it is left unlocked. Porch or screen doors can be secured from the inside by cutting a piece of wood and fitting it tightly between the door handle and the door frame. Then if the lock doesn't work or you forget to lock it, the outside handle can't be pulled because the wood won't allow the handle to move. Garage door locks seldom work properly after many years of use, especially on the overhead door on the front of the garage. If the lock doesn't work, you can secure the door temporarily with a screwdriver. Simply put the screwdriver into one of the many holes in the track on the side of the door where the wheels go when the door opens. Find a hole near one of the wheels and put the screwdriver there. Then go to the other door and lock it, with a dead bolt lock. Now, your garage is secure.

They warn that the drug you are about to take "may - cause drowsiness", "should not be taken with milk", or "should be taken with meals only". This occurs because a number of the potent drugs now available for treatment of many conditions have been found to behave properly only under con­ trolled situations. This is another instance where you become responsible for your own health care. The labels must be given the attention necessary to make the drug work properly. The time of day you take the drug may be crucial. If your doctor or the label recommends the drug be taken with meals, it is possible that taking the drug between meals may cause adverse digestive reactions. As an example, the drug Indocin (used often for ar­ thritic conditions) must be buffered by food in the stomach because it may adversely affect the stomach lining if taken on an empty stomach. On the other hand, the antibiotic, tetracycline, is not absorbed properly if taken with milk, cheese or yogurt. Therefore, it is recommended that it be taken between meals. Swallowing drugs with a glass of pop or orange juice is usually not recommended. These liquids produce ex­ cessive acidity which may cause the drug to act in the stomach when it would be absorbed into the blood­ stream more readily in the intestine. What you eat may affect drugs as well. People who take thyroid medications probably should avoid rutabagas, brussels sprouts, turnips, cabbage, kale and soybeans. These vegetables inhibit produc­ tion of the thyroid hormone. Natural licorice eaten regularly in large amounts has a tendency to raise blood pressure. Some high blood pressure medications may not work effectively if your diet includes licorice. The MAO inhibitor drugs (monoamine oxidase) sometimes prescribed for depression and high blood pressure can react dangerously with aged cheese, wine and chkjken livers. Other foods to be avoided with MAO drugs are pickled herring, salami, pepperoni sausage, canned figs, bananas, soy sauce, beer and avocados. Large amounts of aria, coffee, chocolate and raisins are also suspected of reacting poorly w^th these drugs. The MAO drugs include Nardil, Marplan, Parnate, Eutonyl and Eutron. While following directions is taught as early as the primary grades, we tend to treat - such learning somewhat lightly in liter life. However, complex health care technology demands your cooperation to protect your own well-being. If verbal instructions are easily forgotten, write them down in the physician's office. If there is a question about taking a dnig, call your pharmacist. , Following direction and u n d e r s t a n d i n g y o u r prescription drug promotes good health.
