Using Medicine k Wisely by Jade Perlman, M.D. You've gone to the doctor, had your problem and now you've prescription filled for the medicine to treat the ailment. The doctor and phar­ macist have done their jobs. Now it's up to you to use the medicine wisely. The best way to is follow a few simple rules. N ...Take your medication as directed. Your physician always has a rearfon, sometimes more than one, for prescribing a particular medicipe. v ...Be sure that .you un­ derstand directions, such as the times during the day when the medication is to be taken. For example, "four times a day" may mean every four hours while you are awake or every six hours around the clock. If you're not sure, don't guess. Ask your physician or phar­ macist. ...If you miss a dose, don't try to catch «p by doubling the next dose. Call your physician or pharmacist to find out what to do. ..."Take with meals" means that the medicine should be consumed with or WHAT S NEW immediately after eating a scheduled meal. If it's not possible to eat a meal, the medicine should be taken with some food, even if it's only crackers or milk. This prevents stomach upset that could occur if the medicine is taken on an empty stomach. ...Take the entire prescription if the directions say to do so. Even if the symptoms are gone and you feel much better, continue taking the medication as directed until it is finished. ...Be sure the label stays on a prescription container until the memcation is used -tJT destroyed. Each prescription box or bottle label displays the name of the patient, physician, pharmacy, prescription number, date of purchase and the dosage directions. Remember to use caution when taking medicine and consuming alcohol. Alcohol acts on the brain as a depressant and may tem­ porarily decrease coor­ dination, response to pain, alertness, breathing and sight. Alcohol also interferes with the action of some medications. Take your medicine "as directed" so that the medicine can best help you.

MARCH I*, Coathangers Can Be Used To Reinforce Concrete The thirst for education has always been present in the American spirit. Long before one-room school houses there were stories of fire-side learning in the home. All Americans today, however, can attend public schools because dedicated men and women had the foresight to know the social and economic well-being of our nation depends on edu­ cated people. • Schools have always been in the midst of preparing Americans for the future. Symbolic of this is the use of schoolhouses for community gstherings, two meetings and voting precincts, as well ss spelling bees, sporting events and dances. In times of emergency, school buildings have been used for Red Cross purposes. Selective Service functions, relief programs and similsr activities. The U.S. Postal Service recognized the contribution In spite of all the ada, we haven't found a way to lose ten pounds painlessly. I tm planning te nuke some octagon-shaped stepping stones for mj garden next spring sad a friend said I should reinforce them with coathangers when I pour the concrete. How do I do this? You can use coathangers or wire mesh cut to the design of the stones. With coathangers, bend and shape to the stone design and tie together with thin wire. Pour half of the cement into the form, insert mesh or coathangers and pour rest of concrete. What causes s "skin" to form on the surface of paint when it is stored for s period of time? Air inside the can oxidizes the oil in the paint. It's best to store paint in full cans. The problem will be decreased if you transfer paint to a proper size container. A tablespoon of paint thinner spread evenly over the surface of the paint is also helpful. mm INCOWElT/M CALL CREATIVE LAWN CARE !*< > £> V*.
