With tj'fie unfortunate emphasis today on sleep inducing agents called barbiturates, the antihistamines and the antibiotics as "cure-alls," it is no wonder that the. public is confused. Properly handled under competent itiedical supervision, (these drugs have a useful place in alleviating pain and curing disease. Frequently, for example, it is necessary to prescribe a sedative, but sleeping piHs and powders as a regular habit can be extremely harmful. When the body and mind are functioning normally, there is no need for drugs to make you sleep. The antihistaminic drugs are a product of the research laboratory which marks the advance of medicine in the curative field. Handled carefully, these drugs ! are producing good results in ' Some conditions related to allergy, but they * are also causing severe reactions in certain individuals. Histamine is a Chemical normally present in the body which, in some persons, is the factor involved in allergic con^ ditions, such as hives, hay fever and other sensitivities. Thus the antihistaminic ding is a compound designed to fight this then fights organisms or bacteria either by destroying them completely or decreasing their growth. There are numerous antibiotic drugs, ail of which Work differently in various conditions. They too produce different reactions necessitating the watchful supervision of a physician. Research is necessary to learn the cause and cure of disease. Research brings knowledge and knowledge is power -- the power I to -ave •now marketed does • . l.i fe . and relie,v e pain. Bu..t. indiscriminate use of drugs will undo the good that is being accomplished. Self-mCdication is not the answer to the product about 355 pounds, or 7 per cent m6re. Ice cream sales will to(al about 2.9 billion pounds, 126 per cent more 'than in 1935-39. Consumption will average about 17 pounds per person, 73 per cent more. Over 1.3 billion pounds of Cheese will be used this year, 96 per cent more than in 1935- 39. Cheese consumption will be nearly eight pounds per person, 40 per cent more than before the war. Butter Market Shrinks. Fastgrowing consumer buying power has not brought increased use of butter. The reason is that competition from otfcer produots increased duringv and since World War II. Forty years ago the cream from half of all milk was churned) for butter. Now only a little more than one-fourth of all milk is skimmed for cream for making butter. In most years from 1910 to 1940, average butter consumption ranged from 16 to 18 pounds per person. In 1952 and 1953 the average dropped to 8% pounds per person, and it is now about 9 pounds. The butter used this year will total about 1.6 billion pounds, onecapita consumption wild average fourth less than before the war. ALFALFA m ARTHRITIS?

Because so many antihistaminic titrugs not mean that tf.ey are safe or that they are the answer to the mystery of the common cold which is characterized by symptoms similar to forms of allergy:, such as itching and swelling of the nasal membranes, tearing of tihe eyes, and the like. Taken indiscriminately, the antihistaminic drugs can kill. They can also be the means of causing death and injury, since they produce side-effects in certain persons that make them unsafe to drive a car, for example. These side-effects include nausea, vomiting, headaches, poor coondtination and drowsa- j ness. Antibiotic drugs are another group which must be handled carefully.
