THE FRANKLIN FRES3 AND THE HIGHLANDS MACON IAN THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1937 PAGE TWO Medical Director Offers Hot Weather Health Hints The present widespread heat needless haste. On hot days take wave has led Dr. Robert A. Fraser, chief medical director of the New York Life Insura'nce company, to issue a health warning, cautioning every one to take simple safeguards that their health may not be im paired 'by the extreme temperatures. Dr. Fraser offers lO'health hints for hot weather that are easily fol lowed by young and old. They are: 1. Take it easy don't rush around. 2. Wear a hat out in the sun. . 3. Wear cool, loose fitting clothes. 4. Get plenty of rest and sleep. 5. Eat moderately of easily di gested foods. , 6. Drink plenty of cool (not ice cold) liquids. 7. Exercise moderately. 8. Take frequent tepid (not cold) baths. 9. Do not stay in direct sunshine for long periods. 10. Avoid large meetings in poor ly ventilated auditoriums. "If all of us would observe these rules," Dr. Fraser said, "our gen eral physical condition would be vastly improved and we would be able to withstand hot weather with much less difficulty." In commenting on his 10 health hints for hot weather, Dr. Fraser feels that children arc more, apt to forget rules five and six, which are extremely important for them, while adults are very likely to ignore rules one, two and frequent ly six. "Children, because they really don't know any better, are very prone to overeat, and to gulp large quantities of ice cold . 'pop' and water," Dr. Fraser remarked. "They should be carefully controlled along these lines. Children either observe the balance of the health hints without knowing that they are do ing so or, because of their youth and vitality, they can afford to ignore them. For instance, a child may rush around all day long with out a hat, frequently out in the sun, and show no ill effects. On the other hand, they instinctively pre fer a minimum of clothing and will sleep readily, if they are tired. "Adults, however, should avoid going out without a hat. They should also drink sparingly of 'ice cold' liquids and, very important, see to it that they get plenty of sleep and rest. In addition, grown people should refrain from expend ing great quantities of .energy in it easy. . Two Common Ailments Sunstroke and heatstroke, Dr. Fraser. points ..out, are two hot weather ailments that are quite common, though very , different in their symptoms and in the way they affect the stricken , individual. Both sunstroke and heatstroke can be avoided by following the health hints for hot weather. ; Sunstroke Sunstroke can be avoided, by ,keeping out of the hot sun and by not overdoing in physical exercise. An attack frequently begins with nausea, giddiness and mental ex citement, following a long exposure to the sun. The face is flushed, the pulse full and rapid. The first thing to do is remove the patient to a cool spot and then send for a doctor immediately. Re duce the body temperature by plac ing the patient in a cold bath, sponging the surface of the body with cold water or rubbing the body with ice. Keep up the treatment for 10. or 15 minutes and then place the pa tient between iblankets without drying the body. If there is no im provement within 15 minutes, re peat the cold applications as be fore and keep repeating tkem every 15 minutes until conscious ness is well established. ' - Sometimes after apparent re covery, the patient becomes drowsy again and the head becomes hot. The treatments' must then be re peated as before. "Those who arc forced to work in the open sunlight," Dr.. Fraser explained, "should see to it that they wear a hat that protects the back of the neck as well as the top of the head and their clothing should not be close fitting or bind the body! Furthermore, they should take great care to drink large amounts of cool water1 or cool, weak tea to make .up for the ex cessive amounts of moisture lost by the body through prespiration." Heatstroke Heatstroke differs from sunstroke in that it does not depend on ex posure to the sun, but may attack a person during extremely hot, humid weather. It is characterized by sudden fainting attacks, the body is cold and clammy, the face pale, the pulse, weak and flighty and a gasping or sighing respira tion. . ' , First send for the doctor. Then apply hciit to the patient's feet and around the body. If the patient is conscious' and can swalkAv, give quantities of hot, weak tea. Can You Afford To Be Without It? Funeral Benefit Insurance costs so little that no one should do without it, especially those who are dependent on moderate incomes. The rate? are far lower than you might, ex pect. These rates are based on the death rate within our own organization, a mutual body governed by the laws of North Carolina. In this association the following assessments are now in effect: 5 Quarterly 10 Quarterly 20 Quarterly 30 Quarterly Ages 1 to 9 years Ages 9 to 29 years Ages 30 to 49 years' Ages 50 to 65 years Benefits are provided in the amount of $100 for persons over 10 years of age and in the amount of $50 for persons under 10 years of age. In slightly more than a year that this associa tion has been in operation we have reached a membership of more than 6,000, and during this time we have paid our members over $2,000. Our finances are in excellent shape and with your co-operation we will continue to make this a strong association. Don't wait for an agent to call on you -come in today and join while you are in good health, tomorrow it might be too late. ..', Bryant Burial Association FRANKLIN, N. C. Now Checking Farms Under Soil Program The work of checking compliance on' some .130,000 North .. Carolina farms which are cooperating in the agricultural conservation program got under way this month. Information gathered in the check will be used to determine the amount of soil-building and diver sion payment each grower is to get, said II, A. Patten, state com pliance supervisor at State college. Forms have been furnished from Washington on which will be set down the acreages of depleting and conserving crops and the areas on which soil-building practices are be ing conducted. Since fanners have, until October 31 to plant certain conserving crops and start soil-b.uilding practices under the 1937 program, the task of checking compliance cannot be fully completed until after " that date, Patten pointed out. In 60 counties, aerial photographs being made this summer, or taken previously, will be used to deter mine the acreages of different fields on individual farms. The supervisor will take the pic tures to the farm and identify, with the help of the farmer, the dif ferent fields, and the crops grow ing on them. Acreage can be checked with an accuracy within one per cent when the protographs are used. This method is also faster a.nd more economical than measuring With tapes, Patten stated. North Carolina farmers earned, more than $12,(XX),()(X)' under the program last year with some 115, OC'J farms cooperating. ' Borax Cures Yellow Disease in Alfalfa Alfalfa growers over the state have been reporting, a diseased condition of their crop in which the . plant leaves turn yellow tin midsummer. Applications of 5 to 10 pounds of ordinary " borax per acre will remedy the trouble, said L. G. Willis, soil chemist at the ' N. C. agricultural experiment station. After more than a" year's study of the problem, Willis said the dis ease is due ,to a deficiency in the soil, and the trouble has been found to increase year by year. . Many growers have been afraid to cut the diseased, plants for feed, with the result that they lose their midsummer -cutting: Spring and fall,' cuttings are not affected by the disease. . Borax costs about $3 a hundred pounds. To apply it evenly over a field, mix it with some other ma- terial. Basic slag is recommended,' as it tends to neutralize soil acid ity. ' On fields where yellow plants arc found, borax should be applied immediately, Willis pointed out. To prepare a field for alfalfa sowing this fall, the soil should be limed to neutrality. Or basic slag can be used in place of the lime. With the slag or lime apply 5 to 10 pounds of borax. When slag is used, less super-, phosphate can be applied in the fertilizer. This will save money. Superphospate also increases the need for borax. Basic slag contains manganese, an element that increases the efficiency of the borax. Borax should be applied each suc ceeding year at the rate of 5 pounds per acre at the time of the regular fertilization, Willis said. , ..iim. hi mi mi.inii.nnn I n ' t.. '3 Mother-think of it!
