Show J Thursday, December 24, 1964 THE VALLEY VIEW NEWS Bug Killers Are It would be virtually impossible Potentially Dangerous i New products on the market, from cleansing agents to bug killers, offer to make life easier, but they are also potentially dangerous. Many contain lethal poisons, according to Dr. Alan K. Done, head of Salt Lakes Poison Control Center and associate research professor of Pediatrics at ' the University of Utah College of Medicine. If an individual swallows I v some product, and his doctor doesnt know whether or not it is poison, the doctor can call the l Poison Control Center and, by knowing only the brand name, learn what is in the product, s' what the effects are, and what the treatment is, said Dr. Done. The Center has access to 50,000 product brand names and their ingredients. The telephone num- ber is: Area Code 801, ; i Physicians at the Center treat : over 1,000 poison cases every in year the Centers present location, the emergency room of the Salt Lake County General Hospital. The Center will be located in the new University of Utah Medical Center after June 15, med-ficJ 1965. In addition, each year staff of the Poison Control Renter consult with physicians the telephone concerning . !over other poisonings. h,000 : The Poison Information and Therapy Center is in close com- munication with more than 100 pother such centers throughout lthe United States, according to Dr. Done. Each of the centers 'passes information about treat- ing poison cases on to the other centers. All such information is funneled through the National Clearing House for Poison Control Centers in Washington, D.C. This means that if the center. Jin Boston treats a poison case involving a new product, information about the treatment will be immediately passed on to our said Dr. Jil Center in Salt Lake, MDone. This is especially valuable, since new brands are being placed on the market all the time at a rate of about a quarter of a million per year, many of them potentially poisonous.

According to Dr. Done, the emergency room for the Center has every antidote known, even the one for rattlesnake bites, on hand always and immediately available for use. He said that the Center has four roles. It provides immediate information about the effects of any product. Although specialists at the Center prefer to deal with the physician rather than the patient or patiens family, this information is available to anyone. We never deny information to anyone who calls, said Dr. Done. However, the family physician knows the individuals medical history, whether they have a condition that would make them more susceptible to a product ingredient than other people who would not necessarily be effected by it. He sai dthat the Centers second role is the actual treatment of a case of poisoning when assistance is requested by the private physician. The Center has the experience of treating many poisonings, while the pfivate physicians will see very few cases a year and so prefer to rely on those more experienced. The Centers third role is that of advisor. It consults with physicians and others as to what they can expect to occur when a person has been poisoned, and what can be done about it. The fourth activity of the Center is to pass any information or experience on to the other centers, as well as to collect such of this information. A is the aerly recognition activity of local hazards which can then be brought to the attention of the public or proper authorities. -- Hospitality Hints, The Dash Does It According to the latest professional information, there are 224 mixed drinks including 156 cocktails from which to choose in case you are hot, or cold, or wet, or dry, or bored, or convivial; if you have something to celebrate or wish you did, or had last night; if you are alone or if somebody is with you. This information comes from an encyclopedic work called the Professional Mixing Guide which, in addition to the other pertinent advice, proceeds with the recipes from the Abbey cocktail to the Zombie, moving on into the Swizzles of the West Indies, 18 different punches and ten varieties of hot grog. We learned that 104 of the mixed drinks and including 59 of the 156 cocktails are only possible as a result of the research and development work of Dr. Johann Siegert more than 140 years ago. As Surgeon-Generin the army of Simon Bolivar, he sought to improve the appetite of the troops for whatever food the General could find for them, and came up with a al The easiest place to shop this is your bank.

The rule, of course, will vary according to the individual needs of your dog. One way to tell if you are feeding too much is to observe him as he eats. If he leaves the dish while there is still food in it, or if he stops eatii g to gaze off into space, then the chances are you are feeding him too much. Let him eat for thirty minutes and then take up the dish and dispose of the uneaten portion. Feed him less the next day. Do not leave uneaten food in the dish. To do so teaches your dog to become a finicky eater. The grown dog does very well on one meal a day. If you feed twice a day, he may eat 20 per cent more food than he needs. This will be used to make unneeded fat, or it will pass out as waste. Either way, overfeeding is costly to you. Be careful about adding vitamins to your dogs food. A dry food such as Purina Dog Chow, contains more than adequate amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other factors for normal-gro- wth and maintenance. Additional vitamins may actually injure your dog. Also, some vitamin carriers may even destroy other vitamins. f ct Christmas Page 7 May this Christmas bring you peace and happiness and our loved ones about jou.
