This pill, on the market for 113 years, is consumed in the amount of 16 billion every year, according to the American Medical Association. Since aspirin is such an important and common is important that every these facts about its use: —While most doctors think it is safe to take an aspirin or two to relieve minor aches and pains, repeated dosage over an extended period of days should be maintained only with your * doctor’s approval. Aspirin should never be taken to reduce fever without first consulting a physician. Sustained dosage may mask disease symptoms. —To avoid possible irritation to the stomach, aspirin should always be taken with a full glass of water and never on an empty stomach. —Aspirin should be avoided by anyone suffering from an ulcer since its weak acid can irritate the ulcer. , —Aspirin tends to deteriorate in the bottle, never buy more than two or three months’ supply. If the tablets have a vinegary smell or crumble in your hands, the Indiana Farm Safety Council recommends you throw them away. The greatest danger in using aspirin is its familiarity. Since it can be fatal in large doses, make sure it is kept well out of reach of curious. exploring young children. The Indiana Farm Safety Council is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization for the purpose of bringing about safer living for Indiana rural residents.

Spring Cleanup Os Flower Beds Vital LAFAYETTE - Spring cleanup chores extend outside the home. For those who enjoy flower gardening, spring signals a period for an intensive clean up of beds and areas around shrubs. This is of vital importance to the home gardener, points out Donald H. Scott, Purdue university extension plant pathologist, for a thorough cleaning reduces possibilities of infectious plant diseases. All dead plant debris should be raked and discarded before new growth begins, emphasizes Scott. As a spring project, he also suggests the repair of winter damaged trees and shrubs. Prune all broken and diseased limbs. Prune properly and paint wounds with a good wound dressing to prevent wood and heart-rotting organisms from entering the wounds. * Apply dormant fungicide sprays to trees, especially . sycamores that were affected with anthracnose last year. Use a one to nine liquid lime sulfurwater mixture or an 8-8-100 Bordeaux mixture. Remember lime sulfur may discolor paint. Apply dormant sprays when temperatures are above 45 degrees F and before new growth starts. Use a one to nine liquid lime sulfur dormant spray on roses for control of blackspot and stem canker. After new growth starts, use maneb, captan, or ferbam in a periodic spray schedule Spray peonies and tulips for blight control. Use an 8-8-100 Bordeaux mixture on peonies as soon as new shoots appear. Repeat every 10 to 14 days.

County Extension Service News MB MB MB BM MB BM BM MB 888 MB MB M By ANN HANCOCK Your Snacks; Chance Or Choice? With the advent of television, we became a nation of “snackers ”. As we visit or watch television we are apt to nibble on popcorn, potato chips or any one of the various snack foods. Snacks should have a place in the daily intake of the Basic Four food groups. Our snacks should be more of a choice than a chance. The right kind of snacks can help your health and well being. The weight watcher needs to choose his snacks even more carefully. Rather than having sweets or carbohydrates for snacks, we should supplement our daily intake of meat, milk, fruits or vegetables. Since most of us do not get enough fruits and vegetables each day these would be good snacks. Fresh fruits such as an apple, orange, or banana provide needed nutrients and also are easy to snack on. Fresh vegetables can be cleaned and kept in the refrigerator for a quick snack. If you do not like to drink milk, ice cream or cheese would serve as a worthwhile snack. If your children drink kool-aid. add a vitamin C product to it. This will not change the flavor but will increase the nutrients. “Fruit Fresh” is one synthetic vitamin C product that is sold in most supermarkets. Carbonated beverages, candy, cakes and pastries all belong to the carbohydrate group. They provide energy but do not supply any vitamins, minerals, or protein. And they are expensive. Whether you are an occasional snacker or a frequent nibbier, remember you can make every morsel count toward a balanced diet. Chocolate Drink Mix 1 lb. box instant Hershey’s Chocolate Drink, 1 8 quart box powdered milk, 1 6 oz. jar Pream, » 2 cup powdered sugar. Mix well and store in covered container. To serve, use one third cup mix and add one cup of hot water and dash of salt. Makes 19 cups dry milk, 57 servings, four cents per serving.

Asparagus Lovers On Increase LAFAYETTE — The number of asparagus lovers increases each year. Since established plants bear year after year, its ease of care pleases home gardeners. Generally speaking, an area 20 feet square or a row 50-75 feet long will supply fresh asparagus for a family of five or six, points out John A. Wott, Purdue university extension home environment horticulturist. Asparagus crowns should be transplanted from April 15 to May 15, Do not allow the crowns to dry out in the transplanting process, warns Wott. Prevention of dried up crowns is extremely important in obtaining a good stand of sturdy young spears. Place the crowns in a row six to nine inches apart without furrows, six to eight inches deep. Make the rows two to three feet apart. Cover the crowns with two to three inches of soil. When the spears begin to emerge, start cultivation and ' continue periodically until the furrows are level at the end of the season. Harvest only two or three times in the first year after transplanting, says Wott. Thereafter, harvest for about two months in the spring. When cutting ceases, allow the fem-like tops to develop and produce leaves. Sugars are manufactured in the leaves and then stored in the roots to produce shoots the following spring. Allow the tops to stand over the winter. Most of the sugars manufactured in the top of the plant moves to its roots during the late fall months. Remove the dead tops early the following spring before growth begins. For more information about growing asparagus, ask for Indiana Cooperative Extension Service publication HO-96 at your county Extension office. Single copies are free to Indiana residents. LAKELAND LOCALS The Guy Hollars of Nappanee spent Sunday at their Syracuse lake home.
