Charlie Harrle A Gary Eastiund In the mind* of most people the inevitability of death ha* always been balanced with belief in an afterlife. One study by a respected survey organization showed that fully two-thirds of all American* believe in life after death. The same survey also showed that this belief can be directly correlated with the amount of education received. Furthermore. belief in on afterlife i* not tied to one age group over another. A teenager i* just os likely to believe a* a 50-year-old. What is more predictable about attitudes, however, is that a clear majority expected to go to Heaven as opposed to that other ploce. - . It is only of late that many "inevitable" questions hove been put forth so that answers may be obtained and a better understanding of all phase* of life may be achieved. Education and understanding ore Important and allow u* to put into better perspective life * inevitability and to more effectively deal with it when the moment occurs.

Some fabric dyes may be hazard to health

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind Three fabric dyes which are available to the public may be carcinogenic, according to the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Jean Goodrick. Extension textiles specialist at Purdue University, says that the commission has been directed to develop a proposal to ban the use of three potentially carcinogenic tvpes of fabric dye. Human epidemiological studies conducted outside the V. S. suggest a direct link between occupational exposure to benzidine dyes and bladder cancer. “The suspect benzidine and twochemicallv similar types of dye have been used in an estimated 60 percent of all home dye products.” says Goodrick. Although, according to the CPSC. benzidine dves currently are not used in consumer dyes, products containing benzidine still may be on retail store shelves and in consumers' homes. The three suspected dyes have been used predominantly in dark shades bf dyes - browns, blues, and blacks. According to reports, says Goodrick. the dyes in their original form are not carcinogenic. But. whenever they enter the human system they are broken down into chemicals that, are potentially carcinogenic. The dyes may enter the human system by inhalation of dye powders, by absorption through the skin when hands are dipped into the dye. and by Rinds 'n blooms Add delicious fragrance and flavor to tea by keeping a few pieces of dried orange rind dr dried orange blossoms in the tea cannister.

ingestion of the dye Before the commission decides to issue a ban on the dyestuff, the CPSC will gather additional data on the health effects of the dyestuffs, as well as information which consumers could use to identify the dye products which contain the suspected dye ingredients. Drug quiz by Curt Scarborough, Ph.D. Used by permission; all rights reserved by DATE, St' Louis, Mo. QUESTION Which is America's most used drug? a) Valium b) Codeine c) Insulin d) Aspirin ANSWER - Daily consumption of aspirin in America is running at more than 20 tons. We take more than 20 billion aspirin tablets a year in the United States. -about 100 for every man, woman, and child - and it could be our most overused drug. Though aspirin overdoses are still common, they are no longer the leading cause of accidental poisoning in children, according to the FDA Consumer. This is because of the widespread use of childproof containers and restrictions on the number of tablets permitted in bottles of children's aspirin. Still, adults should be careful about not overdoing it by taking too many of the extra-strength tablets now being marketed. Correct answer - d. Do you have a question or a comment about drugs?
