Pharmacist
The discovery of sulfa
drugs was one of the really
great achievements in medi
cal history because of the
effectiveness of these drugs
in the treatment of so many
types of bacterial infections.
Sulfa drugs were first tested
in the early 19305, and sulfa is
still considered one of the
most effective drugs known
in the treatment of certain
types of infections. Sulfa
drugs are often combined
with some of the more
modern infection fighters
such as penicillin in the
treatment of disease.
Sulfa drugs have been
found to be very effective
when used in the treatment of
large wound areas, especial
ly when these wounds have
been contaminated with dirt
or other matter which is
foreign to the body. Thus,
sulfa drugs have been widely
used in the treatment of
wounds suffered by soldiers
on the battlefields. Of course,
the most common usage is
in the everyday battle
against infection.
Whether it is sulfa or some
other drug that your doctor
prescribes, we stand ready to
fill your every prescription
need. This is the miracle age
of medicine and there is
every chance that you will
enjoy a longer and more
healthful life than your
father or his father. Call on
us for your prescription
medicines.

THE GOOD CENTS PROGRAM
FOR NEW HOMES.
IT COULD SAVE YOU UP TO 50%
ON COOLING
AND HEATING COSTS.
The nation can’t afford to waste energy these days.
And you can’t afford to waste money.
That’s why Georgia Power has developed the
Good Cents Home Program. To inform you about
the features that can cut heating and cooling costs
by 50% in anew home. Features like wall, floor and
ceiling insulation, double-pane windows and special
insulated doors, attic ventilation and properly sized
heating and cooling equipment
When anew home has these features, it’s an
energy-tight dwelling. And the moderate invest
ment they represent will not only add to the resale
value, but will pay for itself over and over again.
So ask your builder or realtor about the Good
Cents Home. And if you’d like more informa
tion, give Georgia Power a call. We’ll be glad Kf
to provide it gg

Driving Tips
To Help You
Save Gasoline
“Fill ’er up.” Each time
you say that, it seems as if
you have to dip into savings
to pay. So isn’t it a good time
to look at ways to save gas?
The Department of Trans
portation has some sugges
tions on how to save gas by
driving carefully and keep
ing the car maintained, and
on how to save money by
choosing the lowest octane
gas that will work efficiently
in your car. For your copy of
the booklet, Gasoline: More
Miles Per Gallon, send 35
cents to the Consumer
Information Center, Dept.
003 E, Pueblo, Colorado 81009.
Mileage is determined by
driving habits, the condition
of the car’s engine, and the
grade of octane rating of the
gasoline used. For better
mileage:
Check your tire pressure at
least once a month. Low tire
pressure increases the
amount of tire touching the
road. This makes it harder
for the car to roll and
increases tire wear.
Periodically have your
mechanic check the tread
wear pattern of your tires to
see if they are properly
aligned. If they are out of
alignment, the tires will wear
excessively and your gaso
line mileage will drop.
Avoid pressing the accele
rator all the way down when
climbing hills and long
grades.
When you drive, be careful
to keep your speed no higher
than 55 m.p.h. - it’ll save a lot
on gas.
Avoid excessive high speed
or jerky driving; learn to
drive as smoothly and
steadily as traffic and road
conditions allow. Jumpy
starts and fast getaways can
burn over 50 percent more
gasoline than normal accele
ration.
Have you car tuned at
regular intervals as recom
mended in your owner’s
manual. It’s especially im
portant that the carburetor,
the distributor, and the spark
plugs are in precise adjust
ment for maximum per
formance, and efficiency.
Be sure you are buying the
proper octane gasoline for
your car. To determine
which octane is best:
After having the engine
tuned, wait until the tank is
nearly empty, then fill up
with the brand you usually
buy, specifying the grade
recommended by your

owner’s manual.
Drive a few miles until the
engine is warmed up. Come
to a complete stop, then
accelerate hard.
If the engine knocks or
pings on the gasoline with the
recommended rating, use up
the tank and refill with the
next higher grade. Repeat
the acceleration test. If the
engine doesn’t knock, this is
the octane needed. If it does
knock on the higher octane,
have the engine checked by
your mechanic.
If the engine doesn’t knock
when you use the octane
recommended in the owner’s
manual, use up the tank and
refill with the next lower
grade. Repeat the accelera
tion test. If the engine doesn’t
knock, you can safely use the
lower grade.

Wise Use of Small Appliances
May Yield Savings
Now that spring is here, home energy usage is
probably down from the amounts used during the
extremely cold months of December, January and
February. While conservation in heating and cooling
may save the greatest number of kilowatt-hours, the
wise use of small appliances and other conveniences
may yield savings as well and should be included in
a total residential energy conservation program.
Small kitchen appliances can save energy in
preparation of small meals. When used correctly,
toasters, waffle irons, electric grills and skillets, bean
pots, fondue cookers, popcorn poppers, electric cof
fee pots and bottle warmers usually require less
energy than the range. Toasting bread in an oven,
for example, requires three times as much energy as
using a pop-up toaster. Portable cooking appliances
should be kept out of drafts, which reduce efficiency.
As with the range, it is important to turn small
kitchen appliances off immediately after use.
Many portable appliances can double as serving
dishes. This will cut down the number of dishes to be
washed and therefore reduce hot water and elec
tricity consumption.
Cold water rather than hot should be used to
operate food disposals. In addition to saving hot
water, this measure helps get rid of grease; the cold
grease solidifies and can be ground up and washed
away.
Many blower-type hair dryers consume as much
energy as an electric toaster and for longer periods.
Towel-drying hair before turning on the hair dryer
saves electricity (and it's healthier for your hair).
Televisions, radios and stereos should be turned
off when no one is watching or listening. Color sets
require considerably more energy than black and
white sets. Instant-on TV sets use electricity 24 hours
a day keeping components heated and ready for
operation. Solid-state television sets, radios and
stereos require less energy than conventional sets.
To maintain maximum efficiency, oil household
cleaning devices as recommended by their accom
panying manuals. Many manuals may also give addi
tional tips on conserving energy while using the de
vice. When vacuuming, for example, empty or re
place the dust bag frequently. A full dust bag re
duces the suction and increases vacuuming time.
Following these measures may not result in the
dramatic kilowatt-hour savings encountered when air
conditioning, heating and major appliances are used
conservatively, but over a year's time, the savings
should be noticeable.
