July 11: Dwayne Colwell, News from your Pharmacist b 3^v Hoard Every home medicine chest should contain several basic items for use in treatment of minor wounds and abrasions. Avery essential item is a bottle of alcohol. This is used to disinfect the wound and should be used after a puncture or abrasion has been thoroughly cleaned with the use of sterile cotton and soap. A box of sterilized cotton is another basic item for the medicine cabinet. In addition to its use in cleaning wounds, cotton may also be used as a compress to halt or slow bleeding. Cotton swabs are another necessary item. These swabs can be used for cleaning small wounds and for application of antiseptics. This brings us to another “must” item for home first aid. There are any number of commercial antiseptics a vailable, including lodine, Merthiolate, and Mercuro chrome. Of course, various sizes of sterile bandaids and bandag es should be kept on hand, so that all sizes of wounds can be covered, if necessary. Our pharmacy carries a complete selection of these and all other first aid items to supply the medicine chest at home and the kit in your cab for use in case of accident. We can serve your complete pharmaceutical needs. PHONE 775-7424 PARRISH DRUG CO. JACKSON. GA. Mrs. Nesbit Moss and Victor Brown (twins), J. H. Collins, Marion Gibson Loyd.

The Citizens and Southern Bank of Jackson MEMBER F.D.I.C. fat HOMEMAKERS Tested Tips To Help You Check Up On Your Refrigerator's Temperature There are two things you should check to be sure your refrigerator is performing as well as it should. Is your refrigerator main taining proper temperatures? 5- —— If the milk is very cold, then the refrigerator section should be about right. If the ice cream is good and firm, the freezer’s set about right. But don’t check just one spot; move the milk and ice cream around and see if the same degree is consistent in other areas of your refriger ator or freezer. Whirlpool home economists advise that the refrigerator section should be no warmer than 40°F., and the freezer per forms best at O°F. By maintaining these proper temperatures, foods can keen better and longer. Most refrigerators have ad justable coldness settings, so if you find that your refriger ator is not as cold as you’d like, check your owner’s manual about how to make it colder. y Pleading Ignorance A man charged with theft showed up in court without an attorney. “Do you want me to assign you an attor ney?’’ the judge asked. “No.” replied the defendant. “If it’s alright with you, I'd like to throw myself upon the ignorance of the court.” ruth at random By Ruth Bryant FOR PROGRESS-ARGUS A poem for Progress-Argus () what a thrill to write it!
