pork and pork products. Alcoholic
beverages also present Z dsngs,

The most soothing skin ap0lcs.
ton is corn-starch bath, made nv
stirring one-half to one pound NJ
soluble cornstarch into a tubAi
of water. Use of local application,
is required in some cases to auay
the itching.
Hives may appear suddenly and
disappear promptly, or they nav
last a long time. Fifty per cent Of
our population has had hives Al
least once. The chief complaints
are swelling and itching. Although
attacks are self-linited, they can
be disabling.
Hives vary in color from dead
white to yellow, pink, or red.
usually they are surrounded by a
red halo.
Hives may be either small Or
large. Giant hives affect the Inns
the skin about the eyes, and III.
chin, hands, feet, and tongue al.
though any part of the body NAV
be involved. Years may pass be.
tween attacks, or they may de.
velop at frequent intervals.
When giant hives form in the
organs, they can mimic any in.
ternal disease. The swellings are
larger, deeper. and of longer du.
ration than are those of common
hives.
Hives Of the larynx may sufto.
cate the patient unless adrenalin
is administered. Persons with
tendency to contract hives Of the
throat should be given adrenalin
at the first sign of difficulty in
breathing.
Serum sickness may follow the
injection of a serum usually that
of a horse) to which the patient
is susceptible. If small amounts
are used, or if the patient is de-
sensitized in advance, the reaction
can be controlled.
Hives which develop in serum
sickness are identical with those
stemming from other causes. Fa.
talities from serum sickness are
unknown, and complete recovery
is the rule.
Not all skin troubles which itch
and which look like hives actually
are hives. Insect bites, scabies,
and pediculosls can be confused
with them. Skin reactions produced
by contact with plants or by ner.
vousness often resembles hives, too.

DROWNED IN A COCKTAIL
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

OnOWNED IN A COCKTAIL
GLASS
Anybody whose orbit touches the
levels of prosperous people, or
society,"" must nave noted the
terrific increase in the cocktail
habit. It has become an American
usage, and a real problem, es-
pecially for young women. The
issue of strong drink is before the
world in new forms.
Self knowledge, self-rever-
ence, self-control,
These three lead life to sover-
eign powers"
Shall we restrain the weak from
strong drink, or shall we repair
their damaged lives after the
harm has been wrought?
What was perhaps the most
tragic automobile accident in his
tory happened this winter in the
West, when a school bus skidded
on an icy road into sixty feet of
waterfall because there was not
a protective wall along the road.
A wise old saying has it that it
is better to have a fence at the
top of cliff than an ambulance
at the bottom.
Total abstinence is the fence that
saves countless priceless lives.
Not everyone who drinks cock
tails goes on to over-indulgence in
stronger drinks; many do. The
surely safe are those who refrain
altogether from alcohol.
Deliver us, O Lord, we beseech
Thee, from all easy approaches to
intemperance. Teach us to save
our powers fer their highest use.
Amen

Designed to stimulate interest in
home economics and integrate high
school activities with organization
work, the Future Homemakers
movement evolved from plans
drawn by the American home eco
nomics association and the home
economics service of the U. S. of
fee of education in 1914. Within
few months, it was accepted by
the state departments of education
and vocational education and the
state home economics associations
of a majority of states, including
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Toward New Horizons
When the pupil delegates of the
Future Homemakers met in Chi
cago last summer they were fully
prepared for formal organization of
their club. Besides writing their
creed and constitution, they devel-
oped policies and procedures, drew
a work program for the year, de-
cided upon red and white for their
colors, the red rose for their flow
er, and an octagonal emblem. Fit
tingly, they chose Toward New
Horizons" for their motto.
National in scope, the Future
Homemakers are broken down into
regional districts, with state and 10
cal chapters.
Presently, Myrtle Hilton of Tip
tonville, Tenn, is president; Anita
Lehman of Baton Rouge, La, is
vice president; Emma 10 Lewis OF
De Land, Fla, is recreation chair
man; Joan Du Plessis of Swamps-
colt, Mass, is secretary; Barbara

USO WILL CONTINUE THROUGH l947 !

wNu Features.

THE USO will continue through
\ 1946 and until the last day in
l947, when it will complete its war;
time, rehabilitation and reconver-
sion services December 81, 1947.
Official announcement that USO
will conduct its own fund-raising
campaign next September and Octo-
Der with a goal to cover minimum
service requirements through 1947
was made by President Lindsey
F. Kimball at USO New York head
quarters.
USO came into being on Febru-
ary A, 1941, when six member agen-
cies Joined hands to create one or
ganization to care for the needs of
the men and women of the armed
forces. So far the American public
has contributed 200 million dollars
to the organization.
Still Needed, Says Ike.
In message to President Kimball,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower stated:
MAY I earnestly count on your
organization and your host of volun-
teers to stay with us through the
dangerous and difficult period Of
transition to final peace?
"We still have a pressing need
for the services of USO and will be
deeply grateful for your continued
help in the future as in the past"
Fleet Adm. Chester w. Nimitz,
chief of naval operations, also sent
a message of congratulation.
For Wounded Veterans.
The need for raising a terminal
fund in the fall of 1946 is due to the
fact that the National War fund
will finance USO only through 1916.
Tentative, purely tentative, plans
for 1947 call for the operation of
some $50 to 400 USO clubs in the
continental United States, largely in
connection with hospitalized but
convalescent veterans. Operation of
station lounges for troops-in-transit,
men on leave, and families of serv-
ice people must continue. Overseas
clubs will carry on in Alaska, Canal
zone, Hawaii, Philippines, etc.
Camp shows will still be seen and
heard in 1947 by men in hospitals
and men overseas.
Coincident with the announce
ment of the USO fall campaign,
President Kimball made public his
annual report, in which he says:
"USO finds that at its peak Of
activity, it was serving 100000
people day in one capacity or an
other, running up to more than 1,100,-
O0O,O00 the total served since the
organization was created.
3,035 Units at Peak. A7s
"The number of operations, such
as clubs, lounges and similar activi-
ties, reached high point back in
March of 1914, total of 3,035. AS
training camps closed and the men
went overseas this number declined
but the overall volume of work in
creased.
"The five-year peak of activity
and cost came after peace in Eu-
rope and before the surrender of
Japan. Redeployment of troops re-
opened many camps, doubled or
vastly increased loads of various
seaport cities. Expenditures
climbed to $5,800,000 month"
New Postwar Problems.
Referring to the future of USO,
Mr.. Kimban says in his report:
"The successful conclusion of the
war does not, cannot, and will not
return the United States to its pre-
war status. It is clear even
now that our armed forces in the
postwar period must be numbered
N the millions.
"USO will complete its wartime,
rehabilitation and reconversion
services December 81, 1947."
