Fraternally, BETTY AKAI Reporter YOUR HEALTH “Why are you scratching yourself?” the mother asked her child. “Because I’m the only one who knows where I itch!” was the honest reply. Itching, medically termed pruritus, can occur any place on the body. It is a common and annoying symptom that originates in the skin. The sensation of itching is perceived and conveyed by the receptors and pathways for pain. Most persons at some time have a desire to scratch. Obligate itching is the kind of itching which makes scratching seem necessary. There is itching due to high temperature and known as prickly heat, and there is also winter itch in old persons with dry skin in cold weather. Contact dermatitis caused by exposure to chemical or physical substances prompts compulsory scratching. Lousiness is a skin condition produced by lice as well as by bedbugs, chiggers, and fleas. Thére áré facultative itching disorders including diabetes, psoriasis, varicose veins and mechanical irritation. Pruritus often is the first symptom of diabetes, and between 20 and 25 per cent of jaundiced patients also complain of itching. The physician, in order to treat pruritus, must know the mechanisms and the conditions under which it appears. Itchy skin disorders can keep a person awake at night. Sedatives are useful in some cases while in severe instances, stronger drugs are used. For local application in mild forms of itching, there are a wide variety of remedies, indicating there is no universally satisfactory preparation for the control of itching. Relief may be obtained, but the cause needs to be removed to prevent recurrences. WHEN A WILLIAM PENN LIFE UNDERWRITER COMES What does a widow think about when a William Penn life underwriter comes and brings her the first check from her husband’s life insurance? Does she think about the dishwasher or the second car or some other luxury she had to go without so her husband could buy additional life insurance ? Does she think about the percentage of return that was realized from his investment in life insurance ? No, these things don’t concern a widow. She thinks only of how safe and protected — and loved — she is. And how wonderful it is that such a thing as life insurance exists to permit a husband to give his family his support even after his death. Call your William Penn man now for advice on how to improve your present insurance program. He will show you what is best for your personal and family insurance needs. Help The Red Cross Help Humanity Help Red Cross, and you help people . . . people across the street and people across the world. People always look to Red Cross as a source of care and comfort. In time of disaster, when floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, or earthquake strike, they look to Red Cross for food and clothing. During illness or surgery, they look to Red Cross to supply much-needed blood. In the far-flung forgotten places of the world, where disease runs rampant, people look to Red Cross to send life-giving medicines and vaccines and to supply trained personnel to help them help themselves. When a serviceman’s family fails to hear from him, they look to Red Cross to establish contact. When hospital walls shut out the world, the sick and the convalescent look to Red Cross trained volunteers to bring them comfort. In any time of serious need, people look to Red Cross! Now Red Cross looks to you! So remember! When you help — Red Cross can help. 10 Rules For getting People To Like You (Or How to Acquire the Fraternal Spirit!) 1. Learn to remember names. Inefficiency at this point indicate that your interest is not sufficiently outgoing. 2. Be a comfortable person so there is no strain in being with you. Be an old-shoe, old-hat kind of individual. 3. Acquire the quality of relaxed easy going so that things do not ruffle you. 4. Don’t be egotistical. Guard against the impression that you know it all. 5. Cultivate the quality of being interesting so people will get something of value from their association with you. 6. Study to get the “scratchy” elements out of you personality, even those of which you may be unconscious. 7. Sincerely attempt to heal, on an honest Christian basis, every misunderstanding you have had or now have. Drain off your grievances. 8. Practice liking people until you learn to do so genuinely. 9. Never miss an opportunity to say a word of congratulations upon anyone’s achievement, or express sympathy in sorrow or disappointment. 10. Give spiritual strength to people, and they will give genuine affection to you.
