Guide To Good Shopping a

i Think of *11 the time you apent in picking out the proper upholstery.
You chose patterns and colors that appeal to you. Are they still as
appealing? Chances are they are not because dirt and grime have
done their dirty work. To bring back the original lustre and vitality
is not difficult these days. ♦—. .. ~ 1 -
* All that's necessary is a clean
ing with a deep, penetrating li
quid cleaner such as Easy Gla
mur. A liquid cleaner actually
penetrates to the base of the fab
ric and thoroughly removes most
common Stains and hair oil.
That’s why it does the job so well.
Children are much happier in a
house where a liquid cleaner is
readily available to remove acci
dental spots and spills such as
milk, ice cream, alcoholic bever
ages, soft drinks, soups, soot and
•moke as well as pet stains. For
added protection, Easy Glamur
contains an exclusive dirt-resist
ant agent which guards against
grime and dirt after it cleans. It
Is equally effective on upholste
ries of all kinds including 'gath
er, vinyl and nylon.
^ Incidentally, an entire room of
upholstered furniture and rugs
'can be cleaned in one hour with
out removing s single piece of
furniture from the room. Easy
Glamur is so easy to use and
completely safe — non-inflamma
ble, non-toxic; gives off no fumes,
no odor; leaves no ring marks
and is fast drying. «
It does not bleach but actually
brings back original colors.

Traffic Court Program
Backed by Club Women
By Jeanne Smith, Dodge Safety Conaultant
> BY VISITING THK NATION’S TRAFFIC COURTS aa spectators
—not speeders, thousand* of club women are helping to prove that
our American judicial system ia a vital key to greater highway
safety.
"Go to court as a visitor—not a violator" is the theme of this
unique program, jointly developed
by the American Bar Aaaociation
ami tw. Auto

Foundation.
Since the fair

a mighty big

ty project*,
10,000 women’*
group*, am i- *
ate# of th* Mlaa Smith
General Federation of Women'a
Club*, have been eommlaaioned to
assist in thia important project.
Briefly, here’a how the "vial
tor-violator" program work*: it
begin* by aeeuring th# coopera
tion »f the local traffic conit

fltla out a check Hat which la
uaed for later analysis by th#
Americas Bar Association.
Where improvement* are indi
cated, the women and lawyer* •
work with civic leaders to raise
courtroom standard*.
According to David F. Maxwell,
president of th* liar Association,
appearing before traffic court aa
a violator can make or break th*
individual citixen’s respect for
law* that govern hi* conduct be
hind th# wheel.
"A well administered court
serves as a preventive of traffU
accidents. The driver who leave*
the court with respect is lea*
likely to take chances with th*
law and become a chronic vio
lator or an accident repeater,
"Moat Judges,’* Maxwell con
tinues, "welcome public interest
in the condition* of their court*.
Many have inherited ftom their
predecessor* th* physical sur

nnd legal structure*. They need
the support of their communities

And If it’* up to elvie-mtnded

Medical Milestones
I Should You Toko A Tronquillxor?
f In recent months there has been considerable excitement about the
tranquilizing drugs. Most medical men agree that these agents are
of value in treating mentally and emotiona ly disturbed people, but
they also warn that they should not be used indiscriminately
The use of drugs for treating the mentally ill is not a new concept,
although only since the develop- <
ment of the tranquilizing drugs
has this form of therapy gained
wide usage. Previously the most
widely used drugs for this pur
pose were the barbiturates and
bromides, which are actually de
pressants and not ideal. The dif
ficulty is they tend to keep the
patient in a profound state of
sedation that often renders him
helpless.
The tranquilizers, on the other
hand, tend to lessen fears and
anxieties that bother the patient,
bringing him to a more calm
state, without clouding the con
sciousness. The patient in this
state is far more receptive to
other therapy necessary for ef
fecting a cure. Medical science,
however, still has a lot to learn
about tranquilizers—exactly how
they work and on what part of
the brain.
The tranquilizing drugs have
fallen into two widely accepted
classifications: 1) those more ef
fective in major psychiatric dis
orders for which tne patient is
usually institutionalized, and 2)
.those useful mainly in neuroses
iand minor functional disturban
ces. such as everyday tensions
ana anxieties. The latter are
treated by a physician or psy
chiatrist while the patient con
tinues his normal activities.
Trilafon, a new and extremely
versatile tranquilizer, was recent
ly introduced by Senering Cor
poration. By varying the dosage
of this potent drug the doctor
can treat any degree of emotional
or mental disturbance, thus per
mitting use of one drug for the
full-range of therapeutic indica
tions. Schering warns, however,
that you should not take any
tranquilizer except on specina
orders of a doctor or psychiatrist.
Aside from the mental and
emotional conditions cited above,'
many doctors successfully use
tranquilizers in the treatment of.
epilepsy, alcoholism,mental prob- j'
lems of the aged, disturbed chili,
dren, surgical shock, nausea and ;
vomiting, heart disease, high
blood pressure, among other con
ditions. .. . , .\
Your doctor or psychiatrist
can determine by careful exam-;
ination whether you should ha(
taking a tranquilizer. Your prob-,
lem may best be remedied byj
other types of therapy. / _^
