Alfredo Garcia
On Attack Carrier
Alfredo Garcia, seaman
apprentice, USN, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Marcelo Garcia of
916 South Missouri, Mer-
cedes, is serving aboard the
attack aircraft carrier USS
Bon Homme Richard, oper-
ating in the Western Pacific
as ^ unit of the Seventh
Fleet.
The carrier left its home-
port of San Diego, Calif., on

About Your
HEALTH
Call them red bugs. Call
them harvest mites. Call
them chiggers. By whatever
name they mean sleepless
nights and ceaseless spasms
of itching misery.
This is their season. It
will last from now until cold
weather cuts into their
I ranks. A few people have an
apparent immunity to chig-
ger attacks, but the vast
majority of us are oh-so-
susceptible.
They — the chiggers —
have a special affinity for
low, damp places covered
with vegetation. Bermuda
grass harbors them well, but
for some unexplainable rea-
son they are not usually found
in carpet grass.
Just for the record, it's
the larvae which do the dam-
age, attaching themselves
with their mouthparts and
sucking blood until they be-
come engorged and fall off.
The fiery itching is caused
by an anti-coagulant mater-
ial they inject into their host.
Although adult chiggers —
large, red and velvety — are
probably harmless to hu-
mans, their wayward off-
spring can be serious as
well as annoying. Not that
they spread any specific
disease — at least not in
this country — but their
bites demand scratching
which frequently causes sec-
ondary infections in the form
of sores and boils.
To learn where chiggers
are harboring, stand a piece
of black cardboard on end
where you suspect their pre-
sence. If after a few mo-
ments you see tiny yellowish
or pinkish mites accumulat-
ing on the upper edge, you
know it’s time to check
your supply of insecticide.
Chiggers attack lizards,
snakes, birds, and rodents
with the same vigor and re-
sourcefulness they display in
attacking humans, no dis-
tinction is drawn between
man and lesser animal spe-
cies, which is hardly com-
plimentary to us Homo sap-
iens.
Light applications of sul-
phur dust on lawns and low
branches of shrubs have been
used successfully for years
to control chiggers. Nowa-
days, the new insecticides
such as chlorbdane and lin-
dane give better results. Just
follow the directions on the
label.
A quick word of caution:
Be sure to avoid unnecessary
exposure to the insecticide.
If you spill the concentrated
material on your skin, wash
it off immediately. And be
sure to keep children and
pets out of the yard until
the spray dries.

For tho first time science has found
a new healing substance with the as-
tonishing ability to shrink hemor-
rhoids And to relieve pain — without
surgery, In case after case, while
gently relieving pain, actual reduc-
tion (shrinkage) took place. Most
amazing of all — results were so thor-
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like “Piles have ceased to
be a problem!” The secret is a new

covery of a world-famous research
institute. This substance is now avail-
able in suppository or ointment form
called Preparation H®. At. all drug

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Mankind’s need for prayer
based on heartfelt gratitude
to God will be brought out at
Christian Science church
services Sunday.
Highlighting the Lesson-
Sermon on the subject of
Love” is the Golden Text
from the Bible (1 John 4):
“God is love; and he that
dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God, and God in him.”
A citation to be read from
“Science andHealth with Key
to the Scriptures” by Mary
Baker Eddy states (p. 4):
“What we most need is the
prayer of fervent desire for
growth in grace, expressed
in patience, meekness, love,
and good deeds.”
