once in a while to head off an
occasional hangover is
probably less dangerous than
using aspirin which could cause
severe stomach bleeding.
Of course, the best solution
would be to follow our original
advice and cut back on the
booze so there won’t be a

Q. — I just got back from a
disastrous vacation at the
shore. Since I have very fair
skin and burn1 easily I used a
suntanning lotion my doctor
recommended.
Instead of preventing a tan
the sunscreen caused a horrible
red rash all over my body.
When I used an anesthetic
spray to take away the pain the
rash only got worse.
What went wrong? How can I
keep this from happening
again?
A. — From your description it
sounds as if you are extremely
allergic to die ingredients in
your sunscreen. Although such
reactions- are relatively rare
some people do develop a nasty
rash after exposure to PABA
(para-aminobenzoic acid), a
chemical found in many sun
blocking lotions.
Chances are good that you are
also highly sensitive to ben-
zocaine, an ingredient included ^ , -T_

By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Vacations can be costly, but a
little planning ahead can save
you money on your home
electric bill while you’re away.
Your electric bill won’t
automatically take a big dip
just because you’re not home,
because many major energy
users — air conditioner, water
heater, refrigerator and freezer
— may still be running.
If you have an electric water
heater, turn off the circuit
breaker or take out the fuse
before going away, suggests a
spokesman for one of the
nation’s major power com-
panies.
He also suggested turning the
air conditioner off, or at least
setting it at 85 degrees to reduce
its running when no one is
home.
If you’re cleaning your
refrigerator, consider taking
out perishable items and tur-
ning it off, he added. Leave the
door open to prevent mold.
When you can, he said,
unplug appliances not
being used, particularly
television sets and stereos, as a
safeguard against damage in
case lightning strikes while
you’re away.
