Off the Editor's Chest (Continued from page 2) New York 20), and the Continen tal Oil Company (Continental Oil Bldg., Denver, Colorado). The Touraide maps put out by the atter are especially interesting n that they give brief descrip tions and pictures of the points ;f interest in the various sections :>f the country. The Automobile Association of America (National headquarters, Penn. Ave. at 17th St., Washington 6, D. C.) also gets ut a series of Tour Books for arious sections which are availble from local AAA clubs at $2 ach. It should be noted that hese maps are of pre-war origin nd there may in some cases be nportant changes in routes since hey were prepared. For F.astern -avelers, Esso Road News (Room 601, 21 West St., New York 6) ill resume publication this sumler of information about detours a specific routes and supply )tes on points of interest. Esso ouring Service (30 Rockefeller laz? New York 20) is prepared i. i individual routings and ipply maps to any point in the nited States or Canada. After the general line of direc tion of the trip has been laid out, decide whether to stop at hotels, tourist camps, or tourist homes. For a guide to hotels and some tourist homes, consult Lodging for a Night ($1.50, from Duncan Hines, P. 0. Box 548, Bowling Green, Kentucky). Free direc tories of motor courts are put out by United Motor Courts, Inc., (2728 Neptune Road, Houston, Texas) and Shell Touring Service (50 W. 50 St., New York 20). The AAA also puts out a Direc tory of Motor Courts and Cot tages. Keeping in mind the fact that all signs point to the fact that nearly every family whose car still runs with reasonable re liability will take a vacation trip this summer, it will be well to schedule stops on long journeys as far in advance as possible and make reservations, whether you plan to stay overnight in a hotel or in a motor court. Those who do not like to take potluck with restaurants will find Adventures in Good Eating ($1.50, also from Duncan Hines) helpful in locat ing the more desirable places to eat, although those whose taste runs to hearty fare will find Mr. Hines' taste a bit on the chicken and waffles and super-desserts side. Information about accommoda tions and facilities in the National Parks may be obtained from Na tional Park Service, Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. Have the family car thoroughly checked by a competent service station or garageman before start ing out. At best you must expect to spend a lot more for accommoda tions and food this year than in pre-war days; perhaps some can properly be charged off the family budget as necessary health in surance. The experts say that rest alone is not usually sufficient to overcome long-continued strain and fatigue. Often a complete change of scenery, new activity, and new environment are re quired.

All in all, the people who just didn't take to whole 1 wheat bread and refused to eat it regardless of its much touted virtues were the ones who were right, not those who assured one and all of the exceptional merits of the whole grain products. *** DERMATITIS OF THE FEET is not always what the layman calls "athlete's foot." Studies by two physicians and their colleagues reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association, February 2, 1946, indicated that out of 400 dermatologic patients 40 percent showed sensitization or irritation from the assortment of tinctures, lotions, salves, and powders used for treatment of "athlete's foot." Some 35 percent reacted unfavorably to one of the organic mercurials commonly used in such preparations. Other substances in medicaments causing difficulty were merthiolate, phenol (carbolic acid), and benzocaine. The researchers found that the average number of preparations that had been used by a patient was four, but in cases where the dermatitis was recurrent or of long duration, the number might run from ten to twenty, or even more. The conclusion to be drawn seems to be to let your feet alone, or consult a der matologist .
