PHARMACY
Q. Please explain the reasons for
the different ingredients in cough
and cold preparations.
A. Antihistamines,
(chlorpheniramine,
loratidime) are included to
relieve the allergy type
symptoms of sneezing, watery
eyes, and runny noses. Some
of these may cause drowsiness
and may not be present in
"daytime" preparations.
Expectorants (guaifenesin) are
used for coughs with phlegm,
(wet cough). They help to thin
and loosen the phlegm so that it can be cleared more
easily. Cough suppressants (dextromethurpham) are
used to quiet those dry, hacking coughs which may be
disturbing sleep or upsetting ones normal daily
functions.

Q. Do dishwashers
completely clean or should I
always rinse first?
A. Dishwashers and how
well they clean are affected
by a number of factors
including water softness,
water pressure, loading
technique, type of
detergent etc. The standard
rule of thumb is , scrape
the dishes very well, so
that no large debris is left,
and only rinse well if the
dishes will not be washed for a long period of
time, (ie2-3 days). Also , occasional flushing of
the dishwasher with vinegar can help extend the
washing life of you machine. For further
information on the subject feel free to call us, or
drop in.

Q. What can Ido to cut fuel
costs?
A. Air leakage can account for
20-30 percent of a home's heat
loss. By weatherstripping and
caulking, you should be able
to cut your fuel bill by up to
10 percent as well as eliminate
cold drafts. You should be
able to do most of the
weatherstripping and
caulking yourself. The tools
are basic: a caulking gun,
scissors, and screwdriver, the
skills required are simple. Here's were air leaks occur
• basement sill plates • windows and doors • exterio
wall electrical outlets • pipes and wires and vents

HORSE FEED SAFETY IN SUMMER
Q. Should I worry When I see
mold in my horses' sweet feed?
A. You should never feed
anything moldy or dusty to a
horse. It is difficult to keep
sweet feed cool and dry
enough in summer heat and
humidity - consider changm
to pellets for the summer. Take
10 days to gradually change
your horse over to pellets and
remember they weigh heavier
than sweet feed so your horse
',doesn't have to eat as much by
volume. MTS has the leading
horse feed for performance
horses, growing horses and
broodmares - PROFESSIONAL
HORSE MIX PELLETS. it is a high energy pellet at
14% protein to meet the needs of performance horses
for tissue repair, brood mares for milk production and
the extra energy and protein for youngsters under 4
years. Stable mix pellets are also available at 12% for
pleasure horses doing light work.

SOUND ADVICE
Q. Whet is a difference between Pro -
Logic and AC -.3 amplifiers?
A In a Pro -Logic amplifier, sound is
separated into 4 separate channels.
There are 2 front speakers, which
handle the bulk of the movie's
sound, a center channel, which sits
on the TV and helps to express the
movie's dialogue more clearly, and
there are two rear speakers which
operate in a mono channel to
provide the effect noises or to
provide transition of sound from the
front to the back of the sonic
landscape. In an AC -3 amplifier,
sound is separated into six
individual channels. There are still 2
front speakers, 1 center channel, and
2 rear channel speakers, however, in
AC -3, the 2 rear effect speakers are separated into their own
individual channels, as well as the addition of a separate subwoofer
cannel. Some Pro -Logic amplifiers have a subwoofer pre -out on
them, but it is NOT a separate channel, but merely a matrix mix of all
the channels. By adding these extra charnels, the surround
experience has superior imaging, uses the full 20Hz to 20 kHz with
more discreet sound placement than previous Pro -Logic models
using only 100 Hz to 7 kHz. Come visit us fora taste of AC -3, only
available from your audio -video specialists!

REGISTERED JEWELLERS
Q. is Platinum jewellery taking
over from white gold jewellery?
A: Platinum is on the rise.
More customers are asking for
platinum jewellery. It is an
"old" metal, but it is also a
"new" metal. And we all love
seeing and hearing about
new items. Platinum is a
special metal. it weighs 60%
more than gold. it takes 10
tons of ore and a 5 month
process to produce just 1
ounce of platinum it is
h;poallergenic and very
strong. it has a distinctive tone and platinum comes
out of the ground as a white metal that does not
tarnish. Japan is the no. 1 consumer of platinum
jewellery. Are they telling us something that we
should know:? Feel fee to ask about this "new" metal.

FINANCIAL CONSULTANT
Q. Education Funding?
A A 'quality mutual fund' may
be 'gifted' or held 'in trust' by
their parents for their
children's education. Although
this method is not eligible for a
tax deduction, a 'better rate of
return' is possible. When
gifted, the earnings on the
investment are taxable in the
hands of the child (could be
zero). However, the parent
loses control over this money.
When held 'in trust' Parents
maintain control over the
money with minimal tax implications. This has proven
to be an excellent method for parents saving for an
education. An actual client invested 89,000 (Jan.'89),
has since redeemed 811,000 and still has 58,000 left.
Mutual funds are sold by prospectus. Unit or share
value and investment return will fluctuate.

FUNERAL SERVICE
Q. What funeral services can be
selected if cremation is chosen?
A. Cremation does not limit the
funeral services that may be
chosen. The same options
available with earth burial are
available with cremation. Some
of these choices include: the type
of casket, the location of the
funeral service, the selection of
music, an open casket, and a
display of photographs, awards
or personal effects. Embalming is
not mandatory, however, some
circumstances may require it.
Discuss this issue with your
funeral director. just as you may
go to the cemetery for the earth burial, you may wish to go
in a procession to the crematorium and have a closing
ceremony there. Family members may be present at the
cremation depending on the crematorium's policy. If this
desired, contact your funeral director.

CHIROPRACTOR
Q. Can anyone go to a
chiropractor for care?
A. Yes. Chiropractors do
not discriminate on the
basis of gender or age and
are trained to see patients
from all age groups and
backgrounds including
children, students, athletes,
business people and
homemakers.
What are the nature of
complaints of a typical
patient seeking chiropractic
care? A recent survey of Canadian chiropractors
found that the typical chiropractic patient
complains of a headache of one type or another,
or pain in the middle or lower back, neck,
shoulder, arms or legs.
