Then they monitored the Japanesetransmissions.Two days later, they interceptedacodedmessagefromJapanreportingthat“AF”wasshortofdrinkingwater.WhentheJapanesedescendedonMidway,theAmericanforceswerereadyandwaiting.● When agents stormed the JapaneseembassyinPortugal,theyseizedaJapanesecodebook,thinkingitwouldbehelpfultotheAllies.What theydidn’tknowwas that theAllieshadalready broken the code.

● Lewis and Clark needed someone whowas familiar with the territory to help guidethemtothePacificcoast,andCharbonneauwasagoodmatch.Havinghiswifealongwasveryadvantageous for several reasons. First, shespoke Shoshone and served as an interpreter.Second, shewas familiarwith the country andhelpedmake crucial decisions regardingwhichroutetheyshouldtake.Finally,havingawomanand a baby along on the expedition convincedothertribesthatthegroupofmenwasapeacefulparty, and not a war party. ● There was one other reason why herpresencewasimportant.LewisandClarkknewthat they would need to abandon their boats in ordertocrossthemountainrangethatseparateswhat is now Montana and Idaho. In order to do that,theywouldneedtoprocurehorsesfromtheIndians.TheyhopedSacajaweacouldhelpthemnegotiateatradewhenthetimecame.● After months of grueling travel, theexplorersreachedtheheadoftheMissouririverinAugustof1805,andbeganlookingforIndianswhocouldprovidethemwithhorses.Sacajawearecognizedtheareatheywerein,asitwasveryclose to the place where she had been born. In an incredible stroke of luck, the first Indianscouting party theymetwas led by none otherthanSacajawea’sownbrother,whohadnotseenhersinceshehadbeenkidnappedyearsbefore.Itwas an emotional reunion, which was made much harderwhen her brotherwas forced to tell herthat their parents had died while she was away. Of course, Lewis and Clark and all their menweretreatedlikefamily,loadedwithprovisions,and sold all the horses they needed to make the difficultcrossing.● Sacajawea, Charbonneau, and JeanBaptist remainedwithLewis andClark for thedurationoftheirtwo-yearjourney,andeventuallyevenmovedtoSt.LouisattherequestofClark.Clark even adopted Jean Baptist as his own son, making sure theboy received thebest possibleeducation and ensuring he was given manyopportunities to travel the world. Jean Baptist diedattheageof61.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am 17 years old. I have pimples all over my face. The only thing that helped was an antibiotic, but it made me sensitive to sunlight. My parents don't want me to continue to use an antibiotic. Can you help? -- G.G.

ANSWER:Let's startwithacoupleofmistakesmadebymostpeoplewithacne.Don'tscrubyourfaceoranyplace where acne has broken out. Scrubbing causesirritationandworsensacne.UseamildsoaplikeDovewhen washing. Don't squeeze pimples, whiteheads orblackheads.Youforcebacteriaintoadjacentskin.Acne develops because of clogged pores throughwhich hairs grow and through which sebaceous (oil)glandsemptytheiroilonto theskin.Thefirstsignsoftrouble are whiteheads or blackheads. They indicatethat theporeisplugged.Deepinthepore,downfromtheblockage,theoilglandscontinuetosecreteoilandgreatly distend the pore, which can rupture.

withbenzoylperoxide.Thenextstepupisantibiotics.Increamsandlotions,theyaren'tabsorbedverymuch.Clindamycin and erythromycin are two such products. If no progress comes from skin-applied antibiotics,then oral antibiotics are the next step. Tetracycline,doxycycline and minocycline are examples. Yourparentsshouldreconsider theirbanontheiruse.Evenif they sensitize you to sunlight, simply stay out ofsunlightwhenusingthem.Theyworkedforyou.I haven't listed all acne medicines. Bad acne, likeyours, calls for treatment by the family doctor or adermatologist.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am writing on behalf of several neighbors who have started soaking golden raisins in gin. Each of them takes nine such raisins a day. They claim this was a method shown on television to remedy arthritis. Have you ever heard of this? Our curiosity is getting the best of us. -- E.G.

ANSWER:Ihaveheard thismany times.Noonehasproven it works. No reliable information suggests itmight work. I don't believe it's a legitimate arthritistreatment.However, if you like gin and like raisins, then thepractice isOK, so longasyoudon't gooverboardontakingintoomuchalcohol.Thebookletonarthritisdescribesthedifferentkindsofarthritis and their treatments.
