Cat litter
* a sofa solution
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — I would like to know what would
remove the odor of cat urine from a cotton-nylon up
holstered sofa. I would appreciate hearing about anything
that might help. — MRS. C.G.D.
DEAR MRS. C.G.D. — I suggest that you spread cat
litter that has a deodorizer in it across the seat of the sofa
under the cushions and leave it for several days. Change to
fresh litter and repeat if need be. Cat lovers, do you have
any other ideas? — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I was interested in Sharon R's problem with
her youngster being annoyed by another one while in the checkout
line at the grocery and the other child's mother just laughing. If
Sharon had had the time she could have suggested that the
offender shake hands with her youngster. Surprises often settle a
troublesome situation; sometimes I have made a funny face,
whirled around, jumped up and down, started to sing a nursery
rhyme or counted the buttons on the offending youngster’s jacket
to stop such trouble. I am a sitter and I try to divert their minds
from such problems when possible. — MRS. E.W.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with those women who have
garage sales and then leave their signs up after the sales are
over This looks very tacky and is also misleading. So come on,
ladies, let us get those sad looking, out-dated signs down —
PEGGY
DEAR POLLY — Not too long ago S.M. wrote that she would
like to dye or spray paint her sofa and you discouraged her and
suggested slipcovers. 1 want to tell her that a few years ago we
dyed an aqua colored, heavy nylon sofa dark green by applying
that popular commercial dye for clothes that comes in liquid
form in a bottle. Dilute according to directions and apply with a
small scrub brush or possibly a man’s hair brush with a handle.
Wear rubber gloves and work out of doors if possible so the sofa
will dry faster. Our results were beautiful and lasting —

DEAR POLLY — When baking a fruit pie, place a cookie sheet
under the pie pan before putting it in the oven. If the pie should
run over there will be no messy oven to clean.
Cotton work gloves kept near the home freezer are great to slip
on when you are going to rearrange your frozen foods; they will
keep your hands from getting so chilled.
When dyeing a garment I also dye an extra piece of the same
material if I have it so it is ready for any future patching or alter
ing. A length of white thread can be dipped in also to have
matching thread for mending. — LORENE.
DEAR POLLY — I clean all my candles with cleaning fluid on
a clean cloth. This removes all yellow film. — MRS. B.Z.F

S. -t-J| Hormones need
careful use
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Your
answer to the woman who has
been suffering from hot flashes
for 15 years totally ignored her
question! Although she has
moved to a new comrhunity and
should get a family doctor, her
real concerns are her low
energy and hot flashes.
I am curious why you did not
tell her to go to a gynecologist
who would put her on hormone
therapy. Surely that is a
widespread enough practice by
now, even if some doctors are
still against it.
I get so angry with physicians
who, because they are males
and do not experience
menopause, dismiss it without
a thought! Hot flashes are real
and very uncomfortable. I am a
25-year-old woman who had both
ovaries removed, and I take
Premarin daily. I can always
tell when I’ve forgotten to take
my hormone pills.
I suppose you’d say that hor
mones are warranted in my
case because of my age. I would
say they are warranted in hers
also. I especially empathize
with that poor woman because I
also happen to have low blood
pressure and low energy. Dur
ing the summer, hot flashes and
low energy are no picnic. I
would like nothing better all
summer than to sit at the edge
of a swimming pool, sipping
mint juleps — or something
along those lines.
DEAR READER - If you
read my column regularly you
would know that I often recom
mend estrogen replacement for
those who need it and have no
medical problems that would be
made worse with these hor
mones.
Hot flashes are one of the
manifestations of the
menopause that can be greatly
benefited by giving estrogen.
By Roger Bollen
What you fail to recognize in
your rush to judgment is that
many of the symptoms you
think of as related to
menopause are also caused by a
number of other medical dis
orders. I don’t assume I know
the cause of every symptom a
person tells me about, but
happen to believe a good history
and examination may provide a
better basis for a decision
regarding treatment.
Depression, anxiety, thyroid
disorders and a host of other
problems are often in the mid
dle of the group of symptoms
labeled ‘‘menopause.” It is im
portant to know the problem
before treating it. The lady had
a number of problems and
deserved more than the super
ficial answer that hormones
were all she needed.
You may not realize also that
many women going through the
menopause do not have a
significant decrease in estrogen
levels. Giving more estrogen to
a woman who is already
producing a normal amount is a
questionable practice. An ex
amination will reveal which
woman needs hormones, as you
obviously did, yes, at your age.
I would suspect that the doctor
will be quite able to sort out
which symptoms belong to what
and what to do about it. Those
wanting more information on
the use of hormones and other
treatment for the menopause
can write to me in care of this
newspaper, P.O. Box 1551,
Radio City Station, New York,
NY 10019. Send 50 cents and a
long, stamped, self-addressed
envelope, and ask for The
Health Letter number 5-12,
Menopause.
I understand your faith in hor
mones because most young
women with your history do
need hormone replacement.
