Paint spatters
z' need fast work
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — Please tell me how to remove paint
that was spattered on a chair and table when the walls
were being painted. — THELMA.
DEAR THELMA — Paint spatters should be wiped up
as they fall, in as short a time as 10 or 15 minutes a ring
may form that is very hard to remove. Hereafter keep a
cloth dampened with water close by to wipe up latex
paint spatters and paint solvent on a cloth for oil base
paint. Probably the best you can do at this late date is to
try to soften the paint (try turpentine) and when soft
GENTLY scrape off paint spatters with a dull knife. The
finish on the chair and table may need some work after
the paint is removed. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — Even in the sweltering summer heat I am
wrapping Christmas gifts, or I might say half wrapping them
All year long when I hear someone express a desire or need for
something or I find an especially good bargain that I think
would please someone I buy it. I put it in a gift box and wrap in
newsprint paper gotten from our newspaper office at a
reasonable price. I find this paper has many uses. Each such
package is numbered and I also keep a very personal notebook
wherein (among other goodies) I write the number of the
package, the name of the person to whom it is to be given and
a brief coded (spelled backwards perhaps) or short hand
written note saying what is in it. These are stored in a cup
board. basement or garage until around the first of December
At that time we have a family gift wrapping party and
varieties of wrappings, bows, stickers, old greeting cards,
clippings of pictured clever gift wraps, etc., are all provided
All these boxes in newsprint are brought out and everyone
sees who can come up with the cleverest, prettiest or most
traditional looking wrapping. A small number is taped on each
gift and prizes are given for the best wrapping in each
category. All are placed under the tree and no one knows
whose gift he or she has wrapped Each day I add the proper
name tags to one or two of the gifts The family enjoys all of
this immensely and some real masterpieces emerge. This way
no one person is burdened with wrapping most of the gifts and
there is a family togetherness and tradition It makes Christ- '
mas spread through the entire year Hope others may enjoy
doing this, too — JOYCE.

S Diabetes and
blood pressure
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR LAMB - About
a year and a half ago my doc
tor said I had high blood
pressure and put me on
medicine. In a short time my
tests showed I was low on
potassium, and he put me on
potassium medicine and
gradually increased it
because my level was so low.
Then he did a glucose test
and said I’m a borderline
diabetic. If I understand what
I read, sometimes when there
is no diabetes in the family
and it shows up, it can be
caused by high blood pressure
medicine. Is this so?
If my blood pressure is
causing the problem why
can't they just give me other
medicines? I know there are
other medicines they can use.
Also I'm 52 and going
through the menopause. I’m
somewhat overweight and try
ing to lose, as I need surgery
for a bladder repair. I have a
fibroid tumor, so the doctor
won't give me hormones for
my hot flashes. He says it will
cause me to bleed badly. Is it
true that fibroid tumors
sometimes dry up after the
change in life? I have been to
two doctors, and one says sur
gery now. the other to wait un
til I get my weight down.
DEAR READER - I see
you are really having a time.
First, please make every ef
fort to lose weight as it may
help relieve your blood
pressure and high blood sugar
problems. Why don’t you try
my weight losing diet? It has
helped a lot of people to lose
weight. Send 50 cents for The
Health Letter number 4-7,
Weight Losing Diet. Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper, Radio City
Station, New York, NY 10019.
You are right, some high
blood pressure medicines will
cause the blood sugar to be
high. It is often stated,
though, that they merely un
mask an underlying diabetic,
but you are beginning to get on
theoretical ground there. The
same types of medicine can
and will cause the loss of
potassium. And I would tend
to agree that there are other
medicines that could be used
The medicine used to
eliminate salt and water that
causes these problems,
though,is very useful in com
bination with other medicines.
The combination usually
makes it possible to handle a
patient's problem without so
much risk of complications
from the medicines.
Another problem with
glucose tolerance tests is that
they will give a result similar
to that in a diabetic if the per
son has not been eating any
carbohydrates recently.
Unless the patient is properly
prepared for the test, it is of
limited usefulness.
Estrogen hormones do
enable fibroids to grow. If
they are just under the lining
of the uterus, hormones may
cause you to bleed. And, some
fibroids do shrink after the
menopause. In general people
do better during and after sur
gery if they have no weight
problems. Nevertheless when
it needs to be done surgery
can be done in really quite
heavy people. I suspect your
surgeon thinks he will get a
better result if he is able to
operate after you have lost
weight.
Meanwhile I would suggest
making every effort you can
to lose weight to try to get out
of this combined mess you are
confronted with.
