Stubborn scrubbing
rI V scours fireplace
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — We have used our brick fireplace for
thirteen years, now the outside blonde bricks need
cleaning. A professional wants fifty dollars to do this
with an acid so I wondered if there was something we
could use to clean it ourselves — JO ANN
DEAR JO ANN — One authority suggests removing
smoke stains from brick fireplaces by scrubbing with a
stiff brush and a strong solution of tri-sodium
phosphate. Rinse well. More stubborn stains may take
steel wool and scouring powder or a mechanic's soap
with sand in it. Also rinse off thoroughly. Test a small
place before proceeding. — POLLY.
DEAR READERS — Thank you for the many many direc
tions you sent for Mrs. W.H. who wants to crochet a book
mark in the shape of a cross. Especially thanks to those who
included beautiful samples. The following two letters tell how
to make particularly lovely ones. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — I have made quite a number of cross book
marks for giftsandam passing my directions on to Mrs W. H 1

Dr. Lamb
Lean body
means good health
By E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I need
information for us less for
tunate folks who suffer from
reverse obesity. We are not
famine victims, yet have as
hearty an appetite as our
obese counterparts.
Nonetheless, we would sell
our souls for the excess our
stout friends want to shed. We
seem to never gain — no
matter what and how much
we eat.
What advice have you for an
average, young male, 25 years
old, 6 foot, 1 inch and tipping
the scales at 145 pounds soak
ing wet? Note, a recent
physical rules out any abnor
malities.
DEAR READER - Count
your blessings and pray that it
lasts. I get buckets of mail
from people concerned with
losing weight, and a smaller
but consistent amount from
people like yourself. As 1 have
mentioned before, the answer
is not in taking in a huge
number of calories and trying
to hang rolls of fat on a lean
frame. You don’t want a pot of
fat and a spare tire and a bub
ble bottom, and that is about
what you will get from that ef
fort. Also, such a program
would greatly increase your
chances of high blood
pressure, diabetes, heart and
vascular disease. The simple
truth is that you have a much
better chance for continued
good health, as long as you re
tain your present leannesss,
than your obese counterparts.
So, you are unhappy with
how you look. What you really
want is to develop some
muscles which is not all bad
To do that you need a good
strength training program.
You are in a large enough
city to get some help on a
muscle building program
from a city health club or
from your YMCA.
There are some tricks to
building muscles the healthy
way. It doesn’t take so much
exercise either. If you do too
much exercise the wrong way
you will not grow muscles as
successfully as you could with
a better program. For details
on how to follow a sensible
muscle development program
send 50 cents for The Health
Letter number 5-4, Weight
Training for Energy and
Weight Control. This program
will also be helpful for people
who need to build muscles to
prevent obesity. Just send
your request to me in care of
this newspaper, P.O. Box 326.
San Antonio, Texas 78292.
Include a long, stamped, self
addressed envelope for mail
ing.
I have a few words of cau
tion about muscle building
programs. Do not listen to
recommendations about tak
ing in lots of extra protein.
Just eat a good diet each day
with about 100 grams of pro
tein. Do not listen to any un
sound suggestions to drink
half-and-half cream or to eat
foods containing lots of fat.
Do not listen to any advice
to avoid other forms of exer
cise that you enjoy except a
weight-training program. All
of those measures will add fat
inside your muscles and may
make your muscles look
bigger, but you can seriously
damage your health with such
efforts. What you want are
strong, lean muscles.
I can’t emphasize the points
about diet with weight train
ing too much. Young men are
susceptible to heart disease
even in their early 20s, and
consuming a fattening diet to
become fat-marbled beef is
very unwise.
Incidentally, many thin peo
ple thrive and gain weight
when they stop smoking if that
should be one of your habits.
Nicotine is a cellular poison,
and when the poison is remov
ed the cells grow better.
