I Polly’s Pointers
A vote for vinegar
as glue remover
By Polly Cramer
Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — I bought some towels, tablecloths,
etc. to embroider. They have labels stuck on them with I
some kind of glue that remains after I have labored with
removing the labels. I would like some ideas on how to
remove this remaining glue.
Also, I would like to know how to remove the creases
in double knits, polyesters and durable press garments
after they are lengthened — MRS. ME.
DEAR M.E. — Get out your vinegar bottle. It may
hold both your answers. After the labels are off your
pieces to be embroidered, immerse the glue stains in
hot vinegar at or near the boiling point and leave until
the glue stains disappear, which may take 15-20
minutes. Rinse well. Sometimes just soaking in warm
suds will do this. Then wash in fresh warm suds and
rinse.
I have had the best results (however this is not infalli
ble) removing such creases by wringing a pressing cloth
out of a strong vinegar-water solution. Lay wet cloth
over creases and rinse. Test effect on fabric first. —
POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with those can manufac
turers who use the so-called easy built-in can openers. 1
sometimes spend five minutes trying to open a can and then
have to use a can opener in the end. — MARIE B
DEAR POLLY — Desperate wrote that she could not rid her
refrigerator of a fish odor, so I would like to pass on my ex
perience. The refrigerator in a camping trailer we bought
smelled of rotten fish and nothing I tried worked. Finally
someone suggested that I try toothpaste Some fishermen use
it on their hands to remove the odor of fish. I put the paste on a
wet cloth and went over every inch of the inside of the
refrigerator. Then I left it on just long enough to dry and rins
ed it off with clear warm water. A miracle did happpen. The
odor was gone. I went over mine a second time but merely as a
precautionary measure. We have never had any more
problems with the odor. — E M M.

By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I had
an X ray a few weeks ago, and
it showed the effects of having
had spinal arthritis long ago,
but it also showed the sac
around the heart was covered
with a calcium deposit.
I have never heard of this
before and would like to know
what causes this. Is there
anything that can be done for
it in any way? If not, what will
it mean as far as health is con
cerned?
I have never had any trouble
with my heart, but do have
high blood pressure now and
then
I am over 80 years old and in
good health, take care of my
home, and do a lot of garden
ing Thanks for any informa
tion you can give me.
DEAR READER - The
heart is normally enclosed in
a membranous sac that looks
a lot like a clear plastic bag It
is called the pericardium,
meaning around the heart
Rarely part of this sac will
become calcified, usually un
der and behind the heart like a
great shell. In many cases it
follows inflammation of the
sac around the heart from a
disease of the lungs, from
pneumonia to tuberculosis, or
from inflammation of the
heart’s sac from unknown
causes, and sometimes even
from a virus infection
In some cases the calcifica
tion is so complete or
associated scarring of the sac
is so extensive that it con
stricts the heart. This will
limit the heart’s pumping
ability In these cases the sac
must be opened or removed to
free the heart.
In many other cases the
shell of calcium does not
restrict the heart in any way
and doesn't interfere with nor
mal heart function. I would
guess that is true in your case
i Dr. Lamb
I Heart covered
I with calcium
in view of your 80 years
without problems from this
finding. So, while you are
definitely unusual, I would
think you will get along just
fine, as you have in the past,
without the need for anything
to be done.
You can expect to find some
osteoarthritis of the spine,
even if you have no symptoms
when you get older. Almost
everyone gets osteoarthritis if
they live long enough. Studies
show that 97 per cent of people
over 60 years of age have X
ray evidence of this form of
arthritis.
That doesn't mean that it is
not important. It can be mild
and cause no symptoms, but
in other cases it can cause
joint deformities, pain and
limit the patient’s activity.
Those who want more infor
mation on this form of
arthritis can send in 50 cents
for The Health Letter,
number 4-11, Osteoarthritis:
Degenerative or Wear and
Tear Arthritis, with a long,
stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing. Just
send your request to me in
care of this newspaper, P.O.
Box 1551, Radio City Station,
New York, NY 10019.
There are things you can do
to help prevent osteoarthritis.
One of these is to prevent or
eliminate obesity. Remember
it is wear and tear arthritis,
and the more weight a joint
has to bear, the faster it will
wear. It is no accident that the
ancient dinosaurs had this
form of arthritis.
If you already have os
teoarthritis, it is important to
have a proper activity
program. You need to main
tain joint function while
limiting wear and tear. The
Health Letter will give you
important tips on this.
