aids web removal

Polly’s Problem
DEAR POLLY — Could you help me solve a problem?
4 My house was used as a store room for six months,
while I visited relatives. When I returned I found a
number of spider webs that I cannot eliminate without
removing the furniture from the rooms. I live alone and
, am handicapped by arthritis of the spine so can you help
me solve my problem. — J.R.L.
DEAR MRS. J.R.L. — Perhaps a neighbor or relative
would push your furniture out from the wall enough to
clean the webs away. They must be removed from both
walls and the backs of furniture pieces. Brush down the
webs (perhaps using a broom with a cloth tied over it)
and be sure to crush any white egg cocoons. After webs
are removed, spray with a household insecticide. Do not
rub the spray while damp or it may leave spots. Even
though the just sprayed areas look spotted they usually
dry out satisfactorily. An exception might be when walls
are dirty, and the spray is heavy enough to run down the
soiled walls to make streaks. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — When our Irish setter had nine puppies I
could not find a box large enough to accommodate such a big
family." Suddenly I remembered the children's old mesh
playpen. It has a front that opens down, so this enables the
mother dog to get in and out easily. Pads could be made for
the bottom and lower sides so a wooden playpen could be used
1 the same way. — EILEEN.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with money orders that
have only two lines for writing one’s name and address. The
address should be at least three lines long. I have never seen
i this Peeve in the column. Keep up the good work with the
column — RUTH.
DEAR POLLY — Do tell Rachel that when our new
refrigerator was installed, the man removed the tape marks
1 on it with appliance wax and told me it was good for removing
any tape marks. Also some people take new tape and press it
over the old tape and when pulled off the old comes away with
the new. — ELEANOR.
i You will receive a dollar if Polly uses your favorite home
making idea, Pet Peeve, Polly's Problem or solution to a
problem. Write Polly in care of this newspaper.

B Dr. Lamb
Heart disease,
diet and family
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - I am
53 years old, 6-feet-2, and
weigh 148 pounds My daily
physical activity consists of
jogging a minimum of five
miles, averaging eight
minutes a mile, 30 push-ups
and 30 sit-ups. I’ve followed
this program for the past 11
years. I used to jog seven
miles but cut back to five due
to the time factor.
My resting pulse has gone
from the high 80s to an
average of 48 beats a minute.
I am writing about my diet,
which is the reason for the
background information. I
have one egg, bacon, toast,
coffee, 8 ounces of orange
juice and 11 ounces of whole
milk for breakfast.
For dinner I have meat,
vegetables, dessert of peanut
butter on graham crackers (I
average eating a pound of
peanut butter a week). At
night I eat one-half sandwich
plus more milk before going
to bed I average about one
and-a-half quarts of milk daily
(low fat or whole milk).
In view of my weight, do
you think I’m getting too
much saturated fat, or do you
have any suggestions about
my diet? Incidentally, my
family has a bad genetic
history of heart trouble.
DEAR READER - Your
diet is certainly not one I
would recommend to most
people, particularly middle
aged coronary prone
American males. But not
everyone has your level of ac
tivity or has been as
successful in avoiding obesity.
A large number of people with
high blood pressure and high
blood cholesterol and fats
have them because they are
overweight. In others this is
at least a strong, contributing
factor.
The important point is your
individual risk factors. What
is your blood pressure? I
presume it is low normal with
your weight, resting heart
rate and exercise level. Blood
Television
pressure is one of the three
major risk factors.
Do you smoke? I presume
you don’t and that makes you
three times better off than
those who smoke two packs a
day.
Finally, what is your own
cholesterol and triglyceride
(fats) level? If your cholestrol
level is low, I would not fuss
too much about your diet.
However, I think it is ab
solutely necessary that you
find out what it is in view of
your statement of a bad fami
ly history of heart disease.
If your cholesterol level is
high, then despite your exer
cise program, you should
make some changes. If you
followed the recommen
dations of the Inter-Society
Commission for Heart
Disease Resources, an impor
tant national study group, you
would limit your cholesterol
intake to 300 milligrams a day
and that would mean few if
any egg yolks if you get your
needed quantity of meat, fish
and poultry. You would need
to switch to just low fat milk
(two per cent fat and 30 per
cent of its calories are fat
with half of these of the
saturated fat type) or skim
milk.
Over 70 per cent of the
calories in peanut butter are
fat, 13 per cent of the calories
are saturated fat.
The rules to control fat and
cholesterol intake can be in
dividualized if you are
thoroughly tested and the
results are favorable as long
as you stay that way. For
more information on diet prin
ciples to prevent heart and
vascular disease send 50 cents
for The Health Letter,
Number 1-3, Diet Preventing
Atherosclerosis. Enclose a
long, stamped, self-addressed
envelope for mailing. Address
your letter to me in care of
this newspaper, P. 0., Box
1551, Radio City Station, New
York, NY 10019.
