Y N«wi Synd Inc DEAR ABBY: My mother always has something the matter with her. It’s either a “splitting headache," “dizzy spells" or eating something that didn't "agree" with her. She eats “pain killers” like you wouldn't believe. If the directions say to take two, she takes four. She buys every I kind she can get without a prescription. I’ve tried to tell her this is dangerous, but she won’t listen to me. She reads your column faithfully and thinks you know everything, so maybe you can straighten her out. I’m not exaggerating, and I'm not a child. I’m a 30-year old married woman who loves her mother and is worried sick about her. WITHHOLD MY NAME DEAR WITHHOLD: Tell your mother that Abby said a “pain” is Nature’s signal that something is wrong. And to kill the pain and ignore the warning instead of seeing a physician is not only foolish, it could be fatal. DEAR ABBY: I was invited to someone's home for din ner, and when I arrived, the stereo was blaring loudly. All during dinner and even afterward when we were talking, the stereo was turned up so high I could scarcely hear any thing else, and I had to practically shout to be heard. I Needless to say, I didn't enjoy the evening. In fact, when I left I had a headache. “* Don’t people realize how rude it is to have a stereo turned on so loud that it's impossible to carry on a normal conversation? I hope you print this. PAT FROM PARKLAND DEAR PAT: I'll print it for: those who aren’t aware that loud stereo music is often more irritating than enter taining, plus those who timidly tolerate it rather than ask their host (or hostess) to please turn it down—a reasonable request. w DEAR ABBY: What do you think of a grown man who kr cheats at cards, and when confronted, throws the cards up ki in the air, runs to his room and broods for the rest of the ge evening? it, Abby, this man has a Ph. D. in nuclear physics and holds c{ a $40,000 a year job. fl We have been playing bridge regularly for over three d( years. This past weekend when I caught him cheating, I confronted him and asked for a re-deal. He literally threw a tantrum. We're not speaking now as a result of all this. Should I have kept my mouth shut, or was I justified in letting him know I was on to his sleight-of hand trick? NAMELESS, PLEASE w DEAR NAMELESS: You should not have kept your mouth shut. But had you waited to tell him privately in al stead of humiliating him before the others, you could have a avoided an ugly scene.

A spokesman at the rest home said Sunday that Miss Quinlan’s condition “remains unchanged.” She is given in travenous nourishment and is “A number of senators who voted against it in 1975 have told me they are leaning to ward supporting it now,” said Miller. “I think it will pass the Sen ate, although there will be con siderable opposition.” There have been repeated ef forts to pass the measure in the Georgia Legislature since 1974.

That means, “We don’t know what he’s going to do,” Rabe said. rotated regularly to keep her from developing bedsores.
