/itamin can cause harm
Jy Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Per
nit me to ask about hair loss
rom too much vitamin A. Is it
•regressive or should the hair
eturn when the vitamin A is
topped 9 Could this be the
eason for the progressive
air loss in our son's case 9 He
vas given massive doses of
itamin A for acne in his high
chool years and about then he
tarted losing his hair. Our
amily is a hairy bunch for
enerations back to the
(evolutionary War so this is
ot inherited.
Time goes on and year after
ear he keeps losing his hair,
fe is a happy person and looks
ine despite his baldness but
is sons are approaching the
cne age and if vitamin A is
he culprit we should know. Is
hat type of hair loss perma
ent and progressive?
DEAR READER — As soon
s the vitamin A is stopped
he trend should start rever
ing itself and eventually stop,
f your grandsons develop
cne they should not be
reated with vitamin A cap
ules or pills as that does no
ood at all.
Vitamin A acid is used on
he surface of the skin to en
ourage skin peeling and im
rove the skin but this is not
le same thing as vitamin A
nd must be prescribed by a
hysician.
Vitamin A was once thought
o be useful in treating acne
ut we know now that it
oesn’t help at all. I am anx
>us that young people realize
lis so they will not pop large
mounts of vitamin A on their
wn. Such a practice is not
nly useless but it can be
armful.
I am sending you the Health
.etter number 8-2, Acne Can
le Treated, so it will be
vailable for your grandsons
Ithers who want this informa
ion can send 50 cents with a
ang, stamped, self-addressed
nvelope for it to P.O. Box
551, Radio City Station, New
fork, N.Y., 10019.

POLLY’S PROBLEM
DEAR POLLY — Wet glasses left water marks on the
maple top on my table. I would like some suggestions to
remove them, so I do not have to refinish the table.
-MRS. J.H.W.
DEAR MRS. J.H.W. — For years I have been remov
ing such rings by dipping a cloth in a paste made with
butter and cold cigarette ashes. Rub with the grain of
the wood, remove with a damp cloth when spot has dis
appeared and rewax or polish as usual. The deeper the
ring, the harder one must rub. — POLLY.
DEAR POLLY — My Pet Peeve is with the present size of
sheets. I do not like fitted sheets and the flat is inches shorter
than previously. There is barely enough to tuck under the mat
tress.
Those who tint their hair and have no plastic protector such
as they use in beauty parlors can use a large plastic garbage
bag as it works just as well. —MARIE.
DEAR POLLY — To make her cloudy glass tumblers shine,
my mother used to fill each one half full of cut up newspaper
and then add enough warm water to fill the glass. Shake and if
necesssary repeat and the find the results surprising. —BEA.
DEAR POLLY — I keep a container of those pre-moistened
towelettes by the chair I sit in while knitting or doing em
broidery work. That way I wipe my hands before starting any
so I am always sure they are clean. —JOYCE.
DEAR POLLY —"Why lug a vacuum cleaner all around
when an empty, clean and dry detergent bottle will do just as
well? Prior to painting those inside and outside windows,
clean dust out of the comers by squeezing such a bottle. The
air will brush away dust particles and you are ready to paint
on varnish. —MRS. E.K.
Polly will send you one of her signed thank-you newspaper
coupon clippers if she uses your favorite Pointer, Peeve or
Problem in her column. Write POLLY’S POINTERS in care of
this newspaper.

(Q* (\ "" ~

DEAR DR. LAMB - My
family got tired of going to the
store and buying the same
blah, tasteless cereals. So now
we have reverted to the grain
bin, using hard wheat, Drum
wheat, rye, millet, flax,
soybeans and corn. We wash
and clean the grains and store
them in jars till we are ready
to use them. Then we run the
amount of grain we need
through a mill to make either
flour or cereal.
Cereals are sweetened with
honey and a little molasses.
Breads are made using one
part home grains and two
parts store bought flour.
Is this a good healthy diet
for us? What do you think of
using natural grains? We have
just about given up those flat
tasteless cereals since we
have been enjoying whole
grain cereals.
DEAR READER - The
natural grains are just fine
and they provide a good
amount of bulk that you may
also need. If you like the taste,
from a nutrition point of view
there is no reason why you
should not use them.
I would add only one cau
tion. Be sure the grains you
use are for food purposes and
not for seeds. Some seed
grains have been treated with
chemicals, pesticides and the
like. If you happen to use seed
grains for food you could
fatally poison yourself. So
always be sure what kind of
whole grain you are buying.
The grains you mention
belong to one of the four basic
food groups, cereals and
bread. You still need a proper
amount of the fruit and
vegetable group, the milk and
dairy products group and the
meat group for a good balanc
ed diet.
