IX HEALTH ■K/l Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. Quit smoking, added weight By Lawrence Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB—I would like your advice. I am 5 feet 5 and weigh 126 pounds. That sounds fine, but I gained eight pounds in four months which all went on my thighs and buttocks. The weight gain occurred because I stopped smoking 10 months ago. I had smoked 33 years, and am quite proud of myself as I stopped com pletely in one day and haven’t had the desire since but I want to eat constantly. A month ago, I started walking a mile a day and put myself on a diet, not a crash diet, but a sensible one of 1200 calories. In a month’s time, I put on a couple more pounds. A few days ago, I found out why. I thought that if a half grapefruit was good for you, grapefruit juice (unsweetened) would be even better, so everytime I thought about food, I would drink a big glass of orange or grapefruit juice. It never dawned on me to look up the calories in the orange and grapefruit juices. I’m afraid if I don’t get this weight off now, I will continue putting more and more on, so I need your help. DEAR READER—As you already know, an eight ounce glass of orange juice or grapefruit juice is about 90 calories. Assuming you drank six glasses a day, and you may have drunk more, that would be 540 calories a day. In a month, that would be about 16,200 calories—or, the number of calories found in four and-a-half pounds of body fat. So, if you only gained two pounds a month, you may have been doing well. I am sending you The Health Letter number 4-7, Weight Losing Diet, that you can use as a guide to your weight control program. Walk every day as that is a big help, and the more you can increase your walking, the better you will do. Others Er POLLY S POINTERS \W3P Polly Cramer ■ Corn starch gleans rug > ■ ■■ .... By Polly Cramer POLLY’S PROBLEM DEAR POLLY -1 have a small off-white sheepskin throw rug and wonder if anyone can tell me how to clean it. I tried a dry shampoo but it did not seem to help. - M.C. DEAR M.C.-I am presuming your rug is unclipped and has the fur on the skin. The best thing would be to take it to a dry cleaner. If that is not possible sprinkle corn-meal on it with a generous hand, leave a while and then take out of doors and shake out as much as possible and then brush out the remainder. I have cleaned fur pieces this way. Some people use dampened saw dust. I have heard, but never tried, that whiteness can be restored to white fur rugs by spraying with a solution of hydrogen peroxide and even hanging out in the sun afterwards. Perhaps some of the readers have more satisfactory ways that they will tell us about.- POLLY. DEAR POLLY - A rug sample will make an excellent mat to use on a desk or work table as a protection from scratches when a typewriter, portable sewing machine, etc., is used. - BEVERLY. DEAR POLLY-I use a good window cleaner to clean my eye glasses and find they are much easier to see through and really polish up better than anything else I have ever tried. My husband fixed an efficient way to keep clothespins. He cut a slit through the handle on an empty plastic distilled water jug so it could be slipped on to the clothesline. He then made the opening large enough so I could reach in to get clothespins out when needed. This not only protects the clothespins from stormy weather but makes it easier to hang and collect clothes as the container slides along the line as one moves to hang or take down clothes. No more excess clothespins hanging along the line. - TERRI. DEAR POLLY - I really get good use out of a pair of panty hose. When they can no longer be worn as usual I cut the tops off above the knees and use these panties under shorts or slacks. I cut the feet off above the ankles and use as footsies and the leg part between makes great ties for laundry bag, garbage bags or tieing up tomato plants. - MRS. E.M.M. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

Many people do have an urge to eat more when they stop smoking. My best tip is to drink a glass of water whenever you feel the urge, or go for a walk. The biggest reason why people gain weight after stopping smok ing is from substituting eat ing for smoking. And then the body thrives and uses food better because it is healthier after you quit poi soning your cells with nico tine. DEAR DR. LAMB—I had a liver biopsy, and the doc tor said I have a fatty liver. He didn’t give me any medi cation or tell me what to do to help the condition. I have often read that a fatty liver precedes cir rhosis of the liver. Is there anything I can do about it? I am not a drinking woman. I’m 72, and weigh 145.1 have had my gall bladder re moved 20 years ago, and had jaundice 40 years ago. DEAR READER—Your doctor didn’t recommend anything because he proba bly thought you were doing fine. Fatty deposits in the liver may occur from previ ous liver damage or from excessive alcohol consump tion, or even from eating too much fat and no carbohy drates, or in severe diabet ics. There are many causes for it. Yes, it can precede cir rhosis of the liver. But that is not always the case, either. You are wise not to use alcohol. The only other rec ommendation I would make would be to be sure that you get plenty of lean red meat in your diet, and your daily quota of B vitamins. Other wise, I would not be overly concerned about it. (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)
