However, you will learn later that they were all for your own good. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today, take care not to allow b conflict of purpose to develop in a valued relationship. Exchange points of view so you'll better understand one another. Trying to patch up a romance? The Matchmaker set can help you understand what it might take to make the relationship work. To get yours, mail $2 to Astro-Graph. Box 489. Radio City Station. New York. NY 10019. VIRGO (Aug. 23-S«pt. 22) To avoid future problems, carefully read any docu­ ments to which you have to affix your sig­ nature today. Look4or hidden clauses. LIBRA (Sapt. 23-Oct. 23) Analyse your social interests today to see if they have to be modified. Be sure none are more of a liability than a fun pursuit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You could look bad 4n the eyes of others today if you get involved in a debate with a friend over an issue he or she knows more about than you do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dac. 21) Move cautiously in joint ventures today if your counterpart has the greater control. Don't let him or her obligate you to something without-discussing it first. CAPRICORN (Dac. 22-Jan. 19) Rely more on yourself today and less on others, especially in commercial matters. The cooperation for which you're hoping may be denied you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Fab. 19) Strive to be productive today, but also be sensible about the projects you undertake. Don't tackle tasks where you lack expertise. PISCES (Fab. 20-March 20) Today you must learn to say no and mean it. A-dom­ ineering friend might get you to promise to do something for • him or her that doesn't serve your best interests. ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be extra patient and compassionate today toward one with whom you're emotionally involved. He or she needs your aid to overcome a secret hurt. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Where domestic issues are concerned today, neither you nor your mate are apt to be too tolerant with one another. Don't con­ tribute to discord. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It's not wise at this time to try to dodge specific obliga­ tions that require your attention. Bite the bullet and erase them from the slate. CANCER (Juno 21-July 22) Try not to spend money on merchandise today unless you are absolutely positive it's the very best buy" you can make for your dollar. Shop and compare. HEALTH B y D r . L a w r e n c e E . L a m f c , M . D . , N e w s A m e r i c a S e r v i c e How you exercise does count DEAR DR. LAMB: You made a statement, to help lose weight "take a walk after you eat." I have heard that exercise after you eat is hard on your heart, as blood goes to the stomach. Is this only for heart patients? Recently my nephew played basket­ ball about a half hour after eating. He had some chest pain and died 30 minutes later. He had no history of heart problems, was 45 years old and in good physical shape. I would ap­ preciate your comments on this. DEAR READER: I am sorry to hear of your nephew's death. There are a number of reports of people who do have heart attacks or drop dead during exercise. But thaL. doesn't mean that exercise is bad for you, even after eating. It does mean that it makes a difference how you exercise. There is a vast difference between walking and playing basketball. Almost all the deaths that have oc­ curred during or after exercise occur when the person overdoes it. The typical example is the man who tries to run a mile faster than he has before. Notice I said man, as men are more apt to overdo it and exceed the limits of their hearts. Yes, there is a requirement for more blood flow to I eating. That, And other factors, is why some people who have heart disease do have angina heart pain only from the combination of eating and exercise. But these are people who have symp­ tomatic heart disease. Coronary artery disease is often a silent disease, and a person may have no symptoms and appear healthy until suddenly a heart-attack strikes or he drops dead. Your nephew's story is not unusual. That is why it is important to exercise sensibly, particularly after you pass 40, but you definitely should still exercise. The point is how. I have discussed this recurring pro­ blem in The Health Letter 13-4, "A Perspective on Jogging Deaths," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. Remember that some poeple die from heart attacks while asleep, but that doesn't mean people should not sleep. The best approach is modera­ tion, along with control of risk factors such as cigarette smoking and obesity. DEAR DR. LAMB: Please give me CROSSWORD your views on milk for young children. The pediatrician for my two grandsons recommends very little milk. I am con­ cerned about their teeth and bones. The oldest one is 4 and he has quite a few capped or bonded teeth. He was given all the Juices he wanted, apple juice and canned Juices. These children were breast-fed the first six months, then formula until one year, then limited amounts of low-fat milk, not more than 16 ounces. I believe all the sweet juices caused the tooth decay, and I believe they need the calcium. Please advise. DEAR READER: Regardless of its source, children ages l to 10 should get at least 800 mg of calcium a day. That is the recommendation of the National Academy of Sciences. The 800 mg figure is the recommended daily dietary allowance (RDA) for that age group. Actually, 16 ounces of skim milk, if that is really what you mean, contains about 1,400 mg of calcium, since it is fortified with nonfat milk solids. And milk is the best source of calcium in our diet. You are right: During those growing years calcium is very impor­ tant for skeletal development as well as for the teeth.

BRE -THey'ffe PRf A. / vVfaEy FjGHliNG- CMeRyCx)?/ COHPFfalNGr- NoT&S Why did South bid four no-trump after North had signed off at three no-trump? The answer is that three no-trump was not really a sign-off bid. Had North been interested in stopping at game, three no-trump would have been his immediate bid after South's jump to two no-trump. Instead. North first showed club support, implying values for slam. Finally, if there had been a partner­ ship mix-up. North could have passed four no-trump. When he showed one ace. South bid the slam and hoped fcjr the best. .. v. Very quickly declarer was down one. The jack of spades was covered by the queen, king and ace. The dub finesse was tried and tost, ahd back came a spade, setting the contract. Later declarer lamented: "Not mv lucky day. If the club king had been onside, I'd have made an overtrick." South should have been lamenting his lack of foresight. In the small slam, after the opening lead, the loca­ tion of the club king is immaterial to the success of the contract. Declarer should play a club to the ace and take the heart finesse. If East holds the king, the third round of hearts will dispose of dummy's losing small spade. Only then need the second round of clubs be played. Why is it that North could have itea ms hand, showing with 18-20 high-card points. If North felt slam was pot likely, be should have passed four no-trump. Since North in fact liked the chance for slam, he was right to answer accs.
