Could mome IN WITH OS IJ \--r <%ur <Birthday Aug. 13,1985 Bonds will be re-established this coming year between you and someone with whom you were once close, but from whom you have since drifted apart. The relationship will now be more meaning­ ful and productive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Once you under­ take an assignment today, be tenacious and see it through to its conclusion. Do­ ing what you set out to do will give you pride of accomplishment. Major changes are ahead for Leos in the com­ ing year. Send for your Astro-Graph pre­ dictions today.

VIRQO (Aug. 23-Sapt. 22) Don't be re­ luctant to ask advice from those who are more experienced if you're hung up on a new project. They'll have the answers. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Rewards you are now earnestly striving for will be forthcoming. However, keep in mind you'll only be paid in proportion to your efforts. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-NOV.22) People with whom you'll be involved today will sense you mean business when you speak your mind. They're not apt to take liber­ ties or doubt your veracity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) When man­ aging others, don't be afraid to use a firm hand today if things look as though they are beginning to get out of control. HEALTH B y D r . L a w r e n c e E . L a m b , M . D . , N e w s A m e r i c a S e r v i c e AIDS causes lots of confusion DEAR DR. LAMB: I do not unders­ tand AIDS. I have heard it causes a fatal form of pneumonia. Then I have heard it is a fatal form of cancer of the skin. I have also heard you can get it from giving blood. Is that true? Is it Just a disease of gay men? If you have someone visit you who is gay and you don't know it, will you get AIDS from him? How can you protect yourself from this disease? DEAR READER: Judging from the letters I receive, many people are con­ fused about this disease. It has many facets and that is why you have heard so many different comments. In the first place, it is now known that it is a virus disease. It is most commonly transmitted by sexual ac­ tivity. The key is that you get infected if the virus gains access to your bloodstream. That is why there is a high incidence in gay men. The rectum is one of the most vascular parts of the body, and during sexual activity the area is easily injured, permitting the virus to gain easy access to the bloodstream. In a similar fashion, if a person is a drug user and uses needles that have been contaminated with the virus, that will enable the virus to gain easy ac­ cess to the circulation. That explains why there is a high rate in drug ad­ dicts. You cannot get AIDS from giving blood. A small number of cases have occurred in people who have received blood or blood products from in­ dividuals who have the AIDS virus. That is why there is now a big effort to protect the source of blood provided for blood banks. The AIDS virus attacks the immune system. The body loses its natural defense mechanisms and cannot de­ fend itself from a variety of diseases, one of which is Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and another, Kaposi's sar­ coma, the skin cancer you have heard about because it does affect skin areas dS well. I have discussed the immune system and AIDS in The Health Letter 25-8, 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. Sexual promiscuity, even in heterosexual people, can transmit AIDS, In Zaire, Africa, it. is equally common in men and women. That is probably where the disease started. But if you don't have sexual contact with an AIDS victim, don't use drugs and are not a rare victim of a con­ taminated blood product, you are most unlikely to ever get AIDS. DEAR DR. LAMB: You have cau­ tioned against too much vitamin D. How much is too much? I take six oyster-shell calcium with vitamin D tablets each day. Each one contains 125 mg of vitamin D. I eat a normal, well-balanced diet. I am concerned that I may be getting too much vitamin D.I'm 66 years old. DEAR READER: The effects of the long-term intake of excess vitamin D are not completely established. For that reason it is not wise to take several times the recommended daily dietary allowance (RDA). You will or should get an adequate amount of vitamin D in your food, such as milk. The RDA for adults is 10 micrograms (400IU). I believe it is unwise to take anymore than this as a supplement, considering your other resources of vitamin D in food, unless your physi­ cian recommends It. Even then it concerns me because of a variety of reports and some animal studies, such a recent one from Iowa State University, which showed that goats getting a high calcium diet and vitamin D supplements had an in­ crease in fatty-cholesterol deposits in their arteries. But calcium alone without the vitamin D decreased blood cholesterol (Journal of Nutrition, Volume 115, page 167,1985). CROSSWORD BARBS 5 V IM GfinWS CORED IWTH WEsnusuufE... "X c 3 I'M R£AD/ FOR THE.

Inc By James Jacoby Newspaper Enterprise Association Trumps or side suit? "The Fun Way to Advanced Bridge" is an entertaining book by teacher Harry Lampert. This week we'll look at some of his instructive deals. When you land in a trump contract, quite often you draw trumps first and then set up a side suit. When should you set up the side suit first. One question to ask yourself is: "Do I need trumps as an entry for the side-suit winners?" Declarer won the opening lead with his club ace and played the K-Q of spades. Although West still held a small tfump, South switched to the 10 of diamonds. East ducked his ace. Another diamond was played, now taken by the ace. Declarer ruffed the club return and got to dummy with the trump ace to shed his heart losers on the good diamonds. Worth noting: If declarer drew three rounds of trumps immediately, it would be a simple matter for East to shut out dummy's diamond winners by holding off one round. The initial play of the diamond four by West, his lowest, showed an odd number of cards in the suit, enabling East to hold up on his ace until the appropri­ ate time.
