Negative situations and people will b^ replaced by favorable conditions and friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A negative at­ titude today will do you in before you even get started. If self-doubts arise, re­ place them with positive thoughts. Know where to look for romance and you'll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker set instantly reveals which signs are ro­ mantically perfect for you. Mail $2 to As- tro-Graph, c/o this newspaper, Box 1846, Cincinnati, OH 45201 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Be carefutlo- day not to waste funds earmarked for essentials on frivolous things. Yop can have a good time without robbing Peter to pay Paul. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-NOV.22) Guard against tendencies today to make what should be easy into something difficult. Don't be thwarted by obstacles of your own making. 8AQITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Usual­ ly your hunches are pretty good, but this may not be the case today. Should you have to make a choice between logic and intuition, choose the former. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today, a well-meaning friend might try to let you in on a deal that he has greatly mis­ judged. To find out the true value, it's best to get a second opinion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You're not apt to make wise decisions today if you feel pressured. Don't let anyone put your back to the wall. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Use tested procedures and familiar tools when per­ forming tasks today. Experimenting with labor-saving methods could end up cre­ ating more work. ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will be defeating your purpose today if you are too possessive of one you love. The harder you grasp, the harder he or she will try to pull away. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make it a point to be supportive of your mate in front of other family members or rela­ tives today. Later you can privately rec­ oncile your differences. * GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Unless you {have something complimentary to say ^about others today, it's best you say nothfhg at all. Caustic remarks will invite retaliation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Financial dealings will be your most sensitive area today. If you waste your resources, you're going to end up with a pain in your pocketbook. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Sometimes you can bluff our way through sticky situa­ tions, but these tactics won't work to­ day. You'd better have the aces if you in­ tend to call the pot. HEALTH B y D r . L a w r e n c e E . L a m b , M . D . , N e w s p a p e r E n t e r p r i s e A s s o c i a t i o n Some help for good hair care By Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a 22-year- old woman. When I was a child I had very long hair, below my waist. At about 12 I cut it all off and have been trying to grow it back ever since. My problem is it will only grow to a length between my shoulder blades and then it seems to dry out, split and break off. I only wash it every other day or so with mild shampoo and conditioner. Could it have something to do with diet? I eat a balanced diet: eggs, milk, meat (usually deer, elk, antelope, duck, chicken or beef), salads and vegetables. Is the old wives' tale about brushing your hair 100 times really good for your hair? What kind of brushes OK. combs are best for long hair? Is it good to cut off an inch every month or so? DEAR READER: The most likely reason your hair does not grow any longer is your genes. Each hair follicle has its own genes. The hair shaft is in­ ert or dead cells, mostly keratin. That is why it doesn't hurt you when it is cut. Think of it like the ends of your finger­ nails. Each hair follicle has a growing and resting season. When the resting season comes tTie hair shaft loosens and falls out. If the growing season is short it won't allow much time to grow a long hair shaft. Remember all the growth is at the live end, inside the follicle. A good diet is important to how your hair looks. Women who are on low- calorie diets often lose their hair. It grows back when they return to sensi­ ble eating. If you are getting enough calories and adequate, complete pro­ tein, that is not likely the problem. What you do to your hair will affect how soon the hair shaft falls. That is why hajr care can cause hair loss. I have discussed this in more detail in a recent Special Report 49 of The Health Letter, "About Your Hair," 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. Cutting the ends of your hair only removes split or damaged ends. Again, it is like cutting off the tips of your fingernails. If you cut it too often, ob­ viously, it won't grow as long. Brushing getfe mixed reviews and it is of no value in stimulating growth. It can be harmful. Handle your hair gent­ ly and don't use any style or procedure that pulls on it. Washing your hair fre­ quently with mild shampoos will not cause hair loss. DEAR DR. LAMB: My hair has started turning gray at a rapid pace. I'm 47 and am not aware of any unusual changes in my lifestyle or eating habits. It is my understanding that the lack of color that causes gray hair is from a lack of iodine. Is that correct? If so, can a person expect to maintain the natural color by taking iodine, vitamins %ith iodine or eating certain foods? . DEAR READER: No. Iodine has nothing to do with the color of your hair. And I would strongly recommend against taking iodine preparations ex­ cept for medical conditions, and then only under the supervision of your physician. The color of hair is dependent upon melanin pigment, just as the color of your skin is. The variations in pigment give hair its highlights. Since the pig­ ment cells are in the root of the hair, your hair is naturally darker the roots. , As you get older the amount of melanin your skin and hair follicles produce decreases. The hair shaft loses pigment and you have gray, then white, hair. It is normal. Doctor Lamb/welcomes letters from readers with health questions. You can write to him at P.O.

By James Jacoby Newspaper Enterprise Association Luck comes in pairs VES, MINE. BOTH LOOKING FOFOUFTO To HRNJLNG- SOMEONE. NeuJTO PLay WITH' MFLRRJ MICHAEL KEEPS BOGSING- ME! I THINK THE NCK/ElTy'S tUORN OFF J Ail For South, this deal had to be the luckiest occurrence during the ld85 Cavendish Pairs. In the methods used by North-South the bid of a new suit at the two-level after partner's opening bid was game-forcing. North and South were committed to getting to game at the very least. At his second opportunity to bid, South could content himself with a mere two no-trump, leaving his partner room to show a second suit. North, of course, had two remaining suits, but his opening bid was so sparse, a mere 12 high-card points, that he just raised two no- trump to three. Naturally South bid six no-trump. What was so lucky about the hand? Well, for starters, you can see that North-South did have a 4-4 suit fit in clubs, but slam in that strain would be doomed by the adverse distribution of the defenders' clubs. So it was gootl luck to stay out gf clubs. The next piece of good fortune relates to West's choice of opening lead. The bidding certainly held no clues. Any lead could be right, but the actual choice of the small diamond seems wrong. Leading a club might cost a trick, but it could hardly cost an entire suit, and that is just what the diamdnd lead did. De­ clarer needed xour diamond tricks to make six no-trump, and that is just what the opening lead provided. , 1 NORTH t-lt-U • A K 8 3 2 f • K 9 8 4 1 • Q 6 4 3 • WEST EAST • j • J 5 • 10 9 7 6 4 ..I V 10 9 2 VJ 8 7 4 3 • Q 7 6 5 • J 3 * • K J 9 8 • 5 SOUTH • Q .*• V A K 0 6 5 / • A 10 2 / • A 10 7 2 Vulnerable: Neither V I Dealer: West West North East South Pass 1 • Pass 2* 4 Pass 2 • Pass 2 NT Pass 3 NT Pass 6 NT Pass Pass Pass 0 Opening lead: #5 J
