BUT VV£R£ AFWAlP"- 8 For Better or Worse" By Lynn Johnston DEAR DR. LAMB: I have been on a reducing program for three months. I bave controlled my calories with a 1,200-calorie diet, and I walk two hours every day. So far I have lost 23 pounds In three months' time. I'm pleased with my program, and it works except for one thing. The skin on my face is. wrinkled and you can see I've lost weight. My arms and legs are thin. In fact, my legs look pretty good, pro­ bably from walking. But I am not hav­ ing as much luck In getting fat off my hips. With my weight loss everywhere else. I look like I'm wearing a bustle. My clothes don't fit right, either. My dresses are either too large in the chest area or too tight over my buttocks. Why is it so difficult to lose weight in that area? Can 1 do exercises that will eliminate that area of fat? DEAR READER: You are not uni­ que. And exercising the muscles In that area will not eliminate the excess fat. There is no such thing as spot reduc­ ing. There is some new work that sug­ gests a person inherits the tendency to develop fat In certain locations. Studies from Rockefeller University show that fat cells have different chemical receptors related to nerve fiber functions that affect how they handle fat. One kind of receptor causes fat cells to break down fat. Another receptor causes a fat cell to store fat. It follows that a woman with your problem has fat cells over the thighs and buttocks which have the kind of receptors that cause them to store fat. These will be the last and most difficult areas to reduce. . ' -> I have discussed this concept more fully In The Health Letter 25-11, which 1 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. These new studies support another idea, that it is normal for some people to be fat. If you have the kind of fat cells which have receptors that en­ courage fat storage, losing weight may not be good for you. In fact, when peo­ ple who should normally be fat make too much of an effort to be thin, they have some of the same problems we see In starvation and In anorexics. DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a 62-year- old woman and was recently diagnosed as having sarcoidosis. My doctor described It as a non-contagious disease of unknown cause, somewhat resembling tuberculosis. He said it produces small, lumpy tumors that may arise in almost any tissue, but partlculary in the lungs, skin, eyes, lymphatic system, liver and muscles. He said the nodules may persist un­ changed for years or they may heal and then recur. He told me the symp­ toms vary depending on the organs In­ volved and there is no specific treat­ ment. Do you know of anything new for treatment? 1 am partlculary concern­ ed about my eyes. Should my op- thalmologlst be told that I have this disease. DEAR READER: That describes the disease pretty well. The cause Is not known even though the disease has been around for ages. It may never cause you any trouble. When sarcoidosis does require treat­ ment, corticosteroid therapy, pred­ nisolone Is usually used. If the lungs were sufficiently infiltrated to cause breathlessness, this would be the usual treatment. It can Involve the eyes and cause a variety of eye disorders. Anyone with sarcoidosis should have an examina­ tion by an opthalmologlst and have regular evaluations of the eyes thereafter. Eye Involvement requires special treatment.

EXCEPT FOR PHySeDJTHRT IS. rmp&Nm An important part of good bridge, when you are the declarer, is to give yourself the best chance to make your contract. Although a lot of the right plays in this area have been cata­ logued, new variations keep cropping up. You can't memorize all the plays, but a little common sense should help you see them when they occur ' If the dummy in today's deal had in­ cluded a diamond suit of A-J-10-9-8-7, I'm certain that declarer would have found the play of overtaking the king with the ace in dummy to force out the defenders' queen! Then the king of hearts would be the entry for the re­ maining good diamonds. With A-Q-8-7- 4-3 in dummv, that sort of play did not occur to declarer. Still, it should have. If diamonds are 3-3, all that declarer has sacrificed is one extra trick. If dia­ monds are not 3-3, declarer may be going set anyway, but overtaking the king with the ace can win against any 4-2 division that includes the double- ton J*10,10-2 or J-9. After playing the A-Q. the eight can force out the jack, and the seven can subsequently absorb the remaining six-spot in West's hand And that's what the game is all about increasing the chances of making your contract.
