The course you choose may be a tough one, but you can weather it successfully. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today you could experience opposition from sources who are usually in accord with your aims. Don't overreact. Just smile, even if it hurts. Know where to look for romance and you'll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker set. instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $2 to Astro-Graph, Box 489, Radio City Station, New York, NY 10019. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It may be necessary for you to deal with someone today who treated you disagreeably in the past. If you hold a grudge, you'll have a repea't performance. LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct. 23) Use your com- mort sense today regarding social ex­ penditures. Don't be too proud to back out of activities that friends can afford, but you can't. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.22) Just be­ cause you're a nice person doesn't mean things will be handed to you gratis today. You'll have to work hard for what you hope to get. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) This is the wrong day for you to try to impose your philosophy on others. Let everyone think for himself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Don't be drawn into a complicated situation with some friends today. You could end up being obligated to an undesirable action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Decisions based ufton spiteful motives or the de­ sire to get even with someone you dis­ like will backfire today and cause more problems. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 19) Pace your work sensibly today. If you press your­ self too hard, you'll get fatigued and make needless mistakes. ARIES (March 21-April 19) It's only best at this time not to become involved bu- sinesswise with someone you know only socially. You may get along great at the club, but not in the marketplace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Most of your frustrations today are apt to be generat­ ed from domestic matters. Be patient and keep your temper in check so they're not enlarged. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Weigh the se­ verity of your words carefully today, es­ pecially in discourses with co-workers. Harsh comments could ignite an argument. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be extreme­ ly prudent and careful in money matters today, because, if you do something wrong, it could prove to be difficult to rectify." 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 Exercise helpful for strong bones DEAR DR. LAMB: My question is, should I keep going on my daily walks of about one mile? I go three or four mornings each week. 1 have always been very active and still am for a woman of my age. I'm 74. However, I have degenerative osteoarthritis. I am so stiff in my Joints, especially my knees and hips. Also, I am more tired after my walks. Is this harmful to my joints? I read in your column that exercise is helpful to us and about how it helps keep our bones thick. I drink milk and also take calcium. I fell and broke a hip 10 years ago, so I have a full hip Joint replacement. It gets tender after too much exertion but otherwise is pretty good. DEAR READER: I like the idea of your getting the benefits that you can get from a regular walk. A lot of the problems people have in terms of loss of strength and fatigue as they get older are really because they cease to be active. Your letter suggests that you also have osteoporosis (dissolving bones), which was probably a factor in your breaking a hip. Walking does help to maintain good strong bones. The other side of the question is that exercise really is not helpful for osteoarthritis, which you also have. That is especially true of any weight- bearing exercise. You do need some form of exercise to maintain muscle strength, and stretching exercises to maintain flexibility. And exercise is beneficial to other organ systems, such as the heart. Under these circumstances you have to compromise. Do some stretching ex­ ercises and do exercises that are not too stressful. Swimming would be good for your body when you have osteoar­ thritis, but won't help osteoporosis. If you can't swim, exercises in water are often helpful. Perhaps a physical therapist could help you with a pro­ gram that is best for your particular case. There is much more to osteoarthritis than Just exercise. I know you will want to read The Health Letter 20-2, "Osteoarthritis: Degenerative Joint Disease," 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, Ir­ vine, CA 92713. You might do better with a warm bath, stretching and then walking. You wouldn't feel so stiff. DEAR DR. LAMB: What I would CROSSWORD like to know is, what would make your stool army green? I have had two such attacks- With the first one my stool got very soft and it burned. The other was only one movement. I have no symp­ toms of gallstones. If it makes any dif­ ference, I am 58. DEAR READER: The color of the stool is important in diagnosing some illnesses. Keep in mind that much of the stool is undigested food residue, and what you eat may affect its color. • But the major source of color is from your bile. The bile pigments cause bile to*be that green color you are asking about. Once the bile mixes with undigested food residue, it is subjected to bacterial action in the colon. That usually changes its color to some variation of brown. You may have had some alteration in the bacterial con­ tent of your colon temporarily that caused your natural bile pigment to fail to undergo Changes. If your liver is not producing bile, or if the common bile duct is blocked so that bile cannot drain into the in­ testine, the stools lose pigment and may be light clay-colored or chalky in appearance. Black stools suggest iron or digested blood.

I n c By James Jacoby Newspaper Enterpr ise Associa t ion Keep your guard up Do you need to retain trumps in the short hand to prevent loss of trump control in the long hand? That's the question Harry Lampert answers with the diagramed example from "The Fun Way to Advanced Bridge" (Simon and Schuster, Inc.). Since as little in North's hand as the diamond king and spade support .would provide a reasonable play for game, South bid it immediately when North raised spades; Three rounds of hearts forced declarer to ruff the third pne. Because the takeout double by West showed an opening bid, declarer did not waste time with a futile diamond finesse. Instead, before drawing trumps, he led a low diamond to the jack, West ducking. When that held, declarer came back to his diamond ace and played the queen. West still did not cover, and declarer discarded a low club from dummy as East ruffed. East now returned a trump, but South was able to force out the diamond king, ruffing it with dummy's spade jack. Only then did he draw trumps and make his contract. Note the disaster AWfltMjptMtorer if he draws even two rounds of spades before attacking diamonds. West should not take the first diamond, and I'll leave it to you readers to work out the various ways the defenders can now set the contract/ % NORTH 8-14-85 • J 5 2 * 7 6 2 • J 9 • A Q 1 0 7 3 WEST EAST • 3 • 9 8 7 6 V K Q 9 4 • A 1 0 8 3 • K 7 6 3 4 5 2 • K 9 5 2 • J 8 4 SOUTH • A K Q 1 0 4 V J 5 • A Q 1 0 8 4 • 6 Vulnerable: Both Dealer: North West North East .
