LAMB: I am a 43-year- old female, and I know I'll soon be go­ ing through the change of life. Obvious­ ly, I am wondering about the use of hormones. You see, I'm scared of cancer. I have heard that hormones cause cancer of the uterus. I don't want that, but I don't want to lose my nor­ mal feeling as a woman. Just how big is the risk of having cancer of the uterus? I can't recall any of my friends or relatives having it, but I know of a lot of women who have had breast cancer. Can you enlighten me about cancer of the uterus? DEAR READER: I'm glad you are observing. There are two main types of cancer of the uterus, cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, cancer of the lining of the uterus. Cervical cancer affects the portion of the uterus that protrudes into the vaginal vault. The more benign forms of it are a lot like skin cancer. But the invasive form is a major problem. It is not caused by female hormones. This is the main type of cancer that can be detected early with a Pap smear. In fact, the regular use of Pap smear testing is a major reason for the sharp decline in deaths from cervical cancer in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 15,000 new cases of cervical cancer in the U.S. in 1985, but there will be 6,800 deaths from cervical cancer. That means about 45 percent of women with invasive cer­ vical cancer do not survive. But compare that to endometrial cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates there will be 37,000 new cases in the U.S. in 1985, but only 2,900 women will die from endometrial cancer. That means less than 8 percent of women with this type of uterine cancer die from it. The truth is that endometrial cancer is very treatable. Most of the deaths from it occur in neglected cases, not in women who have taken hormone- replacement therapy. These few eases do not justify not taking estrogen replacement, if a woman needs it, under her doctor's regular supervi­ sion. You may want to review the risks of cancer, which I have discussed in The Health Letter 26-2, "Cancer 1985." I'm sending you a copy. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to ihe In care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. DEAR DR. LAMB: I have been tak­ ing bone meal calcium pills three CROSSWORD times a day as a supplement to my diet, as I don't believe I get enough calcium. Recently I have read some articles stating that calcium sup­ plements may be dangerous, but the what, why and how is not explained. Will you please comment on this? DEAR READER: I do not know what others may have written, but a problem with bone meal is that the bones may come from old animals who i have lead deposits in their bones. That raises the possibility of lead poisoning. Dolomite as a source of calcium has also been suspect for possible lead stores. Calcium carbonate as occurs in oyster shells is harmless, unless you have a medical condition that requires you to limit your intake of calcium. Such conditions are relatively uncom­ mon. It might occur in a person who has a tendency to form calcium kidney stones. Or in the rare person who has an overactive parathyroid gland. And if a person is talcing a medicine, such as dome diuretics, that blocks the elimination of calcium from the, kidneys, excess calcium Intake might be a problem. Usually, if you consume' more calcium than you need, >our- body simply absorbs less from your' digestive tract.

IF THE QUYS IN MY FIELD WERE ONLY AVERAQIN' 360 GRAND A YEAR. WE'D GO ON STRIKE TOOI" By James Jacoby Newspaper Enterprise Associat ion Keep trumps to enter "Do I need trump entries so that I can take finesses in a side suit?" That's a question declarer must ask himself. If the answer is yes, declarer must maintain trump control in the play of the hand. South was not sure he wanted to be in game after his partner's raise. Still, any time you have a two-suited hand and partner has given your major suit a raise, there may be a game. Thus the try of three diamonds was fully warranted. That game try was enough for North. Although he had only eight high-card points, the K-Q of spades were gold and the heart king had a chance of winning a trick, so he went right to game. Three rounds of clubs were played and declarer ruffed. If he now plays three rounds of trumps before attack­ ing diamonds, he must go set. Instead, a spade to the queen followed by a diamond finesse and a spade to the king followed by another diamond finesse will bring home the bacon. It is also right to keep the little spade in dummy as you take the diamond finesse the second time. If East has four diamonds along with three spades, you will be able to establish your diamonds by ruffing the third round of diamonds with dummy's small spade. Notice also that game would be made even without the king of hearts in the North hand. See what I mean about two-suiters?
