IT / ASTRO GRAPH By Bemice Berie Osol, Newspaper Enterprise Association Don't spread yourself too thin %ir 'Birthday Aug, 28, 1985 Possibilities for success look strong in the year ahead, provided you don't spread your efforts too thinly. Focus on the areas of greatest potential and stay with it until it yields rewards. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use your common sense and take safety precau-„ tions when working today. Don't at­ tempt to do something on your own that requires a competent helper. Know where to look for romance and you'll find it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Guard against tendencies today to take seriously things that should be treated lightly. Laugh along with the crowd if you're the butt of a joke. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-NOV.22) Family members, as well as yourself, could have low kindling points today. You can t control their behavior, but you can yours. Stay cool. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dac. 21) When something annoys you, you usually bring it out into the open. However, today you may only grumble under your breath and cause others to wonder what is wrong. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you have an outstanding financial obligation that you know must be taken care of, try to pay at least a portion of it today If you can't clear all of it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Continue to move cautiously in your financial affairs. Don't take risks even if another encour­ ages you to do so. The loss will be yours, not his. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your judgment may not be up to its usual high stan­ dards today if you feel impelled to mak&- decisions under pressure. Don't let yourself be squeezed into a corner. * HEALTH: By Dr. Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D., News America Service Anxiety is no fun for anybody DEAR DR. LAMB: I have your Health Letter, "That Anxious Feeling." Many of the symptoms discussed are mine. I have digestive problems, "nervous stomach," anxiety, apprehension and dreaded muscle soreness, stiff neck and shoulders and a weak, nervous feeling in my lower. My doctor had tests taken and I'm fine, so he put me on tranquilizers and Inderal. I'm worse after the tranquilizers for a while. On my last visit he told me it was "Just human" at my age of 75 to be uneasy and afraid, especially about my health. I am apparently health, plenty of vitality. I walk two miles each day, work in my house and yard. I asked him to give me a B-12 shot, which he did. It seemed to help, or something did. Is it useful for anxiety? DEAR READER: Every day doctors are faced with what to do for the patient who is anxious and has good reasons to be so. One of the major concerns of older people is their health. No one wants to look forward to the end of life or the many disabilities that can occur. But I don't think the solution is taking a lot of medicines to dull your brain so you won't enjoy life. Part of the problem is attitude. There are people who think of the glass as being half empty while others think of it being half full. In your case, think of the fact that you are healthy and you are able to walk two miles a day and run your own life at age 75. That's great! Your glass is more than half full. I'm glad you have read The Health letter 19-8, "That Anxious Feeling." 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, Irvina, CA 92713. I hope you are following the suggestions on lifestyle to help minimize anxiety. It may. sound unkind, but the problem many people have is just thinking about themselves and their own problems. A good cure for worrying about your age and health is to help someone else. And it helps to have goals and be busy. Never let your age be the deciding factor in whether you should start a new project or not. Get involved with things and people. You will soon find you are so busy with the many things you can do that you stop worrying about your health. I'm afraid the effects of the B-12 shot were mostly psychological. There is no reason that B-12 should help unless you actually had a B-12 deficiency. However, it illustrates to you how important your mind is in terms of how CROSSWORD you feel. DEAR DR. LAMB: 1 have a problem that I'm too embarrassed to ask my doctor about. Whenever I lie down I have some kind of pulsation over my ears and in my temples. This is very annoying when I'm trying to relax. I would like to know what causes this* movement and what to do to get relief? , Nobody believes me when I tell them something is moving in my head. DEAR READER: Yes, something is tnoving in your head • blood. Many"* people can feel the pulsations made by * their heartbeat, and some can hear < their heartbeat, particularly if they lie * on their left side. Try lying on your £ right side. '* And our body does move with each J heartbeat. You may not remember * Newton's third law of motion, but it * states for every action force there is an * equal and opposite reaction force. \ When the heart pumps blood out and' # the blood moves toward your head,, your body actually moves downward. i If you are suspended these movements ' can be recorded. Such recording are 1 called ballistocardiograms. Let your doctor check you over to be sure you have no reason for an overactive circulation, but the chances are that you have become aware of a natural phenomenon.

Have you been reading those magazines from the supermarket again?" (C) 1985 by NEA. Inc By Jam»» Jacoby Newspaper Enterprise Association Shaky contract play ALONE / w] La* North first made a temporizing response of one diamond, just to see what South's rebid would be. After South had rebid two clubs, it was a simple matter for North to ask for aces and settle for the small slam. What North did not anticipate was that. the slam contract would be precarious, but then the opening bid by South was a bit ragged -- only 10 high-card points. What's the best play after the queen of diamonds lead? You have a choice in the heart suit of a straight finesse or a ruffing finesse. But first you should lead a spade, either up to dummy's king or toward your own queen. Do you see what you can do if you slip a spade trick through? Next you can plav ace of hearts and then the queen, discarding a spade if East does not cover. On the other hand, when you lead a spade and the,oppo­ nent in front of you rises with the ace, the king of spades in dummy will eventually take care of your losing diamond. You will of course have a problem if the spade honor you lead up to is taken by the ace. The best approach is probably to lead from dummy. When West takes your queen with his ace, you have a clue that the heart king is with East. The theory is that West, with the spade ace, Q-J of diamonds, and heart king,' would perhaps have made a tak­ eout double of one club. Since he did pass, play him for not having all the outstanding high honors in the deck.
