LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) The results could be undesirable if you let Others make decisions for you today in situa­ tions that could cost you money. Think for yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-NOVJ2) Usually you're the type of person who goes all out when you want to achieve an impor­ tant objective, but today this may not be true and the results will reflect it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Oec. 21) Allow yourself adequate time today for each task you have to perform.

LAMB: I and a 41-year- old woman and I have cvsts In my breasts. My breasts are particularly painful just before my periods. They seem more lumpy then, too. What causes this problem? Does It keep get­ ting worse as you get older? I have cut down on my caffeine In­ take and only drink two cups of coffee a day. I also take 800 mg of vitamin E a day, but still I have these tender breasts. Is there anything else I can do about this condition? Will I have to have surgery? DEAR READER: Those cysts arise , from the milk ducts, and they are ex­ tremely common. One study reported that over half of all women develop them. No, the disease isn't re^ny pre gressive. In fact, it occurs /most often during the childbearing yfears and is relatively uncommon after'age 55. I am <a little surprised by your state­ ment that you only drink two cups of coffee a day. There have been studies that show that tbfe methylzanthines contribute to fibrocystic disease of the breast. There is a complicated metabolic reason for this (methylzan­ thines stimulate cyclical AMP and the metabolic activity in the breast). And what are methylzanthines? The fut- W i z a r d o f I d UiL-- Ui iil I l i ^ l l M l V • t * B y H r a n t I ' a r k o r & l l a r E /V&OHA'T ^ i P ? J l j ri chief one is caffeine, but the others are theophylline and theobromine. " There has been a lot of controversy about how effective limiting methylzanthines really is. But if you want to get the best results, you need to stop all intake of these drugs. They are found in coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate and any of the caffeine-containing colas. Don't forget chocolate at a source. A chocolate bar contains 35 mg of caffeine. Baking chocolate Is a rich source of caffeine and, of course, you have to forget all foods made with chocolate. Also, you should not smoke. Nicotine has th^same^metabolic effects on the brepsfas the meUwlzanthines. And the bpst results have occurred from follow- ig this routine strictly<or suspect a major differenpTlnresults Is related to short studies and incomplete adherence to eliminating methylzan­ thines and cigarettes, or both. I have discussed fibrocystic disease in The Health Letter 18-12, "Breast Basics," 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. That is a large dose of vitamin E to CROSSWORD take on a regular basis. Moat cases of fibrocystic disease <fo not require surgery, and It should be used only as a last resort In severe cases. DEAR DR. LAMB: I am a 23-year- old female, 5 feet 1 and weigh 102 I'm an ex-runner who has not lad a period in three years. I no longer run but I do exercise daily, either on an exercise bike or in a weight room. I'm worried that the lack of a period may cause degeneration of the bones. Should I take estrogen? I use a calcium supplement. DEAR READER: Smart move. You probably do need the calcium. You also need to see a gynecologist. Most of the women athletes who have had evidence of osteoporosis 4dissolving bones) have been very thin. They also have stopped having periods. Pat tissue does'ptyrji role in female hor­ mone production ill takes one form of estrogen ahd^convelrts It Into a more active form. I can't tell yotis or not. You will you need estrogen sd some studies to determine why/you have not been menstruating^You may have a hor­ mone imbalance, but your doctor will need to know exactly what is happen­ ing with you before he can really help you. Meanwhile, 1 do think you should use a calcium supplement.

DIDNT MIND Last June, jost one month before Barry Crane's tragic death, Crane and David Berkowitz placed first in the open pairs at the Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Regional Tournament. Here's one hand they played that shows what made Barry such a tough competitor. After learning that West's four-club bid was Gerber, asking for aces, David (sitting North) made a lead- directing double. Barry ventured a five-club bid over West's four spades and was doubled Barry won the opening lead of the club jack with dummy's ace and led the diamond jack to West's king West returned a spade to dummy's king, and Barry now ruffed a diamond in his hand. A low club to dummy's king pulled the last trump and a third dia­ mond was played, ruffed by declarer Now came the spade ace, spade ruff in dummy, and anothef diamond ruff in hand to establish the suit Dummy's club nine provided the entry to the two good diamonds, allowing declarer to throw two heart losers from his hand That made 11 tricks, and Barry could now concede a heart trick.. Would North and South have found their club game without West's artif^. cial club bid7 Probably not Could East-West have made four spades7 Not against South's easy-to-find lead of the singleton diamond Ironically, East-West might make four hearts unless North switches to tne king of spades after the presumed lead of the club king NORTH •-MS • K 8 *4 • J 1 0 » « 5 4 f X K t i WEST EAST - • Q 6 2 • J 1 0 9 & 4 * 0 1 0 1 4 1 » A K J I I • A K I 7 * Q 3 • J * Q t SOUTH • A7 i * 9 7 2 Kt • 10 7 6 4 12 Vulnerable Both Dealer East Weil North East See* 1# Pass *•* Dtol 4* Paaa 4# Pam Pass 4+ 1 bbl Pas* Paas Paaa •Gerber Opening lead: 4J V t
