Dear Folks: When we asked our readers how to remove the “hot,” spicy taste from foods, we had no idea so many of you would take time to sit down to write us! I have been spending the last few hours pouring over your letters and was surprised at some of the answers. Many of you sweeties had a good idea: make another batch of chili (or whatever dish that is too spicy) without the seasonings, combine the two dishes and freeze the extra. Isn’t that a smart idea? Now you can have another meal ready in just minutes. ,* Or, just add another can of cooked pinto beans, some tomato juice or canned tomatoes.

!r Some even suggested that a ; teaspoon of sugar per quart of ! chili will cool it down. ; * Even some darling cook at a , Mexican restaurant wrote. He—- * and other readers—said to add I catsup or a few drops of vinegar iko the food. How about a yummy dish? ! Serve over shredded lettuce or ever cooked macaroni, cooked rice or mashed potatoes. If your spaghetti sauce is too , -spicy, stir in small curd cottage cheese. Betcha this will taste ; almost like lasagna! T For bland foods that are too "spicy, add cream of mushroom ' soup. Or add salad dressing or ; -mayonnaise to a too hot relish. .?« A sprinkling of ground ! allspice will correct overpeppered food—a banana will ■correct over-peppered throats. And as one smart reader-. • suggested, if eating.out and fin<T ; yourself caught with a mouthful * :-that’s too hot, a quick drink of iced tea has more cooling effect than water, soda pop, milk or ■ any other beverage. Aren’t you all honey pies to give us all these good ideas? Maybe someone will come up with a new and delicious dish using some of these ideas. Love to each of youall, Heloise * * * LETTER OF LOVE Dear Heloise: Thanks so much for your many services to all of us. You keep us alert, aware, and active. You have earned your “A’s”! Mrs. M.K.

must restrict their intake of sugar. I have discovered that the pancake batter may be sweetened with a good artificial sweetener. After cooking, just add butter and you have a very tasty pancake with no need for syrup. Paul Leffler ♦ * * What a mouth-watering idea for all of us watching our weight. (Watching it go up!) I added a dash of maple extract to the batter at the same time and it was outstanding. No syrup needed, so you save some calories and inches. Paul, we will all thank you everytime we indulge and save all those calories. Heloise

Dear Heloise: I found that the lid to the tube potato chip can makes excellent lids for the 15-ounce can of dog or cat food. As I never use a whole can, I always use one of these lids to cover the can before placing it in the refrigerator. Ann A. Hardy - * * * Dear Heloise: May I offer my money-saving idea on buying top sheets for a queen-sized bed? Buy double-sized sheets. This works if you are a medium size. But I wouldn’t recommend it for a couple of “humpty dumptys ..” Mrs. D.E. * * * Dear Heloise: When sewing a garment that requires an elastic waistband, try trimming all seams before sewing the casing down. Your safety pin or whatever you use for a “threader” for the elastic, will slip past the seams much easier, Mrs. Jack Oeser * * * LETTER OF THOUGHT Dear Heloise: I enjoy your column very much and am so glad you encourage thrift. It is nothing to be ashamed of, yet some folks find it embarrassing. Have we grown so pathetically sophisticated? I think thrift is a contribution to the nonpolluting and noninflationary effort we should all be interested in contributing to, each in his own way. Angie Vignola * * * Dear Heloise: Here is a hint which new mothers may not have thought

of: If your baby slides down in his highchair, try placing a piece of foam rubber on the seat before setting baby in the chair. A square of rubber carpet pad is perfect. Kathy Meagher * '* * LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloke: What happened to nylon net? Some stores say they just do not carry it, or they cannot buy it anymore. (This was long before the “fuel oil crisis?” had any effect on the manufacture of synthetics.) Moreover, what net is now available goes completely limp after just a few times use.

Serve a savory instead of a

Dentists, doctors and nutritionists have been warning Americans for some years that they consume too many sweets. Now the high price of sugar may help to create a new foodstyle one of benefit to health. For an evening refresher when company comes, instead of a big cake, why not offer a big savory? A “savory” is a British term that means, according to Webster, “a cooked or uncooked dish of stimulating flavor served at the end of dinner, but sometimes as an appetizer before the meal.” British savories are never sweet. A savory we tried recently, one dreamed up by a California cook, is as decorative looking as a frosted and ornamented cake. This savory has a pastry base spread with a well-season-ed cream-cheese mixture and is topped with a lattice of pastry and brisling sardines. We served it recently, instead of a sweet, to a group of neighbors at an evening get-together and they all voted for it.

Courses are also being added in colleges all over the country to equip graduates to teach the instrument. • Nearly 10% of the high schools and about 15% of the elementary schools offer group instruction on the guitar.

Dear Abby Physician offers advice / By Abigail Van Buren © 1975 by Chicago Tribune-N.Y. News Synd., Inc. DEAR ABBY: I am a physician who reads your column in the Houston Post. A 40-year-old woman wrote to say that after four months of marriage she was still a virgin due to impotence on the part of her husband. Your answer: “If it’s physical, you have two choices—continue in a marriage without sex. or get an annulment.” From your answer, you obviously are not aware of the fact that recently a small device has been developed that can be surgically implanted into the male organ of men who are unable to effect an erection. With this device, the patient (or his partner) is able to pump fluid into the penis, thus producing an erection at will and for as long as desired. Although the majority of our cases are men who are impotent due to physical reasons, we have also treated men whose impotence was due to psychological reasons. This work is presently being done at various medical centers in the U.S. as well as in Europe, although it was initiated at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital in Houston, Texas. Because this is such a new development, I realize why it has not become a part of your knowledge. Should this letter be published, please do not use my name for ethical reasons so that my letter can in no manner be construed as an advertisement for patients. HOUSTON UROLOGIST DEAR UROLOGIST: Because my mail has brought me so many letters from readers who need and would appreciate this information, I am publishing your letter. I recommend that those who are interested in learning more about this surgical procedure consult their local urologists. And for further information write to St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital, Department of Urology, Box #20269, Houston, Texas 77025. DEAR ABBY: In reference to first cousins who wish to marry and apparently could not do so legally in the state where they lived, such marriages are permitted by the laws of New York —and many other states. A more curious question: “Can an uncle marry a niece, or an aunt marry a nephew?” A few Latin American countries permit such marriages, and in the U.S.A., the laws of Georgia provide that any marriage permitted by the law of the Levites (Leviticus XVIII) is legal in that state. Under the law of the Levites, a marriage between a man and the daughter of his sister is permitted. However, the marriage of a man with the daughter of his brother, and a marriage between a woman and her nephew are prohibited. H.N.N.IN.Y. ATTORNEY) DEAR ATTORNEY: What you are saying is that a man may marry his niece, but a woman may not marry her nephew: a law which had its origin in the Old Testament. DEAR ABBY: You have had letters about illegitimate children. May I add my two cents worth? My parents were adults, well over the age of consent, when they entered into a love afair that would eventually produce me. My father was in the Navy and due to ship out when he learned of my impending arrival. He felt that under the circumstances he didn't want the responsibility of a wife and child, so he boarded the ship and was never heard from again. My mother realized her mistake, but she courageously faced the problems that all unwed mothers must face, and she decided to keep me. She later married a fine man who adopted me, and now I have a whole passel of brothers and sisters whom 1 love. I wish my natural father only happiness and good fortune. I sincerely hope that the years have been kind to him. and have given him a family to love. I will not look for him. as his mistake is now over 30 years old. and I don't want to cause him any embarrassment. When I was 18, mother told me the circumstances surrounding my birth, which I consider of little importance. I feel no guilt about the mistake of my parents. I was given a life, and what I do with that life is far more important to me than how I got here. I am now happily married to a kind and loving man and we have children of our own. We don’t have a lot of money, but we are rich in other ways. We have love. And in this life, no one has a right to ask for more, sign me.... BLESSED DEAR BLESSED: Amen! Everyone has a problem. What’s yours? For a personal reply, write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif. 90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. For Abby’s new booklet, “What Teen-agers Want to Know," send SI to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lasky Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212. Please enclose a long, self-addressed, stamped (20<t) envelope.
