Dear Abby Cause of cirrhosis is not always found in bottle

DEAR ABBY: There is a tremendous need to educate the public, and I can think of no better way than through your column. Most Americans think cirrhosis of the liver is a disease of alcoholics and hepatitis is a disease of drug addicts. Not true! Abby, please inform your readers that even infants and children can develop cirrhosis. Everything we eat, breathe and absorb through our skin is refined in the liver, the most overworked and least understood organ in our body. Fifty-thousand infants, children and adults die every year from liver diseases. Even babies die of cirrhosis, and half of the hepatitis cases are among children and teen-agers. The American Liver Foundation is launching a national campaign to help prevent liver diseases the fourthleading cause of death up to the age of 65. We will be glad to send, free of charge, the latest information about liver diseases to anyone who sends a selfaddressed, stamped envelope to: The American Liver Foundation, 30 Sunrise Terrace, Cedar Grove, N.J. 07009. Thank you, Abby, for the concern you have shown for the health of our nation. THELMA K. THIEL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DEAR MS. THIEL: You have done my readers a service by writing to me. I’m happy to help. DEAR ABBY: This is to commend “Mom” for forcing her 9-year-old son to return the candy bar he had stolen from the market, apologize to the manager and promise never to do it again. However, I think Mom should have reported the manager’s behavior to his or her superior. (The manager said to the young shoplifter, “Oh, that’s OK; it’s no big deal. We have people carry out about SIOO worth of stuff every day!”) Given the attitude of a large percentage of today’s employees, which is to soak the employer at every opportunity, it seems reasonable to believe that a lot of losses attributed to shoplifters are actually “inside jobs” that is, merchandise going out the back door with employees. In any event, that store manager should have been censured for minimizing the crime of stealing. F.G.T., WALLA WALLA, WASH. DEAR F.G.T.: I agree. One of the reasons stealing has become epidemic in our society is the “no big deal” attitude that prevails.

Hints from Heloise Security sock helps welcome puppy

DEAR HELOISE: Here is a proven method of making a puppy’s first night in his new home a good experience for the puppy, as well as the new owners. Simply take an old worn sock and make a tube out of it by stuffing one sock with another and tying a knot in the end of it. You’ll need one “security sock” for each puppy in the litter. A week before you start selling or giving your puppies new homes, put the socks in their bed or pen. I jet them

play with them and sleep with them. As you send each puppy off into the world, hand the new owner the sock from the pen, explaining that the puppy will not feel so lonely in a new place since he’ll have something that smells like his mother and litter mates. Tell the new owner to wait a week or so before washing the sock so the puppy has time to feel really secure. I’ve used this method with 20 puppies and all of them went to sleep that first night

DEAR ABBY: You could do a lot of people a favor if you would remind those who send Christmas cards to include their first and last names, or some other kind of identification, so the recipient will know who sent it. Believe it or not, most cards don’t have a return address! Instead of bringing joyous greetings, a card signed “Helen and Jim” or “John and Cathy” brings only frustration when the recipient can’t figure out who these people are. In days gone by, one might puzzle out the identities by looking at the postmark, but with our high-priced, super Postal Service, there is either no postmark or an unfamiliar postmark of a central sorting system, which sheds no light on where it was mailed. Frankly, I’d rather get no card than get one from an unidentifiable sender. JOHN W. IN ATTLEBORO, MASS. DEAR JOHN: Hear, hear! And especially these days when it costs a dollar to say Merry Christmas to five friends. * * * DEAR ABBY: I always pay my paperboy by check because I think it’s dangerous for a 12-year-old boy to carry cash these days. I make the check out to the newspaper in case the check is stolen or lost; that way nobody else can cash it. Also, by having the check ready, I never have to ask the paperboy to come back because “I don’t have the money,” or whatever excuses people use. You may find this worth passing on to your readers. JOLENE IN ANN ARBOR DEAR JOLENE: It’s well worth passing on. Most people don’t realize that a newspaper carrier is in business for himself. He pays for the newspapers when he picks them up, and if his customers move without paying what they owe him, the loss is his. So here’s a plea to all you subscribers. Please pay your carrier promptly! * * * Do you have questions about sex, love, drugs and the pain of growing up?

without a whimper, and settled into their new homes much quicker. Michelle Essex * * * Oh, goody! One of my secretaries is in just such a position. She can hardly wait to give your tip a try. Heloise EASYCLEANUP Dear Heloise: I’ve eliminated a messy job that I’ve always disliked. When mixing flour and water for gravy, I use the can from a vegetable I’ve opened for the meal. No dirty dish to wash, as I just throw the can away when finished. Norma LETTER OF THOUGHT Dear Heloise: I’m afraid I don’t agree with Vi Parker who wrote “a flower makes an excellent card.” A fresh flower is beautiful, but how long will it last? I have letters and cards since childhood from my deceased husband, my five Children, friends and relatives who have passed away, my grandchildren and greatgrandkids. Being 76 years old, a widow, and living alone, whenever I get lonely or depressed, I drag out my box of letters and cards, and I always feel better when I’ve read them. Flowers are beautiful, but don’t stop the cards! Fannie Mae Sauls ★ ★ ★ Agreed! Cards last a lifetime, but the beauty and fragrance of a blossom from God’s own garden can leave a

memory in the heart for years to come. The main thing is just to be remembered! Hugs, Heloise HANDICAPPED PROBLEM Dear Heloise: While touring with a handicapped friend, we encountered very few problems. However, the bathrooms in motels presented complications as the tile floors were extremely slippery and the tubs, even with the small traction strips, were a hazard for my friend who walks on two crutches. Most motels provided cloth bathmats but these, too, were of no help to her. Faced with the inability to take a shower, we tried all avenues and finally came up with the idea of using the front floor mats from the car. They were large enough to provide a non-slippery area for her to get in and out of the tub by putting one inside the tub and the other on the floor outside the tub. This worked so well we are sharing the idea with you in hopes it might assist some other handicapped or elderly person. JuneH. ★ * * Thanks for caring! Heloise it it it Have a helpful hint for the handicapped? Send it to Heloise, P.O. Box 32000, San Antonio, TX 78216. She can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best tips received in her column.
