Heloise Shopping cart restraints eyed

DEAR HELOISE: As a new mother, I am happy to see Chat many grocery stores now have baby seats as well as child safety restraints in their shopping carts. However, I was appalled when I found the mtyor children’s department stores in our area have no restraints whatsoever in their shopping carts. You would think stores which cater to the needs of babies and children would be more safety conscious. Since they are not, I have been forced to purchase a safety restraint to use in these shopping carts or in highchairs in restaurants. Stores and restaurants that do have restraints in their shopping carts and highchairs should pay more attention to their condition. Many times they have parts missing so that using the highchair or cart may imperil your child. If safety starts at home, businesses should not cause the practice to end the minute you step in their front door. Constance A. Kiljjanczyk, Toledo, Ohio •' - It seems more grocery stores are

starting to equip food carts with restraints for children. I hope children’s department stores won’t be too far behind in doing the same. Heloise JLETTER OF THANKS Dear Heloise: In cleaning up after Hurricane Hugo, I found a new use for nylon scrubbers. Mine was excellent for removing the sticky residue left on my windows from taping them. The nylon scrubbers beat the knives and razor blades my friends used. Elizabeth Moore, Garden City, S.C. Glad you are OK and that good ole nylon net can help! Heloise

Dear Abby

Smoker demands equal time for health hazards of coffee

DEAR ABBY: I am an adult woman whose mother-in-law is always telling me how bad smoking is for me. Every time you have something in your column about smoking, she clips it and mails it to me. I read your column every day and she knows it but she sends these articles anyway. The point is if my mother-in-law didn’t have any bad habits of her own, I would be touched by her concern about my health. But she drinks coffee all day long. Everybody knows that coffee is a health hazard, so look who’s talking. I wish people would clean up their own backyards before criticizing someone else’s. Abby, please print something about the dangers of too much coffee. And thank you for not using my name or town. ME DEAR ME: The most important ingredient in coffee, which accounts for its popularity, is caffeine a drug that stimulates the central nervous system and provides that “lift” most coffee drinkers enjoy. It’s also a morning waker-upper and a quick pick-me-up during the day. (Legend has it that its sleep-in-hibiting properties led to coffee’s discovery thousands of years ago by Arabian shepherds who noticed that their sheep walked around all night after eating berries of the coffee plant.) Most physicians agree that an excess of caffeine can cause insomnia, irregular or rapid heartbeat, upset stomach, high blood pressure and nervousness. Obviously, habitual coffee drinkers hurt only themselves, while habitual smokers (unless they never smoke in the presence of others) offend and possibly harm those around them. * * * DEAR ABBY: “No problem” is getting to be a replacement for “You’re welcome.” This irks me. I didn’t mean

to be a “problem.” JANE IN SUN CITY WEST, ARIZ. DEAR JANE: Apparently it doesn’t take much to irk you. In response to “Thank you,” “You’re welcome” acknowledges, rather stiffly, that a “thank you” was in order. “No problem” is a less formal way of saying, “Aw it was no big deal.” * * * DEAR ABBY: Albeit a very late but heartfelt response to “Alone in Wichita, Kan.,” who caught herpes from her husband: Please let her know that she is not alone. Having herpes made it easy for me to say “No.” I never let it keep me from dating and having a normal social life, but if it came to the point where sex was the question, I would ask myself if I knew this person well enough to tell him that I had herpes. If the answer was no, I said no to sex. I felt that any man who was interested in me as a person would stick around anyway and they generally did. I was not promiscuous. I was a healthy, attractive young woman who was divorced at 24 and had only one relationship at a time. So, please tell “Alone” that there are plenty of right people out there who will not let a little thing like herpes stand in the way of a loving relationship. I know. I was lucky enough to find one. We’ve been happily married for four years. ALIVE AND WELL IN GEORGIA
