GIFT Discount CUT OUT AND PRESENT WITH ORDER 10 the examiner Saturday Dec 1m mm Warts keep coming back Dear Ann Landers Please answer this letter before lose my mind The problem may sound trivial but its frightening and terribly annoying have warts Not only on toes but now also on my hands and possibly other places havent noticed yet started with one wart on my big toe and ended up with 60 between my big toe and second toe and they are spreading My doctors said warts are caused by virus and not to worry had all my warts burned and cut off but just noticed two tiny warts starting to grow on my fingers WHEN WILL THIS END have friend who also started with one wart and end ed up with 40 He had his burned off am 18 and my friend is 19 When asked him what his doctor said caused warts he replied lack of vitamins or lack of sex Is this true Panicky Dear Pan asked Fred Levit Chicago dermatologist to respond to your questions and this is what he said Warts are caused by specific virus which causes only warts Sex and diet have nothing to do with it To get warts you must be exposed to the virus and be suspecti ble Many people who are constantly exposed never get them Generally warts disap ar on their own after about eight months Many peop however seem wartprone Their warts persist and multiply The only effective treatments involve destroying tissue that contains the wart virus It can either be surgery burning or freezing with liquid nitrogen Suspectible people should get rid of all warts as soon as they appear since each wart can be source of new ones The fact that most warts will disappear spontaneously after few months is what accounts for the apparent ef fectiveness of such folk remedies as rubbing the warts with cut potatoes copper pennies etc They really do nothing but keep the person busy until the warts disappear on their own Checked The Ann Landers Encyclopedia to see what Leslie Nicholas MD of Philadelphia had to say about warts His information was similar to Dr Levits However he added something interesting and you can take it or levit excuse the pun Dr Nicholas said Suggestion therapy is often very successful Examples of suggestion therapy are rubb ing the wart with slice of potato which is then tossed over the left shoulder and allowed to rot in the earth urinating on the wart three nights in row after which the wart falls off in 10 days urine from virgin will cause the wart to fall off in five days but where can you find virgin these days who will cooperate rubb ing the wart with iece of string and then burying the string at midnight un era full moon Obviously none of these cures have anything to do with logic or science but such crazy stunts have caused wartsto disappear Cons umers Advocate Cut costly fuel bills By JOY WOOLAND Winter is here and this year particularly consumers want to know how to save money on their costly fuel bills Following is list of easy ways to do this in the home Colour television sets often have an instant turnon feature which can use about half the annual total amount of electricity tha your television uses unplug the set when not in use Why dry clothes thoroughly in afityer and then dampen them again to iron Remove thefn from the dryer while they are still damp Tests have shown there is little difference In wasting normally soiled clothes in cold water rather than hot By washing with cold water you can save the expense of heating up 25 gallons of water per cycle Soak those heavi ly soiled clothes overnight before laundering Yes consumers do save money if they turn the lights off even for minute or two and yes we do save if we turn our thermostats down at night Avoid preheating the oven for food that is to be roasted baked or cooked in the oven for more than an hour and when using the oven always bake several foods at one time Pressure cookers will enable consumers to use much less energy Instead of simmering natural grains on top of the stove try putting them in widemouthed thermos ju with the appropriate amount of boiling water and they wil be rady to serve in few hours For those who are fortunate to have one of the new wood stoves make sure that you are burning thoroughly dried hardwoods WARM CLOTHES Lightweight and brightly colored wool garments are the warmest in winter but many consumers fear buying or making these because of the expense of frequent drycleaning However in tub of cold water to which has been added little ammonia any wool skirts sweaters and such like can be easily and effectively washed Energy is saved and thereby costs if the dishes in the automatic dishwasher are allowed to air dry When the final rinse is completed open the door The fluff cycle in clothes dryer should be used whenever possible because it doesnt need heated air Hot water takes the biggest share of our energy budget for our homes next to heating so make use of that hot water wisely Have showers instead of baths insulate the hot water tank and piping and set the water heater ther mostat at 140 Once habit is made of using energy in the home economically consumers soon delight in reduced costs and then the realization that they really are doing their bit in helping to preserve scarce resources Canadians are the highest energyusers in the world fact not to be boasted about Pollys Pointers Ink stains on leather DEAR POLLY wish you would tell me what to do to get ink stains off my leather coat NELLIE DEAR NELLIE Is your coat real leather Some of the vinyls are now so sophisticated that it is very hard to tell them from the real thing If your coat is real leather would take it to cleaner who specializes in leather cleaning If this is impossible you might try rubbing petroleum jelly on the stains then rub off and rub again with damp cloth The petroleum jelly should leave sheen and leather conditioner shouldnt be needed Should ll be required castor oil is good substitute for commer cial leather conditioner If the coat is vinyl that looks like leather cloth dampened with alcohol should remove the spots and would then be followed by one wrung out of clear water Test anything before using POLLY LUCAS KING CALLADINE BALDRY IN
