Recently, I received a call
from a former patient stay
ing in Salt Lake City. who
asked excitedly. Did you
know that you are quoted in
Ian Fleming's new mystery
book, Gilt Edged BondS?' I'm
sending you a copy. Turn
to page 81 in the story,
Doctor No."
When it arrived, I turned
to this famous English
writer's story. I quote:
There had been a note
Of criticism in Sir James
Molony's voice. M said
abruptly, Ever hear of man
called Steincrohn-Dr. Peter
Steincrohn?'
NO, who's hep
American doctor. Written
a book my Washington peo-
pie sent over for our library.
This man talks about how
much punishment the human
body can put up with. Gives
a list of the bits Of the body
an average man can do with
out. Matter of fact, I copied
it out for future reference.
Care to hear the list?'
IN dug into his coat
pocket and put some letters
and scraps of paper on the
desk in front of him. With
his left hand he selected a
piece of paper and unfolded

the silence continued at the

There was a reluctant

all of them"
LET ME TELL you what
brought on my sudden in

character in a famous mys-
terry book. 1t was this letter
received this morning:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: This
is for your readers who may
be very nervous and afraid
that they are going to die.
I hope that you can find
space to tell them just how

this because I know that
other mothers are having the
same problem. AS three-year-
olds watch TV commercials,
they see children their own
ages writing on walls and
spilling ink all over only to
be Rugged by their mother
because she knows how to
clean it up in two seconds!
Abby, children initiate what
they see. One little boy was
shown in his ring-bearer's
suit making mud pies and
his mother just smiled and
went into a commercial about
a detergent. What can we. do
about this menace?
VICTIM.
The companies which ad-
vertise these products are in

Write them that If they con-
tinue to portray such bad
examples for your children,
you are going to watch tele-
vision less and enjoy 1t more.
DEAR ABBY: I was raised
in a family where the father
did all the furnishing. My
mother never laid a hand on
us, but we sure got it from
our father when she reported
that we had it coming. Now
that I'm a mother, I follow
the same method, but my
husband says I am wrong.
He says if a child needs
punishment, I should do it on
the spot and not wait for him
to do it when he comes home.
Do you think a mother should
have this unpleasant duty
added to her busy day?

The Boss lounged deep in
his chair. The bottle green
suit and the long crossed legs
made him look like a sporty
grasshopper. He was 80. No
one cared. Forty years ago,
hundreds of voters would
have stood in line to con-
graduate him on his BIRTH
day. Now, only Old Charlie
made the pilgrimage.
The Boss was az his sum-
mer palace. Normally. the
place was full Of buffers and
maids. In honor Of his S0th
anniversary, the Boss had
given all hands the day off.
He could afford to be gen.
erous. He had outlived all his
enemies and all his friends.
He had even outlived his con-
science although, like q good
gambler, he donated money
to all churches in case one
of them should turn out to be
right.
OLD CHARLIE sat straight
in his white wrought iron
chair. He had always been at
attention in the presence OF
the Boss and he would not
d. relax now. In the old days
Charlie had been the boss
bag man: all payoffs went
through his hands. He had
in fact, become wealthy on
the 3 per cent he was per-
mitted to keep.

Of the table top. I'm sure it's
obvious why patience is such
an important Ingredient
Lastly, give the entire table
top a good polishing. And
chances are that with reason
able care in your work, you'll
be quite astonished at your
efforts to camouflage the
damage. In fact, you may
even challenge others to find
where the original damage
was.
Removing White Ring
Similarly, the white rings
left by wet glasses, or the
white spot left by a too-hot
dish, require more patience
than hard work. And the
sooner you get at the job.
the easier the cleaning will
be.
Pour a few drops Of cam
phorated oil, available at any
drugstore, on the stain. Then,
using either your thumb or
a small bit of felt from an
old hat, gently rub in a Cir
cular motion, and generally
following the grain of the
wood as much as possible.
After a while, the white
mark should start to fade.
But if it doesn't you can
safely help speed up the proc
eSs by adding an exceedingly
fine abrasive, such as a small
pinch of powdered rotten
stone or pumice. If Papa
smokes cigars, some Of the
ashes will even serve.
Being careful not to use
much pressure, you'll find
that this gentle, patient mini
stration will remove the white
stain without dulling the var
nish appreciably. But an
overall polishing will take
care of that, and the whole
table top (or piano. will re-
gain its pristine appearance.
Spot Sproy
In our house, we have a
fairly ancient settee along
one of our dining room walls,
which my wife refinished
with a light stain and clear
plastic spray. Any white
marks left on this settee by a
guests wet glass is a cinch to
erase; she simply gives it a
quick spot spraying with more
of the clear pastic, and the
ring disappears.
Hoping it doesn't happen,
but suppose a nice dish has
a lip broken off. or even is
broken in two or three pieces.
OF it's real humpty dumpty,
it's really not worth the ef-
fort to try piecing it to-
gether.) Using one of the
transparent all-purpose CLUES
or the clear epoxy cement,
and working with one piece
at a time. you can very often
restore the dish to serviceable
condition.
If it's white, of course, even
a tiny thin crack will show
up a little. But for colored
or patterned china-and any

pottery you can often do an
amazingly unnoticeable re-
pair which will have ample
strength.
Chewing Gum
Chewing gum trodden
down and hardened on a car
pet can be removed without
much trouble. First hold an
ice cube on it to make it as
brittle as possible, then dig
up all you can with a dull
kitchen knife. The sticky re-
mainder can then be re-
moved by patient wiping with
clean cloths and carbon "tet."
Even some burns can be re-
moved from a carpet, If
they're not down clear
through to the backing. In
this case, it's definitely a re-
pair project for a professional
cleaner. Incidentally, don't
try to bleach it out, unless
you test the bleach on a
small inconspicuous area to
be sure it won't damage the
fibers.
But If the burn is really
only a light brown SINCE
pretty much on the top of
the nap, carefully shipping
off the burned tops of the
fibers with sharp nail scis-
sors gets rid of the mark in
short order, and, surprisingly,
doesn't leave a conspicuous
depression.
Please, friends, don't let
the impression dawn on you
that I believe your parties,
and the parties we OCCASION
ally have in our house, in
variably require all these re-
pairs afterwards! But once
in a while little accidents
do happen. and not neces-
Sarily when others are helping
you while away the evening.
And at times like these, it's
nice to know how to cope
with them.
AS a final suggestion: Be-
fore surveying the house for
possible after-party misfor-
tunes, have a good break
fast. Somehow, a lusty cup
of coffee makes everything
seem bright and easier to
take, even a repair job!

two puffed-up areas, about
Ia inches wide, appeared be-
tween sink and table. I
checked in the basement and
can find no reason for them;
I'm afraid our high heels will
punch a hole in them. What
do you suggest?
Answer: Dampness through
the floor. from beneath, may
loosen linoleum and form
puffed-up areas. Is your
basement reasonably dry and
well-ventilated?
Make a slit through the
center Of the bulged areas,
using a hnoleum knife or
razor blade. If possible, fol-
low a pattern outline to make
the cut inconspicuous. Then
work cement under the raised
linoleum, with a thin spat-
ula or screwdriver; press the
linoleum down and keep
heavy weights on it until the
cement dries. Wipe up any
excess cement Immediately;
if allowed to set and harden,
it is almost impossible to re-
move.

With the charred area
Scraped and bleached (if
necessary clean, make it
stain smooth with finest
grade sandpaper or steel wool.
Wipe it clean with turpentine,
and then touch up the bare
wood with stain, to match
the color of the rest of the
table top.
Now comes a series of steps
that require a small artists
brush. a little water-clear
varniSh. and considerable pa
tience. For it's here that you
start filling the depression.
When the stain has dried,
and you're satisfied as to the
color match, you brush on a
thin coat of varnish.
You let this coat dry
thoroughly. then sand it
lightly. Another thin coat
follows, as well as another
sanding when dry. The sand
ing is to cut the gloss slightly,
in order to give the next
coat of varnish a better bond
Continue this process, add
ing one thin coat over an
other. until you have actually
filled up the depression. and

Even the most sedate party
can leave its marks, uninten-
tional but very definite. Often
they're not noticed until Sum-
day morning.
This is offered in the spirit
OF encouragement If dis
maying party souvenirs are
discovered in the morning
such as where a lighted Gig
arctic has fallen unnoticed
from the aShtray and burned
for most of its length on a
handsomely vanished table
top. or a white ring is now
showing up On the piano
where a wet glass was set
down.
Most of the time, these look
much worse than they really
are, because you actually can
make them invisible, or so
very nearly it will take a
sharp eye indeed to spot the
repair.
Let's start with the dis
couraging charred depression
left by the cigarette. Object
is twofold: To erase the black
mark. and to fill the depres-
sion. So you start by very
gently Scraping the burned
area with a razor blade, and
the chances are good you'll
have to scrape down through
the finish and into the wood
itself before all the burn is
off.
If the burn has worked
into the wood so deeply you'd
have to deepen the depres-
sion still further, stop scrap
ing and dab on wood bleach.
Let me add that while you're
scraping, hold the razor blade
so a corner won't skid and
make a scratch, because that
will only be something else to
cope with,
