You should be rather lucky in the year
ahead where your work or career is con-
cerned. You might not get everything on
your wish list, yet you won’t be unhappy
with the rewards you reap that are the
fruits of your labors.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The insights
you’ll get today regarding matters that
have a bearing on your career should be
rather revealing. However, they won’t
do you any good if they are ignored.
Know where to look for romance and
you’ll find it. The Astro-Graph Match-
maker instantly reveals which signs are
romantically perfect for you. Mail $2 to
Matchmaker, c/o this newspaper, P.O.
Box 91428, Cleveland, OH 44101-3428.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Today you
might figure out a way to help a friend
who is on a wrong track without calling
it to the attention of other pals. Your
discretion will be appreciated.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Without be-
ing either arrogant or argumentative,
demand that which is due you today. If
you are firm and persistent there’s a
possibility you may get even more than
you expected.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your judgment is
reliable today. You should be able to
see beyond your nose and to view
things, not only as they are, but also as
they could and should be.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be
a bit luckier than usual today, especially
in situations that pertain to your career
or where joint ventures are concerned.
You may be fortunate in both.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Librans usual-
ly do well in their partnership arrange-
ments and this should be true of you to-
day. However, casual alliances could
prove to be more beneficial than estab-
lished ones.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Even
though you are an imaginative and cre-
ative person, today you may be involved
with individuals whose ideas are superi-
or to yours, at least at this point in time.
Be observant.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You
are what you think you are today. If you
feel you are going to be lucky, you prob-
ably will be. If you think you want to
move a mountain, go home and get
your shovel.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) When
shopping for items for your household
today, don’t deviate from the price you
have in mind. You can find what you
want, but you might have to look a little
harder.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You may
not feel comfortable about life today if
your thinking is limited or down scaled.
Be mentally daring. Remember, you are
the only one who can put restrictions on
your thoughts.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Financial
trends tend to favor you today. Even if
you have to contend with some ups and
downs, you are still likely to come out
on the plus side.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) In order to
further your personal ambitions today it
isn’t essential to have everyone in your
corner. The right few key people will be
all that it takes.

Vitamin C gets an A for freezing fruit
By Polly Fisher
who wish to pack their frozen or
canned fruit without it. You can also
DEAR POLLY — My freezer guide find a very pure crystalline form of
says that when you freeze peaches, ascorbic acid in many drug stores and
you should add an ascorbic acid solu- some supermarkets. Finally, you can
tion along with sugar. What form of use ordinary vitamin C tablets sold at
ascorbic acid should I use and what is every vitamin counter in supermar-
the strength of the solution? — kets, drug stores and variety stores.
NORMA When using a pre-mixed product
DEAR NORMA — Ascorbic acid is such as “Fruit Fresh,” follow the
nothing more nor less than vitamin C, product label directions. My own
and you may use it in whatever form freezing directions, in my newsletter
you can find it. The easiest way to use “Freezing Fruits and Vegetables.”
it for canning is to purchase a product specify the quantity of crystalline
such as “Fruit Fresh,” which is sold in ascorbic acid to be dissolved in a spe-
most supermarkets. However, such cific quantity of water.
products usually contain sugar, and When using vitamin C tablets,
that may not be desirable for those which may contain less ascorbic acid
by volume that the crystalline pow-
der, you must convert quantities as
follows: For each teaspoon of ascor-
bic acid called for, use 3,000 milli-
grams of vitamin C. It makes sense to
buy the largest dosage available —
500 or 1,000 milligram tablets. Then
simply crush the correct amount and
dissolve in water as directed.
My own recipe for packing peaches
with sugar is as follows: Wash, peel,
pit and halve or slice peaches. Mix
peaches with % cup sugar and % tea-
spoon ascorbic acid dissolved in %
cup water per quart. Pack in freezer
containers, seal, label and freeze.

Using cortisone for the optic nerve
By Peter H. Gott, M.D.
DEAR DR. GOTT: A family mem-
ber has asthma. In one column, you
said that inhaling cortisone for asth-
ma can bypass some of the unpleasant
side effects. Would cortisone be a pos-
sible treatment for someone with an
infection of the optic nerve who is
treated orally with large doses of ste-
roids and suffers all the side effects?
DEAR READER: Inhaled cortisone
is a valuable method of preventing
asthma. As a general rule, inhaled
steroids, of which cortisone is one, ex-
ert a local effect — in this case, di-
rectly on smaller breathing passage-
ways to release spasm — and are not
absorbed in quantity into the body.
This is one of their advantages be-
cause cortisone and similar drugs
(prednisone) will cause serious side
effects when given systemically (by
pill or injection).
By inhaling the drug from a hand-
held spray container, asthma patients
often achieve substantial benefits
without the dangerous consequences,
such as diabetes, bone brittleness,
cataracts and susceptibility to
infection.
Since inhaled cortisone is not ab-
sorbed into the body, it is useless in
treating optic neuritis, an inflamed
nerve in the eye. Sometimes steroid
eye drops can be used for ocular dis-
eases, but the optic nerve is well-pro-
tected at the back of the eyeball, so
oral cortisone is usually more
appropriate.

ing you a copy of my Healt' Report
“Consumer Tips on Medicines. Other
readers who would like a copy should

dress to P.O. Box 91369, Cleveland,
OH 44101-3369. Be sure to mention
the title.
DEAR DR. GOTT: A friend in Scot-
land has been suffering from Cox-
sackie disease for two years. Actual-
ly, many people in the same town
have contracted it. Can you explain
the cause and cure?
DEAR READER: There are about
30 types of Coxsackie viruses and
they cause a spectrum of diseases, in-
cluding sores in the mouth, meningi-
tis, paralysis, heart inflammation,
rash, lung infection and intestinal
upset.
Coxsackie ailments are more com-
mon in summer and autumn, are
spread from human to human and are
untreatable with antibiotics or other
drugs.
Fortunately, most people with Cox-
sackie infection experience mild flu-
like symptoms and recover
uneventfully.
Infection with one type of Coxsack-
ie virus does not grant immunity to
future infection with that strain or
any of the others. Therefore, people
who are exposed to the virus may
have repeated, cyclical problems, es-
pecially if the source is in a close-knit
town or community.
