Inc. DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend Betty. (fictitious name} was so beautiful a few years ago that when she walked down the streets heads would turn. She still has a beautiful face, but she must have gained about 60 pounds. Maybe 75. . Betty has tried Weight Watchers, Tops and Overeaters Anonymous but she never stayed with any of them. She's also been to doctors who have put her on special dicts, pills, shots, etc. Nothing worked. ; Yesterday Batty told me she went to a fantastic doctor who specializes in weight reduction, He charged her $100 to weigh her, take her blood pressure and tell her he couldn’t take her because she didn’t weigh enough! He said he treats only extremely obese people, and she will have to gain at least 15 pounds before he can teke her. Can you believe this? So now Betty is eating up a storm so this doctor will take her, What do you make of this? “CYNICAL FRIEND DEAR FRIEND: I think Betty is a compulsive overeater who has found the perfect excuse to continue eating for a. while, And I can’t believe that a legitimate physician would tell an obese person to gain weight to qualify for a weight-reduction program. DEAR ABBY: I recently moved near Arlington Cemetery. A friend of mine, who lives in another town, asked me to please visit her nephew's grave in Arlington Cemetery and say a prayer for him. I told her I would be glad to, but here's the problem: Her nephew died in action and his body was never recovered, _My friend tells me that her nephew's grave has a headstone with his name and the usual information on it. Abby, can a headstone be on a grave without a body interred? I think it would be sheer hypocrisy to say a prayer for someone who isn’t there, If you think I’m wrong, J'll visit his grave and say a prayer. . AFRIEND DEAR FRIEND: If a serviceman's body has never heen recovered, a memorial marker can be placed in a special, separate section of the cemetery. Visit the nephew's grave and say a prayer. You will be praying for his soul—not his DEAR ABBY: Will you please straighten out the “John Smith Jr.” and “John Smith II" confusion? My wife wants to name our son after me, and she insists _ that he will be “John Smith II.” I say he will be “John Smith Jr.” I kmow I’m right, but I don't know under what circumstances a child becomes “the IT." Can you help me? JOHN SMITH DEAR JOHN: A man with the identical name as his "father is called “Jr.” as Jong as his father is alive. He may @rop the “Jr.” after his father’s death, or if he prefers, he may retain it to avoid being confused with his late father. When a boy is named after his father who IS a “Jr.," he ia called “Ord.” A boy who is named after his grandfather, uncle or cousin becomes “the 2nd." There can only be one “Jr." in the family.

The Cryptoquip is a simple substitution cipher in which each letter used stands for another. If you think that X equals 0, it will equal Q throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words, and words using an apostrophe can give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is accomplished by trial and error. nee KVFUI; RETRIEVING DOGS — An invaluable hunting partner, the retriever’s keen sense of smell and his ability to cover rough terrain are also effective in finding waterfowl nests and capturing flightless waterfowl for research work. Recently these four- legged conservationists have been employed in helping to contre! contagious disease outbreaks: by . removing dead and dying birds, thereby reducing sources of infection to healthy birds in the marsh. Retrieving dogs perform dual roles in waterfowl conservation by reducing crippling loss in hunting and aiding in waterfow! management programs.
