Henry's Full House" Heloise Car Seat Tags Identify Child Mammogram Pain Is Well Worth It Dear Ann Landers: Several days ago my sister-in-law called to say she had canceled her appointment for a mammogram because she read in Ann Landers' column that with the new equipment, the procedure was very painful. I told her to go back and read that column again. She did and called to say she hadn't read it properly that while some women had said the mammogram was the least bit uncomfortable.

You concluded by telling the readers that the discomfort level depends on the expertise of the technician, also the time of the month. You urged all women to listen to their doctors. Some women should have a mammogram every year, others every second year, depending on age and family history. Now for the rest of the story: This same sister-in-law had the mammogram and reported almost no pain, just a little pressure. Three days later her doctor called to inform her that the mammogram showed a very small mass that never would have with the old equip- individual has his or her own threshold of pain? Some people tell the dentist, "No novocaine," for 15 minutes of drilling.

Others nearly pass out when they have their teeth cleaned. A mammogram with the latest equipment should produce only momentary discomfort in the most sensitive women if done a few days after the menstrual.period by a competent technician. If she goes three days BEFORE her period and the technician is a clunker, I can make no promises. Even under the worst of conditions, it is far better to have the mammogram than to risk breast cancer, which is the greatest killer of under age 55. If you don't the cancer is detected early is 85 and the prognosis is excellent.

I hope you will print my letter so your readers who were frightened of the pain and canceled their appointments will get rescheduled. It could save their lives. BOSTON DEAR BOSTON: Here's your letter and an added word from me: Get with it, ladies. Don't you know that had a mastectomy. She will set you straight This year breast cancer will be discovered in 120,000 women, and it will claim 40,000 lives.

Over 50 percent of breast cancers are discovered only after they have spread to other parts of the body. The survival rate under such conditions is 10 percent. The chance of survival when With these odds it is sheer lunacy not to be checked periodically. Any woman over 50 who hasn't been screened in two years should get on the phone and make an appointment NOW. I know it takes time and you are busy, but I can think of nothing that is more important than this.

Dear Ann Landers: We. hear a lot about Alzheimer's disease these days. So many people are afraid they have it when they can't find their keys or forget the name of their favorite high school teacher who died 20 years ago. I was unable to remember whether I had mailed a letter and was truly depressed when it showed up in the fridge. Ten minutes later I read something that made me laugh.

Will you please share it with your readers: Prescription for a carefree old age: If you can't recall it forget it. H.R.G., DURHAM, N.C. DEAR H.R.G.: Even though I haven't put any mail in the fridge lately, I laughed, too. Thanks for sharing. Dear Ann Landers: I am 21 years old, a fingernail artist in a manicuring salon.

It has taken a great deal of time, care and patience, but I have let my nails grow until each one is 4 1 inches long. I love the exotic look and I take pride in my beautifully manicured and decorated nails. (I use nail art and nail jewelry.) Before you decide I am crazy, let me tell you that two manicurists where I work have nails as long as mine, and I know a manicurist at another salon whose nails on her left hand are 7 inches long. So you can see I am not a freak. In the Los Angeles area, super-long nails are becoming extremely fashionable.

The problem is my parents. Dad says the only reason I have done this is to show disrespect for him. Mom worries that the relatives will think I am a kook. How can I get through to them that the length of my nails is MY business? L.S. IN PASADENA DEAR PASADENA: The DEAR HELOISE: I read your column all the time and, with two small children, I've found many helpful hints.

Mine is for mothers of small ones. I have searched for an answer to identifying them in their car seats in case of an accident. What I did was buy two luggage tags, which I filled in with their names, address, date of birth and phone number. I wrote in on the bottom "in case of emergency." I put the tags around the bottom rung of the car seats. No one can read the information from outside the car.

If I were hurt in an accident and unable to help my children, the police or paramedics would have the vital information. This way they would be identified even if I was injured and happened to be without my purse. Hope this helps. Mom in Ohio We hope that no one will ever have to use these tags but, in case of an emergency, they'd help the police with vital information. Thanks for passing on this important hint.

Heloise Send a great hint to: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, Texas 78279 business, but if you wish to display 10 4-inch claws, be prepared to have people look at you a little funny. It IS different. AND I'm sure you'd be disappointed if nobody noticed, after going to all that trouble. Ann Landers discusses teenage drinking I'M myths, its realities.

PERFUME EVAPORATION Dear Heloise: To solve the problem of evaporation of expensive perfume, I store my favorite fragrance in the refrigerator. The kitchen is my last stop before leaving the house anyway and that cool splash of cologne is refreshing and delightful. Pat; Alba DISHWASHER TRICK Dear Heloise: I have found this idea to be helpful and thought.

I would share it. A dish or two can after the do this, be is still in the Medical Fraud Costs Us Billions Q. For years I have called my readers' attention to the vast amount of money that is wasted by the American people on fraudulent medical practices and quackeries. In a recent congressional report, it was estimated that Americans spend 10 billion dollars each year on fraudulent health products and treatments. Another 10 billion dollars is reportedly spent on unproven diet and nutrition rejuvenating products.

Many social studies are in progress to determine why mature adults fall into the trap of seeking unorthodox techniques for the prevention, and cure of real or imagined illnesses. Far too often, people become impatient with the standard forms of medical practice and run in any direction in an effort to find an immediate answer to their problem. This is the initial step to falling into the trap that eventually is costly both in time and in money. Patients with chronic' illnesses of all kinds are particularly vulnerable to quacks. Families of such patients may IIP filled with a sense of guilt and will often exhaust themselves and their finances to prove to the patients their devotion and interest in their recovery.

Physicians must play an active role in helping to educate patients and in Unlatch the door but do not open it until the spray arms stop spinning. Then open the door and add the dish. Close the door. If there is a latch, you can wait about 30 seconds to latch it to help reduce the amount of moisture that can come from the vent when restarting the cycle. Jackie Green TOY SAFETY Dear Heloise: When purchasing toys for toddlers, think in terms of safety.

Toddlers chew and throw everything, so look for toys that are readily scrubbable or washable. Also avoid playthings with sharp edges or with parts that are small enough to be pulled loose and swallowed. Check age recommendations on toy packaging too. Erma F. BANANA DRINK Dear Heloise: Here is a simple drink I make and thought others would enjoy.

I put a banana in the blender with cold skim or low-fat milk to cover the banana and blend it until it is liquified. I determine the amount of milk by the size of the banana, or to my liking. It is tasty and healthy. Helen Clapp SAVING ENERGY Dear Readers: The Soap and Detergent Association tells us that energy consumption is affected by the way grooming appliances are used. Even though such appliances use very little electricity, it pays to follow these tips: After shampooing, towel dry hair before using a handheld or bonnet dryer.

When using rollers and a dryer, evenly wrap small sections of hair so heat will penetrate more quickly. Never leave a hand-held dryer on or plugged in when not in actual use for safety's sake. Lift and dry small sections of hair at a time. When hair is almost dry, switch to the lower setting. Less air flow and lower temperatures mean less energy is used.

Heloise ALUMINUM FOIL Dear Heloise: Can I use aluminum foil when freezing food? I know some of my friends do but I don't know if it is supposed to be used or not. Candy Samms When you are freezing with aluminum foil you should use the heavyweight type. You can use lightweight for short storage or where there will be a minimum of handling. It should be folded to create an airtight package. Aluminum is a good conductor of heat, which will help the food to freeze and defrost rapidly.

Leg pieces of poultry should be wrapped prior to being placed in foil as they have sharp points that may poke through the foil. No special sealing is necessary as proper folding makes an airtight seal. Heloise 1986 by King Features Syndicate, Inc. 'KING KONG LIVES Shows Dally (P6-U) Drs. Lester L.

Coleman Steven Andrew Davis giving them a better understanding of all aspects of their medical problems. It is a well established fact that when patients fully understand the nature of their illness and the objects of the doctor's treatment, they will be less likely to succumb to the temptation of highly touted and unproved forms of treatment, L.O. Q. My husband has tried everything to get his blood pressure down (pills, diets, I think he needs to get some exercise and that it could help lower his blood pressure. What do.

you think? A. The ability to keep blood pressure down varies a lot depending on the individual, so cannot say what would work best for your husband. But there have been studies which have shown that exercising is a possible way to help reduce blood pressure in some people. An article in the American Journal of Medicine evaluated over 100 people with high blood pressure and put them on a graded and gradually increasing exercise program. Some of these patients were already taking medications to control high blood pressure, others were not.

They were first evaluated to be sure that the exercise program would be safe for them and then started by walking a mile a day and increasing gradually to the point where they could jog two miles a day. The result of this study showed that this Conn of aerobic exercise brought blood pressure down in virtually all the patients in the study group. Two cautions about interpreting studies like this. First, some people with high blood pressure may be at risk if they jump into an exericse program unsupervised, so if there is any question about ability to tolerate increased exercise one should get a doctor's OK first. Secondly, one or even a few studies do not necessarily dictate hard-and-fast treatment rules for ail people for all time, But research like this suggests how potentially helpful exercise can be as part of an overall program for bringing blood pressure down.
