SUZZETTE HAACK, SAN DIEGO at frequently having to ask for assistance to get to my feet, I developed a self-help trick: When going out of the house, I carry a tote bag containing two firm cushions. The cushions raise any seat four to five inches. lean use these cushions on the seats of cars and on chairs in offices and restaurants, and I cherish the independence they afford me. Perhaps some other "mobility impaired" readers will find this helpful until the furniture designers come to our aid.

Movie: DeepStar Six (1989) Taurean Blacque Betore Sunrise 'Hunchback' could have staying power Associated Press LOS ANGELES With mixed reviews and warnings that this is not necessarily a movie for tots, Disney's G-rated "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" rang up $21 million in receipts on its first weekend, falling short of the mark set by "Pocahontas" last year and "The Lion King" in 1994. It was still a decent showing for a kid picture, coming in second behind the big-gun action movie "Eraser," which had a $24.6 million debut in the weekend box office.

"There were expectations it would bring in $25 million. This opening is a little soft, mainly because of tough competition from said Jill Krutick, an entertainment industry analyst at Smith Barney in New York. Additionally, the "Hunchback" audience is generally youngsters who get in for half-price or attend bargain matinees. "We're very happy because the exit polls are very strong and there's not another family film throughout the summer," said Terry Curtin, a Disney spokeswoman. Still, "Hunchback" earnings were considerably lower than the $30.5 million gross for last year's debut weekend for "Pocahontas" and the $40.8 million opening for "The Lion King." Curtin noted "The Lion King" and "Pocahontas" didn't have to compete with other new movies on its opening weekend.

"The Disney summer franchise is not about to be wiped out by one weekend of battle with Arnold Schwarzenegger," said Paine Webber media analyst Chris Goren bridge Omar Sharif Tannah Hirsch Don't trust your eyes Both vulnerable.

It is frequently cited, I know, when nosebleeds are discussed. Blood pressure does not cause such bleeding. High blood pressure can, however, make a bleed more profuse than it otherwise would be. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What would make a tongue feel hot? I am a 60-year-old man.

I take vitamin B-12 shots for it. No change yet. F.M. ANSWER: In a post-menopausal woman, you would look first to hormone factors. In a man, you'd look for deficiencies of vitamins, particularly of B-12.

A B-12 deficiency can really foul up nerve transmission, producing burning sensations. The sensitive tongue tissue would be a likely spot. Relief from B-12 shots would confirm that diagnosis. Be patient, for relief usually does not come immediately. Damaged nerves take time to come around.

Have you kept track of your diet so you can identify a trigger? 0 1996 North America Syndicate Inc. All Rights Reserved Dr. Paul G. Donohue To your health Hiss Folding Tables 30x60 30x72 $5900 DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Some time ago, you answered a letter from a reader with achalasia, the problem of a constricted, malfunctioning esophagus I mentioned it to my doctor, since I have been having the symptoms you listed, including difficulty swallowing.

I was informed that achalasia is a psychological problem in the head, I guess you would say. I don't believe that, and I'd' like your view. Have views on achalasia changed? You treated achalasia as a real illness, so far as I can recall. I need some enforcement on this matter. T.B.

ANSWER: Achalasia is a clearly defined dysfunction of the esophagus, and it interferes in a very real way with normal passage of food to the stomach. Somehow, nerve control has been lost. A frequent companion problem involves the esophogeal sphincter, a stout muscle arrangement that guards the esophagus-stomach gateway. The sphincter sometimes lapses into erratic behavior, resulting in an uncomfortable situation for example, food lodgment and stomach-acid backup. It can happen at any time and involve all foods, even liquids.

It's painful. You can confirm the reality of achalasia with X-rays taken after you swallow a horrible chalky liquid called "barium contrast." Special devices permit measurement of the esophagus pressures typical of achalasia. Dilation of the sphincter or surgery to open the lower area of the esophagus tube are popular treatments. Medicines also are used for that purpose. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

Confirm achalasia first with tests. July 4th Deadlines mm at uur onice win oe closed on Thursday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day. Retail Classified Display DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What lies behind recurring nosebleeds? A.B. ANSWER: I can'tmatchyourbrev-ity, for the answers are many and varied some obvious, some not so obvious; some serious, some readily corrected.

Certain straightforward physical forces cause nosebleeds. They include childhood nostril exploration, excessive rubbing, stentorian sneezes and explosive blowing. Long exposure to excessively dry air makes people more vulnerable to such forces. One answer is a special nasal spray to keep linings moist. A light coating of petrolatum inside the lower nostrils can help.

I am sure you know of the more-involved problems. Clotting difficulty, for example, can precipitate easy bleeding. Are you an aspirin user? That can play a blood-thinning role. I must mention what might seem to be a jarring, if unlikely, cause: tumor. A rare tumor, juvenile nasospharyngeal angiofibroma, should be looked for in children who have recurring nosebleeds.

Opening lead: Three of lilt does not always pay to win a ick when it is offered. A simple boldup play combined with a dash of daring worked wonders for East-West on this deal. North-South were using weak no-frump opening bids, which accounts jr North choice for the initial sal-qo. The raise to two no trump was flivitational and South, with a maximum, had no problem in going on to game. led a spade, won in the tjbsed hand with the jack.

A heart the nine was allowed to hold, and Wclarer returned to hand with the age of spades to repeat the heart fihesse, and the ten won as East Sicked again. With no convenient way to get to Quid, declarer led the king of diamonds, and continued with the queen after East held off one round and West dropped the ten. East took the ace this time and dummy's nine was promoted to a trick when the jack dropped. East continued with a diamond, setting up the eight in hand. Declarer now thought there were 10 tricks without the club finesse two spades, four hearts with the help of a third finesse, two diamonds and two clubs.

So South cashed the king of clubs, returned to hand with the ace to see whether the queen would drop, then took the 'marked' heart finesse for the over-tfick. A delighted East scored the king, then cashed the eight of diamonds and 9 of clubs for a one-trick set. We don't want to take anything away from East's defense, but South missed an alternative way to assure 10 tricks. Instead of cashing the King of clubs, declarer should have come to hand with the ace and led a spade toward the Queen. As the cards lie, a surprised South now emerges with two overtricks! replication uate Deadline July 3rd June 27th, 2:30 pm July 4th Fit, July 5th July 6th July 7th July 8th Neighbors (July 6th edition) Fit, June 28th, 2:30 pm July 1st, 2:30 pm July 2nd, 2:30 pm July 2nd, 2:30 pm July 3rd, 2:30 pm July 1st, 2:30 pm Walnut Top, Brown Legs 7200 Series 5 Year Warranty Good Thru June 30, 1996 Classified In Column Line Ad Publication Pate Deadline July 4th July 3rd, 2:30 pm July 5th July 3rd, 2:30 pm 6th July 5th, 2:30 pm July 7th July 5th, 2:30 pm July 8th July 5th, 2:30 pm Watch For Details on Our The Rock 7:00 9:45 (R) Mat.
