Third, avoid the classic overindulgences associated with holidays such as Christmas and Easter, weddings and other social events because the rich foods served on these occasions often provoke acute attacks of gout. As for more specific dietary recommendations, individuals with gout are usually advised to avoid nigh-purine foods, which include organ meats, mussels, anchovies, sardines, meat extracts, yeast, gravies, fish roe and herring.

They also should use sparingly foods containing moderate amounts of urines, such as meat, fish, poultry, eans, peas, lentils and spinach. In addition, a diet low in fat and high in carbohydrate appears to pro O. Could vou please discuss the latest dietary treatment of gout? A. While drugs now play the major role in the treatment of gout, a variety of dietary measures also may help to keep the disease under control. As you Know, gout is a hereditary disorder caused by a genetic defect that increases the levels of uric acid in the body.

Weight loss may (although not always) restore blood and urinary levels of uric acid to normal, ft should be emphasized, however, that a well-planned weight reduction program is particularly important for gouty individuals since crash dieting can provoke gouty attacks. Second, alcohol should be used sparingly because it may lead to know what ingredients are used to make mayonnaise, one of the many items now covered by the standards of identity. Moreover, many new variations of standardized foods are available, with ingredients often unfamiliar to the average consumer. In addition, a variety of allergic sensitivities and other disorders have been recognized that require rigid diets. For these reasons, the Food and Drug Administration has urged food manufacturers, processors and distributors to give consumers a complete ingredients lists on all foods including these covered by standards of identity.

Until the law is changed, we urge food manufacturers to voluntarily provide this important information. may make It clearer. The standards of identity were set up in 1938 under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Until then, consumers had little recourse against highly competitive and unscrupulous food manufacturers and processors who regularly sacrificed quality to cut costs and increase profits. The standards of identity defined exactly what was to be included in a specific product and helped eliminate poor "second cousins" that bore little resemblance to the foods they imitated.

At the time these standards were established, however, consumers produced many basic foods at home and were quite familiar with ingredients necessary to make them. This is no longer true. For example, how many people really and Dr. Johanna Dwyer such protein may favor purine production, total protein is often limited. Finally, ample fluids help to prevent the formation of kidney stones and a buildup of uric acid.

Of course, if you have gout, be sure to check with your doctor about just what dietary modifications he feels you need to make. Q. In answering a recent question you noted that labels on foods for which there is a standard of identity need not carry an ingredients list. I don't understand the logic behind this.

It is, of course, a meal in itself and the success of the dish depends to a large part on how rich, fresh and strong flavored the chicken broth is when it is added to the chicken and vegetables. This dish, plus fruit and cheese, would be an ample meal for a late spring or summer evening.

NEW YORK During my tenure as chef at Le Pavilion Restaurant, it almost goes without saying that the clientele that passed through those doors was both international and celebrated.

It also goes without saying that the owner, Henri Soule, held some of his customers in higher esteem than others. The gentleman was inclined a natural inclination to pamper those of whom he was particularly fond, whether it was a matter of seating or a complimentary bottle of champagne. His solicitude and care were never more apparent than when those whom he particularly like andor admired were hospitalized. He was known by that small segment of his clientele for the Pavilion's Poule au Pot, or chicken in the pot. He hated hospital food himself, and whenever he ascertained that a favored guest, temporarily indisposed, was well enough to eat, he would dispatch his movable feast to the patient's bedside and not without ceremony.

THE KITCHEN WOULD be charged with adding a whole, small chicken to an earthenware crock and over it was ladled a piping hot, rich and nourishing broth containing carrots, celery, turnips, leeks ana rice. It was not so much the healing powers of the dish that spurred him on. Poule au Pot also happened to be one of the dishes on which he personally preferred to dine. In any event, the chicken and broth in the crock would be covered closely with the lid and a tablespoon tied on top of it. A personal note would be added, addressed to such people as John Kennedy, Margaret Truman, Cole Porter, the Duchess of Windsor and so on.

For clients of this caliber he would send Martin Deere, Soule's second and right-hand man in the dining room, to see to the small but important details of carving the chicken and serving the broth while it was still steaming. AT ITS BEST, Poule au Pot is an excellent dish and certainly one of the easiest to prepare, simply a Way You Prefer. I 73" Contemporary Sofa reg. 1 175 Sale 825 8 to 12-lb.

Quit being a martyr! GO out when you feel like it and LEARN to turn a deaf ear when she yells at you. Start to make it up to yourself for all the time you've lost for your own life's fulfillment.

3. Get a lawyer. Consult the legal aid society (listed in the phone book) and see what arrangements can be made for you and your brother (the rat!) to share costs for your mothers care. See if he can be forced to reimburse you for past costs. Your mother is HIS problem, too.

Ten years before, she promised her father she would always take care of "Mother." Now she is being driven crazy by constant nagging, financial trouble (gets 246 a month Social Security), no friends and she hates everybody.

Check the phone book under Food Stamps. Fourth: You need to know how to present your mother's needs to your brother. Even a small monthly amount would be a great help.
