Q. Please let me know
what colitis comes from and
how long it takes to go away
in dogs? -- W.S., Newburgh,
N.Y.
A. Colitis, or inflammation
of the large intestine, is diffi-
cult to diagnose and treat.
Parasites such as whip
worms, bacteria, food aller-
gies, and protozoan para-
sites such as giardiasisare
common causes. In addition,
in older dogs, tumors or po-
lyps can cause symptoms of
colitis.
--'Fecal examinations, bari-
um X-rays, proctoscopy (a
light to look in the rectum)
and special diets help in di-
agnosis. These problems are
managed with antibiotics,
worming agents, anti-in-
flammatory medication and
special diets.
Some dogs will require
continual treatment depend-
ing on the o use of the col-
itis.
Q. We have a small
female poodle who, upon our
return home after 10 min-
utes or all day, jumps until
she starts a sort of honking
sound in her throat.
Our veterinarian says her
throat is all right. We have
tried everything but have
been unable to stop this ac-
tion. Can you help? --

West Covina, Calif.
A. This sounds like col-
lapsing trachea syndrome or
possibly a heart `condition
which worsens wit ex-
ercise. Collapsing trac ea is
annoying. Surgical t eat -
merit is risky and t ee
times daily treatment ma
be inconvenient for spo-
radic condition.
Heart trouble r
prompt diagnosis to ensure
the most favorable outcome
with treatment.

Dear Dorothy: I am criti-
cized for being snobbish. I
want friends, but can't make
them. I feel so left out, and
am not happy. What's the se-
cret of a good personality?

Dear Heidi: A good per-
sonality is no secret. It's
simply a determination to
break down the barrier that
separates you from other
people.
Your vertical writing says
your image is one of cool-
ness, even aloofness and in-
difference. You are trying so
hard to gain the approval of
others that you haveiompha-
sized your own' selffltipor-
tance. It shows up in
ter -than -thou' outw a
pearance, seen in the
tion of the very tall d.
You see, Heidi, it'S mot'
that you consciously feel this
way. It's simply that ,;you
have developed this defenie
to escape the glare of reali-
ty.
You've been- hurt a lot,
seen in the large d loop.
Maybe you have met with
sharp criticism, too much or
too often. Maybe you . have
been made to feel "wrong"
too many times. Or maybe
you have not -felt loved.
Whatever the happenings,
you are now compensating
through self -approval. You
are basking in self -praise, in-
stead of radiating effective
accomplishment to bring
about the praise of others.
A good personality is not
accidental. It is something
you create and develop. But
it must include this import-
ant ingredient. What you do
must be done to help and
please others, even though
there is some sacrifice to
you, in the doing.
To make friends and to be
a part of the action, you
have to detach excessive
thoughts from yourself so
that you can be free to un-
derstand and 1oVe others.
That's the first big act for
a happy Heidi.
St. John Ambulance says
when you coine on the scene
of a road accident, the first
thing you do is protect the
scene to prevent further da-
mage. Work quickly to locate
all victims and assess in-
juries. The first attention
should go to stopped breath-
ing, severe bleeding and un-
consciousness.

In today's story, Cucumber gets into
trouble for stealing.
A few days later, Eggplant rushes over
to find Radish. "Come quickly,". he says.
Radish follows quickly behind Egg-
plant. Soon they see everyone standing
around Tomato, who is crying.
"It was my best hat, and Cucumber
stole it. Bully Cucumber is so mean,"
she says.
"Let's tell Mr. Cabbage," says Onion.
"He'll know what to do."
"Yes, let's," cry Pea and Bean to-
gether.
"I have a better idea," says Radish.
"Let's find Cucumber and beat him up
ourselves."
"Yeah! We'll give him some of his own
medicine," adds Tomato, starting to feel
better already.
Everyone agrees except Onion. "Isn't
there a better way?" he asks.
"No," they say. Then they all march
off to find Cucumber, with Radish
leading the way. Onion doesn't go
along. He has learned his lesson. This
time he isn't going to be pushed into
doing something he feels is wrong.
Cucumber is sitting by the pond
watching Tomato's hat float on the
water. "It makes a great sailboat," says
Cucumber to himself.
"Shhh," Radish whispers. "We'll
creep up on him and push him in the
water."
Slowly, they move in on Cucumber.
"Charge," Radish screams. Cucum-
ber is hurled in the air before he knows
what is going on. He hits the water with
a mighty splash. "Hooray, hooray,".
everyone cries. Tomato and Eggplant
dance with joy.
Cucumber sits in the pond, dazed and
confused.
"Give Tomato back the hat," orders
Radish. Cucumber refuses. Potato picks
up a big stick and waves it at Cucumber..
"Give back the hat," they all shout to-
gether. "The hat! The hat!"
Cucumber gives up. He throws the hat
to the side of the pond. Radish picks it
up in triumph. "We've won!" he cries.
"We've beaten Cucumber."
They all march off, holding the hat up
high.
"What a victory," says Radish
proudly.
