You can reduce the chance of a holiday burglary

burglaries, says' one area law enforcement

Apparently he s right, because area police
report about Twice the number of residence
-burglaries during the preholiday season as they
normally work
. But it s not just that thieves proliferate during
the holiday season. John Dupree maintains
) our chances of having more items stolen is
what it amounts to ** .
- Because of that, the Lewisville police captain
stresses holiday burglary prevention but says
it's just as important year round

blisters. Couldn't this be harm
ful to him? — Mrs. i.a, vi
Dear Mrs. M.:—---——-
1 don't know why your
husband hasn’t injured himself
long before this. The delicate
lining of the mouth, the
esophagus, and the stomach can
definitely be burned by ex-
cessively hot liquids
This lining is certainly more
sensitive than the skin which, as
you know, can be burned by
excessive boat
The mouth does play some
role in adjusting to hot fluids,
but it is unreasonable to expect
it to protect itself completely
from such self-imposed abuse
I’m slowly, or maybe even
rapidly, beginning to lose my
sanity I love the man I’m
married to, but real stand his
nightly symphony of snoring
. noises I’m up half the night
while he to blissfully snoring,
unaware of the racket he’s
making. Are there any devices
or suggestions that can help
him, or better still, me? — Mrs.

Dear Mrs G
__The Triple S" club has
members in all geographic
areas and all social circles One
of my readers calls this group
the Snoring Spouse Society."
Like your husband, most
members sleep soundly through
their symphonic cacophony,
innocent aa babes of the distress
they’re causing their captive
. audiences
Unless there la -obvious
disease such as nasal polype or
severe allergies, or in children,
large adenoids, snoring la
usually due to the relaxation of
the muscles of the jaw, the
tongue, the palate and the
throat during sleep
After all possible medical
caused are eliminated one must
resort to any one of the simple
anti-snoring devices that have
been devised The most com-
mon one is a chin strap with an
elastic band worn over the
head In many instances, this
has been effective
In most cities there are “sleep
shops." Some these have
ingenious products that are
worth a try

“The solution to that is to leave the key in the

He advises residents who invest in outdoor
lighting to consider not whether it will make
their house look attractive but whether it will
make access points visible from the street,
reducing the possibility of burglars lurking in
dark corners to gain entry. -
Also, he said,-when residents go out they
should leave a light and a radio on, and notify
police when they'll be gone for a longer period
than a few hours
