Guy Madison, Dear Abby: My husband underwent multiple bypass surgery a year ago, and he's rapidly falling back into his old habits of working too long and too strenuously. I'm afraid he is soon going to be back to the state of health he was in when he got that heart attack. He is in his late 50s and is still a workaholic.

He is holding down two full-time jobs and, being the perfectionist he is, he tries to excel at both. Forget exercise. He has a stationary bicycle at the foot of his bed that he's had for two years, and it's as good as new. The reason I'm writing is that some of my friends have told me that you had a poem in your column titled "Slow Me Down, Lord," and I would like to get a copy so I can have it blown up and framed and hung over his desk. He has promised that if I get it for him, he will read it every day and try to slow down.

Please? "Skeeter" in South Carolina Dear The poem was written by Wilferd A. Peterson, and I hope your husband can slow down long enough to read it. And here it is: SLOW ME DOWN, LORD Slow me down, Lord! Ease the pounding of my heart By the quieting of my mind. Steady my harried pace With a vision of the eternal reach of time. Give me, Amidst the confusions of my day, The calmness of the everlasting hills.

'R' 9040004 I i Diane Freeland Is medicine causing taste disorder? DR. GOTT My husband and I once took a vacation to Colorado where I accidentally locked both sets of car keys in the trunk, and we had to call a locksmith. Therefore, on the next trip, my husband took an extra set of keys "just in case." One night, we pulled into our campsite late. David decided to use the air pump, which plugged into the lighter, to blow up the mattress inside the car so we wouldn't disturb anyone. He started putting up the tent, and I got something out of the car.

Out of habit, I hit the lock before shutting the door. David looked at the air mattress getting bigger in the car and then looked at me. "Where are your keys?" he asked as calmly as he could. "In my purse in the car," I replied while backing slowly away. "Where are yours?" "In my jacket in the car," he snarled.

"Both sets?" I asked while trying to keep a straight face. When he answered in the affirmative, it became impossible not to laugh. I bit my cheeks and furrowed my brow, but it was no use. Every time I looked at that air mattress, a laugh would escape, and he would glare at me. I finally had to go off by myself until I got most of the laughter out of my system.

Last week I said I'd explain how to add humor to Christmas newsletters. In the story I just related, I told about an outrageously awful (and stupid) thing that I'd done, but in which no real harm was done. Those can be wonderful stories to include in your newsletter. Another way is to exaggerate things a little bit. One way to do this, believe it or not, is with a simile.

In describing your Dr Peter Gott J3L young teen-age son, you could say, "Our Rick is now as tall as a bull moose, and he eats as much as one does too." Or, "I got a new perm last month, and now I look like I sing backup for The Grateful Dead." Also, the unexpected can be funny. For example, you could say, "We couldn't afford a vacation this year so we just bought a lot of coconuts and bananas and hung out around the kids' wading pool and said things like 'Jamaica, Mon. Dig The important thing to remember here is that no one's feelings are hurt. Make sure all family members have read and, if possible, signed the newsletter. If necessary, state that you are kidding and have fun with it.

There's no law that says Christmas newsletters have to be dull. Diane Freeland earned a bachelor of arts degree at Olivet Nazarene College, Kankakee, and a master of arts in secondary education at the University of Missouri. She is currently teaching for McHenry County College at Pioneer Center. DEAR DR. GOTT: I've been experiencing taste abnormalities and wonder if my blood pressure medicine (Ca-tapres) is causing the condition.

DEAR READER: Known by the medical term "dysgeusia," distortion of taste can appear with no warning and with no apparent cause. However, it more commonly occurs as a side effect of drug therapy; many medicines have been implicated as causes of dysgeusia. Catapres (clonidine) is not among them. DEAR DR; GOTT: I'm a licensed massage therapist and acupuncture physician candidate with a master's in holistic health sciences. Is it possible that the preventive perspective is too close to the fringe of Western medical consciousness to broach? Even though medical means of remedies may be your potpourri to present, preventive suggestions could be given in addition.

DEAR READER: First of all, your not going to walk into it. Alternative health care such as the holistic approach, pyramid imaging, crystal power and naturopathy is said by its proponents to emphasize preventive medicine, rather than the conventional treatment of disease. This makes it equal or superior to traditional medicine, the argument goes, which relies exclusively on drugs, etc. As anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows, such a view is completely incorrect. To mention prime examples: vaccinations to eradicate smallpox, tame polio and prevent tetanus.

Also, physicians often spend inordinate amounts of time trying to persuade patients to alter harmful lifestyles: stop smoking, reduce alcohol, disdain drugs, use seatbelts, exercise moderately, lose weight, eat less fat and practice safe sex. I assure you that preventive "suggestions" are the bread-and-butter of most medical practices. flowery language indicates a hankering for professional respectability. Such high-falutin' talk (that is meant to impress) doesn't communicate. Go to the blackboard and write 25 times: "I will not talk fancy, I'll talk English." Now to your questions, which I'll paraphrase: Western medicine seems preoccupied with treatment of disease; why so little emphasis on prevention?

He brought this skill to the bridge table for the match between Control and Kaos, the two TV-sitcom spy organizations. On the fourth deal, he found the perfect play. To test yourself, cover the East-West cards and plan the play in three no-trump, West leading the spade queen. Siegfried's weak jump overcall of two diamonds wouldn't appeal to everyone, especially at the prevailing vulnerability.

But his partner was a passed hand and it seemed sure Control had at least a game available. Over two diamonds, Hoo elected not to make a negative double because he was short in spades. This proved fortuitous because four hearts is doomed to failure. Leadside, sitting West, decided to lead from his spade sequence. This seems to defeat three no-trump because when declarer concedes a club trick, his last spade stopper is knocked out.

Then, when he leads a diamond, the defenders win with the ace and run the spades. But Hoo spotted the winning line.

These dominant interests will bring you both joy and financial rewards.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) This could be a somewhat unhap- py day for you if your attitude is "if you're not for me, you're against me." Just because someone only partially supports you is not an indication of disloyalty. Trying to patch up a broken romance?

Your commitment will be taken seriously and a failure to produce might be treated as something unforgivable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Something you're presently involved in might be subjected to some negative changes today that you didn't foresee.
