RAISING CATFISH
If at their first daily feeding, catfish rapidly swim to the surface, stick their heads out of the water, and gulp for food, everything is O.K. If they are sluggish or don't come to the surface, promptly change the water.

BUYING STOCK
Don't buy safe, low-risk stocks. Instead, buy growth stocks with some of your money and, for balance, put the rest into bonds or other minimum-risk securities.

COOKING SHRIMP
Don't let them boil. Bring the water to a boil, drop the shrimp in and turn off the burner when small bubbles start to break the surface of the water. Then just let them sit 3-7 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. They'll be firm, sweet and never overcooked.

For kitchens, porches, and bathrooms, a skylight that takes up 15 percent of the ceiling will provide good illumination. Family rooms and bedrooms need 10 percent, while hallways and attics need as little as 5 percent.

ANN LANDERS' PENCIL TEST
To determine whether you need to wear a bra, place a pencil under you breast. If the pencil falls to the floor, you don't need to wear a bra; if it stays, you need one.
