It WB4 noted that the amount of tooth decay am-mg P«* pie living in cjm.n unit ins in which th< water supply contained fluorine wag significantly <»»« than that in neighboring commaaitta# where the waler was free from fluorine. Jt is not yet known just how th'* fluorine-contalning water prevent* tooth decay or carleo. It U known that calcium or Hine and phosphorus are needed for buildins: teeth, and that these suluilances will uot be Utilised unless sufficient vitamin I> la supplied. An Experiment For thto rwMon Ur* Lyon P. fltrean of New York City and Jean p. Beaudet of Quebec carried out « study on a group of children using tablets containing not only • fluorine preparation but also vitamin* The children were divided into three group*. Two typea of tablets were administered, one containing ealclum fluoride, and vitamin C and D. The second tablet .contained uoiy calcium fluoride. One group of c hildren was given the table* •with the fluoride and vUuminn. The aecond group received only the fluoride while the third group received neither.

While subscription prices have increased, newspapers generally are d livered to readers at a small traction of their cost. In this territory. mail subscription prices range from ♦•> to 310 a year, or from less than two cents to approximately three cents a day. wher as the com of the ftrst newspn.|ter lief ore it goes to press will represent an outlay Upward to •200.

The Legion Committee views the memorial in a larger as|ie>t and cites Hie ne d for a building llwt can tie used by civic ami service o.ganizations and at the same time provide suitable quarter- for youth aud adult activities. The Idee of the lironz tablet- is not opiamed ami the plan probably will l»e car-' rfed out, as the names of those who served their country will then be p;e-erv d.

started and no children were used unless they had at least three cavitfes in I lie teeth at the time. it was found that in the chll-; dren who receive! no vitamins or fluoride there wa* an Increase rd 45 per < -nt in the number of cavidea in the teeth. The calcium fluoride alone reduced the increase to 2" percent. The giving of vita- i mins (’ and !> with the fluoride re- : daeed it to 24 percent However, it was found that all these chil-1 dren were taking cod liver oil. A second study was then carried out In which one group of children was given the vitamins and the fluoride while the secund group received no apeclal treatment. These children did not receive cod-liver oil. In this study | jt was found that there was only a Mt percent Increase of cavities in the group receiving the vita-mln-fluoride mixture while there was a 95 percent increase in the j untreated group. It would appear that the use of the v it* in lux with the caletatnfiuoride may hav u a greater value In the prevention of tooth decay i than the use of either alone.

CHAPTER TWENTY JENNY reluctantly caught her] bus next morning. Bhe war not fueling happy. Also, she was scared What was ahe supposed to do now ? Thump on the desk Tip was supposed to keep dusted and cry. "Mr Hathaway. I know all ! forbid you to have anything more to do with my sister!" Nuts, she thought in disgust Real life wasn't like that. Or wan It? Did it run along, as smooth and polite as drawing room com* edy. or an underplayed drama, and then suddenly flare up Into naked melodramatic*? If she felt uneasy entering the familiar office, Justice felt much the same when, some time later, he opened the door. Ede had telephoned him. She had said breathlessly, "Justice, I've had the most awful scene with Jenny. It seems that she overheard us talking at the club last night, also she’s apparently heard- rumors. Charlotte Granlcy told her she saw us In Boston. She didn't believe it, till last night.” He had listened, annoyed. In a town thia size your peccadilloes always caught up with you. Or a town any else. He had said soothingly, “Well, don't get upset over it. my dear. Surely you explained." "I did. I said we had met by accident.

I She hung up abruptly. He replaced the instrument and turned. Mary was standing just behind him and her eyes were bright with mischief. She asked, smiling, “Complications in the love life?” Justice grunted, and went over to the library table to light a cigaret. Mary annoyed him. She was so sure of herself. He said, "You look very chipper this morning." She smiled again. "I'm about to call Steve Barton and ask him to come out. I have been given to understand, obliquely, that he's your red-headed secretary's property, but I was wver a kleptomaniac. I'm ao bored in this codfish town 1 could commit mayhem, whatever that is But not now." "Jenny's property?" asked Justice. "I had It strnight from the horse's mouth,” said Mary, and picked up the telephone and dialed a number with which she had evidently familiarized herself earlier in the morning. "Blonde horse. Alsoran." He was digesting that In silence when she spoke. She said. "Is Dr Barton there? Oh . . . I'm sorry, I meant Dr. Stephen Barton. I see. Would you ask him to call Mias Hathaway when ho returns, doctor? No. nothing immediate. SocjA*,. not professional." She buns' up presently and Justice smoking, contemplating niclure which »lo< on hu father's “A’ , .c| what,” asked Mary, "do j' ou hear from Andrea?’’ Justice was thinking of this conversation when, with apprehension, he walked into his office and found Jenny at her desk, machine gunning the typewriter keys, and the sun bright on her hair. She looked up, smiled. ’ll6llO, Mr. Hathaway," she said. Nothing In her manner. Nothing at all. He felt an enormous relief and unconsciously displayed it. Jenny thought, Ede did phone him yesterday. She thought, Well, then, what sort of game is this supposed to be, play mousy, both of us . . . or mouse and rat? She felt her heart tingle with anger, but her mouth was soft and curved. She thought. Honesty, Gram says, is the lest policy. Chips down. Cards on the table. "Well, Jenny,” he said, “you’re looking very perky this morning. Have a good time the other night? My father was quite taken with you. He said you were the prettiest girl he had seen for some time.” Jenny said, smiling, "Come off it —that’s British Merchant Marine, at toast, the last time I waa at the
