Teeth That Grow Crook ed

•y Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. 1 CROOKED teeth not ouly rob a blight smile of its natural beauty, but they may even deform the face itself. When the teeth do not meet properly, the condition is called malocc iuaion. Tlwre are several variatlen of malocclusion, ail ao common that nearly everyone can think off-hand of an individual example of the various types. Thry follow. Sec If you can’t easily match them up with peojde you know or whose pictures you have seen. In one. the arch of the teeth ia too narrow, and the teeth crooked or irregular. In another, the tower jaw and teeth are too far back, ao that the front upper teeth protrude or are hunt hod together in Mill a third kind, the lower jaw and taeth are too far forward. Early Treatment Alertness and care on the part of parent* and proper treatment begun early In life could prevent or correct most of these defects. It is a peculiar fact that malocclusion is much more common in civilised people than in primitive tribes. For this reason it has been thought that perhaps the diffaience In diet and food habits between civilised and uncivilised peoples accounts for malocclusion. There Is no proof, however, that this Is true, hut It has led to the suggestion that chewing uncooked or partially cooked meats, fruits and vegetables will stimulate proper growth of the jaws by pressure of the chewing. It would seem to be true that the diet of the growing child In the country contain* a large amount of foods supplying sugar and starches and not enough of those which supply calcium or lime salts, and phosphorus, which are needed tor building bone. It is thought by others that the catching diseases of childhood, such as scarlet fever, meaefes and chickenpox may hev a had effect on the enamel of the teeth and result in poorly' formed teeth that directly cause matoceluaion Baby Teeth One thing that parents can do to prevent crooked teeth is to give proper care to Ute baby teeth. If baby teeth must be palled out before the teeth come t*« jaw# may be thrown out of line

year. There am many unsafe breaks ia the walks, which may cause serious injury to pedestrians, it not repaired one of these days. All fury broke loose in the slate ♦ yesterday when the Indianapolis BUr charged political corruption In connection with the beer and liquor set-up. In a four column front page editorial, the Star called for a clean-up aud laid the trouble In the lap of the governor aud state political organisations. ■■ — Q.—Qw ■ Payroll eamidgs In Decatur are large these days, and beyoud that invested in bonds or put away for a ''rainy day", much of it is spent for food, clothing, home conveniences and the like. If the money Is spent out-of-town, it is like looking a factory aud its payroll. With more than 2.U00 people employed here, the market potential ot "Main Street'* is one of the brightest In the state. All we need do is to attract the shopper with services and merchandise. The Issue of unified control of military services, so hotly debated a few weeks ago. has been revived again by a pre-publication war between an author, William Huie, aud the Navy Department. Huie's book. "The Case Against the Admirals, *’ was banned at the newsstands of a Washington hotel by the Navy Department in a 21 page protest claiming numerous errors Mr. Huie, says be was urged to suppress it as a patriotic duty. Instead, he says he will turn back all royalties and pash the book's sale. There is no better way of whetting public interest In any subject than by banning it. That “Case Against the Admirals" may become a best-seller. The idea of unified command has been given a boost by President Truman, and the idea Hutt anyone wanted to ban a book about it is likely to inspire people to try to flud out why.

mid trooked teeth result. Proper care of the teeth will prevent their early loss. There is some question as to i whether thumb-sucking, lip-biting and lip-sucking may not play a part In producing malocclusion, so efforts should be made to prevent these habits. Another question which often troubles parents Is what is the best time to take the child to the dentist for treatment to correct malocclusion. It ia probable that in most cases the treatment should be started as soon as the Irregularities in the teeth are noted. Xn a general rule, treatment for the (orrection of malocclusion should be well under way if not nearly completed by the time the child in twelve years old in order to obtain the best results. Parents should not neglect this important factor in the child’s health. Al! children should have their teeth examined by a dentist at least every six months after they reach their second birthday. Questions and Answers A. M. Y.: I have Iteen troubled for the pant two months with boils. They appear mostly on my head and back of my earn. Will you please tell me something about the cause and the treatment? Answer: The cause of bolls is lowered resistance to a type of germ commonly found in the skin, which Is known as staphylococcus The germs are rubbed into the skin because of the contact of the clothes, or from dirty hands. In the treatment of lioils. several things may be done. The general resistance of the body should be built up by getting plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and outdoor <-xer- ! else, as well as by eating a proper, i well-balanced diet, that Is, a diet i containing all of the necessary food parts, vitamins and minerals. ( The hands and clothes should be kept clean. I In the treatment of the condition, it is also necessary that measures be taken to prevent Infection : of the skin around the boils. Fifty percent, alcohol may be applied over the boila several times daily i ffbmt-timei a vaccine made from the pus of one of the boils and ’ given by injection ia effective. A toxoid made from a staphylococcus gem sod gives by iafossfoa is alao helpful

A PRAYER THAT AMERICA CAN ANSWER al I £ 2s.Lenten Meditation (Rev. Gleu E Marshall, Church of God) “IN THE GARDEN” “0, my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." .Matthew 23:39. Pain may have the tendency "to tune our ears to hear the voice of the eternal." Nevertheless, most of us shrink from ft. and even bewail our lot should It be thrust upon us. We do not like to suffer. It is not always to the highest purpose that deliverance is granted Uh from suffering Many will reap "life eternal" because of the suffering they have had to endure. Suffering conditions their souls to hear the commands of God. Suffering serves as a prod urged them on to the higher goals. It is not weakness that acquelsces to the higher will of God. No weakling can say, and mean it. "Thy will be done." Courage, moral strength, and a faith that cannot be moved are the requirements for one who will, from the hert say. "Thy will Ire done * Jesus was the strongest character that ever lived. He dared to face up to all the will of God. That "will** took him to the garden in agony of spirit. It led him to Calvary. Hut beyond Calvary and the suffering there, there was the resurrection, and an eternal victory over death, hel I and the grave. Eternal Life is the heritage of every true believer on Christ. But this life cost tbs rare courage of Christ when he said. "Father, thy will lie done In me"

CHAPTER SIXTEEN “WHAT IS THIS, about the Ingalls woman getting herself murdered in my room?" Neal opened the tong distance call without a preamble. “A charming surprise, I must sayt Here 1 expect a few more good write-ups in the afternoon papers and instead they are full of her murder! They call it a crime of passion. If that isn’t a laugh! Passion—and that renovated •Id harpy! How’s my room? Did she mass it ail up?" “Your room is unharmed and I wish you’d speak with more kindness of the newly dead,” I said coldly. "Aw, don’t make me sick! If the old fool weren't already dead I could .•dll her for ruining my opening! How would you like it if someone spoiled your great evening for you?" "I didn’t Even if it was only an afternoon reception," I assured her pointedly. “By the way, the police are listening in." She gasped audibly, and then reproached me, at least half an octave lower in the scale. “Darling! You might have mentioned that sooner! I wouldn't have let my poor nerves carry me away so badly if l*d realized we weren’t—just we two! But you know how it is? This tragedy, right after the strain of my ojx-ning, was just a wee bit too much?" “Oh, I’m sure the police will understand—how It is,” I told her dryly. “The gentlemen on the case are very understanding. Especially Dr. Berwick. You remember him, don’t you?" “Dr. Berwick? Is he connected with the police? Is he—listening?” Neal sounded genuinely interested, and a little excited.

"1 am both." Hunt's deep voice suddenly came over the wire. “Anu now that you know it. I’d like you to give me some information, Mias Tarrant." “But with pleasure! I'm entirely at your diapoaal! Anything you want to know—" Neal gushed and gushed, tn a voice that promised far more than plain information. Until Hunt cut her short and aaid matter-of-factly: “Thanka. But I only want to know if anyone from New York ia with you in Boston.” “But naturally!" Neal didn’t sound in the least squelched “My whole company’s from New York, and so is my maid Jones—via London. of course And then, well, there are tw» very dear friends who wanted to make sure I’d haw a shoulder to cry on in case of a flop- A throaty giggle. “It wasn’t a flop, though. They had to help me celebrate Instead." "Yes? And who are the two friends?’’ Hunt asked calmly. ' Oh—one is Deane Kennard. The author, you know. He s going to dramatize his new novel for me wm boy!

king." “They traveled to Boston with you and have been there ever since?" Again the throaty laugh. Playful end teasing, this time. "What do you think? Tbey're slicking like glue," Neal confided. Bo Deane had not been in New York. 1 almost laughed, too, with the sheer relief of it But I sobered at the thought that, in that case, the clgaret stubs had been a plant to make Deane took guilty and I'd simply have to confess my disposal of them to the inspector now, for fear of helping ths murderer by my silence. Actually, I became so absorbed In the "how" of my planned confession 1 don’t remember if 1 said anything more to Neal, or just hung up on her. I only know I walked back into the living room at the exact moment Hunt emerged from the hallway to Neal’s room— his listening post apparently—and that all my good resolutions were forgotten when I heard what he said to Inspector Barry, who was sitting on his spine in the low chair beside the sitting room extension. “Did you bear Miss Tarrant •nrntkm the names of the two rnen who are with her? Well, one of them was Margot Ingalls* target when she made good her threat about cutting her erstwhile hcartthrob dead in public. She snubbed him, and bow! right here in this room at Jane’s reception and—l must say I was surprised to hear he was in Boston yesterday." Ths implication was so clear it made ma feel cold—and furious besides. “That doesn’t mean a thing after the way she talked to me later tn the evening, about throwing stones at one person and hitting another, I broke tn angrily, and then described the scene and the talk to the attentive Inspector ss graphically as I could.

“t aee. You think she had someone efee in mind when she wan nib’’ to your—ar —client,” he thought out loud when I had finished. “It’s possible, but not probable. Who was next In line to greet her?" “You mean behind Deane? I don’t know,” I told him. “I only remember my brother-ta-law and Hunt Berwick came from the dining non a moment later. And it may interest you to hear she snubbed Hunt, too, if not quite so insultingly. He reminded her of a crossing on the same boat, sonic time before the war. And she had forgotten him." , The inspector grinned at Hunt, and Hunt grinned back: "Jane* right She had. Perhaps 1 am yous man and the case ia solved." The inspector's smile disappeared. "Wish it was as ail that," he said gloomily. way things are shaping up have a devil of a time cracking nQive a a a prvieer.cna! •very tune! Eoclcty muidcrtrs ar
