Gingivitis, What it Is and Ideas in Treatment

•y Harman N. fiundesen, M. 0. I BECAUSE the war made necessary careful examination of large numbers of mm and women. it has revealed a number of hitherto unknown facts. As a result we now know that certain disorders are much more frequent than was formerly supposed Ono of these, discovered in Canada to afflict a large number of young mon. is gingivitis or inflammation of the gums. Os 144# apparently normal men examined, one-fifth were found to have gingivitis. Swollen Gums Often, the condition caused no symptoms. However, a large num bar of the patients had painful, swollen gums or bleeding of 'he gams. Exactly what causes gingivitis Is still a matter of some diaputA Il has been stated that perhaps th- conditions is dtie to a lack of | vitamin C or ascorbic acid. In gingivitis there is redness and swell lag of the gums. Later on they may bgcome thickened. These changes, it has been reported, may be overcssae by giving ascorbic acid in large amounts. Dr. W. J. Llnghorne and his cowarhers of Canada carried out sent studies ptf a large group of men to determine the effect of various ugtrlUve sufaattuacea on the gingivitis, la the first studies which they nude, they noted that giving large aowunuta of vitamins A aad D, B-l Mid frt, aad niacin w|kb U a part of the »4»«utieM a* waU as ascorbte acid, tor a period of five mooiiw seemed v)

Briggs whose death occurred over the week-end was one of the leading citizens of this county, long prominent in bank lug. business and civic affairs in his community. He lived in Geneva 65 years and was a dominant f figure there for a half century. With life late Charles Porter he organised the Bank of Geneva aud served as its president unill hU death- He also organised the Briggs Hardware Store, which for many years has been a mecca for residents of Ike south half of the county. His death removes one of the stalwarts, long active in the county. —o House building will be spurred with congressional approval of the bill appropriating 400 million dollars for subsidies in the pro duction of needed materials. The government hope* to see the com plot lon of J,700,000 homes within the neat two years, largely for returned veterans. The cost of the homes will be kept a* a minimum through the subsidies to be allow ed on lumber, brick and other materials. The acute housing situation must be overcome and above all the veterans are entitled to a place lo live aud nearly three mill ion homes will go a long way In solving the bousing pinch. Every community should be aide to go along with the program and build bouses at once. O—O Way to Peace Almost 300 years ago the Peace of Westphalia ended the 30 Years' war, till then and for many years afterward the moat devast ating war the world had ever seen. The treaty, according lo the Eng lish historian C. F. Strong's new book. “Dynamic Europe”, recognized 343 separate states in German states In German territory, all of thalli MNRiowered to make way and conclude alliances. Germany cannot lie understood without knowing from what a split-up condition she has gradually emerged, and how the urge to unity finally brought about one compact, powerful German state. Now Germany is divided not into 343 parts but into four. If there is any value in studying past history, it suggests that this divided condition will not last, any more than it did in 1648. Also that the future of Europe cannot be secured merely by a partition of Indefinite length, but by some structure like the United Nations, reinforced by an anti-German alliance like that proposed by Secretary Byrnes.

have little effect on the inflammation of the gums. Large Doses In their second and third studies. however, they noted that, when the gum inflammation was cleared up to the maximum degree by local treatment, the giving of a large amount of ascorbic add was more attccessful in \eephig the condition from recurring than was the giving of smaller amounts of ascorbic weld. The focal treatment which was carried out was to apply a pasta made by mixing a liquid and powder into the pockets In the gums. The padc thus formed was retained in iplace for a period of about 4S hours, and then a second application was made, if necessary „ At the tend of this period of treatment, the pack was removed. All the tartar was scraped from the teeth polished. Patients were then instrui-ted to keep the teeth clean anti to stimulate the gum tissue by the use of the toothbrush. It was found that if the diet wax one that suppl led a large amount of ascorbic acid, the gingivitis could Ire kit-pt from recurring. There was no digerence In the effect on the gum tissue whetbwr the ascorbic acid was supplied In natural foods .as for example, 1 ounces of orange juice, or was given In the term of tablet*. It would uppes from this study that gingivitis or gum fhflammntion may be due in part at least to a vitamin D deficiency but in nil cam. to ovtrcoeao the condition, sarsful treatmeat by the dsatisC la

til AFTER THIRTY-EIGHT ' MY QUARREL with Neal only ended when Jones rushed tn, imploring her idolized mistress to think of her coming performance, and carried her off by main force alhiost, with a glance of utter contempt at me. The glance hadn’t the desired effect, though. It didn’t squelch me. I only heaved a sigh of relief and went to my room to dresa. But I was, by then, in such a state of jitters, I found even that a hard task. My hair wouldn’t go up right I broke a nail My lipstick smeared. And when, by a miracle, I managed to be ready in time In spite of all these small mishaps— Hunt was late! He hadn’t sent mo a wire and so 1 had. of course, taken it for granted he would come. But at quarter past eight 1 started to worry, and began pacing the living room. And by half past I gave up, grabbed my evening wrap and rushed toward the door. However, just as I was pulling It open the beli rang, and I found Hunt stan&ng outside, scowling at we as angrily as I was glaring at Mm. "Snrrjf to have kept you waiting,'* he announced, in a tone that said he was angry but definitely not sorry. “But every last thing went wrong. First the plane was held up for some bigwig, and then there weren’t any taxis at the airport.** “It doesn’t matter," 1 assured him. Also in a tone that meant the reverse of the words. "We can still make IL Unless we run up agMnst “no taxis* here also.** But there was no danger of that Hunt had kept his cab waiting at the door, and presently we were rolling uptown. Each sitting silently in a comer. Each in a leas than festive mood. Each quite obviously at odds with the world. In short the evening, so far, was one of those things! Once we were in our seats, however—just in the nick of time—and the curtain had gone **p, I forgot all the grievances of the day. Neal’s play, tn which she played what she herself called "a highborn hussy," was perhaps not the moot outstanding of its popular author, but it was an ideal vehicle for her, and she held her audience from the instant she stepped on the stage. She even held me. Higher praise there is none, under the circumstances. J became so aleos+ed to the joys and sorrows, sins and punishments, repentances and backslidings of th,' entrancing hussy up there on the boards that nothing else seemed Hal. Not even the murders that had harassed me for almost two weeks. And I only came back to earth when ths curtain west down on the *»t act gad Hunt pushed • way for ue through the crowded aisle

——l to the lobby, and from tnsre out to l the street. The evening was mild, and so the , entire audience milled around on i the sidewalk during the Intermission. Smart, guttering, hlghstrung i and ahrili as only a New York firstnight audience can be; filling the . night with noisy approve! of the show and Neal, shouting and beckoning to friends. Inspector Barry, very good looking tn a natty blue suit, had managed to get out ahead of us and was the first of our group to find Hunt and me. Deane and Tonio were next—coming fran different directions: Tonio glowing with quiet pride, Deane rather loud in his "professional” approval of NeaL A little later Claire, vary much the great lady in looks and Broadway in speech, presented her escort and voiced a grudging tribute to Neal by telling the world: "The gal’s a pain in the neck, but, boy! can she act!" And at the last of ail Dick joined our growing circle—alone. "Where's the blond lovely you’ve promised me?" he asked in lieu of greeting. "Your friend Brenda’s seat beside mo is a yawning hole, the only one to the whole house. Makes me look as though 1 had the measles or something." I tdd him I didn’t know or understand why Brenda hadn't shown up and, more puzzled than I cared ' to admit, turned around to see how Hunt and Inspector Barry were taking the news. But they had disappeared, end I discovered them only after a lengthy search with my eyes, standing a good ten feet away, deep in a discussion that didn't took as if It concerned Neal's acting. Inspector Barry was doing most of ths talking, 1 noticed, while Hunt contented himself with an occasional brief remark, or nods. -He looked terribly tired, and even more annoyed than when he'd come for me—as if he wished ho were anywhere but at this opening—and he seemed to have a bad headache, judging by the way he kept digging his fingers into the corners of his eyes. But, no matter how intent they were on their talk, or how cross Hunt looked and acted, 1 felt they ought to know about Brenda and pushing my way through to them. However, the bell rang before I could roach them, and I was drawn into the human mill race streaming back into the theater. And, I'm ashamed to admit, once the curtain was up again I foegot Brenda's absence. even when Hunt sat down beside mo with a murmured apology. The rest of the evening, up to midnight, la registered in my memory as a aeries of pictures. The curtain dropping and rising —dropping and rising.

tjjrs bowing and smiling. Now a whole string of them, now a small group, now Neal atone. Mostly Neal alone. Ten. 15, 2ts times Neal alone. The overpowering scent of flowers in a dressing room crammed with them. People laughing and jostling each other and gushing comoliments. Neal, radiantly beautiful, her hair aflame, her skin translucent above the bright green sheath she’d worn tn the last act, relishing fcr triumph. And Tonlo’s emerald sparkling on her engagement finger. so huge and green no one suspected it of being anything but part of her costume. Then I was home again, escorted by Dick and Hunt. Just one jump ahead of the mob. We’d scarcely stepped out of the elevator when it began its incessant trips down and up. disgorging more people than I’d thought it could hold each time it stopped on our floor. X had meant to go straight to Brenda’s apartment to find out why she hadn’t beeft at the theater. But I was swamped by my duties as hostess—doubly strenuous becatUß Oalre, honest in her dislike of Neal, had firmly refused to attend -and actually forgot Brenda until Inspector Barry brought her back to my mind by asking, "Where's your friend Brenda? Didn’t you ask her to your ’party?" -Of course I did," I told him defensively. "And I gave her a ticket to the play. But she didn't use it I think rd better go see why ahe didn't and drag her over here if she’s still up.” The Inspector said first: "I see." and then: "That’s right you should,” and went with mo as far as the outer hall, where he -topped near the elevators to watch my approach to Brenda’s door. It gaped the Ur.lsst, most inconspicuous slit I noticed, as 1 touched my finger to the bell. And so 1 dropped my hand again, pushed It open—not quite liking the fa& It wasn't closed—and walked through the dark foyer, calling; "BrendaBrenda?" questioning!/. There was no answer, and the living room f entered wes empty. Dark, too, except for one veiled lamp and a shaft of tight failing into it from Uw bedroom side, where the sliding walls Stood a little apart in the r iddle. My first thought was that Brenda had been too tired to come and was sound asleep, but I discarded it promptly—she couldn't bo, with the light Maslag 'n her room. And so I moved toward tlm bright gap, calling her uafee again. By a mere chance my gfeo's dropped to the floor and I stopped, frozen to the spot. A slim white hand reached around the edge of the movable wall at one ride. A hand that held a small, pearl-handled revolver, and lay very still. jts Be Coatteaad)
