Tooth Decay and Daily D iet

By Harman N. Bundesen. M. 0. NOTHING better Illustrates the •ay In which research pays off than our recent progress in dealtax with tooth decay. The great problem was to find out why certain people developed curies or decayed teeth while others did not. Clue after clue was followed but it was not until recently that a practical lead was discovered in the relation between diet and tooth decay. Starchy Foods Today there la a groat drat of eviden-r to show that when the diet is high In starchy foods or sugars the number of germs known as the lactobacilli in the mouth increases These germs tend to break down the sugars and sttrchcs. thus forming acids which damage the teeth and allow decay to occur. Attempts to help prevent tooth decay by reducing the carbohydrate foods, that la. starches and sugars, in the diet, have been successful. Recently, an easier method has been discovered Studies have been conducted which show that, when dentifrices containing ammonium diphosphate and urea are used In the mouth, the number of lactobacilli is greatly reduced and tooth decay prevented A number of preparations con taiaing these substan. r» are available They are used for brushing the teeth. Arter brushing, the mouth should not be rinsed since this would wash away the tagred feats which prevent the growth of

ders bow it can be maintained and efficiently used. To give one an idea of the extent of the base, 8.000 men were housed at one time on the field. It's a city within itself, which may be developed beyond the ordinary uses of a landing field. The federal housing bill will be ready for President Truman's signature In nearly a week, following approval by the House in a 22S to 165 vote on the measure. The Senate already passed the bill arid adjustments of minor provisions of the two versions are expected quickly. The number of public dwellings to be furnished by the government was reduced to 810,000. Slum clearance is one of the main features of the law. one-third of the cost to be born by the federal government. This provision carried the approval of congressmen from the heavily populated districts, where without doubt, housing is needed. Loans to home owners also will be available. America needs more houses. but the opposition fought the measure on the grounds that the government should not engage in the building Industry, or subsidize low cost developments. Time will tell if the venture is too costly. o o -- Canadian Elections: The lopsided victory of the Liberal Party In the Canadian national election seems to add to other indications in the United States and elsewhere as to the general trend of politics in the dernra r.tic porttai of the world. Middk-ofthe road liberalism Is still on the upward segment of the political curve. The liberalism of the Canadian majority party is definitely a moderate liberalism. Thoughtful analysis of the 1948 election returns In the United States, both presidential and congressional, has led to the conclusion that a similar moderate liberalism was reflected by American voters. President Truman's victory largely was the result of his I literal ism and the advocacy of progressive legislation. It will now be interesting to observe the elections in Great Britain next year. The present government there is conside'ed radical In its approach to economic legislation, and there have been repeater! reports that the government is losing a measure of the popular support which pwi. it In office. Will the voting there in 1950 reflect a trend to the middle of the road 7*

not been found to be effective In preventing tooth decay although, of course, brushing helps keep the mouth clean. Prefer Teeth Paste People vary in their likes and dislikes of preparations for mouth hygiene and cleanliness. Most persons. It would appear, prefer tooth paste, probably because of convenience. Fortunately. It has been possible to put the dibasic ammonium phosphate and urea Into tooth paste as well as tooth powders. The evidence thus far presented concerning these preparations seems to Indicate that they may be effective In preventing tooth decay Certlnly. they do cut down on the number of lacto-bacilli In the mouth. Further >.tudles are at present under way employing large groups of children In an attempt to determine the exact value of the ammo-ninm-dlphosphate and urea in the prevention of tooth decay. If these substances are found as effective as the present evidence seems to show, they will do much to contribute to one's health, because decaytned teeth endanger health in many ways. Question and Answers A. 1.: What is the cause for the eyelid to be swollen or seem very full* Answer: Thia may be due to the development of a stye or a chalax tan. which is an lafecttoa of one of the glands In the eyetid.

"Well, it is all settled, then,** he made an impatient gesture. "But I'll need some money to get on my way." "Naturally," said Proctor coldly. This man would bleed him as long as he could—until Katherine had her own income. Thank God she could never touch the principal. Proctor's words were tinder to the dry anger that was stored up inside Marvell. Now he flared forth. -Look here," Marvell got up and came nearer to Proctor. "I don't want anything from you You couldn’t begin to pay me back for what I’ve done for your Arm. You’ll have enough on your conscience in making up to Elizabeth some day. I need enough money to get down to New York and to live on till 1 get settled. 1 won t come back for more. You gave me a dollar once, remember? It was when we were living in Cambridge, a Christmas Eve when I'd stopped in here to wish you all well. And you gave me a dollar to get a hack home! 1 bought a bottle with that dollar, all right, as you thought I would, and I walked home. We drank it together, Elizabeth and I—did you know that ? She was happier than she had ever been and was free enough to drink a toast to the ogre.’ That was you. her dear Brother. Why didn't you let her alone?" Proctor looked at him with narrowed eyes. He didn't believe a word of it, but it hurt him neverthClfiMe “You choked her to death tn this featherbed of a house." "You'd better not say any more," warned Proctor in a low voice. -Why didn’t you let her take the chance thuu«uids of other women take when they make a poor marriage? Why didn’t you let her face it? She could have made something out of it if you had left her alone. You made her a weakling. If she had been a man she would have drunk herself out of it" "Do you propose to stay ta thia house after saying this?" The words were like stone pebbles thrown against a window pans. "Do you think I want to? FII clear out You can give me some eaah and a check now." Marvell's voice had been loud, now be dropped it and said almost courteously. -And I want to thank you for keeping me out of sight this afternoua. You did ms a good i tom." . M

Without a further word, Proctor walked over to the desk and pulled out his check book. He was writing the check as Emily entered. • a a Ben Han arrived for dinner a few minutes before seven. He bad walk'd down from his house on the Hill tn a cold drizzle, in the hope that the brisk walk would be a stimulus against the evening ahead which he frankly dreaded. He had noticed Marvell's absence this afternoon. Did that mean he was not yet in Boston? He rang the bell and brushed the coat of mist from his shoulders Ellen, admitting him, still wore that peculiarly respectable air of gloom with which she had greeted all visitors the last few days. "Mr. Barlow asks that you go right upstairs, Mr. Halt He will be with you in a few minutes." Ben was rather fond of this awkward, elaborate house. He was familiar with the massive stairs that led to the second floor library, the heavily carved hand rails painted an ivory color gleaming against the red damask walls. He felt the softness of the mamen treads through his thin evening shoea For a regretfully short time he had climbed these stain very regularly to call on Elizabeth Barlow with the never-too-eonfl-dent hope that she might eventually marry him. A classmate of Proctor's m college, he had always been welcomed here. Later, as legal advisor, he had further tightened his friendship with the whole family. Tonight, however, he was faintly apprehensive of his reception. The library was chilly, the coal fire had died down, and the quiet emptiness was forbidding. He took out of his tamer eoat pocket some thin Manila envelopes and laid them on the desk. Then be sat down and picked up the newspaper that lay ea a side table. The headlines, delicately leaded, were remotely concerned with the Dardanelles. He turned first to the editorial page as he did automatically every evening. The door opened, and Ben got up peering out of his circle of light into the shadows at the far end of the room. "Did you think I was a ghost, Ben?" asked Marvell. Ben shook hie head. *1 had a feeling you would turn up." "I overslept this afternoon. Bad manners'* He went over to the fire, raked a poker through the low burning coala and shook on some coal from the brass scuttle. Ben watched Ma easy movements. His hair is quite gray, be reflected, as the coal dust momentarily flared up tn the grate. Marvell straightened up. He had Shaved and Ma starched white shirt crackled crisply.

If we kill a few or smash a few fenders what's the difference, the insurance companies will gladly lake care of it as money is cheap? Decatur seems to be a paradise for speeders and wrecklesa drivers. Os course we have filling station drivers, which you can go through like the proverbial bat and a court house square to play tag around. If you hit some pedestrian should we feel remorse about it? Chances are you won't get a tick-

Ben looked at him curiously. There was no rudeness in his tone. No disrespect, merely a regretful note of his own laxity. -1 am very sorry about Elizabeth," Ben said. "You have my , sympathy If you wish it" -Yeo, 1 know." He smiled reassuringly at Ben as if to promise he would be no bother at all, Ben felt the new warmth of the room thawing his personal reserve. "Oh, the newspaper." Marvell fingered its pages. "You’ve seen Proctor?" “It hasn't ehanged an Inch, has it? Same weather man writing his heart-felt prosy reports 'March, thus far keeps a remarkably even tenor for a month famed for its boisterousneaa.* • Ho grinned at Ben, with a look of sharing a se-jj cret. " ‘Since we opened we have not had a day of which we could fairly complain. We are not yet out of the March woods,..’" Ben could not help smiling back at him. Marvell walked back and forth in the tong room. "I have one pleasant recollection of this room. It was the right I tret met Elizabeth. There was dancing out In the hall and the front room.

I have observed for sometime your fiendish antic's on our main business streets and * there never seems to be too much done about it to remind you there are traffic laws. Saturday night Is a good thne to keep traffic slowed up while you drive about to see how many of your girl-friends are on the street. Os course we need not woirry for a blue coat telling us to park as you are not considered to be wreckless in tieing up traffic. Mr. Editor, maybe this Is not an ethical way to remind them of their constant traffic violations that endanger life and limb of our Decatur people. 1 have a youngster and like so many other people, would not want her killed or worst of all. crippled for life by the speeders and wreckless drivers, which continues unbated on the streets of Decatur.
