Poorly-Fitting Dentures Moy Cause Upsets

By Hvrman N Bundesen, M. 0. i Chewing not only prepares fiwei lor the stomach but the stomach for food In other words.the chewing nt palatable food ethnulate* tluflow in the stomach of these juic«* necessary to digestion In additum of course, the teeth break up the food so that it is more easily taken care of by the stomach and bowel. Hence, it goes without saying, that il is important to chew food wall Poorly-fitting dentures or false teeth are one of the chief causes of inadequate ehewing. Even normal people vary in the degree of bit big strength which they can exert but those with false teeth are often unconsciously reluctant to use their fall biting power for fear that chewing will be painful. Persons with low biting power must necessarily limit their choice at foods. This is especially true of those who have poorly-fitting dentures or those who have severe disorders affecting gums or supporting tissues of the teeth Many of the important parts of the modem diet each as fruits and vegetables, preeep' difficulties in chewing tor those who du not use enough biting forte, is each in-

ipalities If the law Is repealed, the country looks for a boost In rentals, which will please land lords, but will not be so acceptable to those who have to pay. o 0 Only five of the remaining 17 Civil War veterans will he able i to attend the National Encamp ment in Indianapolis next month. These aged and venerable men will be paid great honor and the ceremonies incident to the convention will no doubt be inspir- ; jug. mixed with sentimentality that comes from the heart. It will be the last gathering of the veterans and as someone expressed IL the five men will saygood bye to each other, never to meet again O 0 For the first time the 1919 Free dom Award, given by Freedom House, will be made to two persons Instead of to one, and both of the joint recipients are to h< men whose business, in a manner of speaking is war. To get the award are David E Lllienthal, chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. under whose direction atomic bombs are made, and Gen Lucius D. ('lay. a career soldier, who directed American forces in the non-shooting battle of Berlin Their contributions to freedom have indeed been great, and the award Is well deserved. o—. -o Smearing A Senate judiciary subcommittee has made public the testimony of an anonymous witness who charged that the secretariat of the United Nations, under the management of Trygve Lie of Norw ay, secretary general, is terrorized by Communist agents to whom Lie is subservient. In do ing so, this subcommittee lias carried to almost its ultimate degree the reckless, inept headlinehunting which has terixed the operations of a few Congressional committees. As far as the information given out by the subcommittee indicates. the testimony of this unidentified witness was neither confirmed nor documented. H has bon bad enough to besmirch the reputations of fellow Americans on such dubious e-vtd« nee But the act of making public such unsubstantiated charges against the character of a distinguished foreign statesman and the international agency he directs is fan tasiit ally irresponsible. The sub committee of course was within its proper bounds in hearing the witness, and would be expected to consider his testimony for what it might he worth and to give appropriate weight to It in reporting to the Senate on the legislation under study. But for what congressional purpose was the testimony made public at this time? This incident will be a poor contribution to the prestige of the United States. It is easy to imagine the glee which will be found in the Kremlin, and the dismay in the capitals of the friendly Western nations.

stances, attempts are made to offset the difficulty by swallowing larger or coarser food masses or by choosing softer foods for the diet. This frequently leads to poor nutrition, especially among elderly persons. Thus It Is important for all persons, and especially the elderly. to visit the dentist regularly so that the teeth may be put in the best possible condition. If a denture is necessary, it should lie properly fitted so that chewing can be carried on effectively. Hear in mind that if a person < annot chew his food as he should because of pain or even the fear that chewing will cause pain, he is likely to suffer from malnutrition due to the lack of all the necessary foods Furthermore, tne swallowing of large lumps of food may lead to irritation of the stomach and digestive upsets. Questions and Answers F. G.: Is there any treatment or operation which would help a person who is tongue-tied? Answer Tongue-tie is an unusual disorder However, if the band which connects the tongue l to the floor of the mouth is short. > the condition can be relieved by cutting thu structure

CHAPTER THIRTY MARVELL alood waiting for the elevator that would lake him to Ben's office on the twelfth floor. The severity of the lobby, the austerity of the elevator "boys"—all of whom might have served as chaplains In the Civil War, Marvell reflected—never failed to qualify the cockiness of his arrival There was no use being impatient, the elevators rose and descended according to some mysterious ritual presided over by the ancient, elegant, sidebumed starter. So Marvell turned his eye on a young man who had been staring at the directory for some minutes. He was rather thin and tail and his general attitude of indifference, as veil as the overcoat he wore, gave Marvell the Idea that be was an ex-soldier. Someone had tried to dye the coat, not too successfully, a navy blue. They got Into the elevator together and stepped off at the same floor. The youiijr man seemed uncertain of the uniform doors with their discreet black or gold lettering that extended to his right and left. He gave Marvel) a tight little smile. "Is 1214 this way? I’ve never been here before." "Must be: rm going to 1206.'’ They turned left together and their footsteps resounded heavily in the cold corridor. "Not lively, Is It?" murmured the young man. "Weil, you can’t expect too much," chuckled Marvell. "They're ail occupied with the past or the future." "I’m not." said his companion, almost defiantly. Marvell stopped before the frosted glass marked "Raynesford, Higham and Hall." "Just back from overseas?" he asked sympathetically. "Yesterday." The young man removed his hat and Marvel! saw the thick dark red hair and the . dark eyebrows that lifted in sur- . I prise at his question. J "Well, good luck," said Marvell . I with a smile, opening the sflent, I well-greased door. On these pen- : odic visits, he was always led immediately into one of the many little parlors, furnished with polished chairs and tables, which i made up the hive of activity in i which Ben flourished. Here were i drawn up tn dignified privacy the ( articles of corporation, the trusts, the final testamenta Marvell had been coming regularly every six months since the end of the war 1 for a check-up of his statements ’ as trustee, executor, whatever he > was supposed to be in the line of i duty, and to make, also, a public i accounting of his own business alfaira it increased his sense of r dignity to talk with Ben on an impersonal bc.fness level and it also ' gave him the freedom of Boston i for a whole day. He usually spent ' it among the wholesalers in the ’ North End where he bought his . supplies, reading engineering news in the library, watching the progress of whatever city construction was going on. occasionally making friends with the boos on the job.

through the delusion when he returned to Coicoru and the simpler Jobs of plumbing and repairing, It buoyed hirt for the time being, wished Ben would hurry up for he wanted to get on with his own day. He thought again of the young man he'd Just bumped into. Back yesterday. If 1 were returning after at least three years of war, what would I think of this year, of this place? A new decade sounded promising but It had begun with the threat of the Volstead Act and blown up in the middle with a local explosion in South Braintree*--would near-beer mean anything to a boy like that? Or the names Sacco and Vanzetti? For that matter did it mean anything to Ben, he wondered, as he rose to shake hands with him. Ben carried a portfolio of papers and a ledger bound In gray cloth. His glasses swung from the black cord and his waistcoat was piped with a white braid, a touch that Marvell understood, now, marked a special meeting of directors or oversee rx "To bad to leave the country on such a glorious fall day, Marvell," Ben greeted him. "It must be lovely out there now." "No east wind, warmer than here." Marvell agreed. "First, your signature for these, and then I’ll be glad to go over your bookx . . .• As he watched Marvell read over each document before signing, a procedure of which he highly approved. Ben admitted to himself that he couldn't puzzle him out. His attention to every detail, his almost childish insistence that Ben’s accountant go over the books of his business In Colcord, the new interest with which he followed political and economic headlines—too libera! an interest for Ben—the distance he kept between them personally, due to Proctor, no doubt, though it was so unnecessary, struck Ber. as being most unnatural The man had changed. And he could not give much praise to Prohibition, either, tor it had been in force less than a year. Just after the Armistice. Ben remembered it well, because his office had been closed, of course, and Marvell had come ail the way down to see him and bad returned the following day, ' rarveil had set up this new routine. First he had apologised for the party, which Elen had almost forgotten. Actually, Ben realized with some regret, he had giver. Marvell up as a bad case. Then he had sought intelligent information of his own affairs and Kit'a Ben’s approval had been so warm that he had ventured to speak of Proctor, but Marvell froze up. "I shall never discuss him with anyone. I prefer you not to mention him again." Marvell had blotted the papers and was now waiting for him. "How is Kit?" asked Ben nervously, feeling that his thoughts were indiscreet even in this private cell "Fine. Doing well In school. Very independent—" he smiled fondly. "She’s got a marvelous memory and she s tn a tot of playa" "1 wish you would bring her tn to see us sumeLme," said Ben and meant it sincerely. ,

I y • fi Keep Out Animals To the Editor; ] For the past week Ive been' j reading about the efforts taken to halt a possible polio epidemic in ( the community. They are all good precautions and I'm glad a start has been made. However, there I has been one unsanitary practice | tolerated in this city for years which ought to be stopped (mined- I lately, namely keeping fowl and | animals within the city limits! I can't for the life of me understand why some citizens seem to think, that because they live near a factory, railroad or the river.; they have the privilege to keep either chickens, cows, horses or even goats. Some of the buildings end surrounding area gives off such a stench it is noticeable for several blocks. That alone tells of the unsanitary conditions main- , tained Such places are the main I breeding grounds for insects. Who ( r knows, polio may come from your own backyard or your neighbors! If we are anxious to make a clean up in Decatur let's be thor-; I oiigh. Many places, much smaller | than ours, have laws forbidding I such practices.

"When she’s older, well be corning in to the theatre." Again that evasion of anything personal. "It’s very good of Fanny to bother with her shopping. How arc Fanny and the boys?" "Fine, everything Is fine but the world," said Ben cheerfully. "What’s the matter with It?" Suddenly Marvell recalled the redheaded veteran who had defied the past and the future. It was ius world more than Bcn’x "Weil, we’re rather deep In the woods, don’t you think? Unemployment, costs are still high. And I don’t like the vote for women." "Why not?" "Actually, it’s unfair. It gives many men two votes, so to speak. Fanny will ask my advice—so will most of the ladica A democracy can’t have carbon copies, you know." Marvell roared. “That’s the most complex legal thinking I’ve caught you at. yet. You Just double your worth, Ben." "There is the working class," said Ben reprovingly. "No matter, you’ve managed well We’ve gone over the inventory—it’s remarkably low." "I shopped around with the small Jobbers," Interrupted Marvell. “There’s not much overhead, nor competition." "You’ve managed well," Ben stubbornly insisted. “It’s on a small scale but sound. Didn't you have trouble with labor during the boom?" "Not much; sometimes I did a trade. 1 used inexperienced men. but now they’re coming back, we’ll lay low for a while and then —prices will rise high, Ben. And costs are going down. This isn’t a had time to buy. 1 am going to look around tor an investment soon." It was on the tip of Ben’s tongue to invite him to lunch, but he decided against it. They might run into Proctor—no sense in creating an awkward scene He’d have to get thoroughly over his ar.ger. Ben had an idea that since the birth of Proctor's son, Proctor had cooled off somewhat In his righteous indignation against his brother-in-law. Not MarvelL That was a pity—the man was an excellent executive. Barlow and Abbot could have used him to perfection during the war and mlgnt again if, as Marvell said, there was a boom coming. Suddenly ne had the Impression that Marvell was an exceptionally good actor. That under this impersonal, independent tack of hix he was lonely out there tn that bacawa«X "Your good neighbor, Miss Searle, hasn't returned ?" "No, and Kit’s pretty disappointed. They were great friend*.’ He was aware of the undue emphasis he had put on the last sentence That was silly. He had no responsibility there, none whatsoever, he argued ar he had before over and over. She had to get out of that rut sometime And leave more room for me, be added, half amused. But, he thought fiercely, am I not sucking to this—this back-breaking trench digging, rut or not. that’s the first line of defense in making Kit's brand new world. _ fTe Bs CosfinaMi I

CHAPTER THIRTY-ON® AUDREY and Kit were walking up the hiU to the crossroads where they would leave one another, Audrey going down to the valley and Kit with still another hill ahead of hex before she reached the lane There was north tn the wind, sharpening the color and outlines of the rim of hills, but the October sun was still warm enough to temper the nippy air and they walked along slowly and unevenly, stopping now and then to choose a cluster of grapes or to pick an apple Kit had already eaten three half-ripe Baldwins and her teeth ached from biUng Into their cold, hard tartneoa She had persuaded Audrey to desert the school bus and walk home part way with her, and Audrey, who disliked exercise, had given tn grudgingly. There was a feud on In the eighth grade. Ten of the dozen who made up the class were against Kit’s choice for the Thanksgiving play. "I don’t care so much about their not choosing my play," said Kit, "but the I>eath of Bad Grammar’ is so dull and there aren't half parts enough to go around." "Oh, everyone knows that." said Audrey complacently. She was perfectly willing to give her advice to either sidx "It’s Just that they don’t want to do your’x good or bad. They want to pay you back." "But what for? What have I done?" asked Kit, bewildered. Audrey twirled her plaid briefcase behind her knees, catching it neatly with her other hand. They want a shangx You've been at the head too tong. You get better marks in composition and you talk up to the teacher and she likes it. and you’ve wntten three plays for them already."

"Sewing’s an extra and doesn’t count." observed Audrey shrewdly. They used to pick on me when we were in the sixth grade and Me had Just gone off.” Kit recalled that rather bitterly comparing her loyalty to Audrey's variableness now. Today she was closely sympathetic. Tomorrow she might shako her head and shrug, "1 don’t care." "And then there’s your hats. They scream at those beaver thingx" "1 hate those damfool hats" said Kit grimly. “But my Aunt Fanny picks them out and sends them from Boston."
