City Wafer Is Good In Fluorine Content ' Magazine Article Discusses Content '* . • Another assurance of the lesser degree of dental needs lb Adams county was illustrated by a recent article in the Indiana state board of health's monthly bulletin and a report received by city engineer Ralph E. Roop. - * The magazine article extensively the results of rebent tests taken among Adams county school children regarding tooth decay and the element of fluorine in the water. — : •IThe test report received by Roop merely substantiates this by noting since the installation of the city’s new water plant the citjr remains one of the most favorable spots in the state —along with .the rest of Adams county. " State board of health personnel point up the ImpQrtance of fluorides in the water, dramatically product charts such benefits to children who have it. The argument remains that the maximum effects of fluorine arte obtained at a tender age; still, they point out, it is not necessary to be born in a fluoride area. But, “the earlier in age they hr rfve and the longer they are exposed, the greater is the protection they experience.” Often set up as sterling example of natural fluoridated water, much discussion followed the proposal that the Decatur water softener plant be built. Some felt that such a softener as instituted would reduce the effectiveness of the fluorine. ' , . However, this has been subsequently discounted, and Decatur along with Adams county remains one of the “test spots.” In graphs prepared for* the article, which was written by Charles L. Howell, perceptible differences emerged between the number of children with cavities, or with missing teeth, or other dental ailments, in Adams county and the remainder of the state. The state board of health says that at least one part of fluorine to a million parts of water is essential to derive protective benefits?: and their report to Roop showed the city’s watter to be 1.3 parts. That fluorine does not altogether eliminate tooth decay is wellknown; that fluorine materially reduces such is not. And it is oh this tatter point that Adams set up as an example.
