Instead. she turned her attention

Moreover, she had a sense OF Sc

gerous for children unless the use
of these articles is carefully con-
trolled. Because of their flavor, it
is only too easy to eat too much OF
them. They are likely to cause di-
Gestive disturbances, to take away
the appetite for other more valuable
foods II eaten at the wrong time,
and therefore indirectly to cause
anemia and bad teeth.
In themselves they are entirely
unbalanced foods, supplying only
fuel and no building materials in
any permanent sense of the word.
They must, therefore, supplement

The ChiM's
Teeth
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

MI OUTH hygiene and the pre-
W venuon of dental decay may
be looked upon as one OF
the leading planks in the child. well
fare campaign, for no other human
i'll is more fraught with evil conse-
quences than the national scourage
of dental decay.
The very common practice OF
feeding pappy foods to children
after they have cut their first eight
teeth is to be severely condemned.
4 proper dental hygiene can be
preserved only by the use of food,
after weaving, that will keep the
mouth in a healthy state and the
teeth free from decay.
Bread, toast and rusk not soaked
in milk give the teeth, gums. and
tongue, as well as the muscles of
the jaw, work that nature intend
ed them to perform. Such work
may generally be initiated from
about the age of nine months.
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the great value of fruit
juices at the end of each meal TO
help to remove all particles OF food
by flooding the mouth with saliva.
The vast amount of dental decay
of our children is largely due 10
faulty feeding after the cutting OF
the first eight teeth. The teeth OF
too many children are poorly de-
Veloped because of the soft char
acter OF the food. You cannot de-
Velop strong teeth uron a molly
Coddle diet any more than you can
acquire strong muscles without ex-
ercise.
The kind of teeth that an indi-
vidual BIAS largely determines what
his general health is to be through
adult life.
The bearing OF defective teeth
upon diseases like tuberculosis Is
very definite. Decaying teeth make
ideal culture media for the growth
of various germs. Furthermore. il
the food eaten cannot be properly
masticated. nutrition suffers, for
imperfectly masticated food cannot
be thoroughly digested.
The digestive troubles of Ameri-
cans are in large part traceable to
dental defects.
