The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-07-14

The problems necessary to bring this
about are mainly those of habit for
nation. If you use meat eat it only
very moderately, also cereals, pota-
toes and sugar. The main essential
is a vital diet.
There is a growing realization of
the value of simple foods, natural
foods, all over this great universe.
The natural foods are the vegetables,
berries, grains, roots, fruits and nuts.
We should form the habit of eating
some of these raw. Cooking food
makes it more palatable, but, how
ever, only portion of the food
should be cook. The natural food
contains elements of great value
which cooking must necessarily
change to some degree. The value
of the natural food should be empha-
sized for the rebuilding of the whole
physical organization. Especially is
it to be emphasized that right eating
will maintain the healthful condition
of the teeth, and adjacent tissues. I
explained this in my article, GLOW
to Develop a Good, Sound Set of
Teeth" issued April IA.
liable. Fresh spinach and other
greens are wonderful foods. The
eating of lettuce, tomatoes, celery,
cold slaw, should be a daily delight.
Cabbage in any form is very good.
These foods may be combined with
each other such as tomatoes stuffed
with celery, chopped lettuce, nuts or
other suitable foods.
Eggs are good when used moder-
ately. Raw eggs are fine but all of
US cannot eat them that way. Soft
boiled eggs cannot be beat, while
baked, poached or boiled are supe-
rior to fried eggs.
In the use of milk, remember al
ways that it is a good and not a
drink. 1t is good practice to make
milk part of your daily diet. Re-
member, too, that when it is taken
into the system it becomes a solid,
instantly, in spite of the fact that it
is a fluid in the mouth.
I feel that I must say something
about the fruits. Most important in
vital cleanliness is the action of the
natural frupit acids in the mouth and
upon the teeth. The daily use of
oranges as food will be a great help
in keeping the teeth in clean condi-
ton, and lemons and grape fruit will
be excellent for an occasional supple
ment. These will aid as external
cleansers and thus be a protection in
this way. These facts will be of
value especially because of their vita
mine content. Eat plenty of fruit,
friends.
Honey is another food of value
and l don't believe nancy people use
it. 1t is far superior to cane sugar
for sweetening purposes. Give the
kiddies plenty of honey; it is far bet
ter than a great deal of candy.
Building the body is without doubt
great art, we'll worthy of study,
and of practical application. All of
US know would like to have strong,
supple, elastic, buoyant bodies, so
that we can dance, run, swim, play
and work, with delight with only a
pleasant sense of desire for rest to
follow. A combination of wise think
ing, happy, healthful exercise with
common sense expressed in eating
will help to keep the doctor away and
render our bodies strong and healthy.
@. I have a tooth that was filled
with silver about two months ago,
and it has never been right since be-
cause when I take something hot or
cold it hurst me. What do you think
is wrong?
Mrs. S. L. R.
A. The filling evidently was put
too close to the pulp (nerve of the
tooth). Enamel, the outer covering
of teeth is a non-conductor of Their
NAL changes and electricity. Me-
talic reservations conduct thermal
changes and electricity. To remedy
this condition have the filling re-
moved, the tooth treated, and re-
filled. The tooth should receive a
cavity lining and a cement base be-
fore attempting to refill it. I would
advise you to look into this matter
at once, because this irritation to the
pulp might in time cause death to it
and subsequent loss of the tooth.
@. l have been wearing a plate
for a number of years. It has be-
come very loose. Do I have to have
a new plate made or can something
be done to make this place fit?
Mrs. K.
A. You would not have to have a
new plate. Your plate can be re-
lined.
Q. What do you think of this new
mouth wash "Zonite?"
S. A. N.
/ A. 1t is very good, as a matter of
fact think that it is one of the best
on the market.
@. What is meant by necrosis ?"
Mr.. P. L. C.
A. Cell or tissue death in any
part of the living body.
