FOOD FOR
TEETH

IENEIE most important period of
development of the teeth Is
from a time five months prior to
birth to about the fourth year.
1t is during this time that nor
NAL formation of the teeth may
be interfered with by malnutri-
ton.
Teeth are composed Of calcium
carbonate and calcium phosphate,
and it Is absolutely necessary
that foods be selected for the
pregnant mother, nursing mother
and child which contain ample
amounts of these elements. Such
foods as milk, cabbage, spinach
and cod liver oil are indicated as
tooth builders. All green vsge-
tables and ripe fruits are excel.
lent for this purpose-Hygeia.

There, strewn along the cement
walk leading up to the front door

knew what they signified. They
meant the occupants Of the house
