BUILDING STRONG TEETH
By Kathryn Allen White, Nutrition
Department Philadelphia, Inter-
State Dairy Council.

In playing any game it is impor-
tant to know the rules. This know
ledge is essential to winning. To
know the rules and to practice the
game according to the rules is the
path to success.
Brushing teeth! A simple rule and
an essential One-but how easily
forgotten. Yet one bad tooth can do
more mischief than we usually ap-
preciate. Too many of us really
think Of our teeth only when we
have the toothache.
First Of all it is important to have
good teeth to brush. Teeth like
bones are built by the foods we eat.
Therefore it is highly necessary for
the mother to choose her children's
diet wisely to furnish the tooth
building materials.
All of the child's first teeth and
two Of the second set are formed be-
fore the baby is born. The mother,
therefore, is responsible for the pro-
per construction of her baby's teeth,
and she must eat foods that will
make them good and sound. The
best tooth building foods are green
vegetables, fresh fruits, and most
important Of all, milk-at least a
quart a day. The reason green veg
etables and milk are especially good
is that they contain the mineral
matter, which is the building ma
terial for teeth. Teeth are made
mostly Of lime, and food specialists
have found that milk and green veg
etables contain the highest percent
age Of lime and other mineral mat
ter.
We can best illustrate this to chill
dren by comparing the vegetables to
the miners who dig down into the
earth for the iron ore from which
steel is made to construct fine,
strong, tall buildings. The vege-
tables send their miners, the roots,
down into the earth to take the
from the ground and store
In their green tops. Thus, by cooking

CHAPTER %

1t was the Spring of 1918 when the
noble marquis, Carlos Domingo de San
Pillar, squandered few months of his
abundant time in order to follow Miss
Flora Lee Peake from Paris to America; /;
he was kind to all the reporters and was
complimentary, if not exactly accurate,
in his observations of the lady's native
town. To representatives of the Star
Eagle, the Union-DemOcrat and the
Egening Democrat he expressed the
opinion that he had at last met the
thing for which he had pined since
early youth-the ideal American city;
so what-yOu-call hustling with men who
must be very powerful and courageous
to make those soul-stirring sounds of
iron everywhere; and such striking,
primitive art on all the bill-boards to
remind the stranger of America S Indian
origin. And the ladiesl So beautiful
-ahl They make the loveliest ladies
Of Spain look very pale by comparison.
When Jimmy Wilder, the celebrated
city editor of the Evening Democrat,
heard this observation about "pale by
comparison" he made long, accurate
shot at the office spittoon and remarked.
"I reckon he's referrin' to the colored
population"
An example Of Europe's Oldest and
least progressive aristoCracy, the Mar
quis was forgivable for his misjudg-
ment Of an American caste which for
two hundred years had held itself as
high as his own. He came upon Grand
Avenue with it's overhead trolleys, auto
mobile crush, bargain shirt sales, fdgety
electric cinema advertisements and
baseball scoreboard in front of the new
Star Eagle building; and how was he to
see anything there but an aspect of
New York or Chicago in miniature? |
In the decade between 1908 and 1913 |
the city had changed just as definitely |
as the old Livingstone Place had |
when it was sold for a song to |
the municipality and was converted |
into a public park. Something had put |
hurry into Southern legs. Men of the
newer generation no longer dined at
they lunched and talked bust
ness. Mr.. Tardeau, who used to run a
reliable If jumbled little prescription
pharmacy was now, with his son, pro-
prietor Of three Yellow Drug Stores.
They sold. alarm clocks, theater tickets
and phonograph records; no prescrip-
tions. Grand Avenue was dramatic
like a fair. A giant negro paced the
sidewalk in a plum-colored uniform,
Iettered CDR. Grimm, the
Dentist" And on the edge of
The shopping district a bargain candy
store with vermillion front showed a
Iilver-plated taffy puller in action below
jhe sign Candy Holtz."
The elders of Satsuma played bridge
Whist behind closed shutters, grumbled
10 their hearts content and attributed

Their younger men were away in offices
md automobiles, feverishly adjusting
heir lives to the new condition which
hey realized-or the wiser of them ,
not merely a Yankee
Invasion but an aspect of the industrial ,
wave which was sweeping the country :

mother is supplying her children
with the proper building material
for teeth.
On the other hand a COW lives en-
tirely on greens, and she gets so
much mineral matter that she can
store it in her milk in the very best
form for us to use. This makes milk
the best source Of tooth building
material.
The mother may take care before
her child is born to eat the proper
foods that build strong teeth. But
she must not stop there. The child's
teeth and jaws, like his muscles, de-
Velop through exercise. To keep
ones teeth in good shape it is nee
essary to use them in chewing. Chill
dren are too often taught to soak
their bread in milk and soups, and
to eat soft sweets. One reason why
coarse breads and whole grain GER
eals are good for children is that it
gives their teeth something to work
matter they furnish exercise to keep
the teeth in condition. If you give
your child an apple, wash it, but
don't peal it, and likewise with a
baked potato. The clean skins of
these are very good for children, be-
ing rich in minerals and having
enough body to require chewing.
The three most important things
in connection with a child's teeth
are:
(D To build strong teeth by in
cluding in the diet-milk, greens
and fruit.
(2) To keep the teeth strong by
exercise, using foods that require
use Of the teeth; and
(S) To keep the teeth clean.
1t is ideal to brush them after ev-
cry meal, but it is absolutely essen
tial to clean them before going to
bed. If a child sleeps for 10 or 12 |
hours, as every growing child should |
time is allowed for the food caught
in the teeth to begin to decay. This
is just what we want to avoid by
brushing the teeth regularly every
night before going to bed.
Along with these precautions we
would suggest regular trips to the
dentist at least once a year, as one
safeguard to the child's health.

Admah gazed in wonder, bathed in
silence. 1t was a noisy public ward

was laughing shrilly at one Of her own
foxes; an old man sitting up in bed, was
coughing like a sick horse. Nurses and
lnternes moved casually about, their
cheerful gossip unrestrained. Yet to
Admah all the world seemed still. 1t
was like a great church in which she lay,
carved in alabaster. 1t couldn't
be his mother. He couldn't fancy her
so helpless, doing nothing for herself,
actually giving trouble to other people.

close to the motiOnless head.

Even in her dying breath she said

He mumbled dincoherently, asking her
to forgive him; poor Admah never had
the words with which to unburden his
troubled heart.
That's all over" she told him with |
one of her queer smiles. But now |
that I got to go, son, want you to |
promise me this-I want you" A
deep, terrible cough seemed to tear her
from head to feet, but after the nurse
had laid a spoon to her lips she went on,
'I want you to promise-you wasn't
born to be pore trash, Admah. You
got somethin' better. Inever give you
no book-larnin', Ad. But always

"I'l be a man, Ma" he whispered.

"You believe me, don't you, Ma?

But the nurse had brushed him aside,
and leaning over the white bed had

1.-The Modern Girl of Forty" was
the text Of an address to the Royal

Doctor Percy Hall, one Of Eng
lands most famous physicians.
Never have the gentler sex been
30 healthy and so attractive as
they are today" said Doctor Hall.
"A generation ago a woman of
forty was an old lady who wore
voluminous flannel pettfeoats and a
shawl around her shoulders while
she sat by the fire crocheting.
To-day a woman OF forty looks
twenty, plays golf and tennis dur
ing the day, and jazzes far into the
night. She comes down first to the
breakfast and without the temper
of the bear.
''She is emancipated both in body
and mind, and appears to have
captured the elixir Of eternal youth.
What has she done? Simply
cast away her superfIuous clothes.
BY wearing silk next to her skin,
short skirts, and clothing low in
the neck, she allows more light and
air to get to her body, and as a
direct consequence she has achieved
youth in body and health.
by putting a tax on silk, Chan
cellor Winston Churchill has struck
a blow against the health of the
