to safeguard the development Of the
tooth structure and the practicability
of following a regimen throughout life
which will minimize the prospects Of
cavities and pyorrhea in the adult.
One of the most recent findings Is
that undernutrttion. particularly as re-
CARDS lack of vitamin c and vitamin
d, is the principal cause of tooth decay.
The healing OF pyorrhea in so days
by good surgery, plus feeding patients
large quantities of orange and lemon
juice, in both Of which there is a con-
siderable amount of vitamin C., has
been reported, and dental decay appears
also to be arrested by this treatment.
The Juice Of tomato. cabbage or other
succulent vegetable CT the liberal con-
sumption Of any one of several fruits
rich in vitamin G would exert the same
effect.
The Importance CT vitamin d for
sound tooth construction has been
established by innumerahle biologic
tests. Prof. Edward Mellanby, writing
in the Journal Of the American Med
ical Association in January Of this year,
states: 1T is evident that the initia-
ton and spread of carries dental decay

that this effect in inhibiting the carl
Gus process is dependent largely on

On the basis alone of effects asso-
ciated with dental carries. such as tooth

receiving dental attention. the problem
is an important one. Considered in the
light of major handicaps that can and
do result from dental diSeases-rheu-
matiSm (often called growing palms,
heart disease and maldevelopment-the
problem is distinctly serious one, espe-
cially for children of the preschool age
All adult dental diseases except pyor-
rhea are the result of poor tooth de-
velopment or neglect of the proper diet
and hygiene during childhood taccord-
ing to one. authority. The development
of sound teeth capable of resisting de-
structive agencies, is essentially a
dietary problem The small jaws and
crowding of the teeth so frequently
seen in children is almost certainly the
result of faulty skeletal development,
and will be intensified by dietary errors,
notably an inadequate supply Of yitamin
| d, which favor the development of
ricketts,.
Vitamin d is almost absent from the
| foods We include in our three meals a
day. Ordinary white bread can now be
| supplied by a new process with this
hitherto scarce vitamin: it is the only
table food which supplies the amount
needed by the average person. The
amount Of vitamin d in other foods in
| which a trace Is found varies under
| different conditions. OF all ordinary
foods, eggs come the nearest and whole
milk also contains a very slight amount
The most concentrated sources apart
from sunshine, the great natural source
are cod-liver oil and other Ash oils.

Good Teeth, Good Eating

That the right food will save teeth
@ the latest contribution OF science
Even before the birth of a child, the
mother can take measures TO assure
him q good, sound set OF teeth in years
TO come by seeing that her own diet is
properly balanced. Since the mother
will sacrifice her own tissues, including
the teeth, during the prenatal life Of
her infant unless her diet provides
everything necessary for bone and tooth
development. she protects herself even
more than her baby by taking at this
time the proper amount of vitamin D.
There Is a very close connection be-
tween the character Of the diet and the
structure and the health Of the teeth
and gums. These findings point the
way not only to a great reduction In
tooth decay and in gum diseases, but to
the possibility OF rearing children so as

have trained herself to be more prac-
teal Although her true interests may
lie in books art or music, she appar-
emily has forced herself to do the more

ably avoids any unnecessary routine
work in order TO be able to devote
more time to her favored pursuits.
The business world would not seem
the place for her. She is probably
real homemaker. even though she may
not care for homework Realizing that
the spirit of the home Is more impor-
tant than the furniture in it. she would
strive to make herself an interesting
companion to both husband and chill
dren. They in turn probably admire
her more than they would one who con-
tinually slaves over her house.
We would expect the out-of- doors to
hold great appeal for her. She would
appreciate the changing moods of ma
ture. delighting In their variety. She
should, II possible, have q garden Here
she could watch the constantly growing
and developing plants She would en-

building and caring for such a place.
Simplicity is surely the keynote of
her life. Great display of wealth and
possessions would seem vulgar to her.
She would undoubtedly pick her friends,
not by their material assets, but by
their charm and mental DEVELOPMENT.
The poorest beggar, If he had a new
philosophy of life, would charm her
more than q wealthy dilettante.
She should prove an able leader of
children. particularly of young girls.

Can More Tomatoes
Before Season Closes

If every member of the family does
not have a minimum of nine quarts
Of canned tomatoes for food this win
ter, more should be canned before the
season closes.
ripe tomatoes contain valuable
food elements that are necessary to
good nutrition and when grown and
canned at home provide an inexpen-
sive food" says Miss Mary Thomas,
extension specialist in nutrition at
State College. tomatoes are valuable
in the diet whether raw, cooked or
canned. They may be substituted for
oranges and they rank with these as
one of the richest sources of vitamin
c. They are superior to oranges as
sources of vitamins A, B, and G. This
means that the tomatoes contain those
food elements which promote growth
and help to keep the tissues of the eye,
ear, nose and throat resistant to in
lection. They stimulate the appetite,
aid in the digestive processes and pre-
vent pellagra. Tomatoes should be eat
en- at least three times a week through
out the year."

Double Feed Money
By Selling To Cows

Fourteen dollars worth of farm
grown feed fed to good average COWS
will produce $2S worth of butterfat
at present prices and will leave $3.50
worth of skimmilk on the farm to say
nothing of the manure.
AT the present prices for butter
fat, the man who has produced a sur
plus of forage and other dairy feed
can sell this feed through cows for a
fairly good return for his labor" says
A. c. Kinney, dairy extension special
ist at State College. "The relation be-
tween the farm price of dairy feeds
and butterfat is favorable now and
bids fair to remain Sc through the
coming winter. Records kept on pres
ent market conditions show that if
$14 worth of feed is fed to good av-
erage cows, it will produce 100 pounds
of butterfat. When sold for butter
making purposes, this fat is worth
SIS. In addition there will be left on
the farm about 1900 pounds of skim
milk worth IS cents a hundred
pounds. This is excellent for feeding
to poultry. Or hogs and when SO fed
has a value of $3.50"
In addition to these values, Is per-
cent of the plant food in the feed
stuffs will go back to the farm in the
form of manure and thus cut down
the fertilizer bill, says Mr.. Kinney.
