YOUR TEETH
Their Relation to Your
General Health
By the Educational Committee of the
American Dental Association
ELIMINATING DENTAL
BILLS

A wise man never runs to see his
dentist. His teeth are never in such a
condition that the pain makes him
run. Wisdom in dental health is know
ing the value of preventive measures.
There is nothing involved about
preventive dental hygiene. 1t is SIM
plicity itself. 1t can be summed up
symbolized by three words: cleanli-
ness, care, diet.
Cleanliness means that teeth should
be brushed carefully and regularly.
Ideally, this should be done after
every meal and before going to bed
at night. At the very least, teeth
should have good cleaning once
daily. Care means that you should
watch your teeth for signs of decay,
and give them prompt attention.
Diet is considered by modern au-
thorities as one of the most import
ant factors in dental health. Some put
it ahead of cleanliness and care.
"The greatest menace to our teeth
at this time," says DR.. P. G. Puter-
baugh of Chicago, "is the fact that
most of US eat merely to satisfy the
caprices of our appetites and not with
any definite plan in our choice of
foods. A little intelligent effort in the
selection and proper chewing of food
would do much toward the making of
sturdy bodies"
Sturdy teeth are equally dependent
on wholesome food. Regardless of how
thoroughly they are cleaned and car
ed for, teeth will decay if they do not
get proper nourishment, best obtained
from an abundance of milk, fresh
fruits and vegetables, especially of
the leafy variety.
Two of the three things that go to
make up a good preventive hygiene
program can be carried out by the in
dividual. Cleanliness and following a
wholesome diet depend on you, not
your dentist. All that the dentist
does is check over your hygiene pro-
gram at regular intervals, and elm
mate decay before it makes serious
inroads. But the dentists job will be
a comparatively minor one if you dc
your own job we'll and consistently.

Save Your Eyes
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

Today the school child is oft times
competing against great odds and en-
countering real handicaps in his 9TH
er school work due to poor vision OF
inefficient eyes, according to DR.. J.
Fred Andreae of Baltimore Secretary
of the Maryland State Board of
Optometry.
Primitive man, living as he did in
the forest and on the plains, subsisted
on the game he could kill, and his
survival was measured by his abil-
ty to cope with his environment and his
enemies.
The individuals VINO were unfortu-
nate enough to be born with poor Wis
ion or who subsequently lost it as a
whole or part, did not survive. 1t was
a perfect example of the survival of
the fittest.
Today we have made great progress
from those days of our primitive an
cestors, but we are not sending the
whole child to school unless we know
the condition of his or her eyes.
Optometry has taken as its task,
the problem of not merely seeing
that our school children see well, but
what is more important, that they see
efficiently. A test of vision by placing
letters on a distant wall and telling
the child to cover one eye and then
the other, is miserably inadequate. In
such a test, If he or she can read
these letters, all consideration of this
child's eyes is ended. This is almost
criminal.
Parents in shaping the lives of the
boys and girls should remember, that
all of the knowledge of books and the
learning obtained from them will be
of little use, unless the child main
tains good efficient vision throughout
life.
Many children who see we'll and
who are apparently bright children
are backward in school work. The
child, at times actually appears stupid
and may be extremely difficult to
handle.
In truth, large percentage of such
children are handicapped because,
while they see well at a distance,
their eyes are inefficient at the near
point. Another example of the sur
vival of the fittest.
So parents, be sure to send your
whole child to school.

Mrs. Carewe sat up very
straight in her bed.
"The scorpion was the name
of the dance that Lola made
famous she declared, a note
of wonder in her voice.
"I know that, too," respond
ed Thatcher Colt.
"Was it the scorpion that bit
her, Mr.. Colt?"
EYES,"
The old eyelids quivered, the
aged breath came in spasmodic
gasps, and then the body slid
down, spilling a half-filled cup
of coffee in a brown puddle
on the tray. Once more the
strain Of these griSly questions
was too much for the mother.
"She's really in a bad way,
Mr.. Colt" murmured Dorothy
Lox, as she hastened to the
bedside. "She told me that
she has had heart trouble for
years. I really think she
should have a doctor"
But her doctor is dead"
muttered Thatcher Colt. "See
that she is watched over by
a department physician for the
time being. Will you come
back tonight, Miss Lox?"

CONTINUED from Magazine Page,
the girl drew out a memoran-
dunn book, about half the size
Of a stenographer's orSinary
notebook. From this she began
to read one of the Strangest
records to which I have ever
listened, repeating over and
over:
"That beast! That dirty beast!
All, yeSl I know who it is.
Basil! Basil! Basil! Be care
full, Basil!"
Here Dorothy paused to ex-
plain that these same words
were repeated, for hours at a
time. Then came a lull when
the old woman sank into a
slumber so profound that she
said nothing at all.
But about six o'clock this
morning" Dorothy hastened
on, "She began to talk again.
She seemed half awake and
half asleep. This is what she
said:
"'I am going to tell on Mr..
Rowland. What do I care if
he tries to harm me. No one
can harm me. Rowland thinks
I don't know. I'll tell Mr.. Colt
I'll tell him about Rowland
] am not afraid"
Here Dorothy Lox paused.
Anything else?" prodded
Colt.
The Washington times., 1932-05-24

"That was ALL" answered
Dorothy.
'I think" said Colt, 'I had
better talk to Mrs. Carewe."
But why would he not send
directly for Vincent Rowland?
The haunted look still glim-
Inered in the old woman'S eyes.
We stood by her bed, and she
looked up at us through the
wisps of her gray hair, as she
chewed pitifully upon q crusty
remnant of Drowned toast. Her
breakfast tray was across her
blanketed old shankS.
Good morning, Mr.. Colt"
she greeted. Have you found
out who did it?"
Will Need Help
The Commissioner shook his
head, as he drew up a chair
by the side of her bed.
I'm afraid I'll need your help
to do that" he countered.
The old woman darted at
him a gleam of undisguiSed
suspicion.
81? How can help you.
I don't feel as if 1 will ever
be able to get out of this bed
again-but I'll have to do that,
for the funeral. don't be-
lieve I'll ever live through
that"
She began to cry.
"Mrs. Carewe," began Colt
