TEETH NEED AS
MUCH EXERCISE
AS ARMS, LEGS

Soft food and diseased teeth are
as well as for children.
Physicians of the Minnesota State
M d C a Association today warn
adults, especially, that their teeth
need exercise as much as the muscles
of their arms.
"The average health minded man
and woman falls down completely on
this phase of the routine necessary
to good teeth" the doctors say. "They
play games; they walk, take regular
gymnasium exercise to keep their
musculature firm. They attend to
their diet in so far as proper amounts
OF the various food elements go. They
go to their dentist regularly to keep
their teeth clean and in repair. But
they entirely overlook the necessity
for eating hard foods to exercise their
teeth and gums. Hard crusts; raw,
hard vegetables such as celery, car
rots, raw fruits such as apples, girls
ties and fought fibres of meats all
offer mouth exercise. incidentally,
such foods cost less in money and
time to prepare them, than the fan
cier, more sophisticated preparations
which cause our dental downfall"
Civilization has contributed very
little to the dental welfare of the
race, the physicians point out. What
we have gained in knowledge of tooth
requirements has not made up for
the damage our refined tastes in food
has done and will do.
There is no good excuse for poor
teeth nowadays" they declare. I'VE
know the food elements necessary to
build up good tooth materiaIthe
calcium, PHOSPHORUS and other min
eral elements. We know that these
elements are necessary in the pre-
natal diet of the mother. We can plan
the baby's diet accurately to contain
all the elements for growth including
tooth development and include in his
diet hard toast something to chew
vigorously, from the time his teeth
appear.
IF the baby continues that pro-
gram throughout his life with regu-
larly timed visits to the dentist for
prophylaxis and expert watching he
should have as good a set of teeth
as the savage, interrupted by civil
lied tastes-or as his dog and cat"
Dental contests among children,
even from good homes and intelli-
gent parents, still show that we are
far from approaching this ideal, the
bulletin concludes.

few ineffective gestures, tacitly &C
cepted this viewpoint.
Japan's attitude remains unchanged,
even after a study of the Lytton re-
port, for Tokyo reports that the i'm
perial Japanese government will mot
for one moment" consider any sug-
gestion that her sovereignty In the
conquered part of Manchuria may be
illegal.
"Unfair."
At the moment of this writing
Japan has indicated her unwilling
ness to pay any attention to the re-
port. AS a matter of international
courtesy, she may submit formal re-
ply when the time comes, but she will
not consider herself bound by any part
of the commissions report.
This document, according to a
spokesman for the Tokyo government,
contains much which is unfair to
Japan, but nothing which is unfair to
China. Although there is much which
must be unpleasant for the Chinese
to read-there is nothing that they
have not deServed!"
Afterwards
Since the Japanese remain thus in
flexible in their attitude, the question
arises: What can be done about it
all? Assuming that the League on or
soon after November IA resolves to
take some sort of action-how can
such a decision be carried out?
Surely not by war in which all
League nations then would have to
join! And surely not by an inter-
national boycott which-it was made
known last year-would under no cir
cumstances comprise the United
States! Diplomatic persuasion has
proved ineffective, and If more at
tempts are made to coerce Japan, she
will simply resign from the League.
Most probably no definite and con-
elusive action will be taken. Most
likely the Lytton report will be per-
mitted to repose undisturbed in the
League archives.

FARM AND MARKET
By r. A. TROVATTEN.
minnesota Agriculture, Dairy and
Food Commissioner

Food Commissioner
Farm leaders in counties infested
with grasshoppers the last two years
have been dispatched suggestions as
to how eggs deposited in the soil may
be destroyed.
Two methods have been advanced.
For heavy soil it was suggested that
infested fields be plOwed to a depth
of six inches. This will deposit the
the young hoppers hatch next spring,
they will have difficulty in reaching
the surface. Many will die without
leaving the ground.
For light soil, it is advised that
after shallow blowing. the land should
be disced and dragged at two week
intervals. This procedure will break
up the egg pods and leave them scat
tered on the surface, where they will
be destroyed by moisture and cold.
In the department bulletin, farm
ers of the infested areas have been
urged to continue scattering poison
bait as long as any grasshoppers ap-
pear.
The department has also asked
county leaders to keep grasshopper
control organizations intact perman-
emily, so, in event of another emer-
gency, work need not be delayed.
Despite the fact that the poison
bait spread in more than 40 counties
accomplished results beyond expecta-
tions, there is possibility that grass
hoppers appear again in districts
where they were in plague proper
tiOns this year. However, in a num-
Der of the less-infested counties, the
poison bait did complete job and
few eggs were laid. Come what may,
the department wants to be ready to
take up the fight against hoppers
next year should they appear in some
communities.
County organizations are conducting
an egg survey at present. Each town.
ship is expected to report conditions
and indicate where eggs are to be
found. When these reports are in,
the federal and state agriculture de-
partments will make a complete in
vestigation of the situation.
This department will leave moth
ing undone to prevent the reoccur-
ance of destructive plaques like those
which have visited northwestern Min
nesota the last two summers.
Weed Reports.
The weed and seed division of this
department has sent the annual blank
reports to the township chairmen
throughout the state. These must be
filled in and returned to our St. Paul
office by Nov. 1.
1t is on these reports that we rely
for information on the weed situation
in Minnesota and as to what has been
done in weed control this summer.
The reports are also necessary as
financial check, as they show us
whether townships are using too
much money, or spending what they
do unwisely, for weed control.
So, township chairmen, we'd appre-
ciate receiving your report on time.
Milk Distribution Probe.
This department is now conducting
an investigation into the cost of dis
tributing milk in the Twin Cities.
The survey was launched at the
request of the Twin City Milk Pro-
ducers association and the Farm
Holiday association.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~

Japan was criticized for having per-
mitted some attacks on the Chinese
(no specifications, such as Shanghai,
emphasized in the published part Of
the reportD attacks which had not
been necessary, and which, therefore,
must be characterized as illegal.
China was criticized because she
had failed to satisfy Japan's eco
nomic interests in Manchuria.
No Penalty.
AS far as the question of Man.
churian sovereignty is concerned,
the Lytton commissions report is
equally straddling:
1t will not do, the report says, to
return Manchurian authority to China
in the same measure as before the
outbreak of hostilities, for then causes
of new strife would arise.
Nor will it do to recognize Japan's
claim to Manchukuo, her conquered
outlet in Chinese territory.
No, the only thing suggested is a
Japanese Chinese conference to ad-
just this very delicate. this highly
dangerous question.
Neatly done-isnt it?
And then, to effectively demon
strate the hopeless futility of the
League, as it is now constituted, the
report fails to recommend that any
punishment be meted out to Japan.
Violations.
While the report does not directly
state that Japan has violated the
League of Nations pact, the nine
power treaty guaranteeing China's
territorial integrity, and the BRAND
treaty against war, it indirectly
makes that charge against Japan by
admitting that the establishment of
Manchukuo is illegal.
In other words: 1t is officially con-
coded that Japan violated at least the
treaty that theoretically safeguarded
Chinese territory.
But not a whisper about punish
ment!
Undermining Covenant.
In view of the fact that imperialist
Japan, whipped on by an aggressive
military clique in Tokyo, has fOrcibly
seized a part of foreign country in
clear violation of all the solemn
agreements mentioned above; in view
of the further fact that the investigat-
ing commission fails to suggest any
penalty for such a crime against
treaties, signed by Japan herself, it
does sound a bit ludicrous when the
report says:
1.-The interests of peace are the
same the world over. Any loss or
confidence in the application of the
principles of the League covenant
and the Briand-Kellogg treaty in any
part of the world diminishes the value
and efficacy of those principles every
where"
That's a true statement, brave
declaration of principle, but how hol-
low it sounds when compared to the
actual fact that illegal conquest by
one power of region belonging to
another, is direct offence against
the League covenant, against the
BRAND Kellogg treaty-and when
nothing is suggested done about it!
Can it be considered wonder that
there is a "loss of confidence in the
application of the League principles?"
Japanese Attitude.
While the military conflict was still
going on in Asia last winter, Japan
let it be known that as she had not
sinned against any international
agreements (that is, not in her own
opinion), she could not recognize the
Leagues authority to interfere" in
matters that were of interest only to
herself and China.
And the League, after making a

The Farm Holiday association, in

eight cents a quart for milk.
