a greater appreciation of the value

need food as we'll as other plants.

done. Trees which through neglect

TEETH AND HEALTH
By Samuel M. Fink, d. d. s.
HOW TO TEACH CHILDREN TO
BRUSH THEIR TEETH

1t is easy for little children to
learn to brush their teeth, if they
have the right equipment, someone
to show them how, or someone for
them to initiate, and, most important
of all, someone who cares enough to
look and see if their teeth are clean
when they have finished brushing
them.
A child's toothbrush should BIT
small and kept on hook or holder
that is easy to reach. The salt,
toothpaste, or powder should be In
small container. If possible a mir
ror should be hung low enough for
the child to see himself.
When teaching children to brush
their teeth, you should show them
how, giving directions as follows:
Put your brush way inside your
cheek upper left hand corner)
brush all along the outside of your
teeth, like this"
Rinse your mouth"
Put your brush way back here
Clover left hand corner) and brush
all around like this
Brushing the inside, in the same
way, may be omitted at first, If it
seems too difficult"
Nov open your mouth wide and
brush the tops of your teeth back
and forth, like this"
'Put your brush under the water
to wash it, like this"
"Take some water from this glass
and blow your cheeks cut like this
(rinsing the mouth)."
Feel around your teeth with
your tongue, do they feel smooth
and clean?"
Let me see how pretty they
look" :

POULTRY PROBLEM GETS AT
TENTION OF ADJUSTMENT
ADMINISTRATION

Unless something is done to cor
rect the situation, producers Of poul-
try and eggs may face higher prices
for feed and for labor, as well as a
higher cost of living, without cor
responding increases in the prices Of
the things they sell. This fact has
been recognized by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration and an
attempt is being made to devise q
plan whereby prices of poultry and
eggs may be brought to pre-war
parity. The problem is proving to
be one of the most puzzling that has
been tackled thus far, but series
of informal conferences with pro-
ducers and distributors is being held
in an effort to work out practical
solution.
A number of factors make the
poultry problem especially difficult
One of these is the fact that poultry
is produced on such large number
OF farms. Records show that s.
100000 Of the 100000 farms in
the United States produce poultry or
eggs, and only a relatively small
number of the chickens are on
farms that specialize in poultry. It
is possible for producers to get into
and out of poultry and egg produce
ton in one season, thus making posi-
sibls wide fluctuations in supply and.
therefore, Of prices. Other factors
that add to the difficulty are the
facts that there are so many buyers.
that poultry and eggs are handled by
several groups of middlemen befora
reaching the consumer, and that no
price-raising plan can be effectivd
unless it takes into account the
large supplies of cold storage eggs
and poultry, which are SAID 20 be 4N
to SO per cent greater than a year
ago.
Poultry and eggs were not include
ed as basic commodities in the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Act, so that the
production control mechanisms be,
ing used on wheat and cotton cane
not be applied to them.

plan, advocates of the plan, which
was rejected in an election last
year, are claiming today.
At present county officials are

to be paid for with funds they
hope to borrow from the Fed
eral Government.
Efforts to have the county
adopt the Byrd road plan, if the
legislature will permit, are being
carried forward in all sections of
the county. The plan proposed
that the county turn all main
tenance of county roads over to
the State.
Fairfax county, which adopted
the plan, is receiving a larger
amount of road work than was
estimated at the time of the

to be resulting.

PUBLIC HEARING
 FOR MIRA CLEANERS
Much Interest in Session Being Held at Wash=
 ingtOn

Developments in the MIRA public hearings in Washington in which 100 alleged violators of dry clean ing price regulations were given opportunities yesterday to plea, are being watched by local cleaning establishments. The session in Washington produced some very interesting information concerning the battle behind the scenes be- tween old-line establishments maintaining deliveries and the cash and carry cleaners.
 Only three of the violators ar raigned yesterday agreed to ob- serve minimum price regulations; several asked for a continuance of a day to consult counsel, while the majority flatly refused. Their names have been turned over to the federal trade commission for punitive action. The nature of prosecution was not announced.
 It was claimed that if the code was strictly adhered to that many establishments would be obliged to argued that they could make a profit below the code prices and that they should have a lower price than that set for firms with delivery and credit service.
 S. R. Greenblat represented the Waterbury clients at the hearing. According to press reports Attor- ney John J. McCrary of New Ha- ven argued a 95 per cent minimum rate for cleaning and pressing and announced that he represented clients in New Haven, Waterbury and Bridgeport.
