TooTHAcHE HITS CHIEFS

Toothache is no respecter of persons,
and Vice-President Garner were both suf-
fering from this distressing ailment at the
same time, the former losing one tooth and
the latter two. T
A recent bulletin of the Dental Insti-
tute of America warns against neglecting
toothache which is natures signal that
even more serious trouble may lie ahead.
The bulletin points out that sound tooth
seldom causes pain, but when a sharp dis
turbance occurs it means the exposure of a
nerve, usually due to decay 1t adds:
"The live, soft tissue of a tooth is
known as pulp. 1t consists of the nerve and
blood vessels as well as the soft tissues lin
ing the inside of the tooth When there is
exposure or decay, the pulp becomes in
fected and the process of decomposition
sets in rapidly"
If neglected, the decay continues in
to the nerve which dies from infection and
the germs reach the nerve canal which
goes all the way to the end of the root,
causing more pain and inflammation Dead
teeth usually become discolored and there
is danger of abscess formation at the root.
Proper cleaning at least twice a day
and regular dental supervision alone can
solve the problem of tooth decay. The fill
ing of cavities before the nerve is affected
will keep the teeth alive and healthy

The transaction can be explained
briefly and in simple terms. Begin
ming on January !, 1897, ali employees,
who come under the provisions of the
old-age insurance section of the Social
Security Act, began paying / per cent
OF their wages or salaries to the. Fed
eral government The employer pays
in the same amount. The rate in
creases over a period Of years until
it equals 3 per cent, each, for en-
ployee and employer In l948.
These contributions ar not segre-
gated in special fund and dedicated
to old-age insurance. Instead, they
are treated as out-and-out taxes and
go into the general funds of the
Treasury. They may be utilized for
anything for which the general funds
of the Treasury can be spent.
The funds paid into the Treasury
for old-age insurance are merely a
measure Of what the Treasury owes

cash Is spent by the government,
United States bonds are put into this
Account as an indication of what the
government owes to this fund. But
the money is spent: il IS gone: It is not

IT a person buys insurance the conn
pany invests the funds in the secure
ties of other debtorS-governmental
units or corporations. These securi-

II the Federal government followed
this procedure it would invest the
old-age premiums in the securities Of

pie, in the bonds of the Canadian, Eng
liSh, or other foreign governments.
Then it would have assets which it

Such a TRANSACTION would be consid-

In essence. the Federal government
Is engaging in precisely this sort-of
transaction with respect to its use of
the premiums paid in for old-age in
rance. When demands are made
upon the government for payment of
old-age pensions in the future, it win
be necessary for it to raise the funds.
Since this must eventually be done. it
should be clear that it could be done
without INDUCING in the present
hocus pocus. In the last analysis, pres
ent payments for old-age insurance
are merely taxes which rest upon
those with salaries under $4,000 per
year and upon paying employers.
When old-age pensions must be paid,
more taxes must be levied or more
funds borrowed,
It is deplorable that a government

RACE BILL TAKEN

BY unanimous vote, the House Dis

controversial racing bill from the
House calendar.
Action was taken in executive ses-
sion, one of the few held by the COM
mittee at the current session of Con-
greSS. Chairman Norton, however, in.
dicated there would be many more
such in the future to avoid trouble. :"
The committee also decided not to
consider the racing bill again before
April is. At that time, consideration
will be given to a proposal to refer
1t to special subcommittee for fur
ther consideration.

Chairman Norton declared the COM
mittee's action did not kill the bill
Predictions were freely made, by its
opponents, however, that no further
action will be taken on it at the pres
ent session. Mrs. Norton pointed out
that the only objections made to the
Dill IN committee were that public
hearings had not been held on it.
The committee also favorably re-
ported bill designed to prevent blind
ness in children by requiring a prophy-
tactic treatment Of the eyes of infants
at birth. The original measure was
amended, however to remove a pro-
vision which would have exempted
faith healers.

Oklahoma, the committee approved
