ON sour stomach, indigestion, and heartburn,

TOOTH BRUSH IS AN
IMPORTANT THING
Necessary Part Of Vaca-
ton Outfit, Says DR..
r. C. Leonard

Don't forget your tooth brush
when you pack your bag for your
summer vacation. Treat yourself
TO new one if yours has been in
use for some time. Tooth brushes
are not supposed to last indefin-
itely, you know. But most import
ant of all. according to DR.. Rich
ard c. Leonard, chief of the divi-
sion of Oral Hygiene of the State
Department of Health is to be
sure you keep up your regular
practice of brushing the teeth. at
least twice day. Put your
mind into what you are doing, :
DR.. Leonard says brush the gums
as well as the teeth: brush with
care. up and down. and across the
surfaces of the teeth.
AS 10 these brushes: I'VE are
all OF us inclined to hang on TO
our old tooth brushes until the
bristles get soft and soggy. When
they are in that state they are no
good for cleaning purposes; to re-
move dirt and debris from around
the teeth. or to stimulate the cir
culation in the gums. which is
what the tooth brush is intended
to do. For all of these purposes,
clean brushes with firm up-stand.
ing bristles are a necessity.
But even new brush cannot
be depended upon to prevent tooth
troubles unless it is used proper
ly. Proper tooth brushing calls
for the thorough. vigorous brush
ing of the teeth = all surfaces =
at least twice day. Food debris
may accumulate in tiny crevices
in the teeth or may lodge in the
spaces between the teeth. To pre-
vent possible decay of the teeth,
this must be removed. 1t cannot
be done with a lick and a prom
ise' brushing.
Finally. do not depend upon
tooth-brushing either as a curative
agent of dental disorders. or as a
one hundred per cent preventive
of such disorders. Tooth brush,
ing is a cleanliness practice that

once started.
1t is only when proper mouth
cleanliness habits are combined
with a proper tooth-saving diet
and regular dental attention that
one may consider his or her
mouth well guarded. The strict
observance OF three habits are
necessary for the maintenance of
healthy mouths:
Eating right foods.
"3-Having your teeth examin-
ed by a competent dentist at least
twice year.
3.-CIeansing the teeth and
mouth thoroughly at least twice

WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT
SOCIAL SECURITY

On his recent visit TO business
houses and Industrial plants in
this area. Charles E. Bailey. man.
ager of the Hagerstown office of
the Social Security Board, called
attention to the fact that en-
ployers' quarterly old age insur-
ance reports are due on or before
August l.
Ordinarily. the deadline for the
report is the last day Of the
month following the quarer for
which it is filed
However, since July 81 falls on
Sunday. Bureau of Internal Reve-
nut regulations provide that the
report may be filed on the next
following business day. August L
The return covers employees
wages during April, May and
June 1t is the second quarterly
report to be made on the new
Form SS-la. Taxes are payable
at the time of filing the quarterly
return. This new procedure for
wage reports which was put into
use early in 1888 helps to simplify
the work required by employers.
Mr. Bailey emphasized the fact
that employers wage returns
must show each employees name
and his Social Security Account
number, and the amount of tax
able wages paid TO him during the
quarter He also said that each
employees benefits are based on
his total wages from employment
covered by the old-age insurance
plan. and for this reason employ
ers should see that the names
shown in their pay rolls conform
exactly with the names on their
employees cards.
Since the amount of old-age in
surance which any insured work
er viii receive depends on the
amount of his wages. an accurate
record must be kept Of those
wages, he added.
Wage reports are submitted at
regular intervals by the employer
to the Bureau of Internal Reve-
nue.. After these reports are
checked, they are used by the
Social Security Board to enter the
wages las reported thereon) in
the workers Social Security Ae-
count.
Mr.. Bailey declared that bust
nessmen can save themselves I'M
necessary work and also help
their employees get full benefits
due them. by making sure that
wages paid each employee during
the quarter are correctly report
ed. Making corrections in errone-
Gus wage reports results in dou
BILE work for the employer and
also delays the posting of the
wages I'd employees Social Se-
eurity Accounts.
In order that each employees
Social Security Account number
may be given in the wage report,
employers should keep a perman-
ent record of these numbers. If
an employee fails TO apply for q
number. the employer is required
to file an application for him. APP
plications may be made at the
Hagerstown Office of the Social
Security Board, IA West Wash
