WHAT. NO SILK HAT?

WHAT. NO SILK HAT?
 At the age of six or seven years a child cuts the first of the per- mament teeth, the so-called "six- year molars" which come in back of the temporary molars. Eight bicus- pids, cut at the age of 9 or 10 years, take the place of the eight molars of the first or temporary teeth.
 If any of the baby or temporary teeth are already carious or decayed when the child cuts the four "six- year molars" 1t will probably not be long before these first permanent teeth become decayed too, and loss of these teeth is serious, for 1t pre- sages irregular development of the remaining teeth and early decay.
 For this reason parents should see to 1t that any sign of cavity forma- ton or decay in the child's teeth is brought to the attention of the fam- fly dentor and properly treated be- fore the six-year molars appear. Gen. erally beginning cavity, if the child Is given the advantage of early ex- animation of the teeth, may be ar- rested by simple, painless tempo rary filling. It is a sad mistake to neglect decay of baby teeth on the ground that the child will lose them in @ year or two anyway. Aside from the permanent damage which may be done the permanent teeth by the carious process unchecked in the young child's mouth, the presence of decayed primary or baby teeth is a common cause of infected tonsils and adenoids in children. Tn fact decay in the back tooth or teeth in any month is quite likely to cause tonsil infection-the back tooth and the tonsil are nearly in contact during the process of swallowing.
 It is astonishing how often people neglect this feature of hygiene even when they believe and practice so- called oral hygiene so far as the use of toothbrush and dentrifice are concerned.
 I consider a sound tooth worth at least 5000. However, waste neither time nor money on the "oral hy- giene" just mentioned. Not that 1t does any harm, if one enjoys such monkeyshines. But whether you in- dulge in tooth brushing or not, there is one way, and only one, to keep your teeth clean, and that is by regu- lar visits to the dentor for scaling, polishing, and proper treatment of any Assures or beginning cavities his inspection may reveal. And there Is one way to insure sound, even teeth, and that is by good nutrition good nutrition of your mother be- fore you are born, good nutrition in infancy and throughout childhood and youth.
 If your dentor (dentist to you, old timer) advises brushing your teeth with a particular kind of brush, in a special way and with a specific dentrifice for specific purpose, he knows best what your teeth need. Otherwise, 1t is my conviction that neither a toothbrush nor 8 silk hat signifies gentle breeding.

MIA gervlce gtaff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer <. Good grooming habits are just as important during winter months as they are during hot, sticky summer weather. No fastidious wo. man bathes or uses anti-perspirants less frequently now than she did four months ago.
 The matter of anti-perspirants or deodorants is particularly iin- portant. steam-heated rooms and wool clothes demand that one preparation of this type be used regularly.
 There's Q wide variety of deodor- ant preparations on the market, of course. Simply decide whether you like a deodorant that must be ap. piled daily or an a1ti-perspirant which may be used once or twice a week, Q cream better than liquid or saturated pads better than either, then follow directions carefully.
 The last ru.: is to be taken seri- ously. Directions simply must be followed.
 WAX AWAY
 THE HAIR
 Depilatories, too, have their place in the winter sun. Legs covered by gossamer rhe.:: hose must be as smooth and free from superfluous hair as those which stretch in the sand on the beach.
 Wax depilatories seem to be simpler to use than formerly. The cold waxes are to be stnoothed on, Q strip at a time. A layer of gauge is then pressed into the surface of the wax and, when stuck, yanked off quickly from bottom to top. There are odorless cream deo- dorants which are easy to use. The legs are covered with Q thin layer of the cream which Is rinsed off in few minutes, leaving the legs soft, smooth and absolutely hairless.

Feet Affect the Figure Too

Feet Affect the Figure Too
 "Let me sit downp gasps the woman with aching feet.
 Even her oldest shoes haven't re- lieved the strain on her tortured foot muscles. Severe pain, a hag- gard expression and poor posture are the result.
 Simple exercises for the feet would do wonders for her-enable her to step gaily along like her smartly shod companion.

 To strengthen your metatarsal re- zion so it can take it"-do this simple exercise.
 Lay towel on the floor and keep ing feet pointed straight ahead, place toes on edge nearest you. Keep heels on floor and, using gripping movements of the toes, pull towel back under the insteps. Repeat 5 to z times.
 With right exercises you can cor- rect other body faults too-have a trim, young figure.

- RAISING A FAMILY
--- RAISING A FAMILY Santa Should Not Be Used
 As Club To Punish Child

That is because all associations of the great day are good. And 1t is natural that this mythical saint should represent the best in all.
 Actually, 1t Is parents, harried, hurried and hectic before the holi- days, who are likely to become un- reasonable and impatient.
 Anyway, to tell children that Santa won't bring them anything If they don't step on 1t, is unfair. It shows that we are resorting to some- thing off the record.
 Throughout the year we do use threats, I suppose, and say that we won't take them to Aunt Mary's If they forget to feed Spot or won't give the weekly dime If they don't pass In spelling, but actually we should never use threat.
 A warning is different. It goes something like this: If you lose an- other mitten, Joe, I won't feel like giving you your allowance, for you won't deserve It."

 Diabetes and Nephritis
 Please explain the difference be- tween diabetes and chronic Bright's disesae. G. O. O.
 Answer-Bright's disease (nephri- tis), is chronic inflammation of kid- neys, usually associated with im- pairment of arteries and heart. Diabetes is failure to burn sufficient fuel to supply the energy require- ments of the body, SO that an ex- ces of sugar is constantly present in 
 Lake, Michigan, expresses 1t in his fine Book for Us Diabetics" (the guide book costs $200 and is worth it). the blood sugar rides round and round on the delivery wagon instead of being delivered. Diabetes and nephritis have nothing in common, though in a instances both diseases ocur in the same individual.

 c. What is the correct method for pan-frying or sauteing fish?
 A. For 2 pounds of fillets or steaks about 5-8 inch thick, or 3 pounds whole fish or fish split to about 5-8 inch thick, use l cup yell low cornmeal and equal parts of flour; 1-3 tablespoon of salt and 4 tablespoons of cooking fat or oil. Heat fat over slow fire in a heavy pan, cast-metal if available. Cut fish to service portions. Sift to- gether the cornmeal, flour, and salt. Dip fish in water and cover well with dry ingredients. At the first sign of the fat smoking, place the fish in the pan and cook 3 minutes. Cover the pan and remove 1t from fire to allow fish to cook in its own steam about 2 minutes. Remove cover. turn fish, return pan to flame, and cook minutes longer. Fish less than 5-8 inch thick will require 8 shorter cooking time, while thicker fish will require longer cooking.
