vitanin intake must be concerned in the development of researches. From all the available observations made upon this point I infer that the daily intake of vitamin A, via min D and vitamin c is important that these vitamins are most likely to be deficient in the diet and that they are especially es- sential for normal development and maintenance of the teeth, gums, tooth sockets and jaws.
 If I had any indication of pyor- rhea I'd continue taking the Iodine Ration q take that anyway. as a matter of health conservation, as believe nearly every one Should) and I'd apply diluted Talbot's solu- tion to teeth and gums once week or two, and I'd supplement my diet by taking, or with any other meal, one super-vitamin capsule containing 15,000 units of vita min A, 1,50O units of viamin D, 10 mgs. vitamin c, 600 units B1, 100 gammas of B2, enough of all the essential vitamins to insure ade- quate intake even though the diet be poor in vitamins. I'd continue these three measures not just for a while but the year around.

He imme- diately led c club and took the finesse. Now, of course. he had to lose Q spade trick. and while he made four-odd, he received bottom score on the board.
 Before taking the club fineESe, West should have reasoned that f tho fourth spade could bc estab- ilshed. his losing club, could be dis- carded on it. If it could not be established, he could always resort t0 the club finesee.

WOMAN,S REALM :
GlOrifing Yourself
Hy ARcia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

NEA Service StaM Writer
 The dead-pan look is something everyone should avoid. No matter how Beautifully groomed or smartly dressed a woman is, she is not att tractive when her face is completely expreSSionleSS.
 The habit of sitting at your desk and staring blankly into space doesn't make other workers believe that you are 8 deep thinker. It en- courages them to speculate on whether or not you are quite bright.
 It's 8 mistake to think that you can let your face drop and allow all expression to leave your eyes just because you are in 8 crowd where nobody knows you. The dead-pan look can become habit. If you tol- crate it when you are alone or when you think others are not looking, it very likely will become one.
 Keeping your mind on what you are trying to do at the moment or preparing it for what is to come within the hour will ward of any inclination to stare and look utterly blank.
 Instead of walking along the street with head down and vacant expression all over your face, think about what you are going to buy when you get to the store or what you are going to talk about when you get to the party or about the story that interested you most in the mornings paper.
 In other words, for the sake of your mind as well as your face, don't make habit of thinking about nothing and looking it-for half an hour at a time.

IODINE AND pYoRRHEA

Numerous correspondents have assured me, within the past few years, that the Iodine Ration (for instructions for taking the Iodine Ration send stamped envelope bear ing your address, and periodic ap- plications of diluted Talbot'S Solu- ton (glycerite of iodine and zinc iodide, N. F.) to the gums and teeth in the manner the dentists inStructs has brought about great improve ment, some say 8 complete cure of pyorrhea or chronic gingivitiS or in- hammation of gums and tooth sock cts.
 The diluted Talbot's solution now included in the National Formulary Standard formulas followed by all druggistS is not nearly so strong as the solution originally suggested to dentists and physicians by the late Dr. Eugene Talbot. But it is probably as strong as a layman may safely use even under the il- struction of his or her physician or dentist. Talbot gave the formula for his solution in the Jour. A. M. A. April 2, 1910. He suggested that the physician or dentist apply it to the gums and buccal surfaces adjacent to the teeth few minutes before mouth or tonsil operations, or at regular intervals in the treat ment of pyorrhea. He suggested that an application once a month in children's mouths would prevent tooth decay. I repeat Talbot's solution is safely applied to teeth or gums or inner surfaces of. cheeks only under the supervision of your own physician or dentist.
 It is absurd to hope that the use of any such remedy can be of avail in long neglected pyorrhea, after the vital tissues of the tooth sockets and gums have atrophied and shrunk. But if used in the earlier stages of pyorrhea before degeneration has progressed too far, the Iodin Ration internally and Talbot's solution locally will give considerable benefit.
 In conjunction with this treat ment, I conclude from my own study of the scientific literature up to the present date, that habitual prolonged moderate deficiency in
