RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De.
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The relation between diet and
good teeth has been and is being
studied in research laboratories
and dental clinics all over the
country. Results of these studies
show that a good diet will build
better teeth.
Vitamin D aids in the building
of a good dental arch and strong
straight teeth which will resist de-
cay. This vitamin helps the body
to make good bones and teeth
from calcium and phosphorus.
Rickets is caused by a lack of
vitamin D and not enough calcium
in the diet. Bowlegs are the most
obvious result of rickets, but other
bones are affected, too. The child
who has suffered from ricketts, is
likely to have a too narrow dental
arch. Consequently the teeth are
too crowded and may become
crooked.
There is much evidence to sup
port the idea that some form of
vitamin d will decrease the
amount of decay even in adult
4 teeth.
Cod liver oil and sunlight are
the most common sources of vita
min D. The use of fresh or evap-
Grated milk to which vitamin D
has been added, egg yoIks and fish
oils will increase this vitamin in
your diet.
Milk and cheese should be used
literally if there is to be enough
calcium and phosphorus for the
best tooth building.
| Scurvy is a disease caused by a
lack of vitamin Q. One of the first
signs of this disease is bleeding
gums and loose teeth. Oranges,
tomatoes, raw cabbage, carrots,
and other vegetables are good
sources of this vitamin.
Lack of vitamin A during the
time the teeth are forming will
cause pitted tooth enamel. These
pockets will hold particles of food
whose fermenting produces acid to
eat away the tooth enamel. Vita
min A rich foods are milk, cream
butter, green or yellow vegetables
egg yolk, and liver.
Starchy and sweet foods ferment
in the mouth to produce an acid
Apparently this acid dissolves
away the protective tooth enamel
and allows decay to begin.
a diet limited in sweets and
starches, but containing a liberal
amount of milk, citrus fruits or to-
matoes, vegetables and eggs, plus
some form of vitamin d is the best
kind of a diet which we now know
for building strong teeth and pre-
venting tooth decay.

D. A. R.-Many National meet
ings are held in the Capitol which
attract great throngs from every
state. One of the most colorful of
these was the 49th Continental
congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution which was
held in Constitution Hall during

panied by patriotic pageantry and

+ APPROPRIATION BILLS-A
though Congress has been coast
ing along for several weeks with
appropriation bills the main order
of business, prospects point to
stormy sessions ahead, prior to ad-
iournment about June Is.
Later in the week the House dis
cussed the amendments to the
Wagner Labor Act. There is no
agitation to restrict nor interfere
with the right of labor to bargain
collectively, but the hearing which
has been in progress for several
months by the Smith Committee
to investigate the administration
of the act has disclosed many
abuses by the personnel. The
American Federation of Labor and
the c. 1. o. have maintained an
active interest, not only to gain
advantages for their respective or
ganizations, but to preserve the
laws detectives.
The House Labor Committee has
adopted some amendments, includ-
ing one to enlarge the board from
three to five members, and Chair
man Mary Norton will seek sus-
pension of the rules to consider her
report. The special Smith Com
mittee also has submitted some
proposed amendments. If and when
this matter reaches the floor, there
is bound to be some intense skir-
mishing. The predominant view
among members of Congress and
many labor leaders is that the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act has not
functioned too satisfactorily be-
cause of inefficient administration

ECHOES FROM CHESWOLD
Saturday last about noon amid
a cold drizzling rain, Mrs. Caleb
Boggs, whose home is near the
railroad track heard meanings az
of distress. She looked over to
the railroad from where the sound
emanated but could see nothing
and thinking it might be a ruse
being practiced by one of the boys
upon another, gave the matter ne
more attention until few minutes
later the same sound caused her
to look further when she discover
ed man lying across the track
seemingly in great agony. see
notified her gentlemen neighbors
who found the man in a helpless,
dazed and apparently speechiess
condition and he was carried over
to the street where Mrs. BoggS
sent for DR.. Smith, who speedily
gave him medical relief. The man
when sufficiently recovered gave
his name as Charles Russell and
papers found with him would ind-
cate this to be his true name.
Enough money was soon collected
to pay his way to Philadelphia
where he said he had numerous
relatives. He said he was subject
to epiletic fits and was thus pros
trated when found.
