|Britain's Food
BY PAUL MANNING

LONDON. - Some 1900, 900 SOL
diers stand idle along England's
coast defense zones because war
has shifted from the Fighting
Front to the Home Front.
Each day with increasing fury
Germany's air force strikes at con-
voy ships and open towns in an
attempt to smash the weakest link
in Britain's defense chain-the
poor of England.
For it is the poor, the man in
the street and his family, who will
decide the outcome of this war by
choosing to Fighter quit-when
the going gets tough.
It's not a question of character.
It's a matter of economics and
food. For as food becomes scarce
and prices boom upward, the
lower third of the population can't
afford milk, vegetables, meat and
the other energy foods. They fill
up on potatoes and starches, are
overcome by lassitude and the
will to win" evaporates.
Germany learned this bitter les
Son in the last great war. England
came within two weeks of learn
ing it when the U-boat campaign of
III nearly drove the little island
to its knees. :
ENGLAND HAS .
SIX MONTHS FOOD
At the moment England has
enough food stored in her great
warehouses to last six months. But
If Germany succeeds in cracking
the convoy system for any period,
England's big problem will be how
to allot the food properly to the
very low income group.
For ration books only make
fod available. They don't help
to buy expensive milk, vegetables,
eggs and bacon for a family of six
living on an earned income of sew
en- dollars a week.

HOLLYWOOD.-Travelog From

Power. With the Burma road now
closed, pictures must be sent to
the interior by air at the almost
%prohibitive cost of $135. Taxes and
distributing costs are so high, and
admission prices so low, Goodman
says, that there are some regions
from which Hollywood gets an &C

Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDENING. M. n.

BY LOGAH CLENDEN1NG, M. d.
A correspondent writes, 'in con-
nection with your article on arth.
ritis I have a question to ask and
that is in connection with dead
teeth. Should one with arthritis
have all his dead teeth extracted?"
1t is a very good question. Ques-
tons are good in proportion to the
difficulty n h a in answering
them. So if this is very good, you
must expect the answer to be
somewhat qualified.
The principles which form the
background of the question are:
first, the idea that arthritis is
caused by focal infection; that the
inflammation of the joints in arth-
ritis gets there from some such
focal point as the teeth or tonsils;
second, that dead teeth are dead
because they have been the seat
of infection.
A dead tooth is one in which the
nerve is degenerated and the pulp
has consequently atrophied. Near
ly always this had been caused
by a previous infection arising
from a filling. Dead teeth often
have begun with APPEAL assesses
these become sterile and harm
less, but they are a potential
source of reinfection.
Individual Matter
So the question comes down to
how much infection a dead tooth
carries, and how much harm it is
doing to the arthritis. This can
only be determined in each indi-
vidual case; no more general rule
can be laid down.
Dentists and physicians are be-
coming more conservative about
this whole matter. After all, teeth
are very valuable adjuncts to nu-
triton. If a dead tooth is not &C
tually doing any harm, it may be
doing a great deal of good. The
fad of radical exodontia is distinct
ly losing its momentum. For years
we have been in an orgy of tooth
pulling. An eminent dental auth
GRITTY said recently that every den
fist should do his utmost to place
all infected teeth in a healthy con-
dition, and only when that has
failed should extraction be consid-
cred.
The head Of a large. memorial
dental clinic states thai the fact
that a tooth has lost it's pulp
(nerve), or that a degenerative
change has taken place around
the root end, are not of themselves
sufficient reasons for extraction.
More Conservative
The theory of focal infection also
has undergone a somewhat con
sentative change. DR.. Oh e S
Mayo said: THE future of medi-
cal science rests with the doctor
who can stop or kill the germs as
they develop in the mouth" The
future of medical science is a
somewhat large order. Doctor Ros-
enow, one of the leaders of the TO-
cal infection idea, writes: II do
not advocate wrecking the mouth"
adding later, "but I do believe a
tooth is only a tooth, while a life
is worth more than all the teeth
in the world"
Doubts about the relation of TO-
cal infection to many human dis
ea-es are recently expressed by
Drs. Arnett and Ennis, who say:
mo statistically significant asso-
citation can be demonstrated be-
tween APPEAL infection of teeth and
underweight, arthritis, kidney dis
ease, chorea or heart disease" !

expectant and nursing mothers as
well as children under five with
near-free milk. And in September
calcium and vitamin B1 in tablet
form is scheduled to be placed in
all bread baked for public con-
sumption.
Yet during the past three weeks
milk, vegetables, bacon, eggs, but
ter and living costs in general
have increased four per cent over
the six per cent jump of June.
The only answer apparently if
food becomes tighter is to start
community feeding on on a wide
scale. That, the Ministry of Food
is about ready to admit after
studying the private feeding ex-
pertinent now being conducted at
the 1900 family slum clearance
housing development in London's
Delgarno Gardens Estate.
This experiment, started by
women volunteers with profess
sional kitchen experience, h a S
been most successful. Excellent
meals for ten, twelve and fourteen
cents, complete with meat, vege.
tables, potatoes and dessert have
been served to nearly 1000 people
a day since the project started.
KITCHEN LOSS
FIRST WEEK
For the first week the kitchen
operated at a loss, but by the end
of the fourth week sufficient profit
was made to pay a return on the
initial investment in kitchen
ranges and to cause the Ministry
of Food to hope that a solution tc
the national food problem had
been found.
Previously the ministry hao
surveyed all centers where com.
munity feeding might be carried
on in the event of a city = wide
bombing.
Ministry officials see only one
possible snag to the plan. Until
a real crisis develops, there is
natural reluctance on the part oil
England's poor to be a part of a
herd at family meal time. The

successful because a family could

Book Highlights

If anything detracts from Ivan
Lebedeff's Legion of Dishonor,"
Overweight: $2), it is the fact
that wars today are too swift, too
crushing and too annihilating for
courage and friendship between,
enemies. Blitzkrieg provides no op-
portunity to honor ones foes, how
ever courageous they may be.
The Legion of Dishonor,"
therefore, stands small chance Of
existence today. 1t belongs to the
World War I. Because of that,
Lebedeff's story gathers the un-
reality of a historical novel.
Harry O'Brien, American news
paperman and volunteer in
Frances army of 1914, is sent on a
scouting expedition into No Mans
Land to clear up a mystery of
corpse robbing. In an ancient,
shell-torn castle he finds the lie
gion of Dishonor," a group Of de-
serters of both allied and German
armies, living in the safety of the
castles cellars.
To the Legion comes Col. Egon
Won Ritter, Germany's internation-
ally famous authority on strategy.
Deprived of his command, his tao
tics disregarded, Ritter replaces
his superior's orders with his own
plan, loses a battle and is con-
demned to living death in an in
sane asylum. With Ritter is Con-
rad Stockmar, quiet, meticulous
French officer.
O'Brien, Ritter, and Stockmar
assume command of the Legion.
Even when Ingeborg Won Storm,
wounded German Red Cross
nurse, is brought to the castle,
the even tenor of the deserters'
life is not unusually disturbed.
