When DentUres Prove False
Some Troubles Improperly Fitted Teeth Cause

cavity from this cause and other
have described blanched or gray
ish patches and erosions on the
tongue and inner cheeks.
This brings up the subject Of
bad dentures in general and the
relation of systemic disturbances
of the body to traumatic difficult
ties in the teeth. We discussed the
relation of teeth infection to sys-
temic disturbances yesterday. But
all the body disturbances that
come from teeth do not necessarily
have to have a germ origin. The
loss of some teeth places an un-
equal stress on the remaining
teeth, and results in inadequate
mastication and poor nutrition.
Improperly constructed dem
lures put an unusual strain on
the jaws and result not only in
poor digestion and nutrition "a
few months ago we recited the case
of a colleague who lost thirty
pounds right after acquiring a
poorly fitted denture-but to neu-
ralgias, headaches, head noises,
and partial deafness.
In other ways, aside from inva-
sion by germs, the teeth may cause
constitutional trouble - impacted
teeth, overhanging filings, leaky
filings causing nerve exposure,
traumatic occlusion all these
should be rectifed by the dentist
and not carelessly submitted to
wholesale extraction.

ROLL CALL WILL
CLOSE TOMORROW
Satisfactory Progress Report
ed BY Gerdes; Report Will
Be Made Later

The annual roll call OF the VIII
mington chapter Of the American
Red Cross, which will close tomor'
row, is progressing satisfactorily
and a financial report will be made
later, J. Henry Gerdes, chairman
said last night.
Citizens are urgently asked to
respond during the remaining W.
DAYS set aside for the roll call In
order to save the time Of the many
workers who are lending their ef-
forts to this worthy cause, he said.
Attention of the general public
was again called to the Red Cross
tent located in front of the post
office building. Only so cents out
of every membership of 81 or more
goes to national headquarters and
the remainder is used for the work
of the local chapter.
Gerdes said the goal, which has
been set at $1,000, is very small
compared with the tremendous de-
mands and needs of this human
service agency.
Additional workers for the roll
call we're announced last night as
follows: Masonic Temple building,
Miss Marie Boushee; Acme build
ing, Mrs. David Jones and Mrs.
Horace Thompson; Murchison
building, Mrs. Louis Woodbury. and

he had no plans about going back.
