Teeth Care Should
Begin At Early Age
No Part Of Human Machine That
Needs More Constant Care

Speaking Of the Importance OF con-
stant and intelligent care of the teeth
as a means of maintaining mouth
health, Dr. Richard C. Leonard, Chief
of the Division Of Oral Hygiene of the
State Department of Health said that
the large number of reflections among
army and navy draftees because Of
the unsatisfactory condition Of their
teeth. has startled thousands of men
and women into realizing that you are
not likely to have good general health
if you have bad teeth.
There is no part Of the human ma
chine" he continued, "that needs more
constant or more intelligent care than
the teeth. And the best time to start
is with the first or baby teeth. Just
why this care is so important, is ex-
planned in a recent bulletin of the
American Dental Association, as fol-
lows:
"The future health of the child is,
in a measure, dependent on the atten-
ton given him during the period of
the first teeth
"The front deciduous, or baby teeth,
come in at about the age of six
months, and should remain in the
mouth for at least six years. The baby
molars, which come in between the
first and second year, should remain
between eight and ten years.
"The fact that baby teeth are tenn
porary should not be used as a pre-
text for carelessness with regard to
them, for their function is vital. If
cavities ppear, they should be very
promptly cared for Neglect may re-
suit in infection which may seriously
affect the health.
"One of the most important items
in the preservation of baby teeth is
proper diet. Milk and other dairy pro-
ducts, green leafy vegetables, fruits,
meat, eggs, bread and cereals made
from whole grains are indispensable
in the young child's diet The child
should be taught to chew his food
properly.
"From the time the child is 18
months old, a small soft-bristled
brush should be used with a normal
salt solution. When most of the teeth
are in, an unmedicated mild tooth
paste may be substituted for the salt
solution.
"As soon as the child is able to
brush his own teeth, he should be
taught to do so thoroughly, but the
brushing should be done under careful
parental supervision.
Examination by a dentist should
take place at least every six months
after 213 or 8 years Of age, or even
earlier if dark spots appear on the
teeth.
"The rewards of such care are both
immediate and lasting. They are
protection against many ills of child
hood and an insurance for dental
health in later years"

LETTER. A little girl from Westfeld. New
York, once wrote Abe Lincoln letter. 1t
went like this:
II am little girl, eleven years old >.
have you any little girls about as large as
lam If you will let your whiskers grow,
you would look great deal better for your
face is 50 thin q. I.must not write any
more answer this right off. Good bye.
Grace Bedell"
A few months later, Lincoln let his
beard grow. On one of his trips he passed
through Westheld and Immediately sent
for Grace. He thrilled her by pointing to
his beard and saying: ''You see Il let
those whiskers grow for you, Grace"
BOOK H. Jack Lang has put that and
other revealing Lincoln stories in his
just published book, The Wit and Wis
dom of Abraham Lincoln" Stories of
man whose words have new meaning to-
day when democracy is again In danger.
There's probably no better key to
Linooln's character than his remark as
young lawyer which explained why he had
not delivered the usual long appeal:
II shall never be old enough to speak
without embarrassment when have moth
ing to say"
Just after Lincoln was elected President,
a Professor Gardner wrote him and asked
for a soap testimonial. His return letter
read:
Dear Sir: Some specimens of your
Soap have been used at our house and
Mrs. L. declares it is superior article. She
at the same time protests that have never
given sufficient attention to the soap ques-
ton to be competent Judge"
WIT. Lincoln didn't like the tone of busi-
ness letter inquiring about man he
knew. His reply was short, pointed:
Yours of the 10th received. First of
all, he has wife and baby; together they
ought to be worth $5OO,OOO to any man.
Secondly, he has an office in which there
is a table worth Sl5O and three chairs
worth, say 81. Last of all, there is in one
corner large rat-hole, which will bear
looking into"
Still fresh and meaningful is Lincoln's
definition of democracy:
LAS would not be Stare, so would
not be master. This expresses my idea of
democracy. Whatever differs from this. to
the extent of the difference, is no democ-
racy." -JERRY MASON

NICKNAME. Try this on your neighbor.
Point your finger at him and say: Brother
Jonathan needs YOU"
Chances are he would have no idea
what you were talking about. Not many
people do. But there was a time when
Brother Jonathan rivaled Uncle Sam as
nickname for the United States.
Brother Jonathan was product of the
Revolutionary War; Uncle Sam of the
War of 1872 The name is supposed to
have come from Jonathan Trumbull, gov
enor of Connecticut during the Revolution
The governor was a close friend and
adviser of Washington. In times of great
stress, the general would say I'VE must
consult Brother Jonathan" The saying
caught on, and gradually Brother Jonathan
became the American equivalent of the
English John Bull
But later the name dropped out of
popular use Brother Jonathan really didn't
have a chance against a contender like
Uncle Sam.

WHAT | DIDN'T KNOW

Yr WAS my great good fortune to be

entered his employ. had lots of theory,
and good apprenticeship, but the in
tangibles of professional life had not
become part of my personal makeup. As
he said on more than one occasion, what
didn't know would fill big book.
l was eventually nearly five years in
that Office. My boss was consulting en-
gineer and was his personal assistant.
Part of my work was to travel around
England to get measurements and prepare
plans for installations. Very often we had
competitors, and it was important to have
accurate information on existing buildings
and plants, so that we could estimate labor
costs very closely.
Ienjoyed travelling about the country. l

ease and comfort of my life had somewhat
undermined my sense of responsibility. A
youth of that age has great many things
to think of and was normal enough in
that respect.
Twas also fully aware that had good
job, and that good Jobs were hard to find.
But I did not realize, inside, the lesson
was to learn when l was sent to large
county hospital about hundred miles
from London to get particulars for in
stalling some new machinery.
Itook the next train and arrived around
noon at the hospital, which was about

had them - all the usual technical details
and rushed off to have lunch in the
nearby CITY, Then went home.
NExr morning made drawing of the
layout and took it in to the old man. As l
have said, he was a person of character He
was not only successful in his profession,
but he had four sons whom he had trained
and who were successful also. 1t was not
possible for me to pull any wool over his
eyes - even if had wanted to. My atti-
tude towards him was blend of affection,
admiration and fear He has been dead for
many years now, and still have the same
feeling for him.
He looked at my sketch. 1t indicated
that the new machines required an extra
countershaft which had to be bracketed to
the wall behind them. He asked how thick
that wall was.

remained painfully obvious that l had
been a hundred miles to get some in
formation, vital information, and had
not got it.
At last the old man took out his gold
watch and said:
You can catch the ten-fifty. Go down
there again, and get the thickness of that
wall"

same as the rest of the building,

Whenever they see her, she s toiling in her

were building new house near us, my
wife was laying some stones for walk.

VICTORY. In occupied Norway, the Ger

arrest anyone who sought to remove their
posters from walls or shop windows.

over Oslo, each with large ''V," and
underneath, this text: Germany is win

posters were still there but the wording
had mysteriously changed. The word

stood: ''V is winning on all fronts" M.
