Il have written to Tom Walsh in
regard to the Ryder Cup matches.
They are very much interested, but
their proposition is a $3.50 arrange
ment, with SO per cent of the net
proceeds going to the P. G. A. and
so per cent going to the Red Cross
or some other relief organization. !"
Chevy Chase has not been az

to bring the best professional golf
talent in the land here for a two

Carries in Temporary Teeth

Dental carries has long been rec
ognized as an important cause Of
the loss Of the teeth. Until recent
years attention given tooth decay
has been conferred on the adult
teeth. 1t is now recognized that
decay of the temporary teeth may
lead to impairment of nutrition
and digestion and to lack of proper
development and malocclusion Of
the permanent teeth.
Not only decay Of the tooth sub
stance itself tcaries), but pyor-
rhea also is seen in children. AS
Mccall and Wald, of the Guggen-
helm Dental Clinic, New York,
say: Every typical manifestation
Of periodontal disease. (pyorrhea)
found in the middle-aged patient
is also to be found in the young
adult and even in rare instances
in children.
Ceases have been known in
which periodontal disease severe
enough to necessitate extraction
of all teeth occurred at eleven
years Of age"
The enamel, the hardest part Of
the tooth, constituting the biting
surface, may show lack Of develop
ment due to deficiency of minerals
and vitamins in the diet. In such
cases the enamel does not develop
the hardness and toughness it
should.
This can be seen in the tempo
rary teeth as well as the perma-
nent, and proper supervision of
diet begun at that age may pre-
vent trouble in later life when the
permanent teeth are subject to the
same nutritional deficiencies. This
is the real field of diet in the pre-
vention Of tooth decay.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
V. R.:-"Is there any harm in
using a deoderant which stops
perspiration for from two to three
days." -
Answer: Preparations which
stop perspiration are usually as
tringents such as aluminium chic
ride or aluminium sulfate and they
ere likely to be irritating. But
you should know by experience
whether the preparation you are
using is irritating.
J. L.:-"Have heard of eating
yeast as a medicine. Please tell us
in what ways it is good and how
much should be eaten"
Answer: Yeast has been recon-
mended for nearly everything
from skin rashes to constipation,
but so far as medical science can
prove, it does no good in any Of
them. 1t does contain vitamins,
however.

When the Aces romped over the

sent the Urban Hi League into a
TWO way tie between the Tigers
The Omaha guide., 1941-03-22

and the Ramblers. These two
teams will engage in a play off
within the next three weeks.
The Ramblers are defending
champs. They beat the Aces last
year in a play-off tourney. The
Ramblers have the best evenly
divided team if they would play
together in a unit. Five of their
players made the Urban HAL
Star team. Maybe that is the
mater-too many stars. Whenev-
er they do decide to play together
as a unit they have one of the
smoothest running machines ever
to play on the Urban court. But
this is not often enough. Their
lineup includes Richard Gray, one
of the leagues best blackboard ar
fists, Bobby Fry, a small, clever
and sly forward, Sonny Triggs,
who plays best when the chips are
down, Lloyd Gray, a quiet and un-
assuming guard, Bus McCants, a
tall, lanky player, Joe Fagin, a
rough and ready sub, Don Stanley
a fast improving little front liner
and Maurice Hudspeth, first year
man from the Grade League.
The Tigers have the most exper-
fenced team in the league. Brown
and Britt have been playing to-
gether for several seasons. Their
array of talent includes Willie
Wise, league high scorer, Frank
Brown, a left handed streak of
lightning, Sid Britt, smooth
front liner, Clarence Smith, a tall
guard and Hardy Meeks, cool,
and calm guard. Joe Crossley,
who quit the team during the sea
son when they were six games a.
head, might return to play with
them during the playoffs. The
Tigers might miss the heady play
of Bobby Popps, who is in CCC
