G. ": "Is calcium phosphate
good OF bad with baking soda and
salt in cleaning teeth? What does
it do when so used?"
Answer: Calcium carbonate
Chalk is much better in a tooth
powder than calcium phosphate
because of its abrasiveness. 1t is
in nearly all tooth powders and
tooth pastes. Better put a little
soap in too.

California.
also saw the smaller cyclo-
trone with which Professor Law
renee did so many things to the
atom, many Of them of great medi-
cal significance. The cyclotrone is
the instrument which splits up the
atom. The modern conception Of
an atom is that of a field Of cleo
trio energy. The basic plan OF It's
distinct divisions-then nucleus and
the extranuclear electrons. The
nucleus is composed Of protons
and neutrons. Each contains one =
unit Of mas, and the protons each
have in addition one unit Of positive
electric Charge. Outside the nue.
leus are one or more electrons or
units Of negative electric charges;
ttey are moving at high -peed IN
a number Of different ways; this
speed and energy state may be
easily changed so they are not
stable.
The nucleus on the contrary Is
quite stable. It is the fact that the
cyclotrone can speed the neutrons
with greater energies so that they
can be whirled out like a bullet by
going round and round between
the poles Of an electromagnetic that
gives it major Importance in the
scientific and medical world today.

The bombardment Of various
elements with the discharge from

treatment with certain patients.
The strontium seeks out the
bones; it is probable that il cal
cium were not so much more
abundant than strontium in ma
ture, our bones would have been
made Of strontium instead Of cal
cium. The strontium atoms are
loaded with radiant energy and
come to rest in the bone where
they release their radiations just
as if you put radium all through
the bone cells.

placed in a dark room reveal the
life processes of a particular
chemical element through the
transparent body Of the plant. In
the human body the processes can
not be seen, but by an instrument
that allows you to hear chemical
reactions the same result is eff
fected. Thus iodine atoms can be
tagged and if the instrument is
placed over the thyroid gland, a
fearful din is heard which consists
Of the chemical exchange of iodine
