that nearly 100 per cent of all ba. bies are born with perfect teeth, but five or six years later when these children start to school 90 per cent of the children have one or more cavities in the teeth.
 Such a state of affairs calls to mind the story of the man who had SO much money In his checking &C., count that he didn't think he could ever spend 1t all. Then one day the bank called him up and told him he had overdrawn his account. After checking through his records he found that he actually faced de- felt.
 The same situation seems to be tue with regard to dental defects. We are bor nwith good set of teeth and are not too concerned about what may happen to them as the years go by, until suddenly we realize that we are far from having the kind of teeth we might have had. For teeth are Q living part of the body, and as such are constant- ly in need of new materials to keep them in perfect condition. The vit- amins and minerals 50 important for the nutrition Of the teeth are carried to the teeth by tiny blood vessels directly to the interior of tho teeth. If a good supply of the vitamins and minerals Is not avail- able in this blood supply, there is q gradual breakdown in dental health. In other words, the bank ac. count is overdrawn for enough re. pair materials have not been sup- piled to take the place of those used up in the living tooth.
 If teeth are to be maintained in the best condition possible, 0 visit to the dentist twice a year and ade- quate brushing is necessary. Tn ad- diticn milk is essential in everyones diet as well as plenty of fruits. and vegetables as well as eggs, whole- grain cereals and meat. The excess sive use of sweets hsould of course be avoided,

Celebrate
 March 17With Buffet Supper
RY MARIE CLIFFORD

 It Is about time for sons and daughters of old Erin to don the green and celebrate the commem- oratIon day of their patron saint, st. Patrick. It gives all the rest of us an excuse, too, to put on 2 party with clever food ana tapie decorations.
 How about giving a st. Patrick's card party and serve buffet sup- per first. For such an evening make all the food and party places gay and informal In keeping with the holiday.
 Of course, you'll want to carry out a green and white color scheme both in decoration and food. But do be careful to avoid an excess or green. Foods which are artihcially tinted-like meringueS or whipped creatn or candies should be mere tints of green. Let higher greens be emphasized in fresh asparagus, bright lettuce, bits of green pepper or green olives.
 For table decorations we suggest these:
 For a more formal set.up; snowy white cloth, graceful white flowers with delicate green foliage and tall green tapers. -
 For an informal table; little white painted pots of bright green sham rocks or cacti, or tall white tapers set onto a base of green cut-out shamrocks or tall green hats.
 Let the Irish note in the menu | I,.- At. . fa..... x.e cia a ,o Ck knyiakir fnAd such as big Irish potatoes, pigs in blankets, Shamrock rolls, and pale green salads and desserts. And you'd best make the beverage tea with cream.
 It Is easy to figure green vege- tables and salads: Peas, green beans, broccoli, asparagus, spinach for vegetables; and for green salads, cucumbers and pineapple in lime gelatin, green tinted pears, green peppers stuffed with cream cheese. Here are two suggested Buffet Menus:
 Irish Pork Pies (IndividuaO
 Green Asparagus Tips Cheese Stuffed Celery - Stufted
 Olives
 Shamrock Biscuits Nodded Lime Gelatin Salad with
 Pineapple and Almonds Mint Ice Cream in Meringue Shells
 (2)
 Pigs in Blankets - Parsley Potatoes
 Minted Green Peas Cucumber, Watercress and Lettuce l
 Shamrock Rolls - Butter
 Sweet Pickles
 Wearing O The Green Cakes -
 Black Tea
 PIGS IN BLANKETS

Men Wish
 for Meaty Dish

When a man says "br-r-r-r," that's his way of saying he wants brown bread and bacon and beans. For "br-r-r.r" means cold days. And cold days call for hot, nourishing food.
 Thank goodness for snowy days, we say, anticipating the rich good- ness of bacon or ham with navy beans and served up with brown bread. Or brisket of beef with beans. Or hamburger savory. Or perhaps the honey quality of frankfurters with baked beans just suits the nose- nippng weather.
 If you'd do up your hot dish in a jiffy, try the following recipes which blend vitamins with good flavor:
 Br-r.r.r-r Casserole
 Turn two cans of baKed beans into @ greased casserole. Top with 9 or 10 slices of bacon. Bake in Q moderate oven (350 degrees F) un- til beans are heated through and bacon is crisp and brown (l5 to 20 minutes). Serves four.
 Hamburger Savory
 Heat 3 tablespoons salad oil in Q skillet. Then add # cup sliced peeled onions, 1 cup diced celery. 1 pound ground chuck beef, and cook, uncovered, about 10 minutes. Add 4 cups canned pork and beans, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pow dered sage, F cup water or canned tomato juice. Heat thoroughly. Serves 6.
 Frankfurter and Bean Casserole 8 frankfurters
 4 tablespoons pickle relish 4 cups canned pork and beans 2 tablespoons minced onion
 Simmer frankfurters in boiling water to cover for minutes. Drain: slit lengthwise part-way through; fill with pickle relish, and cut in halves crosswise. Arrange alternate layers of the baked beans, frank furters, ard onion in a casserole, with frankfurters on top. Bake un- covered in 8 hot oven of 400 degrees F. for 45 minutes. Serves 6.
 If you have time to let 8 dish cook long and luxuriantly good, try this excellent cold-weather dish:
 Brisket of Beef with Beans 1 pound beef brisket
 1 pound navy beans
 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 onion
 Soak beans in cold water over night. Drain and put in heavy kettle. Add brown sugar. salt and pepper. and sliced onion. Put beef hrisket on top. Cover with water. Cover kettle and cook in $50 de. grees F. oven until meat is tender and beans done. about 3 hours. Add more water when necessary.

Recipes For Fish Days

Broiled SmeltS
 i2 smelts
 3 tablespoons butter
 tablespoon lemon juice
 1 tablespoon salt
 is tablespoon pepper
 3 tablespoons flour
 Small smelts are not always split open and cleaned, but the entrails are squeezed out carefully so as not to bruise the fish, and the heads arc sometimes left on. When the smelts are large, however, cutting down the belly to remove entrails is more satisfactory. Put butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a deep plate on the back of the stove where the fat will slowly melt. On another plate, place the flour. Wash and wipe the fish and roll 1t in the melted, sea- soned fat, and then lightly in the flour. Arrange on double broiler and cook four or five minutes over clear coals. Serve on a warm dish with remoulade sauce.
 Hallbut Creole
 2 pounds halibut
 2 cups stewed tomatoes
 cup water 3 cloves
 1 slice onion
 2 tablespoons butter
 tablespoon flour
 Salt and pepper Sliced lemon
 Put the tomatoes, water. cloves and onion on the stove in a stewpan to boil. Mix the utter and flour to- gether, stir them into the sauce when 1t boils and add the salt and pepper. Cook ten minutes and strain into bowl. Pour boiling water into deep plate to tn depth of one-half inch, and lay the fish in 1t for one minut skin side down. when the fish is removed from the water, the black skin can be taken of easily. Wash the flsn in cold water. season with salt and pepper and lay 1t on the baking sheet in dripping pan, put sliced lemon on top. then pour half the tomato sauce around the fish and bake in hot to moderate oven (425 degrees to $50 degrees FJ for thirty to forty minutes, basting three times with the remainder Of the tomato sauce. Pour the sauce remaining in the bottom of the pan around the fish on the serving platter.
