FIRST KEY TO VITE: SAVE
YOUR TEETH

The old adage about men digging
their graves with their teeth meant,
of course, premature physical break
down or decline from intemperance
in eating, from overeating. At the
same time, when the adage was first
uttered or written, two or three CEN
turtles ago, men probably had teeth
to dig with, even though there were
no dentists to save their teeth for
them. Dentists, let us remember,
have been practicing as dentists
properly trained for thier work, only
in the last century. Prior to 1910
there were no dentists in America,
in the present sense of the term.
Only few itinerant charlatans
cruelty extracted teeth or attempted
repairs, and few medical practi-
toners endeavored to equip edent-
ulous patients with artificial teeth
For the general population there
simply was no good dentistry avail
able.
Still, believe we commonly err
in assuming that the people back in
the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth,
eighteenth centuries had poor teeth
and lost their teeth early in life,
from carries or dental decay, because
they neither brushed their teeth nor
sought early treatment for cavities
Perhaps that was true of the people
In the early nineteenth century,
the generations we can recall, that
Is, our parents and grandparents.
They suffered from nutritional de-
f1ciencies which inevitably resulted
from fads that came into use and
presently attained universal accept
ance about the middle of the nine
tenth century - about the time
scientific American dentistry devel-
oped. The fads were, first, the re-
f1nement of wheat flour, and second
the refinement of crude or raw
sugar and molasses The refining
processes robbed their important
foods of most of their natural vita
MINIS and minerals, and brought
about widespread 1iutritional def
cheney among the general popula-
ton, particularly the we'll o-dc
class who could afford the refined
and at first more expensive, floul
and sugar, food materials which
then, as now, furnished more thar
half the calories in the daily diet
This change from natural to de-
naturized food, about the middle Of
the nineteenth century, was largely
responsible, believe, for the ex-
IRENE poor teeth of our parents ane
grandparents.

MODERN MENUS
Nursing Mother Has
Double Responsibility

less apt to have protruding stom-
achs.
Nursing a baby is a normal func-
ton which any normal mother
should be able to take on. OF
course, her physical condition must
be good and her diet wisely planned.
Simple, easily digested foods
(avoiding fried foods, rich gravies
and rich desserts) are must" be-
cause anything that upsets the
mother is apt to affect the milk
supply.
To insure a good flow Of milk,
plenty of food is needed, the diet
must include more starches and
fats than are ordinarily consumed,
must contain plenty of protein
foods, especially milk, eggs and
easiy digested meats, and must in
clude minerals and vitamins in suf-
ficient amounts SO that the moth
er's system is not depleted in fur
nishing them to the baby. Increased
food consumption is definitely more
necessary during nursing than dur
ing expectancy. AS child grows,
ats demands become greater and
the mothers food intake must also
increase.
MILK is MAINSTAY
Milk and more milk is the back
bone of the nursing mothers diet.
She must take it "as is" in bever-
ages like cocoa and milk shakes and
egg nogs, in cream soups and
sauces, and in buildings. 1t gives
the most efficient proteins for
growth and for milk production,
supplies necessary calcium and
phosphorus and some vitamins, too.
However, it must always be kept
In mind that milk is not a good
source of iron, and that this min
eral must be supplied generously
from foods that do not overtax the
digestive mechanism.

Natural food for the new baby
is it's mothers milk. The activity
required by the baby in getting its
food from this source plays an i'm
portant part in shaping the arch of
the jaw and this in turn takes care
of incoming teeth without overlap

Answer-As usual, Ben is wrong.
I advise you to leave the question
of diet to your physicians judgment.
I know of no diet that has any spe-

against cancer.

Tense effort as thought they were
so many factories, hurrying to turn
out their finished products with as
much speed and as little waste as
possible.
All over the country three-year
courses have been introduced. And
now the University Of Chicago is
working out a schedule whereby a
student can get a bachelors degree
in two years. That will make it pos
sible for young men to finish their
general education and get a degree
to show for it before they have to
enter military service.
There is no reason why the
students can't get through in two
years-if they spend all their time
at getting an education.

Clarifying
Yourself
By Alicia Hart

The wartime trend toward sen
sible" fashions must have made
some of the hat men happy. Some
what on the OF, these men have
been trying for some time to
counter one result of the mad
nothings" which some of our most
publicized designers have been
whipping up for the custom trade
and for more publicity.
What troubles the manufacture
ers is this. The "mad-nothing" hat,
getting most attention, as it's meant
to do, gives women the idea that
they can wear any old scrap for
Sny occasion-instead of a hat.
Now, I'll go right along with the
hat men when they say you can
not do that and be well dressed
And I'm happy to report that your
spring hats for work, for serious
occasions, will be more sensible.
But 1 still say I'd rather see a
woman in tailored suit and a DAFT
fly hat than vice versa.

A. Every child desires attention.
If you ignore him when he is good
and fuss over him when he is
naughty, he may be naughty to get
attention. Try watching for oppor-
tunities to praise him, not to pun
sh him. Take time to play with
him when he Is good. Never punish
him when you are angry and never
make threats that you cannot carry
out. Punishments that may be used
are putting him in a room alone
mot In the dark and taking away
some pleasure. Discipline to be eff
fective must be consistent. Do not
punish him for a misdeed that you
ignored previously, unless you in
tend to punish him everfy time he
does it.

BE SENSIBLE ABOUT
WEARING DAFFY HATS

So if you want to make the most
of your looks, do have your utterly
unserious hat, but do choose care
fully the occasion for it. When
nine-to-five hats are more serious,
as now, your headpiece that's made
frankly for no other purpose but to
amuse or up1ift or tickle the be-
holder is going to be all the more
conspicuous.
Therefore, you won't wear it when
you go to dinner with your beau
who finds it shocking. You will
save it to wear among women, or
when you're shopping alone. OF
course. if your beau or your hus-
band happens to like it, then it goes
dining or dancing or to the movies
quite rightly.

tooth never decays, I would here
call attention to the observations
and studies of Weston A. Price, D.
ID. S. Nutrition and Physical De-
generation, published by Hoeber,
Inc, New York;, which show be-
yond reasonable doubt that races
and peoples who never brush their
teeth or use dentifrices of any kind
do have the finest teeth and pre-
serve them the longest, thanks to
natural diet.
One good step toward improve
ment of national health by better
nutrition is a return to the use OF
whole wheat flour such as every
body used in this country prior to
184O AS an alternative for this,
every family should keep IN the
household larder or food stores
supply of plain wheat and use 1t
freely in the daily dietary. On re-

Plan Formed To
Provide Labor
Force to Farmers

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The De-
partment of Agriculture announc-
ed the establishment of machin-
cry to provide farmers with
workers sufficient to meet their
requirements at wage rates that
prevail in the community for
each kind of work, with the pro-
vision that under no conditions
shall the workers be paid less
than 80 cents an hour or its
equivalent on a piece rate basis.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard said the plan will be
administered by the Federal Sc
curity Administration, working
closely with States and County
war boards and the United States
Employment Service. The Depart.
ment has obtained $500,000 from
the Presidents emergency fund

Millions Working
More Than 48 Hours

A few weeks ago eight govern
ment agencies joined declara-
tion that work week of 48
hours is the maximum for eff
cient production. This week
Brigadier General Philip B. Flem-
ing, Federal Works Administra-
tor, revealed that the average
hours of all American workers
are now close to that limit.
The average has reached 46.7
hours a week and is still climb
ing, Fleming said. Millions are
toiling above the efficiency peak
of 48 hours, but at the same time
more than 100000 of the 54,-
100000 employed persons are
still being worked less than 40
hours a week.
Thus, on the one hand, many
employees are overworked, while
millions of others are underem-
ployed, Fleming pointed out. He
indicated that adjustments need
be made at both ends.
