Plenty Of Calcium Foods Necessary To
Build Strong Beautiful Pear|y Teeth
Diet Controls
Condition Of
Your Teeth
By HELEN JAMESON
distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)

Finicky eaters have more beauty
griefs than they can bear. They
may wall about dry skin, hair
that looks dead to the world, fin
ger nails that break, impaired eye
sight or teeth that are constantly
demanding professional attention.
The reason: the diet lacks certain
elmentS that are necessary for well
being. The child who eats every
thing that is placed before him on
the table has better muscles, a
sounder nervous system, more nor
NAL development generally than the
one who limits himself to a few ia
vorite dishes
In booklet distributed by the
American Dental Association, and
approved by the United States Pub
lie Health Service, is an interest
ing chapter entitled What Foods
Do for Teeth" 1t is especially nee
essary that mothers of young chill
dred should have this information.
Dragging the kids to the dentists
office to have carries filled is no
hilarious pastime.
EAT RIGHT FooPs
To build strong, healthy teeth
that can resist and fight decay,
the child must eat the right foods
some to build strong teeth, others
to exercise the teeth and still 9TH
erS, which are course, to help mas
sage the gums and clean the teeth.
For general dental health cal
cium, phosphorus and vitamin D,
which is found in cod liver oil, are
necessary.
Milk is rich in calcium: a quart
a day is the required amount for
growing child. Milk is the great
est known source of this mineral
though it is found in cereals, eggs,
some fruits and vegetables.
Phosphorus is supplied by milk,
eggs, prunes, beans, meats, oatmeal
and whole grain bread. When a
child does not get enough Of this
valuable substance the enamel of
the teeth is often faulty.
Vitamin A is a good friend that
guards against infection, SO the
diet should include spinach and
butter. There's our old friend
spinach bobbing up again. When
child refuses to eat it, it may be
because it is not properly cooked.
1t should not be a soft, watery
mess. The leaves should be whole,
no water present. Spinach should
not be cooked longer than five or
seven minutes to be appetizing.
