 CALCIUM AND HEALTH
 Any one at all interested in the conservation of the teeth and the general health or vite should look for Nutrition and Physical DegeIA- eration, (published by Hoeber. Inc, of Harper e Bros, '40) (by Westor A. Price, M. S., D. D. S.. r. A. o. D. in the public library or elsewhere. Even # one merely studies the pie lures of individuals in different parts of the world, Illustrating the effects of different types of diet, the book teaches Q valuable lesson. Prices actual studies of men, women and children in many parts of the world, civilized and unciy- ili1ed, give his observations and conclusions special weight and sig niflcance. Physicians and dentists may learn something to their ad- vantage and the advantage of their patients from this work.
 The natural food sources Of cal- cium and phosphorus, for the teeth and bones, or, just as important, for the nerves and muscles-physi- clogy teaches that calcium controls neuro-muscular irritability-are:
 1. MIX, skim milk, dried milk,
 buttermilk, cream, cottage
 cheese and every other kind of
 cheese, sour milk, matted milk,
 custards, ice cream and other
 dishes containing milk or Its
 products.
 2. Egg yolks.
 5. Fresh greens or salad vege-
 tables.
 4. Peas and beans, dried or fresh,
 string beans. N
 5. Turnips, carrots, celery, beets,
 6. Oranges or orange jnice, dates.
 2. Whole wheat, wheat bran,
 wheat germ.
 8. Peanuts, walnutS, aim on ds,
 oceans.
 Incidentally, according to vari- ous nutrition authorities who have investigated the question, it is prob- able that shortage of calcium in the average American diet is the most common nutritional deficiency other than vitaInin B deficiency in America.
 Not only for the development of good sound straight teeth but for the general health and vite as well, 1t is essential that an adequate daily ration of sunshine Vitamin D , be provided to assure assimilation and utilization of the calcium in the diet.
 In America virtually the only natural foods that contain any con- siderable amount of vitamin D, are egg yolk and the cream or fat of milk and butter and, where avail able, fresh or canned salmon or oysters.
 So, according to my own convic- tions at least, the mother who makes sure that she and her children and her husband get their daily rationS of calcium and vitarnin D she is not only building good teeth but good health too. Tn fact neglected, miss 1 ing or decayed teeth are inconsist- ent with good health. A tooth is as much a part of the body as finger or an eye is.
