have your favorite tooth powder
or paste and your neighbor has
his-a different one-and you both
put this mixture in your mouth
every morning and probably swal-
low some of it, and yet you prob
ably haven't the faintest idea what
chemicals are in it.
| doubt whether your doctor
knows what ingredients are in his
tooth powder or paste. The basis
of most tooth powders, if you want
to know, is powdered soap. Oh!
they put other things in it, but
good old soap cleans your teeth as
we'll as cleans your skin. And the
basis Of most tooth pastes is glyc-
crime and powdered soap. Some
times tragacanth, which is a kind
of mucilage, perfectly harmless,
naturally. In fact, if you want an
elegant tooth powder, take this
prescription to your druggist.
But as a matter of fact you
could certainly get a cheaper and
equally good preparation by ask
ing for one of the well-known
brands.
Here is the prescription
Calcium carbonate 30 parts
Tricalcium phosphate l6
Sodium bicarbonate 6
Zinc peroxide 10
Sugar 10
Powdered soap, enough
to make 100
and if you want an elegant tooth
paste take him this:

The American Dental Associa-
ton has just published some re-
searches by Drs. Epstein and
fainter, of San Francisco, on the
effectiveness of a series of dental
preparations ordinarily obtainable
in a drug store. The particular
point they wished to determine
was how abrasive they we're. Sew
eral years ago, in fact at the be-
ginning of this century, it was
considered that tooth powders
should have rough, abrasive par
ticles in order to clean the organic
matter from the teeth.
This idea, combined with the
habit then in vogue of brushing
the teeth crosswise, probably did
a good deal Of harm. II was proved
by Miller in 1907, that tooth pow
ders could be too abrasive, and
that exposure of the gum margins
and LIBERALIZATION resulted. Pre-
cipitated chalk containing harsh
impurities wore the dentin away
and cut the teeth rapidly.
The research mentioned above
was conducted on strictly stand
ardized lines. A machine was used
to do the brushing and it treated
all preparations with equal force.
In general the conclusions were
that no commercial dentifrice now
on the market contains too much
abrasive. In general they are all
beneficial and harmless and about
equally so. The important thing
is to brush the teeth up and down
and in a rotary fashion in order
to reduce abrasion.

troops poured into Kharkov today
after a vicious assault which wrest-

Ukraine from the Germans, taking
away from the enemy the greatest
fortified base in Southern Russia.
The Kharkov bastion was more

The capture of Kharkov is the
greatest victory for the Russians
since the triumph at Stalingrad.
The invaders had held the city
since December "a, 1941.
Founded in 1850, the city's re-
capture was a moral as well as
military victory for the Russians.
1t was an outpost of Moscow in
the great struggle with the Tar

NELSON MAY
RESIGN HIS

Friends and Foes Give Him

Is Reported

WASHINGTON, Feb l7,-Donald
M. Nelson, Chairman of the War
Production Board today pondered
suggestions of both friends an d
foes, that he. follow retirement OF
Ferdinand Ebersta DIT, Program
Vice Chairman of the WPB, whom
he has dismissed.
Nelson told friends today he ex-
poets to take, week or two on
vacation and rest and to think
about the possibility of retiring. He
has also given complete freedom
to Charles Wilson and his new Ex-
ecutive Vice Chairman who has
taken over all WPB activities.
Among Nelson's friends, the ma
jority seem to have the opinion
that he should not resign although
some OF them have asked him to
quit because Of i'll health.
If Nelson should resign, however
he would favor his successor to be
Wilson, a self-made man who rose
to head the General Electric.
Opponents Of Nelson are report
ed to have asked the White House
for Nelson's scalp and they said
they favor Bernard Baruch, who
held similar post in the First
World War
