The Brighter. Side

OF ALL the peoples OF the
~ other nations OF the world,
Americans probably know and
understand the Italians best.
This is because the Italians
have lived among us for genera
lions, have been our neighbors
and our friends in large cities
and small towns--Italians OF
foreign birth and millions OF
their descendants Of American
birth, who are apt TO be more
American in one generation
than the offshoots OF any other
alien roots.
Thus few Americans have
been able 10 work up any great
hatred of the mass of the Italian
people in the old country In this
war. They have hated Musso-
lini. whom they first derided as
a clown, with considerable vigor.
and they have hated all he stood
for. but not his people. Ameri-
cans have felt that the Italians
were deluded and misled and
that they never had any heart
in the military buster OF the
Fascist leader and certainly not
in making war against Ameri-
ms.
OTheir lack Of heart in MusSo-
lini's cause is indicated by the
wretched showing of the Italian
troops in the battle lines in
Greece, in North Africa. in
Sicily and elsewhere. Their con-
slant beating is not compatible
with the courage characteristic
Of the race in bygone wars. In
our own armies we have a large
number of soldiers OF pure
Italian ancestry and they are

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q-Will you kindly tell why a
person who has a stroke never
gets back TO normal? Is there
no cure for the rigid feeling in
the arms and legs ID. d.
A-Many persons who have
had a stroke make partial or
nearly complete recovery. III a
nerve cell, however, IL de-
stroyed, it--unlike any other
cell In the body---does not re-
generate and IL such destruction
occurs there will be no improve
ment. The use of massage, hot
baths at a temperature of 95
degrees F., and underwater ex-
ercises in water at that tenn
perature help overcome the
rigidity.-
Q-How contagious is tubercu-
losis? Do you think it safe to
visit an acquaintance in a sani-
tarium continuously?-W. F. w.
A-For an adult the danger
of contagion is minimal. For
practical purposes II can be said
that no one acquires tubercu-
losis after he has passed the
tenth year of life.
.Q-IS there any difference in
the method of manufacturing
smallpox vaccine at the present
time than there was 30 years
ago? Is the method Of admins
tering il the same? What is the
multiple pressure method7 Is
this something new Pm, p. A.
A potent vaccine virus
can be grown on the chick en-
bryO and this Is more convenient

Better Health
BY DIR. Logan Ciendening

CINGIVITIS is an inflamma-
ton of the gums and soft
tissues surrounding the teeth.
To any one who has sore gums,
they seem TO be entirely due TO
local trouble. Yet in nothing is
il so true that a local disease
may be due either to causes
that are strictly local or due 10
some general body disturbance.
The gingival tissue is a most
sensitive indicator Of the gen.
eral condition of the body.
Ii is a fairly true statement
that inflammation, e d s,
soreness and sponginesS of the
gums may be forerunner of
pyorrhea. But il is not 100 per
cent true. and many teeth have
been sacrificed TO the idea that
this form OF prevention is the
best cure, when a general sur
vey OF body conditions would
lead to indications for treat
ment which would stop the
process and hold off the pyor-
rhea indefinitely.
OF LOCAL Causes the most
" frequent is the deposit of
tartar and calcium in the
mouth, and the culprit here is
all too often tobacco. OF course,
the real cause of deposit of cal
cum is in the saliva and the
precipitation, is due TO bacteria
and food particles in the mouth.
The treatment is, no matter
how sore the gums are or how
much they bleed. to tougher
them up with the stlmulator or
a hard bristle tooth brush, get
ting well into the interdental
spaces and the gum margin.
OF the general causes of GIN
givltis. a disturbance Of general
health, such as untreated dia-
betes, is a possibility. Allergy
may cause herpetIc eruptions of
TIE gums, ana soreness. So
may many endocripe disturb
ances. and the use of pituitary
hormones, eStrogens and so
forth has helped many a case.
General nutritional deficiency
Is a potent cause, and careful
attention to good eating habits
a primary necessity. l agree
with DR.. Yeretsky of Grand
Rapids, Mich. that instead of
saying just Eat more vitamins, .
the sufferer threatened with
gingivitis should have a definite
dietary program.
nAILY. one-half pint orange,
~ tomato or grapefruit juice.
Twice day, protein in the
form Of meat, eggs, fish or
cheese. Four or five eggs a
week.
Twice daily. one portion of
one of the following vegetables:
spinach, cabbage. watercress,
