Dental Health For
Children is Urged

In urging that parents take meas
ureS to insure dental health for their
children prior to or early in the COM
ing school year DIR. Richard c. Leon
ard, Chief of the Division of Oral
Hygiene, Maryland State Department
of Health, submits the following
article on the Importance of proper
attention to dental conditions, issued
by the American Dental Association.
"A careful motorist will always
make certain his car is in tip-top
shape for its road trips. He will have
it thoroughly checked for defects and
have corrections or repairs made to
meet the needs of rigorous travel.
"A responsible parent should be
even more considcratc of the welfare
of a child facing the most difficult
journey down lifc's highway. To sue
coed in life, one needs stamina, a
sound mind in a sound body-good
hcalth-and sympathetic understand
ing.
"Proper care of the mouth is an
important factor in every health pro-
gram. In disease, the mouth can play
an outstanding part, since it is vitality
concerned with other parts of the
body. The commoncst known human
disease of both children and adults
is decay Of the teeth and infection of
the gums.
1--WE pcnalizc our children and our
selves when we neglect the teeth, for
the presence of diseased crooked teeth
may affect every part of the body
seriously, even critically impairing
the health. The mouth and teeth give
form to the face and have an impor-
tant part in facial effect, by which
one is appraised and even identified.
Good breeding, proper rearing and
exemplary character are reflected by
dental conditions. We arc attractive
or not as we smile or laugh.
Start teaching the child the care
of his mouth and teeth at the age of
two. Use intelligent care in selecting
his diet; give him what he should
have, not what he thinks he should
have. Take the child to the dentist
when he is two and a half years old
for an oral prophylactic treatment
Cleaning Of the tccth and com
plctc dental examination, including a
thorough N-ray examination.
Take the child to the dentist two
times a year from two and half to
eighteen years of age, and oftcncr if
your dentist advises. Prevent the
scourge of dental decay, gum inflam-
nation and crooked teeth
Or. Leonard considers the foregoing
excellent advice. To follow it now. he
believes, may save child possible
pain and i'll health in the future.

Home Gardens Held
Best Food Assurance
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
If you're thinking about using a
little less time and energy on a
Victory garden this year. the Bureau
OF Agricultural Economics suggests
that you reconsider
Prospective Government require
ments of canned vegetables for war
purposes, difficulties of transporta-
ton and shortages of labor at can
neries suggest the wisdom of home
gardens as the surest means of hav-
ing the kind of vegetables at the
time they are wanted, the bureau
said today.
Despite recent action of the Gov
ernment in taking frozen vegetables
and most canned vegetables off the
rationing list temporarily, the bu-
reau says the civilian supply of
processed vegetables during the
season ahead may be from 5 to 10
per cent smaller than during the
season now drawing to a close.
Many reports received by the War
Food Administration indicate there
is a tagging interest this year in
home gardens. The VIA insists
that more gardens, rather than
fewer, are needed this year to assure
ample food supplies during the
coming season.
1t has ordered Gamers to set
aside 40 per cent of this years out
put for the military services and
other war programs.
