By Design Or By Accident?

According to responsible authorities, attempts have been made to hold up pro duction of civilian goods in the belief that a policy of scarcity is an effective morale builder. If this is true, a despicable trick is being played on consumers and the battle against imitation may be made im- measurably more difficult.
 Most observers agree that the im- mense productive capacity of industry TOW stands as the best guarantee against uncontrolled inflation Unless industry turns out things people need in sufficient quantity to offset the billions of new dollars which the war has put into the hands of the public, the natural laws of supply and demand will wreck price cell

A NEW SLANT
Bridgeport Post)

"The difference between the pessi- mist and the optimist," says Dr. L P. Jacks. British edducator, lis that the pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, while the optimist secs the opportunity in every dif- ficulty."
 This is new slant on the funda- mental difference between two types. and one worth pasting in the hat.
 The optimist is not the mollusc among bipeds which he is some- times described as being. Rather he is one who stands ready to capitalize every obstacle, on the theory that trouble is to the spirit of man what a whetstone is to steel.
 To him, stumbling-blocks are stepping-stones, and every dead-end a possible new beginning.

Your Health By Dr. William Brady
LET US KEEP IT CLEAN

I usually enjoy what you write (says a reader) but not when you tell the world brushing the teeth IS a waste of time and money. am quite sure wouldn't have my teeth today if it weren't for constant cleaning from childhoo'. Even if 1t doesn't preserve your teeth, 1t seems to me a clean mouth is worth all the money it takes to brush your teeth both night and morning. And remember the people who have to look at you can tell if your teeth have been cleaned or not, so don't think you are fooling anyone. Bad breath usually goes with dirty teeth .... CMrs. w. N. A0
 As for mouth cleanliness, in most instances that depends to consid- erable degsee on the condition of the teeth, and hundred million Americans have proved, at least to my satisfaction, that the condition of the teeth is NOT determined by brushing. It is becoming more and more apparent that the condition of the teeth is determined chiefly by nutrition.
 brushed my teeth like a good little boy most of my life-largely because of the teaching of the sainted primary school teacher who lived at our house when was a kid in Canadiagua. But twenty years ago or so I grew up and put aside childish things.
 Just to show I'm 8 good sport I'll line up alongside of any group of persons of about my age who have always brushed their teeth re- ligiouSly, and if unprejudiced um- pires find my mouth or teeth "dirtier" or in any way inferior to the mouths and teeth of the others, I'll do ample penance and amend my teaching.
 If anybody asks me, I say it doesn't matter whether you brush your teeth (no harm in 1t if you want to) but what does matter is. first, your nutrition, and seconds regular inspection, cleaning, polish- ing, scaling or whatever treatment the dentist considers necessary. In fact, unless you have your teeth cleaned at intervals by your dentist you simply can't have clean teeths

is the pesSimist the sour and cyni- cal killjoy he is sometimes pictured as being. Rather, he is the quitte-; man deficient in imagination. a.nd lacking courage.
 At all events, Dr. Jacks gives us grand distinction between two well types. It is time to stop thinking of the optimist as a Polly anna, simply glad about everything. He has what it takesl Intestinal fOrtitude.

Neckwear

ONE OF the easiest and most
effective ways TO transform a
simple frock or one that has
already seen service is with the
aid of beaded neckwear. Some
women with an eye TO the
budget have wondered if these
brilliant bits of finery are a
PRACTICAL investment, if they can
be kept clean only by trips to
the cleaner. Most of this neck
wear takes to laundering when
it is carefully done in lukewarm
water and mild suds.
Make sure that the beads. If
colored, are fast colored. If they
are only lightly painted, the hue
may wash off. In most cases,
however, the colors are perma-
nent.
