 PROPHYLAXIS OF PYORRHEA
 Pyorrhea is irritation, inflamma- tion, bleeding, shrinking or reces- sion of gums, pus pockets, loosen- ing and eventual loss of teeth. Only @ few people are aware that this common disease or degeneration in- wolves not merely the gums, but also the tooth sockets, the teeth themselves, and the very bones and muscles of the jaws and the digestive (salivary) glands whose function is so important in car bohydrate metabolism.
 Some dentists apparently do not understand clearly what the much abused terms "oral hygiene" and "prophylaxis" mean. Too many dentists acquiesce in the commerce. al propaganda which gives the American wiseacre the impression that "oral hygiene" is nice re- fined way of saying brush your teeth.
 To many layment and some den- lists I may seem inconsistent when I talk about the prophylaxis-the prevention-of pyorrhea. Do I not scout the popular notion that one can save ones teeth by brushing them with just the right dentifrice and just the right twist of the wrist, just so many times a day?
 I do. And if you will grant that I am not fooling about it I'll add that, with all your fuss about tooth-brushing your teeth are hard ly as clean as hounds tooth and for the very good reason that the hound never brushes his teeth-he just uses 'em as teeth should be used.
 For healths sake, dentists and people, put aside this childish mo- tion soap and water can change diseased or deteriorated mouth, jaw, tooth sockets gums, digestive sali- vary) glands and teeth into a sound state. Once such deterioration, de- generation, decay has begun the very best you can hope for is to retard or check the process. How to retard or check the deteriora- tion, as I see it, will appear pres ently. Right here I want to i'm press upon you the fact that the prophylaXis of pyorrhea comprises much more than periodic inspec- ton, cleaning. removal of tartar or other accumulations, repair of any minute cavities or Assures and per- haps furnishing or polishing by the dentist - though this is the very minimum of dentistry every one needs regardless of the apparent present condition of his mouth. At least as important for the phophy- laxis of pyorrhea is adequate nutri- ton, and I'll endeavor to explain in talks to follow, not just my notions about 1t, but what recognized nu- triton authorities have recently learned about the prevention of tooth decay, gum and tooth socket degeration and the other familiar manifestations of so-called pyor- rhea.

Colored Skating Rink Totally
Destroyed By Fire Sunday
Night, August 18th
Plans Underway For New
Streamlined Skating Rink,
Dance Pavilion, Gymnasium

With the complete destruction by
fire of an undetermined origin, of
the Colored Skating Rink located
on the Pocahontas Road, owned
and operated as a dancing pavil-
lion by Willie J. Miller, on Sunday
night around II o'clock, went the
only place that Negro youth could
gather foe few hours of whole
some fun and entertainment.
The flames were discovered at
Ills and an urgent appeal to the
Jackson Fire Department brought
Engine Company from the Forti-
fication Street station to the scene.
Capt. Tommy Cleveland of the
pumper crew, said that the flames
had spread all over the rim byk
the time the truck reached the
burning structure.
Using one member of the COM
pany on the umper and another to
handle traffic, Captain Cleveland
was given efficient service by by
standers drawn to the spot by the
reflection of the flames.
umping water from a nearby
ditch firemen were successful in
preventing the spread Of the flames
to adjoining property, however,
part of the roof of garage apart
ment belonging to Mr.. and Mrs.
Willie Stevens, was damaged.
Because the Skating Rink was
the only place in and near Jack
son where a large number of Ne
groes could dance, the destruction
of the Rink was keenly felt by
many, especially the young Utter
bugs and bobby seekers.
However, according to Willie J.
Miller, owner of the Skating Rink,
these young people and dance low
ers need not despair because al
ready plans are underway for
larger, modern, sreamIined build
ing that will not only house a
dancing pavilion and skating rink,
but a gymnasium as well. As be-
fore the building will have for its
main purpose the providing of
clean, wholesome recreation for
Negro youths of Jackson and Kinds
county.
Because of the fire the LUCKY

DIR. Underwood
Lists Rest, Sleep
For Hypertension

"Hpertension killes about two
times as many people as does its
nearest contender, cancer" said Dr.
Felix J. Underwood, executive Of
ficer. Mississippi State Board of
Health, pointing out that hyper
tension is also wholly or partly. to
blame for thousands Of deaths from
heart, blood vessel and kidney di-
seases.
THE problem of hypertension, -
the physician explained, sis COM
plicated by the fact that SO many
different things may cause the tiny
muscles of the blood vessels to be-
come tightened. In addition to ply
sical causes, business worries, per-
sonal troubles, anxiety, fear or
emotional strain can affect the
blood pressure definitely and i'm
mediately"
Stating that in many cases in
creased blood pressure is not dan
gedous, the health officer said that
the condition may not indicate q
disease but may only call for g
change of living habits and mental
attitudes, and conformity to re.
gime prescribed by physician.
There is no reason for any one
to become frightened if he learn:
he has high blood pressure" sale
DR.. Underwood "The patient ha:
in his own hands several effective
means of dealing with it and hi.
physisian has additional methods
Avoiding excess weight, getting
plenty of rest and sleep, and cul
tivating the ability to throw of

Boil Weevil
Damage Increases
In Most OF State

Weather during the past week
was very favorable for continued
boil weevil damage over most of
Mississippi, announces the State
Plant Board in its final cotton in
sect report for this season. Rains
occurred in practically all sections
of the state, especially the Delta
where showery weather prevailed
throughout the week.
In the southern half OF the state
cotton was opening generally and
no examinations were made as
practically all squares are now
punctured. Examinations of 1872
farms in IA counties in the north
ern Delta and other northern
counties showed 100 infested with
an average of Al per cent punctur-
ed squares on the infested farms
and "a per cent on all farms.
Two or three applications of CAL
cium arsenate for boil protection
will still pay in many fields of late
cotton, said Clay Lyle, entomolo-
gist of the Board, in stating that
the damage over the state is the
NOSE severe since 1941 and in some
sections where rains started early
is probabl greater than that year.
The first cotton leafworm of the
season was found in the pupa stage
in Harrison county near Gulfport
by Inspector T. F. McGehee on Au-
gust 81. Unconfirmed reports of
leafworms were also received from
Tate and Lee counties during the
week. If worms become numerous
busting with to 10 pounds of cal
cium arsenate per acre in late cot
| ton is advised. In some cases, de-
! foliation by busting with calcium
cyanamid at the rate of 20 to &c
pounds per acre when the plants
are wet with dew may be advis-
able to prevent the leafworms soil
ing the lint and lowering the grade

1925 Age Group
Still Can't
Jump Jobs

Selective Service regulations
governing "job-jumping," which
includes Farm-jumping, remains in
full force for registrants IS thru
25 years of age only, it was an
nounced this week by Colonel L.
w. Long, State Director of Selec-
tive Service in Mississippi, in an
effort to clarity the status of such
men.
Recent publicity relating to the
release of manpower controls by
other government agencies may
have given some registrants an err
roneous impression that it is no
longer necessary for them to Sc
cure favorable determination
from local boards before leaving
employment for which they are
deferred, directive from the Of
flee of Major General Lewis j.
Hershey stated.
"Registrants 18 through Is are
still subject to provisions of Selec-
tive Service regulations which
were established to prevent such
"job-jumping," Colonel Long en-
phasized. IF they leave employ
ment for which they have been
deferred without approval of their
local boards, they will be placed
in class Immediately available
for service. This applies to both
Agriculture, Industry and Health
or Welfare occupations, stated the
Director.
In the case of bona fide mis-
understanding on the part of the
registrant who left his job with
out local board approval, howev-
er, the board members were ad-
ViSed to consider such misunder-
standing, when established by the
registrant, as an unusual circum-
stance" The Board may determine
Cd that it is in the best INTEREST,"
of the war effort for the registrant
to have left his employment for
other work, or CD that there were
adequate reasons involving the re-
gistrant or his immediate family
which justified his leaving.
