D, calcium and phosphorus are not
used properly by the body either.
OF course, the spade-work toward
dental nutrition must be done by
the mothers eating properly before
her baby Is born. But it is also ex-
ceedingly important that the good
work be kept up in babys own
meals. For sound tooth develop
ment your baby's diet will become
progressively more complex. She is
likely, within her first year, to eat
all the following bodybuilding
foods:
a. Milk
b. Egg or strained meat soup
C. Green and yellow vegetable
d. Orange juice and tomato juice
e. Raw and cooked fruit
f. Cod liver oil or equivalent
G. Whole grain or enriched cerea!
A recent study on two sets of
school children in the same locality
revealed that an adequate diet re-
suited in 1870 decrease in dental
dCSdyy q pun SilCI pIOouSC0
an increase of 1870 in decay. If
mothers were not already impressed
by the Importance of right feeding
in dental nutrition, this test would
surely help convince them.
Because of decay, some children
chew their food poorly, thus putting
an added strain on their digestive
tracts. And the pain from decayed
teeth will frequently cut down the
amount of food child can eat, too.
For proper development of jaws
and teeth, and to encourage chew
ing, semi-solid and solid foods are
essential. Tooth development is one
of the chief reasons why doctors
suggest starting babies ON strained
foods, and is an even stronger argu-
ment for the shift to junior foods.
For in these chopped and sauced
later foods. babies really have little

Red Cross Aide
| Loses Heirloom
| At Hotel Booth

Mrs. William A. Reick, Red Cross
volunteer, lost a diamond brooch
worth several hundred dollars while
manning a Red Cross collection
booth at the Shoreham Hotel Sat-
urday night.
Mrs. Reick would not miss the
brooch, death-bed gift from her
grandmother. SO much If she had
simultaneously collected several
hundred dollars for the Red Cross.
But four hours work at the booth
amid the Saturday night hotel
crowds netted the sum of only 81.
The dollar was not even made up
of dimes from 10 people, Mrs. Reick
added. 1t was given by one person.
Total collections at the booth during
the entire week was only 1922, she
said.
Mrs. Reick hoped the publication
d her story would, first, rouse more
response to Red Cross booths in
banks, hotels and stores, and, Sec
ond, get back her brooch. An inch
long, it has 10 diamonds set in plati-
mum and backed with gold. It's SEN
timental value to her, she said, is
beyond measure.

Rahioning Won't End Yet
But Relief is on the WAY

internationally throughout the
country ever since rationing
started. Improvement of trans
portation will cure this i'll.
Gasoline rationing shouldn't
get any stricter except on the
West Coast where officials see
some tighter times ahead. Such
development will be traceable
to the supply situation under the
stepped-up military concentra-
ton there.
With more manpower and a
decline in militaryerequirements
passenger automobile tires are
headed for more plentiful days.
Those days shouldn't be expect
ed too soon, because it cannot
be overlooked that the tremen-
dous backlog of untitled needs
will tax production facilities for
many months. The end Of the
Pacific phase OF warfare may
have to be awaited before un-
restricted tire buying is per-
mitted. "a" card holders, how
ever should be receiving some
tires before that time.
Relaxation of shoe rationing
likewise is dependent entirely
on the degree of the decline Of
military demand on leather pro-
ducts. Even if this demand is
cut drastically today, civilians
will still have to wait some
months until production catches
up before enjoying ante-bellum
buying privileges. Shoe stocks
have been reduced TO what ra-
tioning officials call "ridicui-
ously" low level.
Coal restrictions also will not
be removed in most areas, it is
believed, until manpower re-
turns TO the mines from the
armed forces and war industries.
In the Northwest where fire
wood is rationed. restrictions
are slated to get worse until
wood-cutters can be put back

WASHINGTON - UD - It's
lovely thought-but ration
books aren't ready for oblivion
yet.
With Germany out Of the war,
the American civilian. whose
rationing experience began with
tires back in January, 1912, can
reasonably expect the situation
10 improve.
Officials are wary OF making
predictions on probable dates for
the end of rationing programs,
but from a variety of govern
ment sources comes indications
that food restrictions will be the
first TO be relaxed with the pos
sible exception of dairy products
and sugar.
Other rationed items hinges
on such factors as the degree in
which military matters are al
tered, release of manpower from
the armed forces and the speed
of reconversion.
OPAs reticence to get down
TO cases on the dates when civil
ians can toss their ration stamps
into the trash stems from the
time months ago-when Price
Administrator Chester Bowles
disqualified himself as a crystal
ball authority. In an article in
national magazine. Admins
traitor Bowles wrote that meat
rationing was here to stay until
Germany fell. In less than a
week, Bowles was forced to
order the removal of point val,
ues on portland consequently
on beef and lamb items.
Gasoline and other civilian
petroleum products are not ex'
pected to be greatly affected
either removed or relaxed-by
the demise of the Nazis-at least
for a few months. However
what should happen very soor
is the disappearance OF "dry
spots" which have developed

Axis powers, the record OF
Mount Clemens High School in
its contribution to victory over
Germany Is a notable one.
It II measured in terms OF
manpower; service rendered in
rationing and salvage phases of
the war effort, and financial in
vestment in war bonds.
The high school honor roll
contains the names Of more than
$50 men and women who are
now serving the nations cause
on land and sea and In the air.
It lists:
Nine MCHS graduates kilI-
in action;
One reported missing after
action against the enemy;
Two prisoners Of war, and
Ten faculty members In
uniform, some on active duty.
Those killed In action are;
Ralph Bennett (first Mount

It Is believed that leftover
military stores, as we'll as re-
serve food stocks in this country,
will take the burden OF relief
feeding of liberated areas off
the civilian market.
Hence the probability that
there will have to be no belt
tightening here and the promise
of early relief.
