tBy Jack Smith)

LONDON, (P)-A highly placed government source said today Bri- tain would cut her armed forces below the strength originally con- templated in Prime Minister Att lees economic crisis program.
 The cuts, whose exact extent has not been determined will not mean any new revision of strate- gic concepts" he added

Crooked Teeth And OrthOdOntia

One of the frequent tragedies of childhood is facial diSfigurement that brings ridicule on the child which may cause untold mental suffering and can have lasting ct- fleets.
 The unpleasing facial contours that bring unhappiness to the child may be caused by the pres ence of crooked teeth. Il is not necessary for children to go through life burdened in this way. A dental science - orthodontia - can remake the face and help the child regain self-cOnfidence
 OrthOdontia is the science of strengthening tee h. However, teeth cannot be moved around in the manner that one moves fence posts. They must be moved slow ly, carefully and scientifically in order to avoid injury to the bone that support them. Orthodontia consists of training teeth to grow into proper position before they are firmly fixed
 This is done through the use of intricate, semiflexible, but sturdy appliances which exert a steady pressure on the teeth for the time necessary for the treatment, some times several years. Diet, heredity glandular action, and many other factors must be considered by the orthodontiSt.
 Improper diet, inherited diffi- culties, mouth breathing, thumb

and finger sucking and tongue and lip biting can result in tooth ir- regularitieS. To avoid them, par ents should constantly be on guard against nervous habits and care fully supervise the child's diet. Neglect and premature loss of the baby teeth and early loss of the first permanent molar teeth ire quently cause malOcclusion. Tn or der to correct the physical causes, the family physician should be consulted.
 Orthodontia has been remark ably successful in restoring faces to normal contours and removing the dangers attendant on mis- placement of the teeth, including pyorrhea, inadequate mastication, and early decay. But the earlier the child is taken to the Orthodon- tiSt, the better is the chance for success.

Facts About Tuberculosis

. Tuberculosis may be called a young woman'S disease For some unknown reason more young WO- men than young men die from it.. After 30, however. tuberculosis kills more men than women.
 The magic eye of medicine, the x-ray, is one sure way of deter mining whether the germ of tu- berculosis is setting up its deadly work within the body. There usu- ally are no outward signs of the disease in its early stages.
 Education. of the people and, through them, of the state, is the first and greatest need in the pre- vention of tuberculosis" said Dr. Edward L. Trudeau who estab- lShed the first Sanatorium for the tuberculous at Saranac Lake in 1885.
 Approximately a quarter of a million persons in the United States have tuberculosis and do not know it. So the spread of the disease continues.
 Tuberculosis has been health problem for hundreds of years HippOcrates wrote of the wasting sickness" in the fifth century, B. C. Before that, as recent evidence shows, the early Egyptians were sufferers from tuberculosis.
 The ultimate eradication of tu- berculosis will depend more upon finding persons with early dis ease than it will depend upon at temptS at controlling the disease by treating active cases.
 The tuberculosis germs die in a few minutes in boiling water and in few hours in sunlight and fresh air.

There is no drug available for the treatment of tuberculosis. We must depend upon the natural forces of the body, lending them whatever aid is possible by pro- viding sufficent physical rest, mental peace and improved nutri- ton.
The Nome nugget., 1947-09-10

An early case of tuberculosis can be cured in few months at the cost of a few hundred dollars. Advanced cases frequently require years of treatment at the cost of thousands of dollars, and then of ten the fight for health is lost. Tu- berculosis can be found early by the chest X-ray.

Early diagnosis of tuberculosis is good economy. To keep an early case in a sanatorium for a few months may cost a few hundred dollars. To keep an advanced case for several years may cost many thousands of dollars.

price paid to farm family MEM
bers when their food products
were sold, win 60 back into vir-
tually every farming section Of
the state to help contribute to the
welfare and business of our rural
areas" Beernick declared.
Patronage savings for 1916
amounted to 40 cents q case for
eggs, cent a pound for poultry,
cents a pound for turkeys, ap-
proximately 1888 a ton for feeds,
and 1867 of the dollar volume
for farm production supplies pur-
chased through the association.
He also explained the WASH
ington Co-Op's current moderni-
cation program being undertaken
both to increase operating eff
cheney and provide better service
to members.
This includes construction Of a
new million dollar feed mill at
Tacoma, building plans for which
have already been virtually COM
pleted. It will be one of the most
modern of the large feed mills
on the coast.
Another important unit is the
half-million dollar Capitalization

plant now under construction at
Mount Vernon to process member
ship poultry and turkey receipts
for northwest Washington. Like
the mill, this will be one of the
most modern plants of its kind
on the coast, and will be COM
pleted by midsummer.
A 100000 addition is also be-
ing built at the Associations Lyn-
den Canning Kitchens in Seattle.
1t will provide for larger output
and permit manufacture of new
items.
Among the resolutions the
members passed was one oppos-
ing governmental subsidies and
support prices on eggs, poultry,
turkeys and all farm products,
and urged that such programs be
discontinued at the earliest pos
sible moment.
Guest speakers at the session
were John II, Davis, executive
secretary of the national council
of farmer cooperatives, and Earl
w. Benjamin, eastern representa-
tive of the Washington Coop.
Mr.. Davis urged more free en-
terprise in agriculture, business
and labor with less governmental
dictation. To accomplish this -rCr
agriculture, farmer producers
must assume the responsibility
of making their operations more
efficient all along the line-in
growing, processing and market
ing-so they can make better ma
tional diet possible at reasonable
costs.

Chinese Nationals Press Reds Into Yellow River

HAWKING, (R -Air-supported government troops in western Shantung province forced units of Red Gen. Liu Po-Cheng's army back against the flood-sWollen Yellow river yesterday while gov ernment forces in eastern Shan tung increased pressure along the TSingtao-Tsinan railway.
 Military observer said govern ment commanders had every op- portunity to inflict a major defeat on the Communists in the west be- cause the Yellow river was now five miles wide and few boats were available. Liu'S army invad- ed western Shantung from neigh boring Hopeh province several weeks ago in an effort to reinforce the Reds Shantung armies.
 In eastern Shantung govern ment assault troops moved in to attack Kiaohsien, 45 miles north west of Tsingtao. Dispatches said other government forces captured Yitu, 90 miles northwest of Kiaoh- sien and were pushing northwest ! to attack Lintzu, l6 miles away.
 The dispatches added that Com munists in the Poshan coal mining region southwest of Yitu were showing signs of retreat.
 A semi-official source in Han king said GeneraliSsimo Chiang Kai-Shek and his personal chief of staff. Gen. Yu Chi-Shih, flew to Yenan today to confer with Gen. Hu Chung-Nan on strength ening government defenses in northwest China.
 It was Chiang's first trip to that part of China since Hu Chung Mans troops captured Yenan, long the Red capital of China, last spring. He was expected to re- turn today.

 If the United Nations had any backbone, it would tread the riot act" to Yugoslavia and Albania The unist-dominated gov ernmentS of these two countries have refused permission for U.

If this world organization which was established to maintain peace can be defied by a couple of dinky Balkan nations, it might just as well fold up and go out of business. Certainly if the U.

 Refusal of three officers of a CIO tobacco union to tell a House committee whether they are Com munists was tantamount to an ad- mission that they are.
