More Sweet Facts

A recent press bulletin issued by
the Maryland State Department OF
Health warned Of the nutritional
dangers involved in the too great
consumption of sugar and urged that
it be used in reduced amounts. En-
dorsement of this advice for still
another reason has been given by the
Division of Oral Hygiene of the De-
partment. DR.. Richard c. Leonard,
Chief of the Division, states as fol-
lows:
at has long been thought by the
dental profession that the large
amounts of carbohydrates G.e. sugars
and starches) included in the average
diet are factors in the high incidence
of tooth decay. In recent years this
belief has been very definitely demon
strated to be true so far as most per-
sons are concerned. A few people, in
fluence by other factors, may be able

wish without harm to their teeth. But
these are very few and it is unwise
for anyone to assume that he or she
may ignore the relationship between
tooth decay and diet.
Sugars and starches influence a
tendency toward tooth decay because
they are easily converted into acid
by mouth bacteria Excessive amounts
of such foods indicate greater
amount of acid Reduction of such
foods indicates a lesser amount Of
acid. Less acid, along with other fac
tors, means less tooth decay.
Reducing carbohydrate consump-
ton to a point that would eliminate
all, or practically all, acid formation
is impracticable. But substantial re-
duction should materially aid in les
sening tooth decay. An even greater
decrease in decay may be accom-
plished if one will thoroughly brush
the teeth after each meal and will,
with equal thoroughness, rinse out the
mouth with water or a mouth wash
both after meals and after each be-

to be available for research work, so

Some of the recommendations Of
the Associated Women were as fol-
lows:
They favored rural-urban study
groups to bring about better public
relations between them.
They favored efficient schools, ef-
ficiently managed
They recommend more sugar be
made available to the farm woman to
prevent waste of past years.
They favor cooperation with the
Extension Service and all other farm
organizations.
They are looking forward to Civ

My impression was that the whole
organization has a very forward
looking program and that in the years
ahead it can be tremendous force
in helping the farm family TO be on
an equality with others in a highly
competitive society. In so doing,
believe we should guard against any

s'Our Contributions To
The Unfinished Task
by MRS. MARTHA |. GLOTFELTY

This theme was adopted by the As
sociated Women of the Maryland
Farm Bureau for the year ahead 1t
is in keeping with the one adopted
at the National Convention held
December 9th, at San Francisco. 1t
was carried through in our State
meetings last week in Baltimore.
Believing that many people in the
county would be interested in what
took place there, | would like to pass
on some impressions | carried home
with me.
First of all, the Farm Bureau, a
voluntary farm organization, of both
the farmer and his wife has grown
until today it numbers a million and
a half members. Maryland has total
membership of 1929 for the year. As
t has grown in numbers, its leader
ship has also improved until it repre-
sents one Of our most powerful farm
organizations.
1t was reported that our great Ma
tional Convention held in San Fran
cisco opened with a Vesper Service,
showing the great part our religious
convictions play in our daily lives.
Likewise, in Baltimore each session
opened with a devotional program.
As | was particularly interested in
the Womens part of the program,
found our leaders stress again the
fact that the great unfinished task
for women remains what it has al
ways been, that Of a homemaker. AS
the farm homemaker is, in a unique
sense, a business partner in the work
of farming, she is vitality interested
in any program advanced for better
marketing, better roads. more labor
saving devices on the farm and in
legislation affecting the farmer and
his family.
| was impressed by the fact that so
many Of the speakers recognized the
for better public relations between
the farmer and the consuming public.
1t was pointed out that the farmers
problems are not only his own, but
the town and city dWellers as we'll
( for agriculture as our nations most
basic industry, affects everyone, and
all people are interested in food and
/ its costs. Ia gain better understand
ing of the mutual problems Of all
groups of people was one Of the goals
set for the year ahead.
