| Sugar Is Called
| Major Cause of
| Decoying Teeth
Nv the Asseeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, Feb. ia University
of Illinois Dental School professor
has declared that the teeth of
Americans are decaying six times
faster than they can be filled and
that eating of sugar is the major
cause.
DR.. Robert G. Kesel. professor of
therapeutics at Illinois and presi-
dent OF the Illinois State Dental
Society, made the assertion in
paper prepared for the 83d mid
winter meeting of the Chicago Den
tai Society.
He said that Q out Of 10 chill
dren in the United States have den
tai decay.
"In our opinion, sugar has a
double action in the production OF
decay" DR.. Kesel said. "One is its
conversion into acids that can de-
stroy tooth structure, and two, Is
its depressing effect on ammonia
development, which compound has
limiting action on the bacteria
that are associated with acid for
nation"
DR.. Kesel and his associates have
been making clinical studies for
several years of the effect of am
monia in dentifrice and mouth
wash in reducing tooth decay.

| Housewives lust
| Ran Out Of Cash
by fhs As.oei1tsd Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Is R.-
Albert T. Luer, chairman of the board
of the Western Meat Packers Asso-
citation, today gave this explanation
of falling commodity prices:
'The American housewife has run
out of money"
The price drop was the chief SUBJ
ject Of the boards meeting yester-
day and received top billing for the
general session of the associations
annual convention, opening today.
Mr.. Luer told reporters:
"The housewife has upset all the
predictions Of the lobbyist and the
economists. She has used up her
spare change, cashed all her bonds,
pulled all the money out of the mat
tress. And now she finds she can
no longer pay the old prices"
He said meat purchases In the
last month have dropped from 25
to SO per cent throughout the coun-
try"

message prepared by the National
Committee Of 13 Against Supersti-
ton and Fear.
The message, timed to coincide
with National Heart Week, was pre-
pared with the medical advice of
the American Heart Association.
The committee Of 13, which is
dedicated to exposing widely circu-
lated superstitious fallacies, listed
these popular beliefs to be de
bunked::"
/. "Once you have a heart attack,
you are finished" A blood clot clos
ing a small heart vessel may not
be too dangerous. With proper
medical care, many people not only
survive such attacks, but live an
active life for many years.
Pain Not Infallible Sign.
2. "If you have high blood pres
sure, you're sick man." Much can
be done today to relieve the condi-
ton. Often it is only when patients
discover their blood pressure Is
high that they begin to worry them
selves into illness.
8. Pain over the left breast
means heart trouble" True heart
trouble is not often localized there.
Often, the pain is caused by some
relatively harmless and temporary
disturbance.
4. "A heart murmur is always seri-
ous." It's UP to the doctor to make
that decision. Thousands of people
have a condition technically de-
scribed as a heart murmur," with
out serious consequences.
S. "She had fainting spell. 1t
must be her heart" Painting is
caused by redistribution of the
blood in the body which prevents an
adequate supply from reaching the
brain--not a common finding in
heart disease, doctors say.
s. "If you lie on your left side, you

will damage your heart" Some peo-
pie can hear their heart while lying
ins this position.
7. "If you have heart trouble, you
can't work and you can't exercise. "
Each case Is different. It's up to the
doctor to decide what's safe for any
individual.
8. "a young woman With heart
disease should not marry and can't
have children" Moderate heart
damage does not interfere with a
normal marriage relationship or with
child-bearing. -.l.
Diets Under Experiment.
9. IF your ankles swell, there Is
something wrong with your heart "
but not necessarily. There
are many causes of such swelling
Let your doctor be the judge.
TO- Red meat is bad for the
heart" Doctors still are experiment.
ing on the effect of diet on heart
conditions. In general, excess weight
is believed harmful, but proper meals
are necessary to keep the digestive
system in good order. There is no
place for a self-imposed diet in the
care of heart disease.
II. Coffee and tea will hurt your
heart" Sometimes removal of these
beverages from the diet may result
in curbing chest pains, but coffee
and tea need not be discontinued
unless the doctor says SO.
IL. Alcohol is bad for your heart. "
Moderate use of alcohol, like bev-
erages, may frequently be permitted
by the physician and sometimes
even recommended for its beneficial
effect in certain cases.
13. Tobacco is bad for the heart" "
Smoking, especially when it becomes
excessive, may affect the heart rate
and the blood vessels to point
where doctors may advise its cur
tailment. If so. the doctor is the
one to make the decision.

Secretary Proposed
For Reserves on Par
With Service Chiefs
By John A, Giles

"A Committee on Civilian Com
ponents of the armed forces had
before 1t today suggestion that 1t
recommend the appointment of a
secretary of reserves in the National
Defense ablishment.
The witnesses told the group yes
terday such an officer should be
named. Brig. Gen. E. A. Evans, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Reserve
Oficers' Association, first advocated
appointment Of an assistant to Sec
retary of Defense Forrestal, whose.
sole duty would be to look after re-
serve matters. He said that would
eliminate inequalities among Re-
serve units.
Later, Col. S. Perry Brown, chair
man of the American sLegion's Ma
tional Security Commission, said
that perhaps secretary on a level
with the Secretaries of Army, Navy
and Air Forces, who do not have
cabinet status, should be named.
Single Army Reserve Urged.
The group, appointed by Mr.. For
restal, also received definite pro-
posal for formation Of a single
national reserve for the Army by
merging the Officers Reserve Corps
and the National Guard This came
from 1t. Col. H. N. Willoughby OF
Richmond, Ind, past president OF
the Indiana department OF the Re-
serve Oficers Association and now
a national councilman of that organ
ization.
Col. Willoughby first presented his
plan last June and convention OF
the ROA at Miami, Fla, turned 1t
down. Gen. Evans did not mention
any such plan in his talk before the
group and Col. Willoughby empha-
sized that he did not appear as an
association salesman.
Emphasizing that the Army's re-
serve should properly be in D-day
status now for any predictable
need" Col Willoughby said legal
complications involved in a merger,
including militia clauses of the Con-
stitution, should be academic in
194S."
The National Guard comes under
the militia clauses and the National
Guard Association publicly attacked
the merger when 1t was advocated
by Maj Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
Army aide to the President. in an
article in the ROA official magazine.
Programs Called Weak.
Gen. Evans characterized the
Army and Air, Force Reserve pro-
grams as lawfully weak" in COM
parison with those Of the Navy and
Marine Corps. He said the Army Is
holding back" its reserve program
until the National Guard is fully
organized.
The committee, late today, is to
hear Comdr. j. p. Bracken OF the
Reserve Oficers OF the Naval ,serv-
ices, Col Melvin j. Mas, Marine
Corps Reserve Officers Association:
1t. Col. James w. Thomson, Civil
Air Patrol; Comdr. G. E. Lofgren,
Fleet Reserve Association, and
Comdr. William Floyd, Regular Vet
Ierans' Association. Assistant Army
Secretary Gordon Gray is chairman
of the group. >s,-@ r>=z+
