Famous Beauty shares her secret

mouth-to-nose lines and that tired
look, all seem to disappear for
hours and hours.
Quickly this new beauty liquid
becomes invisible on the skin
it gives you an invisible "face lift"
and then you are ready to apply
your powder base and powder.
Your makeup is smoother-you
look more beautiful-because your
skin is firm, lifted, tight.

ravages of tooth decay.

TdNdSeS OF COoJn decay.
1t might be added that at the
present time it is not considered ad-
visable for families providing their
own water supply-such as from
wells-to add fluorides themselves.
This is because of the difficulty in
maintaining a safe amount.
Some of the most important APP
proaches for combating tooth de-
cay are the individual restriction of
sweets, toothbrushing after meals,
and frequent dental examinations.
The topical application of fluor-
ide solutions to the teeth is an en-
tirely different procedure from the
addition of the salts to the drink
ing water. In the topical applica-
ton, fluorine salts are applied to
the outside of the teeth. This helps
to make the teeth more immune to
decay also. This procedure has the
disadvantage of requiring trained
personnel and consequently is re-
latively limited in its usefulness.

WHAT ABOUT FLUORIDES?

Many cities in the United States
have introduced fluoride salts into
the public water system. The pur-
pose of these salts has been to rem
der the tooth structure of growing
children more resistant to dental
decay.
Much discussion, pro and con, has
accompanied this action ON the part
OF these communities. Several groups
have attacked what they call "the
wholesale medication of public
drinking water" Others have pro-
tested against the expense involved
1t would appear, however, that re-
CARELESS of the obj, ctions raised,
fluoridation of public water supply
is here to stay.
Reports from cities where it has
been tried for the last five v ars
indicate that fluoridation has re-
duccd the rate Of tooth decay about
40 per cent No harmful effects
have been noted either in the teeth
or IN any other parts of the body as
a result of the addition of the fluo-
ride salts to the water. Only a very
small amount is actually added
approximately one part per million.
Naturally, the dental profession
has been one of the leading support
ers of fluoridation. But it has
consistently emphasized that this
approach is only one of several that
should be utilized in combating the

Then in 1851 the japanese Trade

The reactivation of the Japan

The reactivation of the Japan
Society of Seattle marks another
important step in the movement
among leaders of this city to rees-
taiblish commercial and cultural
ties with Japan.
Before the war, Seattle was known
as the gateway to the Orient, a til
tie which was fitting and unchal-
lenged.
After the end of the war, other
cities along the Pacific Coast went
right out to capture the vital trade
with Japan
But Seattle sat back, expecting the
trade from Japan to flow in with
out lifting a finger.
The consequences we're disas-
trous. and in some instances irre-
parable.
However, in 1949 Mayor William
F. Devin led group of business
and civic leaders to Japan TO pro-

But Mr.. Stryker, who was de-

from his New York office: "
"My conference had nothing
whatever to do with Alger Hiss or
Alger Hiss's case. The case was
not mentioned in anyway what

legislation to provide severance

rider which bars further accumu-
lation of annual leave.
while the Thomas rider Is a
grossly unfair law, it will help a
great deal in getting severance
pay legislation enacted by the
next Congress-" Senator Johnson
declares. He points out that the
rider prevents Federal employees
from saving up leave as a possible
cushion against the time they
might lose their jobs. That was
