Dangers Of FIuorine
In Our Water Supply
Pointed Out by Doctor

a real effort toi educate the people
to adopt a healthful diet, as con-
scientious dentists are doing al
ready.
6. Fluoridation irgnores the pa
tient-doctor relationship, so much
cherished among us, in which the
patient chooses the medical man in
whom he has confidence, and the
doctor devotes his best skill and
care to treat the patient in ways
and by means best suited to the
patient as an individual"
HUMAN BEINGS DIFFER
Z. Mass medication of whole pop
ulations by means of fiuoridation
does not take into account the fact
that every human being differs
from every other, and what may
not seriously harm one, may kill
another. At best it can only provide
an average" dose, something,
which a physician, knowing the ex-
treme difficulties of dosage calcu-
laIion in the use of medicines affect
ing body metabolism, would never
do.
s. The toxic effects of fluorine in
creaSes as the temperature rises,
a fact which is noted in the pamph-
let of the American Dental Asso-
citation (Fluoridation in the Pre-
vention of Dental Carries, February,
1851 which admits that tempera-
lures ranging from tropical to
temperate may require a halving
of the concentration of fiuorine in
public water. Another fluorine adj
vocate, F. j. Maier, a sanitary en-
gineer of the U. S. Public Health
Service, goes further and says that
not only temperature but also rela-
tive humidity must sbe watched in
regulating fluOrine concentration.
High humidity increases the toxic
effect of fiuorine. But no fluOrina-
tion advocate has yet attempted to
say how much fluorine should be
ingested per degree of temperature
or of humidity, or how it can be reg
ulated to meet the extreme fiuctua-
tions of both temperature and hu-
midity that occur from day to day
and even from hour to hour
throughout much of the year over
a large part of the country. There
is no such thing as an average"
day any more than there is an
average" human being, SO that an
average" dose of fuorine cannot
even be calculated.

Many people saw Sniffles. but
none could catch him. He ate with

weeks later to find Sniffles living

Then Bobby tried it alone. Sniffles

@THE CASE AGAINST
FLUORIDATI0N"
1. Fluroine compounds are pow
erful, corrosive poisons unsafe to
persons handling them. There be-
ing too small margin between
tolerable use and complete disaster
they are therefore too dangerous
to be used in public water supply.
2. 1t is the. conclusion of reputable
psychologists that the total effects
of fiuorine system is harmful. 1t is
known that metallic fiuorine, the
form proposed for 1uoridation of
the water supply, is not available
for nutrition, plays no physiological
role and is not necessary in the diet.
One of the largest U. s. chemical
manufacturers now refuses to sell
f1uoride for water supplies and has
removed it from its price list. A
chemical jobbers' reaction is that
sodium fluoride should not be sold
to any community.
3. Since fluorine plays no useful
part in human metabolism, it is
false to claim, as some advocates
do, that failure to put fluorine into
the drinking water "deprives" chill
dren of something they need.
4. If fluorine has any preventive
effect against tooth decay, and if
anyone wishes to try it, or have
tried it on his child. it should not
be done by wholesale injection into
the entire water supply, but fa) by
appl cation to the teeth by a dentist
skilled in its use and under his
most careful control, or (b) by be-
ing taken in glassful of water
or otherwise upon a doctors pre-
scription written especially for the
individual patient and under his
control and supervision. By such
means the individual can make his
experiment without forcing his
neighbors TO undergo it too, and
he can continue or stop the treat
ment at any time, at his own dis
cretion.
5. If the real object of fluorine
advocates is better teeth for the
people, they can accomplish their
purpose better, without running the
risk of harming anyone, by making

SUGGESTS WAYS TO LESSEN POTATO STORAGE LOSSES

Potato storage losses amount ing to a quarter of a million dol lars year to Alaskan growers may be reduced as a result of findings by Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station scientists.
 Dr. Charles E. Logsdon, plant pathologist at the Station, has worked with potato grading crews of the Matanuska Valley Farmers Cooperating Association to deter mine causes of storage losses. The sample studied revealed an aver age grade-out loss of 24.6 percent. One grower lost over 49 percent of his stored potatoes; another's s culls were only 5.4 percent, Logs don said.
 Major cause of potato storage loss in the sample studied was rot. Most rots come from fungus infections of unhealed or poorly healed cuts and bruises, he ex- plained. About half of all culls were the result of mechanica! damage.
 There are fewer culls when potatoes are handled gently" he stressed. That may mean cover ing digger chain links with rub Der, padding truck beds used in hauling, placing tubers in bins
