State Health Department has de-
cided to ask Gov. TaWes to APP
propriate $1,44O,OOO in his supple
mental budget this year.
The move is planned in order
that each hospital in the state may

Proper digestion of food is necessary for better body

not accomplish their duty.
Modern dental research has uncovered many new
helpful techniques for moking teeth less subject
to decay and possible loss. Your dentist judges his
professional by his ability to help you keep
your teeth instead of losing them.
A visit to your dentist is longer something to be
feared. Your dentist has miracle" drugs to
prevent pain and promote healing. He pre-
scribe mineral and vitomin medicines for people
who susceptible to oovtes. His local treat

Should your dentist prescribe any medicotions
