JANUARY 5. 1951lhs ma. DECAY or TEETH nmcaaassn

DURING WORLD WAR

.:...

We never think that war can

. bring any good to an individual or

to a people. yet ngures frcsn scan-

dinavia show that in one reqiect world-War 1.1 was of benefit.

In Dental Journal of Scandin- avia, Dr. E. Alexander reports on the amount of tooth decay before, during and after World war II. and pf how the change in diet af- fected the teeth of the people. Statistical reports show a decrease in decay (caries) of teeth durinil the war and an increase in the autumn of 1947. This increase in tooth decay was not due to lack of calcium (lime) in the food, as there was a plentiful supply of

milk and milk products during the

war.

what prevented tooth decay to a great extent during the war was that there pvas less "lactic acid" on the surface of the teeth. Lactir acid is one important cause of tooth decay. The lack of it was due to a lack of foods rich in easily fermenting carbohydrates (starch-

es). as well as an increase in the power of the body in neutralizlnit acid due to a livelier secretion of

saliva (mouilh digestive Juice). Besides this. the food eaten dur-

ing the war contained more of the

rough foods which cleanse the teeth. As there was plenty of l'me

to build teeth and the surfaces of

lvhe teeth were cleansed by rough

foods. and saliva did a better job

of preparing foods for stomach digestion, there was an actual de- crease in tooth decay during the war. The decrease in the amount of sugar eaten was. however. con- sidered the most important factor

lin decreasing tooth decay. It was

noted also that there was less de- cay in rural communities than in cities.

After the war. the amount of tooth decay increased in propor- tion to the increase in the use of easily fermenting carbohydrates and a decrease in roughage which stimulates the flow of saliva.

There is no question but that sugar is our greatest culprit in causirrz decay of teeth; this has been shown us for years by den- fists and physicians. It is not the sugar eaten but what is left on the teeth after eating that causes decay. By simply rinsing. out the mouth well after caiirrz. damage could be almost completely avoided.

The ave.-race person carry a. toothbrush. Dental re- search vvorkers point out that sugar need remain on the tooth surface only a few minutes before it begins to cause tooth decay by

A brand new gadget named "Omnirsnge." is to be the air pilot's friend of the future. It. is static free and will tell a pilot which way he is heading and how he can arrive at his destination in the shortest time possible. The pilot has two needles to keep ..bis eyes on. one tells him where he is heading. The other needle tells him whether he is to the left. or right of the "Track" to the sta- tion.

We should have liked first of all in the New Year to put aside for a time every last care of our house. work . . . to fill the kettle and lay a thick stick of maple on the coals; to turn the stove drafts to a controlled angle; to put out granddaughters kittens and hang the broom in its comer, then slip into ouriseven-league boots and make res y for a trip. We should but on our ageing fur coat -. that which will always remain among our most treasured possessions, ,no matter what hue or fabric shall CV" supplant it.

And we should tie a scarf about our head so that we would not be so formal a visitor at a door - and we should allow it to fall away. while we chatted . . .But thcore, a question has arisen! should we beg James to Join us on the out- ing? At. that time of day. we think it would be of little avail to ask him. Not that James would not enjoy the trip. He would reiterate W"-11 boyish enthusiasn. "It's not that I wouldn't like to go, Ellen- understand that! It's just that 1 can't spare the time!" And then he would begin to check off the lengthy list of chores that waited: hay to be put down from lofts "in both barns . . straw too, and the stables to clean. And by rights" with a look at the sky "we should clean some of those sties this is such a nice day. If we don't, well. it feels like a change of weather. Oh, perhaps not soon but than Biftln. there were sun dogs last evening-and we can expect a shift after that. There's a grist too, to go to the mill. Ellen - and the cattle to water . . ." And James would continue, until hearing ,we would be somewhat ashamed for even thinking of deserting the place in the insistent state of work which obtained. 0 O

"And if you happen to not- ice it clouding over, I don't think it would be wise to linger too lorlg. rve seen a sky like this bring quite a sudden blustec at this time of year. Yes, I'd make for home!" James would indeed like to come with us to meet everyone. to look upon new scenes . . . Yet without him. we would presently

find ourself at the top of the hill,

slope houses and fields and wood- lands. To see the lonely smoke

curling up darkly from our chim- neys and at the gateway s dog, a black figure against the white of the snow. We should stop to chat a moment with Mr. C. at the house on the hill.

DOROTHY DIX SAYS- Tesl Run

Congeniality During Engagement Sign Marriage Will Be Happy

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Do you think that the way a boy and girl get along before marriage is any indication of the way they would

get along after marriage? . AN ENGAGED COUPLE

ANSWER: Of course it is. It is Just the preview of what their marriage will be like. It is a prophecy or a warning. only few of

0 them are wise enough to understand it. If a girl and boy are congenial. if they have the same tastes and like to do the same things before marriage. they can count on being good pals after marriage. If they are amiable and good-natured and unselfish and if they get along harmoniously before marriage. they will live peaceably together until their golden wedding day.

But if one wants to do one thing and the other wants to do another; if one: wants to so out and the other wants to stay at home: if one likes the iher hates them; and particularly if they fight and squabble and fall out and make up. and are filled with jealousy of each other before marriage. they will live a cat and dog life as hus- band and wife. The chances are they will end their ill-assorted union

by divorce. THEIR TASTES ABE FIXED

" For. you see, by the time people are old enough to get married their characters are fixed. Their tastes and their habits have harden- ed into a permanent pattern and they not only cannot alter them. they do not want to change them. And their dispositions are set. They are lrritabi'e or amiable. Grouchy or good-natured. Bossy or adapt- able. as nature made them. And no husband or wife can make them over according to his or her desires. t
