The lollly-Iurvy condition of the world today could hardly be appre- ciated better than through a con- trast of American and Russian ag- ricultural programs. a Russian court in Tashkent recently put 55 cotton farmers on trial for their lives. They are accused of having 870W! Only 80 per cent. of the amount of cotton which the govern- ment expected them to grow this year. If the court finds out that they limited production on purpose, all will be shot. Contrast that now with the American farm program, which aims at cutting productiqn rather than expanding it.

The loss of the teeth of the first or milk set was so common when wc were yifimssters that like one of the characters in Mark Twain's ‘Tom Sawyer’ than was often a contest in whistling or expector- sting for distance through the space left by the lost teeth

Today your dentist will toll you ‘ that the first teefll are really very

precious and should receive the

some care as the permanent set. "Evidence is at hand that school children develop more rapidly both mentally and physically if their mouths and’ teeth are regularly under the care of the dentist.” One of the interesting ,ictures which your dentist can likflly show you is that of the first set of teeth f about ready to drop out with the

The first or millr set should therefore be given as much care as the permanent set-little cavities filled, and the teeth kept clean by the regular use of the tooth brush.

Some of the serious consequences of not having the cavities of the first set filled are pointed out by the Journal of the American Medi- cal Association. The child loses the use of the teeth, the pulp: of the teeth die and abscess and destruc- tion of the Jaw bone follows. Bwol- len glands often occur, digestion is affected, the child suffers pain and the general health suffers.
