PECAN CBUNCH PIE

The pecans rise to the top and as the pie bakes. they make a thin crunchy layer of nuts with a sort of sugary coating. Beneath the nuts, the filling is rather like that soft mixture in some butter tarts. The superbly flavored pie is rich. but doesn't actually seem too sweet as you eat it. It cuts nicely.

There is 3 trick in the t mpera- ture at which your pie should be served-have it neither warm nor cold. but just cool-that is in any. let it stand at room temperature until the warmth has left it. when it will be ready to serve at any time.

The augury for this day may be generally adverse with things re- fusing to move in the desired dir- ection. Not only is the judgment poor. but there are obstructions, stagnation, and the hint of breaks and hurts in business as well as Dersonal matters.

As a member of a community, you naturally have the health of the community, which includes your own health and the health of your family. in mind. A healthy community is bound to he 3 happy community. other things being equal. As a member of the com- mur-'ity you may be asked to vote on some public health project and you may wonder whether the pro- ject ls uorth while. or merely a fad. Two possible propositions have to do with the water supply. One is whether iodine should be added in the water to prevent goiter. It can now be stated. with abundant high authority behind it, that in some districts. particularly in the region of the Great Lakes, iodine should be added. The other health proposition is that of adding fluorides to the water supply. some years ago it was found that the inhabitants of a certain county in a certain state were almost free of decayed teeth. Investigation showed that the water and the soil there contained a certain percentage of fluorides. Previous experience with fluorides where the percentage was much higher had caused mottling of the teeth. Experiments have been carried out in different parts of the Uni- ted States and Canada in which small amounts of fluorine salts (in the proportion of 1 to 1.5 parts per millioni were added to the water systems of town and cities. All reports were favorable to this method of preventing tooth dew- In The Journal of the American Dental Association. Dr. Francis A, Bull. Madison. Wis. states, '-The addition of fluorides to domestic water supplies has now been rec. ommended as a decay-control meisllfe by the U. S. Public Health Service sublect to approval or the state and local health authorities and dental and medical profes- sions. Large scale control tests have been carried on within the -past five years in ii number of cities. Early reports reveal that Children drinking water contain- inz small amounts of artificially- added fluorine salts had substan. tially less tooth decay than did drinking fluorine-ff'9e wat. Dr. Bull states that fluorides will not prevent all tooth decay. as about one-third of decay is dug to other causes. Further. in the COUTIIFY. fluoridation is of no real hell! 131 preventing tooth decay.
