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 does not attacking the enamel or outer cov-' ering of the teeth.

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.

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 A lot of foolish boys and girls believe that marriage works some sort of miracle on people that changes them rom what they are inic what they want them to be.
