Tooth Brush ls
More Important
Than Powder; Mouth Hygiene
Vital Item In |
Keeping Health |

You MAY FANCY that your
powder pad and lipstick are your
closest beauty friends, but be not
aeceived. Of much greater im.
portance is the toothbrush~ With.
cuti white, highly polished and
even teeth no girl need aspire t~
line up in the beauty ché6rus.

~Mcuth hygiene is important

frem the standpoint of the gen- |,

eral health..Decayed teeth interfere with the mastication of
food which in urn upsets the disgestive motcrs, or brings on a
condition of malnutrition, Infections of the cf the teeth and gum
are carried to other parts of he
body, have been known tc cause
serious heart troubles.

PAIN IS COMING

~We have no patience with the
young lady who hangs around
the shops so as to lug home becoming duds to wear, but waits
until the last minute to visit the
dentis. The longer she waits~ the
more pain will: she suffer; not
only when the old buzzsaw is
werking, but when the bill comes
in. The wise. one seeks the services of the dentist twice a year,
has a careful examination, repairs made. She feels very righteous and she has a right to feel
that way. She is doing her duty
by herself. She may have to cut
dewn on cosmetics for awhile to
keep the_beatity budget balanced,
but what of it?

There is always a_ possibility
of tartar formation; a hard substance forms at the base of the
teeth. causing inflamation and
bleeding, These horrid mouth barnacles cannot be removed with
the brush; only the dentist~s instruments will dislodge them. Unless they are removed the gums
will recede and pcckets will form
to-attract bacteria.
WILL. FIGHT DECAY~ ~"* *
The free use of the toothbrush
after each meal and at kedtime
may net eliminate decay, but it
is.an effective weapon for. fighting -it. Stagnant fcod particles
are pounced upon by germs that
exist in them mouth, an. acid
ferms and this substance causes
cavities to appear in tae enamel
of ~the teeth. If you are in the
habit cf having a candy binge ~in
the middle of the afternoon, use
the brush again.

There is a belief that diet has
~ good deal to do with healthy
teeth: Calcium, it seems, is especjally necesasry for their well being. One get this in milk, carrots, cheese, orange juice, spin' geh, celery and eggs, Vitamin D,
-it- is said, is a good friend to hu~Man fangs, and that is found in
butter, eggs and milk. Some
specialists recommend Vitamin C
as a-good oldstandby to-ward off
mouth ills, and that comes -to us
in orange and jemon juice, lettuce and other vegetables.

~The time has come when no
beauty seeker can afford to be a
finicky eater. She must have a
waried diet, eat at regular hours,
take enough food to supply the

necessary for the. days activities and no- mcre. If she
gorges she~ll add poundage and
will have to turn her thoughts to
a reducing routine which most
heavyweights find almost unbear
able.
