DRINK vs. DENTISTS
“What causes more evil than alco
hol?” they asked that wise and con
servative physician, Sir William Os
ier. “Decayed teeth,” he answered
without hesitation.
"Rad teeth are an unnecessary evil,
a sin of omission,” writes Mary L.
Read, of the New York School of
Mothercraft. “And most of the dam
age is done in the first six years.
Prevention begins before birth.”
The teeth formed in the jaws of
the unborn child need lime; and this
must come from the daily food of the
mother. Therefore her diet should
include milk, whole wheat, cereals,
eggs, and many fruits and vegetables.
Meat, white flour, barley flour, and
soda crackers are almost without lime.
“A clean tooth never decays.”
Therefore, mothers, be alert! After
the first year, when the child begins
to eat more solid food, brush his
teeth and gums every day with a little
soft brush, which must be sterilized at
least once a week by a ten minutes’
boiling. A dime’s worth of precipi
tated chalk of fine quality is as good
as any expensive powder under a
patent name.
If regular visits to the dentist are
begun at the age of one and continued
every six months, a child has every
chance of sound health—not to men
tion a dazzling white smile.

A NEW DISH
Corn may be used with cheese in
place of macaroni, specialises of the
United States Department of Agri
culture point out, for the preparation
of a delicious and nutritive combina
tion dish. The following recipe has
been worked out by the department
specialists:
1 cup of samp (coarsely ground or
cracked corn).
1 quart of watei>
iy, teaspoons salt.
Boil the samp in the salted water until
tender. Drain and combine witli the fol
lowing sauce:
1 cup skim milk.
1 cup finely cut cheese.
2 tablespoons flour.
1 teaspoon salt, % teaspoon mustard,
paprika, or other seasoning.
FOItM INTO SMOOTH I’ASTK
Mix the seasonings with the drv
flour. Add enough milk to form into
a smooth paste. Add the remainder
of the milk and heat in a stewpan,
stirring constantly until thick. Add
the cheese and stir until it is thor
oughly melted.
Put a layer of the boiled samp in a
baking dish or casserole. Add a layer
of sauce and so on alternately until
the material is all used. Sprinkle
bread crumbs over the top layer of
sauce atid cook in a medium oven un
til the crumbs brown.
I.vc hominy, or hulled corn (to give
it both its Southern and ns North
ern name) may bo used in place of
coarse cracked corn in the prepara
tion of this dish. If this product is
used, it is unnecessary to boat it until
it is plaood in the oven.
