W TELEPHONE 117 Benjamin & Sons Expert Workmanship CRANE Quality Materials Dental Cavities Increasa With Added Use of Sugar High consumption of sugar by American children is the major cause of tooth decay which is now occuring six times more rapidly than the dental profession Is able to provide corrective treatment, according to the Journal of the American Dental association. In a symposium of 11 separate articles devoted to dental caries (decay), leading dental scientists advanced new evidence showing that carbohydrates, particularly sugars, are directly responsible for dental caries. Principal hope for overcoming the loss of teeth resulting from man’s excessive appetite for sugar, the scientists agreed, lies in great er use of fluorides which have re sulted in a 40 to 50 per cent re duction in decay in children and the development of other thera peutic agents which will help counteract the harmful effects of sugar in the mouth. Dr. Robert G. Kesel, of Chicago, head of the department of applied materia medica and therapeutics of the college of dentistry, Univer sity of Illinois, summarized evi dence collected by more than 40 research workers in support of the theory that dental caries is initiat ed 1 by acids resulting from the action of bacteria on refined car bohydrate foods in the mouth. Dr. Kesel cited reports from Scandinavia. Italy, Japan and else where which showed a decrease in caries activity in direct propoi- tion to the extent of sugar restric tion during World War II. He re ported dental caries have increased since sugar has become more plentiful.

Have your vision thoroughly examined if the movies give you a headache or any similat discom fort. 2. Insist on sitting at the distance from the screen which permits you to see clearly without conscious ness of your vision. 3.
