Q. <0 American Dental AMociatloo. * Q, Wha\ foods contain calcium? Does a lack of calcium caurfe teeth to decay rapidly??-Miss J. C. Nutritionists tell us that milk is our best source of calcium. Next in line come the other dair^ products such as cheese, cottage cheese and Ice cream. Other fooa* that have a high content of calcium are carrots, cabbage, celery, cauliflower, eggs, whole grain cereals, oranges, prunes and nuts. The outer or surface enamel of the teeth is formed during the first fourteen of fifteen years of life. Therefore, authorities advise that the diet during the tooth-forming period, that U from birth until adolescence include a sufficient amount of foods containing calcium and phosphorus?plus an adequate amount of vitamins A. C and D. While the exact role that diet plgys in the prevention and control of dental decay is not as yet well understood, authorities agree that both child and adult should keep at a minimum the intake of highly refined carbohydrate foods, such as sugar, candy, jelly, pastry, and other highly sweetened food. It is highly possible that America's high ' sugar bill accounts for many of our national dental ills. - Health authorities may not agree on (he advisability of Infants using gymnasium rings, although they do agree that both children and adults need rational daily exercise. Furthermore, teeth and their supporting tissues need exercise. From about the twelfth month and throughout life, some coarse food should be eaten each day to stimulate the gums and the muscles of mastication.

Chicago, i Ration Board Set Up In Kersha)v A rationing board to serve portions of Lancaster and Kershaw counties has been set up at Kershaw and has already begun functioning. Fourteen school districts In Lau- ( caster county have been assigned to the new board and residents of thpsp districts will hereafter be under its Jurisdiction.

Haile Oold Mine, Flat' Creek; Midway, Charlesboro, White Bluff, Taxahaw and Bethel. Thirteen school districts in Kershaw j county have been assigned to the new | board also which means that it will have twenty-seven districts under Its supervision. J The formation of tho new board will, take some of the strain off the local I board which has been working under the very highest pressure for -the past 4 several months. Clerks of the Kershaw board have been in lyiinca.ster this week removing the files for persons living in the 11 i districts assigned to Kershaw.-?The | Lancaster News.

Care and Rejjair of Shoes Not Rationed By Eloise Johnson Shot? rationing is here?the first wearing apparel tt> come under such Government restriction. Wastefulness Is bad at any time but now It Is Imperative that we get the greatest amount of service out of every pair of shoes through "dally care and early repair." As soon as heels begin to run over, have them straightened. As soon as the slightest rip appears In stitching, have It mended. As soon as the soles become thin have a half sole put on. By alternating shoes and wearing one pair one day and another the next, the life of each pair Is Increased considerably. When shoes are stretched out of shape and perspiration Is absorbed by them they should be allowed to "rest" long enough to dry and go back Into shape through the aid of shoe trees. Dry shoes last longer?dampness and moisture cause shoes to stretch out of shape and the leather la weak when wet. Mud Is especially hard on shoes and stains the leather. Use overshoes to protect the feet and shoes. If shoes become wet from rain, snow or mud. clean with warm (not hot) water, rub castor oil or grease into the leather while still wet. stuff the shoes with soft crumpled paper or place on broad toed shoe trees and place on folded news paper to dry. Too much heat ruins leather, so never let shoes dry near a hot fire, stove, I or radiator. Leather scorches more easily when wet. The way to keep shoes in good condition and to make the leather last and give good service is to keep it soft : and pliant with oil and polish. Leather can be cleaned by washing with soap and water if the washing is followed by greasing or polishing. Us? mild pure soap or saddle soap and as little water as possible. Wipe the soap off With a damp cloth without rinsing with water. Dry thoroughly . and then rub in castor oil or polish ( the leather. Castor oil is the only ^ kind of oil you can put shoe polish over. * ' ^ POISON MUSHROOMS Are High At Any Price Without specialized training, you can't he expected to distinguish between edible mushrooms and certain poisonous types... You must depend upon the skill of the man who picks them. Two bottles of milk that look alike may be vastly different. Because we know you depend upon us, we give you" the greatest possible value?in nutriment and purity. The best milk doesn't come from cows?it comes from Camden Dairies . BROAD STREET ? _ CAMDEN, S.
