...Higher concentrations occurring naturally (up to 8 p.p.m. in Bartlett, Texas) have had no detectable ill effects on the growth or health of children or adults. But because they do no good, and lead to mottling of the teeth, these excess amounts should be artificially reduced. Bartlett and Britton, S. Dak. (6.7 p.p.m.) are cutting their natural levels down to about 1 p.p.m. A 150-lb. man who drinks 1-p.p.m. fluoridated water would have to drink a bathtubful, or 70 to 100 quarts daily, to get the minimum overdose that seems to affect the thyroid gland. The overdoses needed...

Mary Britton Miller's Listen-the Birds, illustrated by Evaline Ness (Pantheon; $3), achieves unpatronizing verse. The poet knows enough about chickadees to know they actually say chicka-dee-dee-dee, but the child who hopes to see live birds like the ones illustrated will be sadly deceived. James and the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl (Knopf; $3.95), has illustrations in good old-fashioned pen and ink, though the subject matter...
