...Public Health Service set to work examining the teeth of 15,000 children in the Middle West. Last year he issued a report of his findings that shocked every dentist in the U. S. left Oakley parents down in the mouth. Said he: "The amount of caries [decay] is less in mottled enamel areas than in normal areas. ..." Although fluorine makes ugly smiles, it preserves teeth "independently of mottled enamel."

Results: 1) all the rats in Group I had large cavities; 2) the rats in Group II "showed a 70% reduction in dental decay"; 3) 13 of the rats in Group II had no cavities.

...made to carry passes certifying their freedom from the disease. But throughout Europe, though Italians feared late rains would cause wheat crop rust and Belgians that late fro.st would damage their potatoes, news turned on word of health rather than richness, movement more than stagnation, growth and not decay. Sunny days attended Queen Wilhelmina's visit to the Liege Exposition in Belgium, where Wuthering Heights packed them in and unemployment dropped 3,000 in a month. In Tallinn, walled capital of Estonia, night clubs were open all night; in Kiev, at the Park of Culture and Rest, huge, heavy...
