WEST McHENRY, :: ILLINOIS Every other school child in Illinois has at least one bad tooth, declared Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, who bases the estimate on surveys recently conducted in this and other states. This condition is a serous reflection upon the ability of parents to choose for themselves and the r children the proper kinds of foods, the directors adds, because faulty diet causes dental decay more fiequent'y than does the lack of a toothbrush. "When children eat from one-third to a half a pound of sugar daily, drink coffee and complete their diet with meat and pbtatoes, the wonder is that teeth are not worse than they really are," Dr. Rawlings asserted." "Hard, durable teeth are made of material rich in calcium, phosphorus and v tamins and the chief source of these ingredients is milk, fcafy vegetables, fruits and cereal's. 'What the prospective 'mother eats determines very largely the character ;>f the primary teeth of her child, 1 h'le the d et of the infant up 16 sifc years of age largely determines the character of his permanent teeth. 'A toothbrush is a good thing when properly used, but it cannot make a hard tooth out of a soft one. Neither an it take the place of diet in giving to a person a durable tooth. Proper diet is. no more expens ve than poor diet. It is a matter of choice and hot cost. A well balanced diet will not only give the right foundation, but it will help prevent a lot of such diseased condit ons as diabetes, cancer and tuberculosis. " "Parents should consult their family physician re'ative to proper diet for making sound, hard teeth and should visit the family dentist twice a year for advice and preventive treatment."

Schreiiier NOW CONFRONTING FARMERS OF STATE OF ILLINOIS Illinois faces the greatest shortage yt clover seed in its history and the farmers' salvation is to grow alfalfa, according to a statement by the Blue Galley creamery institute. The statement is based on government figures, just made public, which show this year's production to be the lowest on record. Production was poor in 1923, the total' in the state dropping from 315,000 bushels in 1922 to 128,000 jiyw» <im • rm.wn H i -1 mifr| ^ Iraahels. This year the production is high and are likely to go lugheR only 110,000 bushels or eighty-six per clover have produced larger crops Mian cent of last year. s:r Fortupateiy* both alfalfa and sweet ,;5 In its statement on the usual' ^dtti^year, alfa.fa being onftr* „ shortage thfe institute says: third Jargar, so farmers of the nation "The crop report jiis^ issued shows are urged to seed with a'falfa. It will '1* that the total productibn of clover he more econom'cal than to practice seed in the United States this year is estimated at 817,000 bushels as compared with 1,100,000 last year and a five year average of 1,610,000 bushels. Last year approximately 24,000,000 pounds of clover seed were imported to make up the deficiency in America, but Europe has a shortage this year also and probabjy will have little clover seed for the United States.
