These teeth depend to a great |extent upon the prenatal care and diet of the mother. The second or permanent set of teeth depends upon the infant care and diet of the child. Breast Feeding the Baby • A well nourished, healthy, and happy infant should be the product sought by any method of feeding. Breast milk is the best food for the infant. Physicians and dentists agree that under normal conditions breast feeding not only provides the necessaiy building materials for the teeth and bones, but also aids in the development of the baby's jaw, teeth, face, and muscles of throat, and face. The nursing mother should choosa cited. When a baby first discovers his thumb or finger he naturally starts sucking it. The first time, and every time he does it thereafter, the mother should remove his thumb or finger from his mouth and place a toy in his hand to divert his attention. The best way to break this habit is to keep his hands occupied with toy. sick. a physician and dentist should be consulted, and the illness should not be attributed to "Tlething" until all other possible causes sucv as colds, abcess in the ear, and other diseases have been ruled out by the physician.

So with this in mind, Pm including a few suggestions. Cake 'n' ice cream are tope, and a bit of candy to sweeten the tooth dictate the party. The cake can be simple, decorated with a ten-cent pastry tube. If you don't want to take the time to spell out the letters, you can buy these for a nominal sum, and have a professional looking cake right out of your own kitchen. Have the children send out their own invitations, even make them up if they like--this will be grand fun for them. Twirling crepe paper foi decorations and getting the chairs in place will please them no end, for these, though small, will give them a wonderful sense of "doing something."

Let the children play their favorite ones, and if they run out of ideas, try some of these: Take the words, Greeting and Birthday, and give each of the guests paper and pencil. Ask players to fill in as many words as possible between each of the two letters. First words begin with B and end with G. Second words begin with R and end with I. Third words begin with R and end with E, and so forth. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the game, and give prizes to those with longest lists. Have children sit in a circle to play this game called Birthday Gifts. First player starts with letter A, and makes a sentence giving the name of the place he i5 going and the gift he is bringing. For example, he might say, "I am going to Appleton to get him an Anchovy, or to Bermuda to get him a Bon Bon." and so forth down the alphabet. No words should be repeated. Guests can also make a scrapbook together, cutting out magazines and papers to make an autobiography for the guest of honor. Include place of birth, pictures of mother and dad, school, vacation trips, etc. vitamins necessary ^for growth and for good development of bones and teeth are carried into the mother's i milk by a liberal intake of vitaminrich foods iu her diet. A daily diet, including milk, vegetables, fruits, whole cereal, and egg, should go far in supplying breast milk with an ample supply of vitamins. Sunlight on the mother's body will increase in her milk the vitamin D which protects against rickets and aids in building good teeth. The minerals of breast milk may be increased by feeding them in large quantities in the mother's diet. The infant needs minerals for tooth and bone formation; therefore, the more minerals present in the milk, the more adequately will the needs be supplied. The minerals of the mother's milk are 'particularly well used by the infant. ' In many cases it is impossible for the mother to breast feed her infant Therefore, the exact method should be designated by the physician in charge of the baby. Harmfal Habito Thumb or Finger Sucking . . . Thumb sticking or finger sucking may begin soon after birth. If it is not stopped early, it may persist for months or years. It is a natural habit for the baby to acquire, but it is undesirable because it will bring disfigurement to the jaws and irregularity to the teeth. It may become a very bad habit if carried over into childhood. It is more easily prevented than cured. Though it is important to prevent it, or to overcome it if started, parents should not become unduly exbreathing, etc., should be broken. Con suit your family dentist. • Prolonged Nursing... Prolonged nursing nuujr produce malformed jaws and irregular teeth. The first deciduous or baby tooth is the Central Incisor, which appears in the center front part of the mouth, usually in the lower jaw. In many cases two teeth, appear simultaneously. As the child grows, so grow the teeth, and if the child is healthy the deciduous or baby teeth usually appear at the following average ages: Deciduous Central Incisor -- 6 to 8 months. Deciduous Lateral Incisor -- 8 to 10 months. First Deciduous or Baby Molar -- 12 to 16 months. j Deciduous Cuspid -- 16 to 20 /months. Second Deciduous Molar -- 10 to SO months. There is considerable variation' as to the order in which the teeth appear and to their eruption time. The mother need ndt be alarmed if her baby does not follow the average. However, if he has no teeth at the end of the first year his teeth are not developing properly and the family dentist should be consulted. Teething Teething is a normal process. The baby may be irritable or fretful and may not eat well during the time a tooth is actually coming through the gum, but teething alone rarely accounts for illness or fever. If during this period, the baby is feverish or but also accustoms the child to having fingers in his mouth, so that when he is taken to dentist the procedure will not be strange. % -• Food* for the Child The substances ' needed to boild strong, healthy teeth are known as Mineral Salts -- Calcium, Phosphorus and Iron. The deciduous or baby teeth begin to form about the fifth foetal materials. The following foods show where the various e)*M&ea*l are found and will insure sufficient mineral salts: Calcium -- milk, carrots, cabbage, turnip greens, cauliflower, cheese, tgg yolk, celery. Phosphorus -- milk, eggs, peas, oatmeal, salmon, liver, beef, lentils (dry), wheat (entire), beans (dry), spinach, etc. Iron -- carrots, beets, peas, green beans, lettuce, tomatoes, milk, liver, salmon, oatmeal beef, wheat (entire), turnip greens, etc. Vitamin A -- whole milk, cream, butter, egg yolk, cod-liver oil, liver, etc. Vitamin D -- cod-liver oil, eg* yelk* halibut-4iver oil, etc. Vitamin C -- oranges, grapefruit, lemons, raw turnips (pulp or juice), etc. Strong, healthy teeth defends to a great extent on proper foods supplying tooth-building materials. COLLEGE UNNECESSARY . TO BECOME A FLYING f OFFICER IN MARINES Thousands of red-blooded yoang men, who had been eager to serve aa flying officers with the Navy or Marines, but whose enthusiasm could net replace the previously required twa years of college, may now apply for enlistment to start training toward the coveted "Navy Wings of Gold." A revision in the Class V-5 prograi week and begirt to calcify at about the how permits high school graduates seventeenth foetal week. The permanent teeth begin to ferm and calcify during the first few weeks of life. Therefore, the diet of mother and child should be intelligently supervised. The deciduous or baby teeth depend to a great extent upon the prenatal care and diet of the mother. The second or permanent set of teeth depends upon the infant care and diet of the child. During the latter half of the first year the baby should be given dry, hard foods to chew. Exercising in biting and chewing helps to develop strong, healthy teeth and jaws. There is often a tendency to keep a baby too long on an exclusively soft diet. Begin when he is about eight months old to give him some dry, hard toast at the end of a regular meal, but watch him carefully when giving him hard food until he learns how to eat it. Course food should be eaten each day throughout life. All vegetables should be cooked in as little water as possible, and cooked no longer than necessary to be palatable in order that they will retain their vitamin content. In planning the day's meal for the child, the mother should know some of the foods supplying tooth-building between 18 and 27 to begin the courses that may lead to the rank of Ensign in the U. S. Naval Reserve, or Second Lieutenant in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve. Qualified candidates will be sent to one of the new aviation induction centers, located at the Universities of Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina and at St. Mary's College, in California, for three to four months of preliminary "toughening." There will then be three months of primary flight training at a Naval Reserve Aviation Base. Successfully completing these steps in their Navy education, the candidates will be sent to one of the great Naval Air Stations at Pensacola, Fla., or Corpus Christi, Texas, for approximately three months of advanced flight training. Commissions as Ensigns in the U. S. Naval Reserve or Second Lieutenants in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve await the candidates who successfully complete the course and win their "(Navy Wings of Gold." Throughout the entire training period candidates will be paid in accordance with their ratings. Aviation Cadets are paid seventy-five dollars per nrtrnth, subsistence and uniforms.
