This may help the sentiment for péace but we doubt it, Every generation worries about its yeung people but few generatioris do atiy- thing about the matter except to crititize the youngsters. Advertising is a profitable undertak- ing if the advertiser knows that hé has something to sell to the people who will read his advertising. The Social Security Act has riot only adopted the “check off system, taking certain percentage from the earner’s wages, but nicks the payer, tod. When a Key Wester is trying to find lace to park his car on Duval street, it cult for Kim to realize that 42 years ago there were only four automobiles in the United States, The writer saw the first automobile operated in Chicago.. Today there are 27 million of them, mostly stand- ing idle alongside the ctirbs oF flyitiy over the highways and street. It is éstimatéd that by 1960 there will be 31 million. No one has guessed what the number will be 42 years from now, btit' the Way they aré selling it is reasonable to believe they will is.di | 0 exposure or decay, the pulp becomes TOOTHACHE HITS CHIEFS Toothache is no respecter of persons, and a few days ago President Roosevelt and Vice-President Garner were both suf- fering from this distressing ailment at the same time, the former losing one tooth and the latter two. A recent bulletin of the Dental] Insti- tute of America warns against neglecting a toothache, which is nature’s signal that even more serious trouble may lie ahead. The bulletin points out that a sound tooth seldom catises pain, but when a sharp dis- turbance occurs it means the exposure of a nerve, usually due to decay. It adds: “The live, soft tissue of a tooth known as pulp. It con blood vessels as well as the soft tissues lin- ing the inside of the tooth. When there is in- decomposition is fected and the process of sets in rapidly.” If neglected, the decay continues in- ‘to the nerve which dies from infection and the germs reach the nerve canal which goes all the way to the end of the root, ‘causing more pain and inflammation, Dead teeth usually become discolored and there is danger of abscess formation’ at the root. Proper cleaning at least twice a day atid regular dental supervision alone can | solve the problem of tooth decay, The fill- ing of cavities before the nerve is affected will keep the teeth alive and healthy. PREVENTING COLDS In spite of all the advances of medical "science, the common cold is as baffling as ever. There is no certain specific medicine known for either preventing or curing colds. About all that can be done is to try ad avoid exposure which is likely to cause a cold, and if a cold is contracted in spite of precautions, go to bed and give nature a chance to throw it off. Keping in mind that colds may be communicated from one person to another, although this danger is perhaps exaggerat- ed, it is well to keep one’s distance front | anyone known to have a cold, Physicians place particular stress on ‘the necessity for maintaining as good gen- ‘feral health as possible so that bodily re- sistance may be kept high. Persons who ‘dre “run down” or who do not get suffi- cient sleep and rest are usually more sus- ceptible to colds than those in better physi- [cal condition. A leading health official concisely sums up the precautions to be taken against colds-as follows: ‘Dress warmly and sensibly, get plenty of rest, avoid un- ‘due exposure, keep away from sneezers, ‘tdke some outdoor exercise, sleep in a ven- tilated room, eat nourishing food.” LABOR MUST oust RACKETEERS We are somewhat interested in the story from New York City, telling how la- bor racketeers threw loaded electric light bulbs against the newly stuccoed walls of a physician’s residence, leaving twelve huge spot of red aniline dye upon the re- decorated house. It seems that an unidentified person telephoned the physician’s wife, demand- ihg that non-union painters be discharged lest “something” happens. The lady ex- plained that all persons employed were re- ceiving the union scale of wages and that all of them needed their jobs. Soon after daylight the next morning, the owners of the house discovered the van- dalism. Of course, no one knows who threw the smear-bulbs but the inference is that the barrage was the work of some group which expected to prefit grem scch terror- ism. We do not like to believe that respon- sible labor leaders would sponsor such van- dalism. At the same time, it is commonly reported that the labor movement in some sections is in the hands of racketeers who } “muscled in.” The Citizer labor movement ur not endorse the sters.
