Austin—Progress being made in
the prevention and control of den-
tal diseases through scientific and
proper care daily of the teeth was
described by Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer, in urging
the observance of Children's Den-
tal Health Day, February 6.
Dr. Cox said is was with child-
ren that modern dentistry has had
its greatest success in preventing
tooth decay. He told of the re-
search being done by the Division
of Dental Health with sodium fluo-
ride in preventing tooth decay—■
both by fluoridation of community
water supplies and the application
of sodium fluoride to surfaces of
the teeth by dentists.
A control test showed thut in
one Texas city where the water j
supply was fluoridated, the rate j
of decayed, missing and filled j
teeth among six year old children
dropped 4? per cent in 29 months.
In a nearby city where no fluo- j
ride was added to the water sup-
ply the rate remained at eight
decayed teeth per child.
The Texas State Health Depart-
ment recommends that teetih be

Injuries Prove
Fatal to Doctor
“Fo’nric acid is a successful
treatment for the anemias and
sprue mentioned because it helps' M‘Tl(>n
led blood corpuscles mature prop-
erly. Dr. Shive said. “Corpuscle
immaturity cause* the disorders.”
A white grainy material re-
sembling table salt, Shive's syn-
»r.r thesized vitamin may prove to be
a better cure for the anemias and
sprue than is folic acid, a V-vita-
min “cousin,” which also was
first isolated in 1944 by Univer-
sity researchers directed by Dr.
Roger J. Williams, University of
Texas Biochemical Institute di-
rector.
The anemia-sprue clinical tests
Persons!were ’"“lie by an independent re-
j search group in Birmingham, Ala.,
and reported in the Southern
, Journul of Medicine.
Assis mg Shive in the folinic
acid synthesizing were Drs. T. J.

In Memory Of
J. W. McMahan
On Saturday after noon, Jan-
uary 20. 1951, at 6:90 the death
angle took for its victim a
mg father, J. W. McMahan.
Dad was born March 9, 1884,
in Pike County Ark., to Mr. and
minutes.
Dr. Cox said children's 20 first
teeth should be given the best of
care to permit the children to j
chew properly, to promote facial
development und to preserve the
space for the 32 permanent teeth
which will come in later. Child-j
ren should pay their first visit to
the dentist when all 20 first teeth
ate in and then see him each six!
months thereafter.
National Dental Health Day is j
a splendid time to resolve to do!
your utmost every day to see that i
children follow simple dental j
health rules and are given treat-!
ment as required for the preaerva-!
tion of their teeth.
