"Blundering into Paradise and The
Gospel of We."
Austin, Texas, Jan. 27.—The fact
thai dental decay is likely to occur
in the mouth of the average person,
despite proper home care given the
teeth, does not lessen the importance
of brushing the teeth and massaging
the gums daily, nor does it minimize
the need for a cleaning and
tion of the teeth twice a
family dentist. Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer, says that the
lack of these measures gives added
power to germs that attack the ena-
mel of the teeth and gum tissues.
"If. despite the proper application
and | 0f iUch procedures, decay is sus-
! pected or teeth are injured in any
way, the thoughtful person will seek
the dentist's office promptly for the
necessary corrective work." Dr. Cox
said.
"It is surprising, though, even in
these days of comparatively painless
dentistry, that so many persons neg-
lect to make good their dental de-
fect,-. inevitable or otherwise, because
they foolishly fear the discomfort
they might experience in the den-
ti>:\- chair." said the State Health
Officer. "There are others who hav-
ing lost a tooth or several teeth, make
no effort to obtain replacements. Ap-
parently they believe they can get
along without them. Reduced mas-

in the teeth."
Dr. Cox advised those who are in-
terested in experiencing the best
dental and bodily health possible, to
give daily attention to their mouth
and visit the dentist twice each year,
and promptly seek the dentist's ser-
vices should decay or other suspi-
cious conditions arise between the
periodic visits.
"In short," Dr. Cox declared, "suc-
cessful mouth hygiene means not
only intelligent personal daily ap-
plication of prophylaxis but complete
and timely cooperation with the fam-
ily dentist as well."

To Fight Gas
Black Market
A plan whereby gasoline ration
coupons are mailed to individual mo-
torists from carefully guarded cen-
tral issuing stations is now being es-
tablished by OPA. The plan is ex-
j pected to eliminate thefts of ration
coupons, give OPA a check of is-
i suance, and eliminate a great load
from local boards. To further fight
black markets, about February 1 OPA
will issue a notice urging endorse-
ment of coupons to be inserted in
newly issued gasoline ration books.
