Successful Card Party The ladies of St. Patrick's church gdve a very pleasant card party at the Manley hall last Monday, which was attended by a large number of people of this vicinity as well as John, Mary and Jack DENTISTRY and PUBLIC HEALTH Approved by American Dental Association and the United States Public Health Service PLATTSMOUTH DENTAL SOCIETY CHAPTER X "How did my photographs turn out?" asked John, as he seated him self in the dental chair. "Your photographs?" asked Dr. Young, "you mean your roentgeno grams?" John looked slightly abashed: "All right, doctor, you win. I've called some of my photographs worse names than that, but I did not expect to hear it from you." "Roentgenograms is the proper name for pictures made by x-rays," laughed the doctor. "X-rays were first discovered by Dr. Roentgen, a professor of physics at Wurzburg, Bavaria, in 1S95. Since then, many wonderful improvements made been made in their production and use. But he was the man who gave hu manity this great gift. I told you last week how the x-rays could penetrate your tissues and leave shadow pic tures on the films." I remember," replied, John, "what kind of shadow pictures did mine turn out to be?" "Let's look at them together," sug gested the dentist, as he selected Mr. Reynolds' x-ray mounts from his files and inserted them in his reading lamp. John looked long and carefully at the fourteen shadowy negatives be fore him. Finally he said, "I guess you will have to act as interpreter, doctor. They are as intelligible to me as some of the labels we see on foreign merchandise. I can't decipher them. Anything wrong?" "Yes. replied Dr. Young, "there is." Holding up the picture show ing two of John's upper molar teeth, he pointed with his instrument to two small dark spots on the teeth. "Do you see those two spots?" he asked. John nodded his head. "Did you ever have any pain in your upper right molars?" "Never," replied John, "I thought my teeth were as solid as rocks." "They look as though they were." said Dr. Young. "But the x-rays show that cavities have started to form in two of them. One of the cavities is quite large. The other is apparently small. They were caused nrimarilv bv food lodging and de composing between the two teeth. I'm not saying that you have not brushed your teeth you probably have but small particles of food become wedged between your teeth and you could not remove these par ticles with your brush. In time, the food decomposed and was probably a factor in causing this decay." "That's strange." said John. "I thought that when teeth decayed they always ached." "Not always," replied Dr. Young. "They usually ache, but sometimes teeth will decay almost to the pulp or nerve before auy.pain is felt. That is the wason why it is advisable to have your teeth x-rayed at least ev ery two years. The x-rays assist in discovering small hidden cavities be fore they become large and before the pulp or nerve becomes infected. You know, even with the best of care, teeth may decay. But if the individu al and the dentist use the proper pre cautions, they can stop the decay be fore it reaches the pulp. In other words, they can keep the teeth alive and healthy. If we had not x-rayed your teeth the other day. neither you nor I would have known that those two teeth were decayed. Several mouths from now, however, you would have run up here with a se vere toothache which would have been too bad. What is worse, I would have had to remove the pulp, or nerve, from the teeth, or possibly ex tract them. A vital tooth is better than a devitalized one." "That's just common sense," re plied John. "We don't want any crippled help around the office, and I'd rather not have any in my mouth." (Continued) from Weeping Water. Pinochle was featured and there was plenty of keen competition for honors. A fino ea.ilt was offered as a prize in a guessing contest, being won by Jo seph Wolpert. Visited in Shenandoah Joseph Wolpert and his sisters, Misses Katie and Maggie, were in Shenandoah, Iowa, last Wednesday, where they were looking after busi ness matters and taking in the sights of the town.

Visits will be made to interesting places in Lincoln and the Club Week will wind up with the annual trip to Omaha by special train. "JJressing- Up" Food. "Altho there is no substitute for 'right down good cooking,' dressing up food puts the coax into it," said Miss Leta Lynch in addressing n group of Nebraska farm women. At tractive dishes, sparkling crystal, clean linen, and the discriminate use of color, give a meal "that extra touch" which does much in making foods tempting and irresistible. Miss Lynch suggested that every home-maker should have (1) a pantry make up box in which the last min ute extras are assembled, such as chocolate stars, nuts, decorative can dies, etc; (2) a scrapbook of colored illustrations of dishes which will help in varying menus, and to mental picture of meals serving them. give a before Weaf Prints for New Season Gaiety. Prints are already the most ex citing news in the new season color scheme . . . floral designs leading in popularity. So use a print for a dress, blouse or scarf this year. Further feminine touches in the new spring styles show up in gaily embroidered boleros, vivid sashes, high - waisted, low - necked evening" dresses w ith be-rufiled sleeves,' veiled effects in sheer fabrics, crisped little veils on hats, the newly popular low neck on daytime frocks, the use of dainty lace trims on everything from kerchiefs to house-coats. 4-H Hybrid Club Organizes. LeRoy Cook of Elmwoou was se lected leader by a group of eight boys in the Murdock vicinity last Thursday evening, when they met at the Frank Buell home and organized a hybrid corn club. The agricultural agent gave each boy a seven pound sample of hybrid corn for his project. The members of the club are Wendell Cook, Stuart Mills, Erwin Schlaphcff, Silas Schlap hoff. Warren Rikli, Neil McCrory and James Mills. Diet Is Cornerstone of Child Health. May Day, for the child, means hanging May baskets and scampering away before he is caught. For the youth it often means dancing around the Maypole anil crowning a fair queen. But for an increasing number of their elders it means Child Health Day. As President Roosevelt said in his proclamation, May 1 is a day for special consideration of ways in which the health of children shall be promoted and safeguarded. Health obviously can be built upon a wll-balanced diet. And it's pretty difficult, though not impos sible, to work out a well-balanced diet for growing children without milk. Milk docs not contain all the es sential food elements, but it provides many of them and very cheaply. Give a child all the milk he wants to drink, providing he does not let it displace other essential foods. F.very child should get a pint a day and if possible a quart, to arm him against a number of diseases trace able to a deficiency of vitamins A, B, and G. Citrus fruits or tomatoes, the leafy green vegetables, and eggs also should be in the diet to supply needed vitamins and minerals and supplement the milk. Grasshoppers Reported Hatching. Herman Kupke of Murdock report ed at the Farm Bureau last Friday that the 'hoppers were hatching on his farm. Two other indirect reports came In the same day. The agent inspected several farms in the vicinity of Weeping Water earlier in the week but did not find any young 'hoppers. However, many eggs were found and from their ap pearance the general hatching season will Etart any time if the weather stays warm. The field inspection showed that the 'hoppers had laid their eggs not generally over the farms as many people think, but rather in definite areas. These areas in general are hard ground such as lanes, old roads, paths, ditch banks, some fence rows and similar places. Altho only a few farms were visited, no eggs could be found in old alfalfa fields. Where eggs were found they were in great numbers, one spade of dirt having two to five egg pods init. (The aver age egg pod is about one and a quar ter inches long and about one-half inch in diameter, containing about four hundred small yellow eggs. Should this expected infestation develop, farmers should keep a close watch about their farms to locate the hatching beds. The little hoppers will stay in these hatching beds about two weeks after they hatch, before they move into other fields. A hundred pounds of poison mash will do more good w hen spread in the hatching beds than a ton will do late in the season. Cold rainy weather throughout the hatching season which should be in the next three w eeks, will help a great deal in controlling the pest. Will Plant Hybrid Corn Plots. Cass county farmers will have an opportunity to see about twelve of the best commercial hybrids that have been devcloT,td in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. A field trial dern onstration plot of these various hy brids will be planted somewhere in the county, in a good field on a high way. If and w hen normal seasons return, Cass county farmers will be very much interested in hybrid corn and will doubtless be glad to see the re sults of these trial plots this fall. Handy Garden Bulletin Available. "Subsistence Farm Gardens," is the title of U. S. Department ol Agriculture bulletin number 17 4 G, copies of which have recently been received at the Farm Bureau office. This bulletin takes up all phases of gardening, including vegetables and fruits. It contains suggestions for cultural practices, disease and insect problems, with formulas for sprays, dusts, etc. It takes up potatoes, to matoes, onions, peas, lettuce,, car rots, beets and many other vegetables such as squashes and pumpkins, melons, sweet corn, and fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, dew berries, grapes, apples, pears, plums and cherries.

Cattlemen and swine producers are not the only class of Nebraska farmers searching around for corn substitutes to use in their rations. Poultrymen likewise are up against a feeding "crisis" and need a cheap er feed than corn in their farm flock rations. Poultrymen at the University of Nebraska college of agriculture this week stated that such substitute has been found. It is sweetened corn gluten feed. This feed has been sub stituted for corn in the formula S-S recommended originally by the col lege. The corn gluten feed can be purchased for about $12 to $15 less per ton than corn. It contains more protein than corn and is equally as valuable as corn. The S-S formula has now been changed to S-SG with the substitu tion of corn gluten meal for corn and the replacement of dried butter milk by soybean oil meal. The latter can be bougnt now tor aoout per hundredweight while dried but termilk i3 costing $S per hundred weight. In many sections of the state, farm the ingredients for fjm s-sn in i-hnios.ile bulk lots and the feed is costing them on a cooper niivp b:isis from S2.30 to $2.40 per hundredweight. The cooperative movement of wholesale feed buying has literally swept the state and is covin or- rvrwl 1 1 r f 1 ' sJ thousands of dol- lnm Details concerning the cooper ative feed purchasing plan as de veloped by extension poultrymen at iho iiop- nf nirriculture are avail able at the Farm Bureau office. 4-H Club Boys Study Woods and Metals. .

Robert Wall, 4-II member and leader, is again leading the poultry club of Eagle. The club was first or ganized in 1928. Since that time many boys and girl3 have enrolled in the poultry club and become out standing members. Two of the former members. Maize Foreman and James Wall, were state champion 4-H club members and re ceived trips to Washington, D. C. The club has also developed many out standing demonstration and judging teams. At the organization meeting last week the leader discussed the feed situation and told the members that it took about twenty-five pounds of feed to produce a pullet to laying age. With feed costing 3.8 cents a pound, this would be a ninety-five cent pullet while the University all purpose formula could be mixed at about 2.4c per pound which would make the pullet's feed cost amount to about sixty cents. ATTEND OMAHA MEETING Sheriff Homer Sylvester and De put j' Sheriff Cass Sylvester were at Omaha Thursday evening where they attended hte dinner party given by the Independent Grocers of Omaha, which was held at the Blackstone hotel. The sheriff and deputy were honor guests an an appreciation of their fine work in the recent capture of the two bad men from New York and the Cass county officers were the center of interest to all of the din ner party.
