This treasure — with a name that is a mouthful, too — ia sodium lauroyl sarcosin ate, a “miracle drug.” Ita action takea place on tooth surfaces and when added to a dentifrice, it per forms equally well whether teeth are brushed in the morning and tvening only or after each meal. These results revealed by a two year research project have re cently been published by Dr. L. S. Fosdick of Northwestern Uni versity. Young adults In Industry and students at three different universities had co-operated to test the effectiveness of the new product. Behind this research is the be lief that decay is caused by acids which attack the surface enamel tteeth. These acids are pro ed rapidly when bacteria act an foods with a high sugar con tent. Carbohydrate foods which contain starch — such as en riched bread, cereals, or potatoes — have not been a dental threat, however, since the action of bac teria on these foods is so slow that saliva can easily neutralize any acids which are formed. Bac teria need direction in attacking tooth enamel — support from substances called enzymes. By slowing down the effectiveness of enzymes with the new “miracle drug,” acids are prevented from attacking enamel. “Digging” beneath the surface, dental scientists continue to em phasize, however, that good nu trition — the real treasure — Is basic to the formation of strong, healthy teeth. A varied diet which includes enriched bread and cer eals, milk, meat, fruits and vege tables is important for everyone, but particularly so for the preg nant woman and the growing child. With a legacy of good nu trition as a starter, care of tooth surfaces assumes its place In maintaining dental health. New No-Button Work Shirt Offers Extra Cleanliness, Easier Care A new type of work ehirt without buttons i* now In the store*, and it brings to housewives a greater freedom from frequent laun dering and mending than they have ever enjoyed, according to a report from leading work clothing manufacturers. These new shirts have snap fasteners instead of buttons, than eliminating a number of ironing and button-replacement problem* and making possibla a longer period of wearing with leu soiling by hands. The fasteners are completely safe in laundering—they will not rust and will go through the wringer without damage. Thanks to this fastener feature on these new shirts, the wearer can open them with a quick tug rather than by individual handling, u is necessary with buttons. This is described as being an added safety factor in instances where clothing is accidentally snagged in working machinery. Work clothing departments and stores in both city and farm areas are now stocking these shirts as s regular item. _ According to the manufacturer, Scovil! Manufacturing Company (Waterbury, Conn.), the Gripper snap fasteners on these shirts are an advance In work clothing design following year* of to«r*tng. The new patented radial rio design of the fastener* pro videe the extra strength necessary to make these shirts possible. 1957 Dodge Lancer Hardtop Five Inches Lower THE 1957 SWEPT-WING DODGE, lower and longer, has the most exclusive styling and engineering improvements in history.

Washington in his historically famous Atlanta Exposition Address delivered in Atlanta, Georgia a little more than 61 years ago, called the attention of the nation to the fact that “There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all.” Our land in that day was faced by group problems^ similar in nature to those that are affecting us today as an outgrowth of the Supreme Court’s Decision of May 17, 1954. It is because of these problems that this the first in a series of messages from the Booker T. Washington Centennial Commission, is being issued. This Commission was brought into existence in April to pay tribute to the one-hundreth anniversary of the birth of Booker T. Washington (April 5, 1956), through a year long program designed to focus the attention of the nation upon the present day value of the sane fundamental teachings of this great American. Since Booker T. Washington was an Apostle of Goodwill and since portions of our land today are being torn asunder by mistrust, fear, and hate among Americans of different racial strains, the Booker T. Washington Centennial Commission humbly invites all Ameri cans to join its “Goodwill Building Crusade.” Ours is a land of many races and creeds. We have different origins, cultures, and backgrounds—but we are Americans all! Ours is a nation of Washington and Jefferson, Lincoln and Lee, and millions of ordinary men and women who toiled and sweated, sacri ficed and died to build their wonderful heritage. It was worth their lives to build it— surely it is worth ours to preserve its hopes and ideals by working together in peace and 8° Bemember France’s Maginot Line—built so strong of steel and stone that Frenchmen felt secure behind it—but France fell. Not so much because of a lack of strength in its great waif but mainly because of the spirit of its people. And remember too, Divine teachings set forth in these words in your Bible—no matter what your race or crced_-“A house divided against itself shall not stand. Hate and mistrust in your community might be wiped out if group representatives meet, discuss, and work together to find answers for the problems that are causing racial sores to fester. Communities that pull together unite our nation. We invite you to help to make yours such a community. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON CENTENNIAL COMMISSION Sidney J. Phillips, President SIDNEY J.
