FIRST AID FOR TOOTHACHE
By far, the most common dental
emergency is the toothache. Pain
usually indicates that decay is present
and can be irritating the pulp (a soft
tissue in the center of the tooth con
taining blood vessels and nerve
tissue).
The best first aid? Clean the tooth
as thoroughly as possible with a
toothbrush and rinse the mouth
vigorously with warm water to remove
any food that may be lodged. Use
dental doss to remove particles of food
and place a cotton pellet with oil of
cloves on the tooth to TEMPORARI
LY alleviate the pain.
An abscess-caused toothache is
ofter the most painful and is frequently
accompanied by swelling of the jaw or
face. An abscess is a localized collec
tion of pus in any part of the mouth
formed by tissue disintegration and
surrounded by an inflamed area.
Aspirin (swallowed, NEVER held
r
against the tooth or gum) will help
reduce the pain. Immediate attention
by a dentist is needed to treat the in
fection. Never use prolonged medica
tion with either pain killer or antibiotics
without the supervision of a dentist.
These may temporarily alleviate the
symptoms but will not eliminate the
problem.

SUMMER CENTERPIECE—Peach Berry Terrine could be your
stunning centerpiece for a late summer luncheon or informal dinner
party. It is easy and delicious.
Fun With Food
From The Herald Kitchen
By MILDRED HUSKINS
If there is a late summer party in
the planning stages at your home,
you might be interested in a cou
ple of rather romantic desserts
developed for General Foods by
Chef Kathleen Sanderson who
takes the fresh approach to
elegant desserts.
The California culinary expert
says she believes in “realistic”
cuisine, where the freshest ingre
dients, like summer’s delicious
fruits, dictate the menu. “A fresh
fruit tart is so beautiful and ap
pealing that there’s no need to
load on extra ingredients or gar
nishes,” she says.
The two desserts - a torte and
a terrine - feature a bouquet of
mixed fruit. They are no-bake
desserts and are made especially
simple with the use of high-quality
“foundation” foods, such as
gelatin and instant pudding.
Fruity Cream Cheese Torte is a
combination of mixed fruit or
strawberry gelatin with cream
cheese which results in a brilliant,
magenta-colored centerpiece. Or,
you can create a bright and
lemony-fresh dessert using lemon
flavor gelatin. A quick way to
soften the cream cheese for this
recipe is to pop it unwrapped in
the microwaave for 10 seconds.
Then use an electric mixer to
combine the gelatin and cheese.
What makes this torte super-rich
is the simple-to-make graham
cracker and walnut crust. Top
with fresh fruit and mint leaves.
Peach Berry Terrine is a stun
ning layered dessert in the form
of a loaf. Colorful fresh peach and
strawberry slices shine through
the translucent top layer, shim
mering with highlights of peach
flavor gelatin. The bottom layer is
a creamy blend of the gelatin and
frozen whipped topping. Serve
each slice of the terrine with a
softened
Vi cup light cream or half and
half
2 cups sliced fresh fruit
(strawberries, bananas or melon)
Mint leaves
Combine crumbs, nuts, sugar
and butter. Mix well and press on
bottom of 9-inch springform pan.
Dissolve gelatin in boiling
water. Add cold water. Beat
cream cheese with cream, blen
ding until smooth. Gradually
blend in gelatin and chill until
slightly thickened. Pour into
crumb-lined pan. Chill until firm,
about 3 hours. Remove sides of
pan. Cut torte into wedges and
garnish with fresh fruit and mint
leaves. Makes 8 servings.
5K Run Slated
A five kilometer (3.1 mile) run

mer Festival said, “Many en

Seizure Policy Is Altered
Media attention has recently
focused on a series of seizures of
children’s bank accounts.
According to the Internal
Revenue Service, this is one
childhood trauma that could be
avoided.
The new tax law requires any
dependent age five or older to
have a social security number of
his/her own. A new bank account
for a child should be opened using
the child’s own number. On ex
isting accounts, parents should
notify the bank of the child’s social
security number to eliminate
potential problems.
By law a bank must have a
social security number in order to
set up an account. When parents
set up an account for their child,
many times a parent’s social
security number is used because
the child does not have one. This
can cause problems.
When u taxpayer owes (jack
taxes, the IRS sends several
notices and bills requesting pay
ment. If the taxpayer docs not pay
voluntarily, the IRS is authorized
to levy on any account listed in the
taxpayer’s name and/or social
security number.
A new procedure has been in
titiated by the IRS in response to
public concern, which adds a
safeguard for innocent parties to
collection actions - whenever a
levy involves a joint account, the
funds are frozen until ownership
can be varified.

Parents are frequently concern
ed that their young children are
“squinting”. The word itself has
two meanings: looking out through
partially closed eyes, as when the
sun is in our faces; and looking
with eyes set obiquely or crossed.
It is this last meaning to which
they most often refer, crossed
eyes (medically known as
strabismus).
In a new baby, focusing ability
is limited - if present at all - and
the eyes tend to swivel around all
over the place. This is why a tiny
baby will sometimes produce the
most disturbing squint. However,
as long as this is a temporary
thing, it is no cause for concern. As
the baby develops, he or she will
gradually learn to move both eyes
in harmony.
On the other hand, if it is consis
tent or persists past the age of six
months or so, an optometric
assessment would be advisable.
The condition itself can be treated
either by the use of special glasses
and exercises or, in some cases, by
surgery to correct the controlling
muscles.
