ROSSLYN EARP Director, New Mexico Bureau of Public Health WISDOM TEETH The third molars or wisdom teeth, are particularly liable to cause serious illness and even death because of the frequency with which we have trouble in "cutting" them. The complica tions most often arise between the ages of twenty and thirty but may occur at any time after adoles cence even into advanced old age. Men and women suffer equally but in both sexes the trouble is more often in the lower than in the upper jaw. The most common mishap is that only the front half of the wisdom tooth comes through and the gum forms a hood over the back half of the crown. Infection creeps under this hood and dangerous germs thrive in this little cavern. Attempts to remove a wisdom tooth while the gum around it is infected may re sult in a fatal spread of the in fection. Extraction of wisdom teeth is, however, an easy matter if taken in time. Abnormalities in the de development of the third molars can be recognized by X-ray ex amination by the age of eleven years; that is to say several years before they are likely to cause any trouble. The time will prob ably come when careful parents wiy seek a dental X-ray of their children at this age to be sure that all is well and in order to forestall dangerous maldevelop ment. The dental surgeon who recognizes abnormality at the age of eleven will continue to make X-ray observations of the tooth until its growth reaches a stage when preventive surgery can be undertaken with safety and a minimum of inconvenience to the patient. ANTHOCY ANINURIA Kenneth aged six came run ning with John's little pot. John aged two trotted along behind. Both childish faces shone with an excitement that was compounded of pride and fear. Kenneth felt important as the bearer of start ling evidence, John in the accom plishment. Within the pot was liquid which John had just pro duced. It was a rather vivid red. » » • • • Now if mother had been scared, had looked startled, had cried: Oh dear whatever is that? then the children's anxiety would quickly have changed to panic. Fear would have struck deep into the plastic minds and left its scars perhaps for life. But mother showed not even a trace of sur prise. All she said was Beetroots and from the tone of her voice the younsters knew at once that whatever lay behind the mystery it was nothing that they need fear. » • • * • Tfyen mother explained to them that when little boys or girls eat lots of beets sometimes the color from the beets goes into the blood, from the blood into the kidneys and comes out into the urine. If she had been a doctor talking to grownups she might have added that the beetroot dye is named anthocyanin and the passage of grand name of anthocyaninuria. That's something for you. to be proud of, isn't it, John; even though it Is commoner than you supposed? Happy the children who can buffer themselves from the dread of the unknown by the wisdom and tact of a mother who under stands. A fellow who was an inveterate smoker went to the country for a Reaching the small town in the morning, he wanted a smoke, but there was no store open. He approached a boy smok ing a cigarette, saying: "Say, my boy, have you got an other cigarette?" "No, sir," said the boy, "but I've got the makings." "All right," the city chap said. "But I can't roll 'em. Will you fix one for me?" • "Sure," said the boy. "Don't believe I've got a match," said the man as he searched his pockets. The boy handed him a match. "Say," the boy said, "You ain't got anything but the habit, have you?" Whithersoever (me goeth, his name is liable to follow. - - - News of Jonesvillej Mrs. Guraey Wagoner, Editor - Phone 48-W j Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Mayberry had as their dinner guests Sun day Mr. and Mrs. John Mayberry and son, Gayle, Mrs. Odell May berry and Robert Apperson of Winston-Salem.

HEALTH BRINCS CHARM You can't enjoy life unless you are 100% well. Most sickness is just some slight trouble and if you assist nature even to a small degree you will find you will "snap" out of your illness. Perhaps you are overly fatigued, over-worked, or had too much excitement for your jaded nerves. Why not take a good old-fashibned tonic and watch the pep return and feel the red blood tingle through your veins. Try a bot tle today. *» / - ... ■ • ' Let US be YOUR Druggists If ' .
