Dental decay may be a disease, and healthy teeth may protect themselves, without outside aid, by meansof min- eral salts deposited lvitlhin them by the Wood, This idea has been developed byDr. Charles F. Bodecker, professor of den- tistry in Columbia 'University. The decay of a tooth is chiefly the result of its Impaired resistance to acids formed in the mouth, . Dr. Bo - decker contends. FIe advances the theory that conditions conditions within the teeth themselves, rather than any hy- gienic measures, must be the basis of cure. i In support, of his theory, Dr. Bo decker points out, as quoted in a press. bulletin issued by the university, that many persons who give no attention to mouth hygiene have good teeth, while others, whose prophylactic efforts are unremitting, are wholly unable to re- tard the progress of disease. Teeth from which the 'nerves have been removed appear to disintegrate 1 more rapidly, he finds, a condition which would not occur if the cause) were wholly an 'exterior one. He de- clares: Decay •of the teeth Is more preval- ent than the common cold. Most peo- ple do not -consider it a disease, ,yet It is a disease and one which not only interferes with the mastication and.. therefore the digestion of food, but which, ,through local infection ,of the teeth, ala; even cause a .variety of severe general illnesses. For these reasons, health workers 'estimate the ,consequences, of fluffing a meaus to prevent dental caries, second only in importance to that of curing and pre- venting cancer. The disease is thought to be due to an acid which forms on the surface of the teeth, generated by the :fermenta- tion of food debris. The acid dissolves the mineral content of the enamel, and thus decay begins. If we could find a means of neutral- izing this acid before it attacks the enamel, it would be pnssibleto pre- vent decay of the teeth. The new theory of dental decay, which satisfactorily nsniains, for the first time, ser r t r .::ling facts, re- gards the -tare 1 •.ne an integral part of the b i considers that they are oft6,n 1 „v :: sd by health and 111 health. If the individual is in 'a normal healthy ,condition, the acid of .decay 18 steadily neutralized by mineral salts present In the tout's itself, and thus no decay takes pace. These mineral salts are carried in a fluid, the dental lymph, derived from the blood, which 'is known to contain various kinds of such salts. To quote further: One of the functions of these salts is to neutralize acids in the muscles of the body. This is called "buffer power." As the dental lymph is de- rived from the blood, it is quite' within the realm of possibility that this fluid also contains these mineral salts which have a like power of neutraliz- ing acid and thus making the-afid of decay harmless. The teeth would thus be securefrom the deleterious 'action of the acid. If the individual, on the other hand, is in an abnormal condition of: health, the acid- of decay is not completely neutralized; due to an insufficiency of mineral salts in the dental lymph. The acid is thus free to attack the tooth, and decay results. Certain illnesses, particularly acid- osis, cause a reduction of some of the mineral salts in the blood, and this may have a like effect upon the com- position of the dental lymph. If the theory is substantiated, it would indicate that there are few really healthy civilized persons in the world, which seems absurd. But we must remember that health is a matter of degree, in fact, of widely varying degree, between the individual burst -I ing with energy and vitality and the patient lying at death's door.- The con- dition of acidosis is suspected to be much more general than previously supposed; and in its first and often in its intermittent stages it causes but few perceptible symptoms. Simple as this theory appears, and feasible as it seems in its practical application, it is by ne means suf- ficiently substantiated to be practical- ly applied in the prevention of dental caries.. A number of pleases of this problem remain, to be investigated. This may require some years of re- search in the various fields. Dr. Bodesiter does not dogmatically claim to have ' discovered the only cause of decay; he suspects that there may be another factor besides mouth acid. This new theory, however, ex- plains for the first time a number of, previously puzzling observations, and it is therefore considered profitable to direct research into the suggested s ianuela. • Checks Again Checked or plaid skirts with plain jackets will be part 61 the spring mode.

At such a period in the sartorial year it is not possible to insure any- thing nything a vogue. But all signs point to a resort and spring season of plaids. Small plaids In woollen mixtures, large diagonal plaids in silks. Plaids usually bring to mind the multicolor effects common to ging- ham and the bold patterns of coat- ings for sports. The trend now is toward plaids in two colors such as a navy design printed on a red back- ground or a white one on black, Having run the gamut of Morals from diminutive to huge sprawling desighs in silks, It is plausible that the plaid will become a fashionable variation in patterned fabrics.
