"What Is every body's business is nobody's business until a Red Cross nurse finds out that many Oregon City children go to school without a breakfast, buy a nickel's worth of candy for lunch, and go home at night to a scanty meal prepared by a' "mother too tired too realize that the children are under nourished and underweight," she said. Mrs. E. P. Hands of the library board described the calls for books coming in from bookless homes all over the county, and the need of branch libraries in every village. She was followed by Miss Elizabeth K. Matthews of Oak Grove and Mrs. Parmon and Mrs. Pierce of Milwau kee, who reported their women all wide awake to the spirit of the time, that the good or bad citizens of to morrow are these Clackamas county uoys ana gins oi loaay, wno need a . County Library. Other speakers were Mrs. J. W. JNorris, Mrs. R. W. Kirk, Mrs. D. C. Latourette, Mrs. David Caufield and Miss cis Barclay Pratt. It was urged that Red Cross placards hang in every window as in war time, as it is still war time for the unemployed. Every woman was urged to buy a dollar's worth of Christmas seals as a con tribution to Christmas cheer, and not tell the little children "I've bought some when they come to the door. The county budget meeting of De cember JO came in for considerable attention. Women are discovering tney are citizens and voters, and are . interested in social service. - Mrs. Wiliam Stone led the music with her violin, Mrs. Bennett at the piano.

Christmas Party A Christmas party will be given by L. Diller, Esq., at the court house in this city on the evening of December 25th. ' Dentists Forming Coast Society Plans for the establishment of a Coast Dental Society to include Ore gon, Washington, California, Utah and Idaho are now under way, according to Dr. Clyde Mount, who was recently re-elected president of the Oregon State Dental Society which held its 28th annual session in Portland. The coast society, according t o projected outlines, will constitute an enlargement of the field of activities of the state organizations. Post-graduate and clinical work is undertaken by the society in the interest of the advancement of the profession, en abling them to keep pace with new de velopments and improved methods. The plan proposed for the Coast So ciety is to hold a session once every three years, and it is expected that the first convention will be staged in Portland in 1925. Striking results of denta research, which have resulted in additional dis coveries concerning the cause of de cay of the teeth, were explained to the Oregon dentists at the annual meeting, by Dr. Percy R. Howe, of the Harvard Uuniversity research de partment. More than 250 members of the society attended the illustrated lectures which formed a part of the clinical reports of the new dietetical theory of decay. Insufficient nourish ment of the proper type results in the depletion of the vitality of the teeth with amazingly damaging result it was found. It is now possible, the doctor show ed, to entirely decalcify the teeth of guinea-pigs by an alteration in their diet, which may be compared to the difference between natural foods, and what, for lack of a better name can be called 'Termed foods." This ef fect upon the teeth is produced by feeding vitamin-deficient diets. It was pointed out that milk, eggs, green vegetables, . fruits, whole grains, cheese and ' nuts contain the essen tials for development of the teeth and bony structures of the body. Pas turized milk is of little value as a food and vegetables should not be overooked, he said. It is evident to any practioner of dentistry. Dr. Mount points out, that the people of many different national ities have excellent teeth when they live on their natural food products. The Esquimanu is practically free from carise. He does not live on muscle meat alone, but he eats prac tically the whole carcass of the ani mal which forms his food. He gets his calcium from the bones and some of the tissues. He gets his vitamines from many of the glandular organs, but with a change of diet, histeetb decay. Stephanson has written that with the influx of our refined, foods, decayed-teeth is quite prevalent among the Esquimax and Icelanders. The natives upon the Labrador coast, now subsisting on bread and tea in a great measure, have extensive decay, while formerly they were exempt from it. Modern diets are deficient in cal cium and vitamines, both of which are needed for sound teeth, and if desire to practice preventive dentistry we need to begin here. The other many effects indicate the need of similar diet for sound bodily development and for vigor. For the fullest bodily de velopment, every effort should bemade to restore the teeth to their useful ness and to retain them. Officers Elected by Local Eastern Star An election of officers held by the locale chapter of the Eastern Star Tuesday evening, resulted in the pro motion of line officers. Those elected were: Worthy Mason, Arloa B. Hemp staed; Worthy Patron, John Clark; Associate Mason, Oliva Clark; Con ductress, Eva Hutchinson; Assistant LConductress, Edith Roake; Treasurer, Lydia Harris; Secretary, Ellen Eads.

WHY YOUR AUTOMOBILE RUNS BETTER AT NIGHT The engine of an automobile per forms better and has more power at night than in the. daytime. A recent explanation of his technical mystery i3 that n the day time heat expands the air so that it is lighter in wieght than at night. Therfore at night an engine gets more air and consequently produces more powerful impulses. Al so, the water keeps cooler and circu lates more efficiently. ' CHAS.

Health Crusade In -County Is Gaining ' A total of 1277 children in Clacka mas county are enrolled this year in the modern health crusade, and 41 teachers are on the mailing list for this district. Last year there were 160 "crusaders" in the county. There have been increased enroll ments in every county in the -state, but the gain In Clackamas county is unusually large, due to the activities of Miss Hilda Morris, county public health nurse, and to a constantly in creasing interest in health on the part of the teachersand the school author ities. There are in Oregon 25,000 school children enrolled in the health crus ade although school has been in ses sion less than three months. The ob ject of the club is the formation of good health habits by the continuous performance of health chores, ' the spread of knowledge concerning the prevention of disease, participation in athletics, cooperation with teachers, principals, school nurses and janitors in the interests of health and the Im provement of sanitary conditions In school, homes, yards and streets. The "crusade" was started four years ago and now has an enrollment in this country of 6,500,000. The organization Is based on that of King Arthur's knights. There are caps, gowns, shields, banners, high' sounding titles and attractive little honor pins for those who perform their chores faith fully.
