He asked "why should we always listen to the President o the United States?" Chou put the question to a news conference at the end of his visit to Ceylon. During the conference he complained about the refusalcpf the United States to recognize the Peiping regime and permit the "rightful restora tion" of China to the United Na tions. He said the United States could withhpjd recognition of Commu nist China "for 10 or 100 years feit China will not topple." The same theme was reiter ated in a joint communique signed by Chou and Ceylon's Premier Solomon Bandaranaike. Liberian Freighter Foupd; Irk No Danger Key West, Fla.

The material is furnished by the Southern Oregon Dental So ciety in cooperation with the American Dental association in observance of National Children's Dental Health Week. Feb. 3-9). The youngster's first teeth are just as important as his per manent teeth The care given baby teeth can often mean the difference between life-long dental health and a need for artificial den tures in young adulthood. . The tooth buds for the child's first teeth begin to form about the sixth week of prenatal life. Calcification begins about the 16th week, and by birth a large part of the crowns of the teeth is already formed. First Teeth The first teeth start to ap pear when the infant is about seven and one-half months old and they continue to come in until the child is about two. When he is about six years old, the baby teeth begin to be shed normally and the process goes on until he is about 12. The early loss of the first teeth, through decay or any other reason, can have serious effects because it can result in crowding and severe disarrange ment of the second teeth. One' of the chief functions of the first teeth is to maintain space for the eruption of per manent teeth into the right place. When a baby tooth is lost too soon, the adjacent teeth tend to shift and fill the space, caus ing the new teeth to come in out of position. Other Reasons There are other reasons why sound and healthy first teeth are important. They are neces sary for proper mastication of food. They help to make a child speak clearly. And they give graceful form and symmetry to the face. The first permanent teeth to appear are six-year molars which come in when the child is about six years old. They erupt at about the same time that the youngster is losing his front baby teeth. There are four of these six year molars and each is the sixth tooth back from the front center of the mouth. The posi tion of these molars helps to de termine both the position of the other teeth and the shape of the lower part of the face. The loss of the six-year molar is a serious matter and, unfor tunately, it is this tooth that is most frequently lost, mostly be cause of decay and neglect. A RARE APPETITE Aukland, New Zealand (U.R) Three-a n d-a-half-year-old Bruce McDowell got over his hammer ing today. Doctors removed a two and a quarter inch hammer, which Bruce had swallowed, by means of a stomach operation. The Medical Roundup Emoritui Consultant In Medicine, Mavo clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine, Mayo Foundation A Rupture After An Operation or after they grow older. Actual- It is unfortunate that, with all the advances in surgery, there are many ruptures after a b d o m mal opera t ions, and especally those in which the wound is a long one. Al ways, today, a good surgeon, after an ab dominal oper ation, c 1 o ses the wound Dr Alvrr with a series of suturlngs. First, he will close the peritoneum, which lines the abdomuial cavity. Then he will bring to gether one or two "fascias" or tough membranes, several sets of muscles, and finally, the skin. But even with all this care, hernias can form. Often they are, due to the fact, that, after the' operation, the person, who perhaps is a heavy smoker, gets a bad cough. He coughs and coughs until he breaks open the wound. Sometimes he has to be taken back to the operating room to be sewed up agin. Usually it is well to have such a rupture repaired soon. If one waits until the sac is very large, and most of the bowel is out under the skin, it will be very hard, even for the ablest sur geon, to get rid of the hernia. Any chain-smoker or smoker of three packs a day, who is con templating an operation, had better quit his smoking for a few months before the opera tion so that his lungs can get cleaned out. Then, perhaps, he won't cough his head off after the operation. No anesthetist wants to give a general anes thetic to a person who is a heavy smoker. His bronchi (the tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs) are usually chron ically inflamed, and hence like ly to be irritated by any ether that has to be used. Woman Who Talked Back A number of the women who have read my note on impotence in the Reader's Digest have flared up and have written me pretty tartly in regard to my statement that, in many cases, the man's impotence is due to the fact that his wife has allow ed herself to get fat and unat tractive. A woman from Texas who does not tell me if she is stout, . says, "Most women are sick and tired of this argument." She feels that we physicians are the ones at fault, because we haven't been able to tell women why they tend to get over weight after they have children CIST TO Ml In the History of R.CA Victor! 0 o I 1 YEAR WARRANTY On All Parts and Tubes!

MAIN PH. 2-2456 We Carry Our Own Contracts ly, I think we physicians can easily tell them what their trouble is. It is that they get too hungry and eat too much. What we cannot yet tell them is how to avoid getting his ravenous ap petite! My correspondent goes on to ask, "Just how many men keep from getting overweight and un attractive after they have been married some years? They get pot-bellied, bald-headed, wrin kled, baggy-eyed, slow, and self-satisfied; and they think they are still God's gift to wo men and the world; they think that any woman should love them no matter how stout or unattractive they get!" The lady thinks that much impotence can be traced to the man's ancestors, and I think she is right. Many a man who has inherited from some ancestors a tendency to depression or schizophrenia or a lack of in terest in women is rarely very sexual; he rarely has much sex ual interest or drive. As a young man he may never have cared for women, or he may have been very shy with them. Naturally, he tends to lose what little in terest he has by the time he is 40 or so. Other men who were born with about as much sexual interest in men as in women, soon lose what interest they had in the wife they married not for love, but just to get a home. Knocked Out by Mother As my correspondent goes on to say, some of the men who show little interest in sex had some of that knocked out of them by a sexhating mother. She gave them the idea that sex is dirty and something to be ashamed of, or to be used only on rare occasions for the pro creation of children. These mo thers did not know that sex can be a beautiful caress that can keep two people together, very happy, for 50 years or more. My correspondent is angry be cause she thinks that my men patients have been complaining to me of their wives and their frigidity. But in this she is wrong. In my experience, while a man will often complain bit terly to his wife that she is "no good, and frigid, and without response," when he goes to a physician he rarely says any thing about his sex life; he does not then criticize his wife. My correspondent says, "Let's have another column giving the wife some credit for sticking by some of these old fossils and loving them until the end. Some of the women who stick by these old characters until the end need a medal instead of crit icism." I think she is right. I have often marveled at the way in which a woman who, for most of her life has had no reason to love a crabbed, husband, has stayed with him. I have often marveled even more at the signs of deep love shown by a woman toward an alcoholic husband who has caused her endless un happiness. Dr. Alvarez hopes his readers will understand that it would be impossible for him to answer requests for information or to attempt to diagnose by mail.

New laxative discovery un-Iocks bowel blocks without gag, bloat or gripe Constipation is caused by hat doc tors call a "thrifty" colon th t- instead of retaining moisture as it should, does the opposite: robs the colon of so much moisture that its contents become dehydrated, so dry that they block the bowel; so shrunken that they fail to excite or stimulate the urge to purge that propels and expels waste from your body. To regain normal regularity, the dry, shrunken, constipating contents of your colon which now block your bowel must be remoistened. Second, bulk must be brought to your colon to S-T-R-E-T-C-H STIMULATE it to action; to a normal urge to purge. And, of all laxatWes, only Colon a id, the" amazing new laxative discoveiy possesses Colonaid5 great moisturiz ing capacity, plus Colonmd's stretch' stimulating bulk. So effective it re lieves even chronic constipation over night, Colonaid is yet so smooth, so gentle it has proved safe even for women in critical stages of pregnancy. Superior to old style bulk, salt or drug laxatives, Colonaid neither gags, bloats nor gripes; won't interfere with absorption of vitamins and other valu able food nutrients; in clinical tests, did not cause rash or other reactions.
