Inspite of tooth pastes and
fluorides, gum massages and
dental floss, the teeth of the
American people are getting
worse. Once we needed dentists
to help us keep our teeth now
we find it necessary to have
orthodonista to help us keep
what teeth we salvage in the
proper place. Weston A. Price,
DOS. is a scientist who be
came alarmed enough about the
ieplorable change, not only in
the teeth of modern man, but in
the shape of the dental arch to
strike out in a new direction to
find out why. It was hia idea
it© stop wasting his efforts in
; trying to find the reason our
■ teeth are so poor; rather he
i decided to analyse primitive peo
ple their food, habits, elimate
and anv other objective factors
— to find out why their teeth
are so good Sounds simple does
n’t it?
It was »© simple that appar
ently no one ever though* of it
before. In order to gather the
materia] for his research, Dr
Price travelled many thousands
cf miles to the least vis Med,
most inaceessable places in the
world He describes his trrveli
and his method in detail in a

| NUTRITION
In our daily life
By Lucia F. Wolf*
book; Nutrition and Physical
Degeneration. (A comparison of
primitive and modern diets and
their effects).
It is Dr. Price’s theory, that
, modern diet is the only explana
-1 tion for our dental and skeletal
degeneration. He points out that
3 centuries of “progress” in the
United States have shown mark
ed physical changes for the
worse in Americans, while thous
ands of years of primitive civili
sation have left the inhabitants of
’aviated communities as healthy
as they were in the dim past
of their founding. The results
of Dr. Price’s work teem to
prove his contention that store
food is soon followed by store
teeth.
In the process of his investiga
tion, Dr. Price further concluded
that moral values and intelli
gence are transmitted by in
heritance iin direct rciatior to the
paients’ diet. That is to a«.y that
children of well-nourished par
ents are likely to be intelligent
end decent, while children whose
parents do not eat nutritionally
will tend to be mentally dull and
morally indifferent. He offers as
a proof of this last statement the
fact that the children of the
communities he studied are men
ta’ly alert and have a more
highly developed moral sense
than those in so-called modern
ization. The Loetenschal Valley,
high in the Sw’iss Alps and near
ly impossible to approach in any
v;ay but on foot, is a case in
point. The two thousand or so
inhabitants are virtually una
ware of the “refinements” of
modem civilization because na
ture has locked them out
This miracle place is lacking
in many important adjuncts to
our way of life: there are no
jails, no police, no doctors or den
tists. And why? Because there is
no erime, no sickness and al
most a total lack of dental car
ies. The people are perfect phy
sical specimens, and many of
the elite Swiss Guard, who by
tradition guard the person of
the Pope, and who are always
of the highest physical and mor
al calibre, are chosen from the
Loetenschals.
The diet and the way of life
are simple here. The people
raise their own food and make
their own clothes. The food
staples are cheese, hand-ground
rye bread, and fresh goafs or
cow’s milk. (On analysis these
feeds were found to be much
higher in vitamin content than
their counterparts in eitner
America or the rest of Europe'.
Though the valley has a high
altitude, the people are inex
haustible, in spite of the rari
fied air, and old and young do
heavy work wthout a sign of
premature fatigue. Grachen, an
other town high in the Alps and
equally isolated, can tell almost
the same atocy.
Comparing Town and Country
two other villages, elose to
gether in the Swiss Alps, offer
excellent baais for comparison.
One. Ayer, is geographically dif
ficult to reach; its neighbor, Vis
soie, has a new road and has
been made into a market for
processed foods. Though these
towns are less than an hours
walk apart the difference in the
incidence of dental cavities is
staggering. Vissoie has 10 times
as many decayed teeth as Aye.
It is further noted that the
youths who leave their remote
homes for a time to go to school
or for some other reason, find
themselves suffering from dental
problems the minute they sub
ject themselves to the metropol
itan diet. And the problem is
lerased immediately upon re
turning to the simple diet at
home.
The large Swiss cities such ar
St. Morits show a dietary con
trast. There are probably few
Eurpoean cities with the cosmo
politan advantages of St. Moritz.
If there is a processed food, it
is reasonably certain that it is
available in St. Moritz. For this
advantage the people suffer
Dental caries is 15 times wha*
it is in the villages juat discuss
ed. Logically, the children exam
ined who were found to be rela
tively free of tooth decay prov
ed to be children whose families
resisted the influx of process
ed foods and maintained the
healthful diet of their less pro
gressive days. But it is signifi
cant that this ctiy known as a
health spot, a spa, whose cli
mate and altitude are purported
to be among the best in Europe,
has inhabitants who are only
at healthy as th* diet they M
leet ean make them.

'55 Income Tax
Forms Can Help
With '56 Return
Federal income taxpayers who
sought aid last year from the At
lanta office of the Internal Rev
enue Service should be sure to
dig out their 1955 returns as a
guide in preparing the 1956 forms,
if they had questions or problems
then which will recur this year.
District Director Paul Cobb cau
tioned taxpayers in this area to
day.
“There is little change in the
forms normally used by most
taxpayers except for a few points
of clarification and generally im
proved typography, Mr. Cobb
said. “These minor revisions are
not likely to affect problems
which were common to many tax
payers last year and which we
were happy to help solve.

“Taxpayers referring to last
year’s return, while working with
the 1956 forms and the excellent
new instruction booklet, should
be able to come up with the rigfrit
answers without too much diffi
culty. They can probably do a
better job than they think.
“W here new circumstances
have developed and present new
problems we’re happy to help,
and a telephone call will proba
bly clear up the trouble. It usu
ally isn’t necessary to visit our
offices, although help is of course
available there to those who have
special and complex problems.”
Mr. Cobb urged taxpayers to
keep a copy of each year’s return
with their important papers, and
to keep al! personal papers, can
celled checks, receipts, etc., whieh
relate to income and expenditure,
for at least three years.
Late in 1956 consumer income*
after taxes were running fiva
percent above 1955, Stephen J.
Brannen, economist, Agricultural
Extension Service, says. Income*
of consumer* will rise further in
1957 and further increasea in food
expenditures are expected.
