Keeping the
Mouth Healthy
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
© Bell Syndicate.—WNV Service.
npHERE A that the use is no of mouth question washes but
and tooth brushes helps to keep
the mouth clean, the breath
sweet, removes tartar, and re¬
moves little particles of food 1
which may cause cavities in the
teeth.
However, more than mouth washes
and tooth and is
Dr. Barton
usually castor oil or Epsom salts—
in these cases of unhealthy mouth.
In the Journal of Laboratory and
Clinical Medicine, Dr. Mills, Uni¬
versity of Cincinnati, says: “A
close association seems to exist
between the first part of the food
tract—the mouth—and the last part
—the colon or large intestine. Pu¬
trefaction or decaying of food
wastes in the large intestine seems
to result in bad breath, excessive
deposit of tartar, and lowered vi
tality of the gums. It is also thought
that even decay of the teeth may
bg traced to excessive wastes or
constipation in the lower bowel or
intestine.
Remove the Putrefaction.
“Putrefaction in the lower bowel
or intestine is also the cause of
many cases of acne—pimples, and
the removal of such putrefaction oft¬
en brings most rapid and complete
disappearance of severe cases of
acne.
“It is suggested that these mouth
and skin troubles result from the
wastes from this putrefaction in the
large intestine getting absorbed into
the blood, and carried by the blood
to the glands in the mouth and in
the surface of the skin—the saliva
and the sweat glands.”
The use of the bismuth meal in
getting the X-ray picture of the
working of the intestine has helped
some of these cases as this heavy
powder scrapes or scrubs the lining
of the bowel, removing the wastes
and the organisms causing the pu¬
trefaction.
However, Dr. Mills recommends
the use of kaolin—the clay used in
making china or porcelain—as the
most rapid and certain treatment of
putrefaction. A prescription of it
is not expensive. He recommends
kaolin 6 ounces, water 4 ounces, and
a simple syrup 2 ounces. The dose
is half an ounce, 4 teaspoonfuls,
twice a day before meals.
Water Balance and Weight.
I have spoken before of the ama¬
teur oarsman or sculler, who, hav¬
ing won the Diamond Sculls at Hen¬
ley some years previously, decided
to make another try for this coveted
trophy. Accordingly he arranged
with a boxing instructor to “work
out” every day for an hour at box¬
ing and gymnasium work. Despite
the fact that he took off three pounds
every day, he was the same weight
at the end of a month as when he
started.
He stopped his exercise believing
that with his added years it had be¬
come impossible for him to lose any
of his accumulated fat.
What was the matter? Why did
he not lose weight?
His weight was kept up because
of the great amount of water he
drank—one to two gallons every
day. Had he taken a small amount
of water each time he felt thirsty
he would likely have lost almost half
a pound daily.
And sometimes when just the or¬
dinary amount of water, tea, cof¬
fee or other liquids are taken daily
—two to three quarts—there is lit¬
tle or no loss for days and some¬
times weeks. This is due to the fact
that each individual has what is
known as a water balance—the
amount of liquids in various organs
and tissues of the body, that appears
to be the right amount to keep them
in good condition—skin, blood, di¬
gestive, joint, spinal and other
juices.
Thus we find at times an over¬
weight individual faithfully cut
down food for a week or even two
weeks and find the loss of weight
disappointingly small. Discouraged,
no further attempt at reducing is
made, because he or she feels “just
meant to be fat.”
Now, if our sculler and this other
individual who found no loss of
weight after all this work or cut¬
ting down on food, had continued for
another two or three weeks or a
month the reduction in weight would
have been very satisfactory. Once
water balance is established, the
weight may go off at the rate of one
or two pounds per day.
“It has been shown that under
carefully controlled conditions even
a normal individual would maintain
his body weight or even add to it
while he was being underfed.”
necessary to keep
the mouth complete¬
ly healthy in many
cases.
When the tongue
is coated, tartar

the throat red and

thought should be to

★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★
A3 "niTTERLY does Miriam
kins regret the day
year when she told an
viewer that her judgment
screen stories for herself was
infallibly bad. Whenever she
gets balky about working in a
picture selected for her, Sam
Goldwyn reminds her of her
own admission. Then he goes
on to point out that she thought
“Splendor” was a fine story and
that she did not like “These
Three.” The latter was her
greatest success, “Splendor”
brought nothing but complaints
from the customers.
Recently she completed “Woman
Chases Man” and at the preview
the audience roared with delight so
continuously that it was necessary
to take it back to the studio and in¬
sert some scenes to slow up the ac¬
tion so that laughter would not
drown out the good lines.
If you have ever wanted to be a
screen star, if you have ever even
lywood, then “A
Star Is Born” is a
picture you will
adore. It is so in¬
gratiating, it is
hard to imagine
anyone who would
not enjoy it. Janet
Gaynor and Fred
ric March play the
roles of the girl who
goes to Hollywood
and makes good,
the man who helps
her and who loses
as winning hers.
An old, old story certainly, but pre¬
sented in a fresh manner, with gay,
bantering lines, glimpses of studios
and cafes and parties in Hollywood.
Here Janet proves that she is a
mature actress, not just an appeal¬
ing ingenue. There are delightful
comedy scenes where Janet broad¬
ly burlesques Garbo and Crawford
and Hepburn.
Only the three or four ranking
stars in any studio are given little
portable bungalow dressing rooms
parked right at the side of th§, set
where they are working, so Robert
Taylor was rather surprised when
he went out to work in “Broadway
Melody” to find George Murphy and
Buddy Ebsen occupying a most
elaborate one. Seeking out the busi¬
ness manager, he asked if he
couldn’t have a dressing room on
the set since he had so many cos¬
tume changes to make. “What’s
the matter with the one we gave
you?” the business manager de¬
manded angrily, stalking out on the
set. Then he spied Ebsen and
Murphy and bellowed “Those clowns
are at it again,” and promptly
moved them out.
When Lanny Ross abandons the
“Show Boat” program shortly,
Charles Winninger, the original be¬
loved Cap’n Andy is expected to re¬
turn, but Eddie Cantor thinks that
Winninger will be much to busy
making pictures. He says Winnin
ger is a knockout in the new Cantor
picture “Ali Baba Goes to Town.”
James Stewart is so worried for
fear M-G-M will change their minds

most of his time on
his new boat and when the studio
wants him they have to dispatch a
man to the dock who can holler
“Eben” good and loud.
ODDS AND ENDS—Warner Brothers
wouldn’t ask Bette Davis to take a
porting role in “Gentleman After Mid¬
night,” the new Leslie Howard-Olivia de
Haviland picture, hut she surprised them
by asking for it , . . Basil Ralhbone has
a chance to vlay a hero at last in Bobby
Breen’s new picture, "Make a Wish” . . ,
Paul Muni rehearses his lines by speak¬
ing them into a home recording machine,
then listening to them . . . Sidney Black
mer rehearses in a room with five mir¬
rors placed at various angles so that he
can see himself all around . . . Betty
Furness has a charm bracelet from which
dangle a dozen or so fraternity pins. She
claims she picked them up at a pawn¬
shop, but considering her popularity with
college boys all the folks around the
studio are frankly dubious . . . Victor
Moore’s son and daughter are making
their screen debuts in his RKO picture,
“Missus America” . . , John Beal recently
rented the house formerly occupied by
Charles Laughton in Hollywood, but
didn’t get around to explore the cellar
until recently. He thought he might find
mementoes of some of Laughton’s hor¬
ror roles, but confronted by weird sounds
and a pair of flashing eyes, all he found
was a mother cal with a litter of kittens.

full of sinfulness.
It is softies who object to critics.
Criticism — good criticism — is
what there is not nearly enough
of. But there are overwhelming
oceans of gush. A good scold is
preferable to a smearer of mo¬
lasses.
