Insiders say that most of the players were signed to contracts this year calling for bonuses contingent on players reaching stipulated batting averages, or pitchers winning a certain number of games. The arrangement, so the story goes, tended to make the players too individualistic and ruined unified team play. - Oscar Vitt, the new manager, complained about this system when he took charge. He insisted early in the season that all the team knew was slug. How much of a difference the bonus system made is difficult to tell. The probabilities are that the Indians could not have continued to lead the league as they did in the first half of the season. But contracts without bonus provisions might have had a tendency to make the Indians more of a team. Most managers disapprove of the bonus system. It was tried with rather discouraging results by the Chioago Cubs a couple of seasons IT. FELL. DOWN 7 (3QGO00 DEPARTMENT C.

Vitamin A and Tooth Structure Notable research has demonstrated that vitamin A is a definite factor in controlling tooth development. The development of the enamel is governed by a complex structure which begins to deterior rate as soon as vitamin A is withheld. When experimental animals are placed on a diet lacking in this vitamin, their teeth become brittle, chalky and white. This is due to the loss of the enamel, with its orange colored pigment, and the exposure of the dentine. An English authority also claims that vitamin A is necessary to help prevent diseases of the gums. Inasmuch as vitamin A likewise has many other important functions to perform in the body, every homemaker should see to it that her meals contain an abundance of milk and other dairy products, and the green, leafy and yellow vegetables which are a good source of this vitamin. Vitamin C and Tooth Health Vitamin C is closely associated with the health of both teeth and gums. There is strong evidence that this vitamin is essential to the dentine, enamel, cementum and the bone of the jaw. And there are on record remarkable experiments which demonstrate that dental decay and gum disorders are both prevented and arrested when extra amounts of foods containing vitamin C are included in a diet. Vitamin C is best obtained from the citrus fruits, tomatoes and raw leafy vegetables such as cabbage. Vitamin D which we get from the sun, from oils and concentrates, and from irradiated foods and those fortified with vitamin D concentrate, is necessary for the proper utilization of the calcium and phosphorus, which must be generously supplied if the teeth are to develop properly. well-balanc- turally sound. But even the most perfect teeth require constant care to maintain their soundness. Thorough brushing is necessary after every meal to remove all particles of food which remain between the crevices and cling near the necks of the teeth. If not moved, this debris may ferment, giving rise to unpleasant odors and creating acids which may attack the tooth enamel. It is important, however, that the brushing be done correctly, away from the gums and with a slight rolling stroke, so that the bristles can penetrate between the teeth. Never use a horizontal stroke nor brush toward the gums. This may irritate the tender tissues and may also force food particles under the gums' at the necks of the teeth. ; A Good Dentifrice Essential The selection bf a dentifrice is most important because an agreeable dentifrice encourages thorough brushing an efficient dentifrice helps to float away minute bits of food not reached by the toothbrush. It is also advisable to use a paste or powder which helps to restore luster to teeth which have been surface-staine- d by foods and beverages. The use of an antiseptic mouthwash, at least once daily, especially before retiring, is commendable as it leaves the mouth fresh and clean. It is also important to give the teeth regular systematic cleansing, and to see your dentist periodically for a careful checkup. , 0 WNU C.
