“…The fact that the oral lactobacilli counts of either C or CL groups (Tables I, II, and III) were significantly higher than either R or RL groups confirms the evidence6' [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] for the correlation between oral intake of carbohydrates and the number of lactobacilli in the saliva. Glucose in the diet does predispose conditions for promoting growth of oral lactobacilli.…”

The two preceding articles in this series 1 have shown that the daily addition of a pint (473 cc.) equivalent of evaporated milk to the diets of children in an institution (one group receiving irradiated and the other nonirradiated milk) produced a measurable increase of growth in height and weight and in ossification of the bones in the wrists as compared with that of the control group given the regular institutional diet. The present study deals with the progress of dental caries in the same groups of children during the same period. LITERATURE A number of workers have reported a striking arrest of dental caries as a result of different types of dietary supplement. Since their findings have been reviewed many times (Hanke,2 1934) they will be only briefly The expenses of this investigation were defrayed in part by the Irradiated Evaporated MilkInstitute.

AND MARY SEGALL NEW YORK The hypothesis that systemic conditions are concerned in the causation of dental caries has led to studies of metabolic balances of calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen in an effort to determine whether differences in the utilization of these elements exist in groups of persons with and without caries. Boyd, Drain and Stearns 1 reported that a group of children without dental caries showed greater average retentions of calcium and phosphorus than a group with active decay, but no such difference was found for nitrogen. The results for calcium and phosphorus for a group of children with inactive caries were intermediate between those for the caries-free group and for the group with active caries. The retentions of calcium and phosphorus, and also of nitrogen, were markedly increased in a group of 7 children as active caries became inactive. It should be noted that a considerable number of the children investigated suffered from such metabolic disturbances as diabetes mellitus, late rickets, hyperparathyroidism, chronic acidosis and celiac disease. Koehne, Bunting and Morrell,2 on the other hand, were not able to correlate differences in retention of calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen with changes in susceptibility to caries in a group of girls on whom balance experiments were performed by Hubbell and Koehne.3 In the present study a comparison was made of the retentions of calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen of Eskimo children with and without dental decay. In the course of this investigation considerable information was obtained about the nature of Eskimo diet and the general nutritional status of the children. It appears that the only published balance study on Eskimos is that of Krogh and Krogh,4 who investigated the nitrogen balance of 4 adult natives of Greenland after the ingestion of large quantities of protein. The retentions were variable, the same subjects showing positive and negative balances on different days. More recently Heinbecker,5 Bertelsen,6 Rabinowitch and his associates,
