All through school I've had a collection of private nicknames you wouldn't believe. I tried walking hunched over, carrying my books in front.

ALFRED E. SEYLER Witti ffi Michigan Stat Dental Astn. I have lost several teeth because they were abscessed. Each time the dentist has told me there is no chance of clearing up an abscessed tooth. Can't some of the wonder drugs be administered to clear up an abscess, or is this incurable.

Is any research being done in this area? A. J. C. A Advances and research have changed the thinking of most dentists that all abscessed teeth must be extracted. I have seen patients with several teeth in their mouth which have been treated by an endodontist because of ab Dear You: An embarrassment of riches, you might call it Here's your letter and let's ftope it cheers up the Flat Flossies although they will probably find little comfort in knowing that someone else has too much of what they'd like more of.

'Will Girls Lead My Boys Astray? Dear Ann Landers: I am the mother of four teenagers. These are perilous times for growing up, but I am not concerned even remotely about my daughters, Ann. It's the boys that worry me. Tom is 16 and Jim 18. They are obedient and respectful, excellent students, well-behaved and outstanding in athletics.

So what is the problem? It's the way the girls run after them that worries me sick. How much temptation ran a young fellow stand Now that school is out the phone rings night and day. Both boys have summer jobs, but when they come home at 5:30 there is a list of girls who have telephoned. Every night two or three girls drive up in their convertibles. Sunday a girl came over in her car.

She was wearing a bikini. I wouldn't think of allowing my daughters to be so shameless. What can a mother do ATLANTA, GA. Dear Atlanta: The world has always had shameless females and I see no evidence that this sort of woman is disappearing. Your work is done.

Mother or it isn't. If your boys were taught early to respect themselves and others you need not worry. If you failed to teach them, worrying now won't, help. Clothes Trader Tells How ICs Done Right Dear Ann Landers: Several letters have appeared in your column from mothers who received used clothing for their children. Some were delighted others insulted.

I hope you will find space to print just one more. I grew up during the de-. pression. Every evening gown I ever owned went to at least four proms. My maternity dresses went the rounds, too.

Nothing was wasted. When we moved to another city I offered some clothing to a woman who hasn't spoken to me since. So when my husband decided to discard an expensive sport jacket I gingerly offered it to a mother who could well afford to buy her son a new one. She gave me in return some play clothes for my younger children. It kills me to send kids out in brand new clothes to play in the mud.

I was delighted to have the hand-me-downs. 1 This woman and I are now good friends. The secret is to know which people will be offended and which ones will be pleased. And the only way to find out is to ask. DID IT Dear Did It: Thanks for a nice, homey letter.

There are more people like you than the other kind. And I'm glad! Confidential to ANTI ASH FLICKER: The moment she lights up hand her a nice big ash tray. She'll get the point. If alcohol is robbing you or someone you love of health and dignity, write Ann Landers, P. O.

Clark deplores the absence of the "old woodshed" once used for chastising the erring child. Clark, in a speech to the National Council of Juvenile Court Judges, encouraged the judges to work with the family, the church and the school toward "a better awareness of the defiant behavior of children and to institute private procedures for its early correction." "When defiant activity reaches the stage of law violation, the juvenile judge must step In with corrective procedures sufficiently stern to completely curb such he said. Clark said he places the juvenile court judge first in importance in the nation's judicial system because some 12 per cent of all youths will come in contact with juvenile court procedures at some time between the ages of 10 and 17.

In a highly competitive society of food surpluses, we are urged to buy more and more food.

And with money to buy, it is difficult to resist. In our culture, food and drink are the basis of most hospitality, the way we show our affection and liking for people. Yes, and modern times are anxious times for many with little opportunity physically to work out their anxieties. Food and drink become an easy way to relieve tensions. What can be done about the obesity problem? To date, results of treatment have been disappointing.

I is stiff and NEXT: factors which the dentist must consider in deciding whether or not an abscessed tooth can be treated successfully. Frequetly, however, the patient who comes to the dental office in severe pain will insist the tooth be extracted. There is a point to be made here, and it i3 that the way to treat most absecesses is by prevention, by going to the dentist regularly. If you have lost several teeth because of abscesses at their root ends, perhaps the only miracle drug you need is an ounce of prevention.

If you wait until you have a toothache before you go to a dentist, you have waited too long! MOST ABSCESSED teeth can be saved. If the abscess is one which occurs at the root end of the tooth, it was caused by death of the nerve or pulp within the tooth. This can be the result of a blow on the tooth, continuing injury to the tooth in biting or chewing, or decay. The treatment for the abscess condition is known as root-canal, or endodontic, therapy, and it is successful in more than 90 per cent of such cases. In the case of a periodontal abscess, which is one that occurs between the root of the tooth and the socket, the success of treatment is not always as high as with rootend abscesses, depending upon how much damage has been done to the bone around the tooth.

Successful treatment of this type of abscess may often involve the services of a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in treatment of the gums and bone surounding the teeth. Stay Fat There are individuals who probably should never try to reduce by dieting. They seldom are able to stick to a diet. For these people overeating may be the best way they find to adjust to their life circumstances. A physician who knows his patients well can pick them out.

But, for persons' who are quite stable emotionally, if they themselves really wish to reduce, and if their life situation is reasonably good at the time, weight loss is quite possible and encouraging. So does a good, well-balanced diet not too drastically restricted in calories, which keeps you from being too hungry during a slow but steady weight loss. BY DR. CHARLOTTE M. YOUNG KANSAS CITY OP Not everyone who is fat is necessarily an enormous eater.

Nor should all who are obese try to reduce. True it is, obesity is the No. 1 nutrition problem in this land of plenty. It is also a fact that the only reason anyone is too fat is that the energy he takes in as food and drink is greater than he puts out as activity and to keep his body alive. The extra is stored as body fat.

But in modern life both factors are at fault Too little energy ia spent in activity; Too many calories are taken as food and drink for the amount of activity. The conveniences of modern living mean we use less and less energy..
