Ask Anne Nan Anne Adams and Nancy Nash-Cummings TO OUR READERS: We recently wrote about a product called Chair-Loc, a liquid which will tighten up loose, squeaky chair legs, rungs, etc. We assumed it was widely available in hardware stores, so we didn't give a catalog reference. However, since publication, we've have heard from a number of readers in California and Florida who have been unable to find it.

Chair-Loc can be ordered from the Miles Kimball catalog, 41 West Eighth Oshkosh, WI 54906 (920-231-4886). It is item number 512186, and a 3-ounce squeeze bottle is $2.98 plus shipping. DEAR ANNE AND NAN: Before Christmas, I looked for dish-towel calendars. Years ago, these were very popular as useful, inexpensive gifts. Since we are coming to the millennium, I would like to buy several calendars early enough SO I can personalize them with the family name of the recipient.

Could you please help me find a catalog or company that carries this item so I can contact them. JOAN THORNTON, Washington, N.C. DEAR JOAN: What a great idea! The Walter Drake catalog, 4510 Edison Colorado Springs, 80915 (800) 525-9291, has always carried a selection of calendar dish towels. gave a call to the company's CEO and read him your letter: He said millennium calendar dishtowels either personalized or (your choice) will be available in the mid-July catalog. Give them a call to be put on their mailing list.

Write to "Ask Anne Nan" at PO. Box 240, Hartland, Vt. 05048. Questions of general interest will appear in the column. Due to the volume of mail, personal replies cannot be provided.

(Gardner's Studio) Oral-health tips for kids Good oral health practices begin in infancy and continues throughout life. The Indiana County Dental Society and the Indiana Hospital Pediatric Dental Clinic offer the following tips to keep your children's teeth healthy: Take your child to see the dentist regularly, beginning by the child's first birthday. Put only water in a child's naptime or bedtime bottle. Start brushing as soon as the child's first tooth appears. Begin flossing when two teeth begin to touch.

Brush and floss your child's teeth daily until the child can be taught to do this alone. Make certain your child gets the flouride needed for decay-resistant teeth. Ask your dentist how this should be done. Ask your dentist about dental sealants, a thin protective barrier that shields the chewing surface of back teeth against tooth decay. In your child's early years, you must provide this care.

Later you will need to instruct, monitor and motivate your child to help maintain good oral health habits. Attitudes and habits established at an early age are critical in maintaining good oral health throughout life.
