When you have an especially de

Mother’s
Diet Very
Important
INFANT IS AFFECTED BY
FOODS SHE EATS,
DOCTORS SAY
By GARRY C. MYERS, Ph. D.
Head Department Parent Education
Cleveland College. Western
Reserve University
Fortunate the babv who gets its
food from the mother's breast. The
breast-fed baby has a better chance
to keep alive and grow up than the
bottle baby. Natural food is clean
and always at hand. It is the net
expensive food available. It Increases
the resistance of a well baby to di
sease. and helps a sick baby to re
cover from all sorts of illness. So
leading pediatricians tell us.
The nursing mother should lead a
normal life, as nearly as possible.
To insure adequate quantity and qual
ity of milk for l.er infant, she will,
about a quart of milk a day and abun
along with other diets, consum.-
dant fresh fruit and vegetables. Eggs
are desirable, too. Perhaps she should
have cod liver oil; let her doctor de
cide. She at first well may choose
most of her diet as if sh? had no
baby. But if it seems that a certain
Het disturbs the b:by she might omit
it or consult her doctor about it.
it is easy to imagine that a cer
tain food of the mother does not agree
with the baby when other factors es
pecially emotional ones, may be doing
the damage. Since c'-_gs taken by
the mother find their way into her
milk, she should take no medicine not
prescribed by her physician.
Her physical Bnd mental poise will
b? most important. It is an estab
lished fact that excessive fatigue, nerv
ous strain and tension are disastrous
ts the quaitity and quality of the
baby’s natural food. More than any
body -Ise, perhaps, the nursing mother
needs to aim at serenity. Unfortu
nately, many a young mother either
fails to discipline hexself to co so
when she could, or lacks the oppor
tunity to relax. If th? average father
only knew how important her peace
of mind and physical well-being are.
he would be far more solicitous of
her comfort and more ready, when
necessary, to help her reduce her
household burden*.
Feeling* Affect Milk
There can b? no doubb that the te”
der feelings of the mother toward h?r
infant help promote good quantity and
quality-of atural food for him.
Moot baby specialists advise the
mother to ’ .gin the baby at about
the age of two months on one feed
ing a day from the bottle, but not
necessarily at the same feeding period.
This procedure -prepares the child
for possible emergencies, such as ill
ness of the mother, and enables ♦
mother to be awav from him for sev
eral more hours when she so desires.

easier weaning

It is important, when the weather
is torrid, to look, as well as to feel,
cool. Choose colors, therefore, as well
as materials, with this in view.
Grene, blue, white, creams, some yel
lows, gray and the wl’.ole lavender
family except the deepest purples,
perhaps, are excellent. Beiges and
light tans also are cool looking.
Reds, black, brown are all warm
looking shades, and seem to absorb
the sun and make their wearers hot
ter.
Tailored washable dresses have a
cool look and they are appropriate for
business and vacation. Dark sheers
with light or crisp white accents gen
erally achieve a cool appearance, and
they are practical for shopping and
business.
Cool and Dainty
Dainty, cool and feminine Is this
Stein and Blane garden frock of
checked chiffon. It has tiny puffed
sleeves on a shirred yoke bodice, Jind
a graceful flounced skirt effectively
trimmed with a long velvet streamer
and a cluster of flowers. With it is
paired a large picture hat of fine
baku straw with velvet ribbon trim
ming
For evening filmy fabrics such as
chiffon, organdie In softest pastel
shades, mousseline, both plain and
printed; and cottons and linens, both
printed In gay shades or of solid col
ors and in novelty weaves, give the
appearance of coolness and are, in
fact, most comfortable.
The white summer coat is with vs
again, and It also is varied in style
and length. It may be short or long,
as you choose, fitted or swagger.
Little summer suits of flannel are
very Inexpensive this season, and
there are many smart and trim little
styles to choose from. You’ll find
them useful for everyday wear and
for vacation.

So she spent each entire day in her

decrease, rateer than increase, their

would like to acquire a little added

yet, you know, and while slenderness
may be a requisite of figure bZy

also essential. Slenderness doesn’t
mean skinniness by any means!

POEMS THAT LIVE
MAY
May! queen of blossoms,
And fulfilling flowers,
With what pretty music
Shall we charm the hours?
Wilt thou have pipe and reed,
Blown in the open mead?
Or to the lute give heed
In the green bowers?
Thou hast no need of us,
Or pipe or wire;
Thou hast the golden bee
Ripened with fire;
And many thousands more
Songsters that thee adore.
Filling earth’s grassy floor
With new desire.
Thou hast thy mighty herds
Tame and free-livers;
Doubt not. thy music too
In the deep rivers;
And the whole plumy flight
Warbling the day and night—
Up at the gates of light,
See the lark quivers.
—Edward Hovell-Thurlow.
