A Mother's Diet in Pregnancy

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. O. i THE proper diet lx of import- f •We at all time* of life but it ia ( never of greater moment than dur- ( trig pregnancy. Studies of large group* of wo- ( men have definitely eatabliahed that there In a clone relationship between the character of the mother'* diet and the development . of the liaby. For example, it waa found that < when women are on a poor diet during pregnancy, the number of , early or premature births and stillbirth* la higher than in women who receive a good diet Further more, women who receive a good diet have healthy babies and suffer fewer complications during pregnancy and childbirth. The ability of the mother to nurse her baby also la affected by the quality of her diet during pregnancy j Animal experiments have been carried out to show that failure to provide all of the necessary food parts during pregnancy may result in abnormal development of the tissues of the offspring, resulting tn what ia known as congenital malformation, that ia. alformation present at the time of birth However, thus far no one has been able to prove the relationship between such congenital malforms lions in human beings and dietary deficiencies in the mother during pregnancy Nevertheless, because there is such good evidence that proper diet during pregnanc y lessens the Hkelihood of complications and contributes to safer delivery <4 the baby and better bee Uh of the thfast. ft ia tagorunt that eventhing poesible ba done to insure

The founda tion will be administered in the interest of child welfare high school competitions and sports manship prizes. Presumably the Bambino salvaged considerable funds, plus royalties from the movie and the book, "The Life of Babe Ruth." o— —o W Marshall Dale of Fort Wayne, continues his successful business career with his appointment as executive vice-president of the Indianapolis Railway transit lines Mr Dale is ably equipped by training and experience to operate this important utility in the capita! city. Prior to serving as exec utive vice-president of Bowser. Inc . h< was president of the Indiana Sen ice Corporation in Fort Wayne and was instrumental in modernizing that system with the installation of motor busses. He ranks high as a business and civic leader and is a gentleman among the finest of gentlemen. o --oThe success of a friendly, nonpolitical approach was demonstrat ed by a group of eight American doctors who completed a six-week tour of Poland, with the object of acquainting medical men there with the newest procedures and equipment in their line. More than 4" njajor operations were performed by the visiting surgeons. and demonstrations were made of the newest equipment I The Poles were made acquainted j for the first time with modern anesthetic methods, and furnished with American medical literature and the newest instruments. Polish and American doctors worked together as friends and the tour made many friends for the United States. It is a pity that simple friendliness, with its by product of unselfish service, cannot be brought to bear on diplomatic proII cedure.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE HELEN Mt quiet, thinking, re* membenng. That night when she bad driven Don into the city believing—hoping—that It marked the beginning of a new epoch in her Ufa They nad had supper at an exclusive little French place in the Fifties. It had cost him a small fortune but he hadn't seemed to mind. Anyway, between his inexplicable but delightful attentiveness to her and the potency of the wine, she had found herself unable to refuse his invitation to visit bls apartment later. Perhaps that had been her mistake, she told herself now. Pernaps she shouldn't have been so ready and willing. But she had believed he was not one to be kept waiting. He could forget too easily. his desire was too casual. Her dark eyes sparkled and a familiar deep Inner trembling shook her with her memories Well, be that as it may, she had gone, and though his kisses had roused and thrilled her, she had come away with the feeling that

no. matter how much it meant to her, it had meant Utile to him. Once again she was the mouse being played with, and all the way nome she bad gone over and over every moment she had been with him with mingled emotions of disappointment and fear. Because—whatever it meant to him—she herself was helpless before it. She must see him again But how? U John were to be with her— She had seen him again-and sooner than she had imagined. She had reached Stone House after midnight expecting to hnd the house in darkness. Instead it was ablaze with lights. She bad come in. after putting her car away, through the kitchen and had found Alec alone in the living room, stretched out on the davenport, a half-empty decanter and glass on the floor beside him. He lined his head as she appeared and grinned at her. -For heaven’’ sake, what are you doing all alone here ?" she had asked. He had swung bls feet to the floor and sat up. “Welcome hone," he had said, and invited her to a chair with a wave of his hand. “I’ve been betting with myself whether you or John would get back first." -John! Where is he?" -In New York." -In New York! John? Tonight?" She had dropped into the chair, wondering U he were not a little drunk. “No, I'm not," he had assured her, reading her mind. -Alee, what's going on around kava “Plenty." he had said, and putting up one hand, he bad dramatically checked off the happenings of the day on his finger*. “One: I’ve re-enlisted In the Navy. Two: Madame Kingsley bad a stroke and Has this somaM I at the point at deatlb Three.

Anne nnas out rm married wnen my wife calls up from Honolulu and she gets to the telephone ahead of me. Four: 1 try to explain about it to her and John won't give me a chance." He stopped, waiting to see what effect all this news would have. But Helen had hardly got past his first sentence. Alec had reenlisted. That meant he wouldn't be here this winter and that meant that John wouldn't be able Jo go in to the city with her. Exultation, like a small hot Are, raced through her. But she only said, “Where did you say John was?" "In New York." "Why did be go there?" "He drove Anne in. She couldn't shake the dust fast enough. Not that she cared too much about my defection. She certainly didn't look or act heart-broken." He paused. “By the way, between you and me, my dear, I'd keep an eye on those two if I were you." Helen, still lost tn her own thoughts, said, "What two?" "You're not really that dumb. You must have seen something yourself. Anns and John, of course." She came to alert attention. “What, exactly, do you mean?" He had shrugged "Welt, he drove her in to the city at six o'clock and it's now twa That's all I know. Make what you will , of it. Or don’t make anything at , all." , She had pretended Indifference but she had left him, presently, and gone up to her room to bed. 1 Only not to sleep She was wide awake when John's car came down i the driveway a half hour later and I awake when he tiptoed in through l the door. I “Turn on the light if you like," ' she had said. I He had switched it on and she I had lain watching him as be un- - dressed, waiting for him to speak. > But he did not speak. At last she • broke the silence. I "Alec tells me he's married." “That's right." s "So Anne cleared out" 1 "Naturally. Her whole reason for staying here was gone." • “Was it?" He had turned sharply. "What ?" She shook her head, a taint i smile on her lipa "Nothing." - There was silence for another r moment Then, “Did you have a hard time Onding hotel accommodations for her?" "Not too hard " He had - checked himself and come to the e foot of her bed. "Are your queas Hons leading anywhere in particular?" 1 “They might be." She Mt up straight and clasped her hands 1 about her knees and spike with soft clarity. "Shall 1 tell you - where?" <• "Please do." s She drew a breath. "Why did it take you seven hours to And hotel e accommodations if they weren't r hard to and. John?” t “Pertsape youd better sjxak t more clearly." ,

one snruggea "Here's another approach—U you don't understand that one. Alec is married. He's also re-en-listed. That means he won't be staying here this winter. Right?" "Right." "So you won’t be going tn to New York with me, after all." "Naturally, 1 can’t." "I realize that. The point Is, yor can't keep me here just because you aren't going." For a minute their glances measured each other. Then he said with deliberation, "1 don't want to." “You mean you want me to go?" He made no reply. "You mean"—she persisted—"you would like me to refuse tc Uve with you?" He took hold of the footboard and held onto it until his knucklei showed white. “I mean 1 would like you tc give me a divorce." he said quietly. Ahl Now it was out at last. B she could just manage this right —not letting him go until she war sure of Don—- " Because of Anne?" she asked. "Yea Because of Anne."
