Charm School Opened for Tenth Avenue 'Debs' C. Houston Goudiss Discusses the Diet of Expectant Mother. Some General Rules for Wise Eating at This Important Time By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS DISTINGUISHED writers and sociologists, both here and abroad, have concerned themselves in recent years with the writing of a Children's Charter and a Baby's Bill of Rights. These efforts are commendable because they demonstrate dem-onstrate a forward-looking attitude . . .' a genuine attempt to better the lot of the next generation. Indeed, they represent a concerted eiiort to ao ior children in general what mothers have always tried to :-;.: V-' ' c-' - - "s j i -v, ! ; 1 1 - - ' I do individually for their own children. Before a Baby Is Born But not every mother realizes what all nutritionists know that to a not inconsid erable degree, the very foundations of good health for the child are laid down before he is born. For it has been well said that good nutrition for the infant in-fant begins with good nutrition for the mother. Unfortunately, many people, even in this enlightened age, still cling to superstition and old wives' tales when it comes to choosing the proper foods for those important months before a baby is born. Some Common Fallacies As a result, some expectant mothers overeat, frequently of the wrong kinds of food; others do not take enough of the foods that are, required to maintain top health for the mother and build the baby's body soundly; while still another group believes such antiquated notions as the idea that a woman may eat whatever she "craves" during this period. In view of the fact that recent nutrition work has given us more knowledge than ever before of how and what the expectant mother should eat, dietetic errors during this period are particularly deplorable. of protein that is eaten, since over the entire period the baby grows tremendously, even though almost half of the weight of the new-born child is added during the final two months before birth. Recent investigations also indicate indi-cate that the prospective mother is best able to maintain her nutritional nu-tritional reserve if the amount of protein in her diet is carefully calculated. It is desirable likewise like-wise that the protein be of the highest quality. Milk is even more important in the diet of the expectant mother than in that of other adults not only for its protein, but because of its minerals and vitamins. As a rule, the expectant mother should take a quart of milk a day, whereas the usual diet for adults calls for a pint of milk daily, and teeth, it is also important to include in the prospective mother's moth-er's diet an adequate supply of vitamins. Vitamin D is essential if the calcium and phosphorus are to be utilized properly, and it has also been indicated that vitamins A and C are likewise most important impor-tant at this time. The mineral iron is also re quired in significant amounts and this may well be obtained from eggs, clried fruits, whole grain cereals ce-reals and green leafy vegetables. It has been found that the thyroid gland is unusually active in the expectant mother. And in those sections of the country where the drinking water and soil are deficient de-ficient in' iodine, physicians frequently fre-quently recommend the use of some food such as iodized salt.

Building Better Babies Every expectant mother should be under the care of a physician, and usually he gives specific advice ad-vice concerning the foods that may be eaten and those that might better be avoided. But every woman wm be a peuer motner if she understands something of the functions and fate of foods, with particular reference to this period. Don't Overeat Generally speaking, the same foods that are required for a well- balanced diet under ordinary cir cumstances are the ones that will best serve the needs of mother and child during the months be fore a baby is born. There are, however, certain modifications of the diet that may well be taken into consideration. First, a word about the amount of food consumed: It is not necessary neces-sary to eat more than is required to satisfy the normal appetite, in the belief that large quantities of additional food are needed. Nu tritionists have demonstrated that the energy requirements of the expectant mother increase only during the last three months of gestation. Thus, it is not neces' sary to increase the caloric in take for the first few months, though toward the end of the pe riod a gradual increase in caloric intake may be made under the direction of the physician. It is advisable, however, to emphasize that the character of the additional addition-al food consumed, as well as the amount, should always be taken into consideration.

I i - ' - f I . i i - . i Building Materials It is important to pay special attention to the amount and kind Adequate Bulk or Cellulose It is most desirable that enough bulky foods be included in the diet to help maintain regular health habits. This requirement should be tak en care of automatically if generous gener-ous amounts of fruits, vegetables and whole grain cereals are con sumed. For in addition to their minerals and vitamins, all these foods likewise supply bulk which aids in promoting regularity. The wide use of fruits and vegetables vege-tables will also help to build up a liberal alkaline reserve, which helps to safeguard health during the period of gestation. If all these factors are taken into consideration, the expectant mother will not only help to preserve pre-serve her own health, but will take constructive measures to give her baby the blessings of a sound start in life. Then as the healthy, contented con-tented infant grows into the healthy, happy, active toddler, and later becomes the healthy, well-adjusted school boy, the mother can indeed be proud of her handiwork! , i WNU C.
