On this established basis OF so

pounds of goods daily, or $4,000 tons
But as the American army in Europe
the scale of preparation must be far

PRE NATAL CARE.

A large proportion of the deaths
of babies occurs i'm the first days ana
weeks of life. These deaths can be
prevented only through thes proper
care of the mother before and at
the birth OF the baby.
Breast feeding through the great
err part of the first year or the
baby's life is the chief protection
from diseases. Mothers are much
more likely to be able to nurse their
babies successfully If they receive
proper care, before, at and atter
childbirth. So
The food of the expectant mother
need not differ materially from that
to which she has been accustomed,
provided that her diet had previous
ly been common sense one. Ger
tain foods disagree with certain in
dividuals. and these should, of
course, be avoided at ali times.
The bowels, the kidneys, and the
skin of the expectant mother should
be kept in the best possible condi-
tion. During pregnancy the mother
must get rid Of not only her own
waste products, but also those OF
her unborn child. Liquids help the
excretory organs throw Off the waste
products, and it Is important that
they should form large part Of
diet of the pregnant woman. At
least two quarts should be taken,
much of the liquid in the form Of
water.
Milk is especially valuable in the
diet of pregnancy. Not only does it
contain all elements of the perfect
food, but 1t helps to stimulote the
kidneys to healthful action. Other
liquid foods that are valuable are
cocoa and chocolate, soups and
broths and buttermilk
Tea and coffee users should make
an effort to reduce the amount taken.
Alcoholic drinks must be avoided.
Toward the end of pregnancy there
will be an increased demand for
heat and energy giving food. This
may be supplied by the addition Of
milk to the usual diet. taking a glass
before retiring and between meals.
II milk is not always acceptable. CO.
Goa, or broth, or soup with biscuit
may be taken. The habit of eating
thus lightly several times a day may

The Allies need sugar.

ASSN o0oOA
The time has come for us to face
the fact that we do not need sugar.
Food experts tell Vi that the body
does not require even such sweets as
honey and syrups.
But if we feel that we must have
something sweet nce in awhile, we.
have at our command an abundance
of molasses, syrups, sorghum, honey
and maple sugar. as we'll as dried and
fresh fruits. =
The Allies are not asking for very
much sugar. Italy's ration is / pound
per person per month; Frances l 1-2
pounds, England's 2 pounds. Even
these quantities are not always. OBJ
tainable.
What the United States food ad-
ministration is nov asking Of the
people e here is to put themselves
upon a. ration of 2 pounds per person
per month. This does not in any way
limit the amounts of syrups or honey
that one a have. SO after all It's
not very hard, is It?
Certainly it is fair. Why should we
who have gone into the struggle
literally for good,"' enjoy anything
more than those who have been
holding" for three long years? -,
There is one thing which the
American people must prove to be UNI
necessary, n that Is the. ration card
system. This nation likes to do
cause it is policed into doing them.
This "ration" has come in the form
Of a request. 80 it's a matter be-
twSen you and your conscience. You
are on your honor. Don't buy more
than your share. Buy less il you are
clever enough to manage with less.
