Wherefore, disease or emotional
shock, or strain, of any kind, is
quickly communicated to her child,
often with fatal result.
A pregnant woman should realize
not only that she is carrying a
child which is going to belong to
her. but also to the state and to
the world.
If she has this feeling, she will
try very hard to take proper care
Of herself.
At her daily task she will spare
herself as much as possible for the
sake of her child; she will eat food
that can be readily digested so that
her child will have its proper
share; she will try to get plenty Of
sleep; she will try to avoid worry,
and exposure to wet and cold; she
will not give way to anger, fear
and hatred; and she will often con-
slider that she is the only protector
her child can have while she Is
carrying him within her body.
II women would realize this
sacred trust, how much more they
would get from this most beautiful

they would bring into the world

would cripple them more or less
for life.
Pitiable, indeed, is the lot Of the
war baby, with all that is included
in the thought; and how thankful
American women, who are preg-

spared many of the ills which their
less fortunate sisters, abroad, have
had to bear!

showed me what they had on-a gray
flannel shirt and thin blue pajamas.

their comfort bags, all their over
coats, all their treasures are some

trying to do what we can to get them
fixed up again, the comfort bags are
coming in we'll, and little by little the
boys are collecting the things they
care for in their lockers against the

front. But they need sweaters more
than anything else.
