DIET IN PREGNANCY-No. 2

In yesterdays paper on the diet in pregnancy, I emphasized the import ance of supplying the needs Tor proper development of the baby and the needs for the maintenance Of health in the mother.
 told you that this should be &C., complished without increasing greatly the fat of the prospective mother or the baby I told you that while 1t is true that the mother must eat for two, 1t is only during the last half of pregnancy that there is any need for her to increase her diet more than enough to keep herself in good health, and that even in the latter half of the pregnancy, when growth is very rapid, the increase should not be more than 20 per cent. of her or dinary diet, and less than that if she is overfed, or has markedly lessened her activities.
 Over-eating during pregnancy is very harmful, for it may cause over fatness in the baby and mother. It can also cause even greater troubles.
 I told you of the importance of supplying the needed clements for
 the development of the bones and teeth of the baby, since otherwise these clements will be drawn from the mothers own bones and teeth and Softentng or the teeth ana dental car ies will result in the mother. If@4s greatly prolonged diminishing supply of these elements is maintained, the baby's bones and teeth will also suf- fer.
 The teeth of the baby are developed and enameled during the last months before birth and following birth Pro- ,viding the proper elements for this development during these periods is
 of the greatest importance, for the foundation is laid for good teeth, which should last throughout life with proper care of the diet and cleanliness and dental care.
 Essentials of Diet for the Prospective Mother.
 Foods giving an adequate supply of protein, phosphorous, calcium and iron and vitanlinS. If it is seen that foods supplying these elements are taken, the other needed clements will take care of themselves, for they will

 Making Paper :
 From Rubber

One of the most interesting indus trlaI exeriments of the day has to oo with the use of rubber in the E1anufacture of paper. It was a lit tie more than two years ago that frederick Kaye, an English chemist, applied for patents on the process. since then, both in this country and in England, paper manufacturers have been experimenting with a view to making the process of commercial value.
 To date the use of rubber in paper l15 not on a commercial basis. There will have to be a long period of ex- perfmentatfon before deductions can be made and conclusions reached.
 What makes the use of rubber in paper particularly interesting is the Iact that the latex or virgin rubber, is for the first time being proposed for commercial use. The latex as shipped. to this country from the rub Der plantations of Brazil or the Far East differs from the sap that comes from the rubber trees only in the addition of a small quantity of ann monia to keep the rubber from coagu-
 la ting and of small amount of wa ter.
 Use Virgin Rubber. | What reaches this cuntry is a white vlscous emulsion, resembling heavy cream in appearance and containing solution. Chemists have seen com mercial possibilities in this latex for
 several years, but it is only recently
 that these possibilities have seemed
 likely of realization.
 1 When Kaye discovered that 1atex
 could be mixed with pulp in the beat ing machine, and that this mixture of
 rubber with wood fibers produced a | paper that was as good to the eye, as smooth as and somewhat stronger
 than ordinary paper, he indicated a
 use for virgin rubber that has taken
 up the interest of paper manufac-
 turers ever since.
 The use of from 1 to per cent.
 of rubber in paper produces a paper
 that has a greater tensile strength, a
 greater bursting strength and a great i CT folding resistance. This means a 1 paper that tears less easily, a paper that resfsts more perrendicular pres
 sure, paper that folds without cracking.
 l Just the exact amount of strength
 that is added to paper by the use 1 Of rubber is not known. Some claims
 have been made of an increase of sev- eral hundred per cent. in strength. l Experiments Going On. l Paper manufacturers are now be- ing supplied with small quantities of
 latex for use in experimentation. If
 the latex can be applied directly in Industry this will be a great economy, as it will mean but one process in place of the three or four necessary
 now. With the recent and abundant
 increase in rubber growing, science is devoting much time and carrying out
 Ilany experiments to increase the field
 of rubber products.-N. Y. SUN.

HAVE YOU EXERCISED THIS

If you have been swimming, play ing tennis, or any of the other out door games, your arms are probably rounded. But there are a great many girls who have been too busy, or not able to enjoy these sorts, sQ I am suggesting some arm develop ment exercises for them.
 As such girls are rarely inclined to any strenuous exercising, the follow ing instructions are based upon a combination of exercise and massa ge, bringing about the same effect as does exercise, but with less outlay of energy. Another advantage lies in the small amount of time expended.
 While standing or sitting erectly, stretch the right arm to tae front holding it at such an angle that the tips of the fingers are at the same height as the head, the fingers held straight together and thumb close. Place the left hand with the fingers and thumb close, over the upper side of the right arm at the wrist, clasp ing the arm. Now slowly massag ge keeping to the upper side of the tensed limb. Continue this all the way up over the shoulder into the neck. Repeat this performance by massaging the same arm, aworkfng along the under side. Repeat all of this with the other arm, Continue until you have had five treatments for each side.
