CARE OF THE MOTHER
Reprinted by permission of the Baltimore Sum

"A DEQUATE care of the mother after
child birth nearly always averts
such immediate complications as hem
iorrhage and infection and tends to pre-
vent also the subsequent i'll. health of
the mother. The mother owes it to
herself, to her child and to her home
TO carry out the doctors instruction
ct this important time. IT may seem
unnecessarily costly, but long expert
ence has shown that proper care now
Is many times cheaper than careless
ness and neglect.
The mother should be in bed certainly
for the first week or ten days. About
the sixth or eighth day she may be
permitted to sit up for short time, and
II all goes well on the ninth or tenth
day she may be permitted to sit up in
chair, for little while. All this,
however. should be under the doctors
direction, as, of course, some women
regain their strength more rapidly than
others. Usually the mother is not al
lowed to go downstairs for month,
and certainly should not take up her
ordinary activities before six or eight
weeks. The doctor must decide in
each case, for it is poor economy TO-
over-do. .E
ONE of the striking changes which
takes place after the birth Of the
baby Is the loss of weight of the mother.
This may amount to 10 to Ii pounds.
The mother does not regain her ordinary
weight for two or three months.
The careful doctor will want to see
each newly delivered mother several
times during the fortnight after the
baby's birth. He will want almost Ger
tainly to make complete physical ex-
animation of her in from four to six
weeks. In this way he can be assured
that the mothers organs have returned
to their normal pl.ce and condition, and
correct any slight abnormality which
may be present. Doctors feel that this
examination is most important, and il
carried out by a competent physician
may avert the beginning of chronic
condition that might lead to a lie Of
inyalidism.

Diet
THE question of theSmother's diet =
an important one, for, of course. one
assumes that she is going to nurse her
baby. The food should be selected with
the idea Of Dourishing the mother and
furnishing milk which will. supply the
needs Of growing baby. For the first
"a hours one or two ,pints Of milk may
be given the mother III small amounts at
regular intervals, and perhaps little
vegetable broth and toast. The next two
days gruels can be added and custard OF,
poached eggs, Following this, little
tender meat and vegetables can be
given, and SO return to general die.
This general diet should consist largely
Of milk, eggs, leafy vegetables, cereal
made of whole grain. bread made also
of whole grain, and fresh fruit. These
are the best milk producing foods.
There are no patent foods which have
been shown to have any effect upon milk
production. OF course, sthe mother will
avoid foods which lead to indigestion,
both for her own sake and because Of the
baby. 1t is not true, however, that the
milk is affected BY various kinds of
vegetables, provided, of course. they can
be. digested by the mother. ~
Must Eat For THO.
A LMOST the only drug which 10
: excreted in the mothers milk is
opium or its derivatives and possibly
alcohol when taken in large quantities.
The nursing mother, of course, must
eat for two, and on this account 1t il,
often advisable to supplement the three
regular meals by glass Of milk, cocoa,
or some other beverage made Of milk,
during the morning, afternoon and at.
bed time. This supplementary food
should be taken within an hour of tho
regular meal, SO as not to spoil the
appetite for the next meal. Regularity
is +. important and nothing whets the
appetite more than plenty of fresh air.
Usually a quart of milk and an
abundance of water, in addition to the
usual diet, will often enable the mother
to nurse her baby successfully.

"The general appearance of the

which covers the mountains In many
places with a sterile soil. The reddish

higher elevations. from 5000 to 10000
feet, forests OF nine. fir and similar
trees abound extensively and cover
the mountains with a mantle of dark

AT frequent intervals throughout
these forests are open spaces filled
with luxur'ant grass, forming parks OF
faultless beauty amid the somber soil

groves of the quaking aspen, a CRATE

fold greater distinetness in Its rich
