In this best of all possible worlds

YOUR BABY AND MINE
Pre- Natal Care
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Mother to be writes:
/ have been much interested in
your articles in the paper now
that | expect to be a mother soon.
[ am wondering what should be
done about getting the breasts
back into shape again. Do they
go back naturally after the baby
Is born? [ have heard that cold
salt water is good to help reduce
them.
How soon after the baby is born
can / go swimming and does it
make any difference IL one is
nursing the baby about going in
the water? l am anxious to know
about this.
Answer
From the tone OF most of the
letters that / get, the general
worry is not how to reduce the
breasts, but how TO get them back
to normal size after nursing the
baby. The breasts are always
larger during pregnancy but this
does not last after you have
ceased to nurse the baby, but on
tho contrary nursing leaves the
breasts very flat and flabby. 1t
is a bad thing to put anything on
the breasts to either dry them up,
or try to reduce their size. Let
nature take care of that.
As for swimming it would be
unwise to do anything as siren
uous as that any sooner than two
months after the baby Is born.
1t takes six weeks for the organs
OF reproduction to get back to
normal, and it is wise to be care

Al the recent pendent" rcor-

REORGANIZATION" was accomplished
by removing Thco. G. Mel OIL as sec
retary--and making him president
instead. 1t was also decided by the
convention" to rcau out OF the
ranks all persons or newspapcrs that
might make faces at Nelson's new
election law. Nothing was said
about sending any ne olution OF

words, and Nelson's bunch had elect
ed him, so they no doubt considered
that Frazier could not well ask more
of them than that.

proper name for Mel 'on's new organ
izution. They finally decided to re-
tain the name 81. V. A." We would
suggest that "Nclson's knights OF

son and asked to attend the com

! that we wished to have nothing to
do with it, and were then asked to
attend simply as an onlooker-to
which we agreed. when the roll of
