YOUR BABY AMI MINE
Proper Food for Prospective Mothers
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Every week l feel that we should
give some attention in this depart
ment to the prospective mother. At
ter all, we cannot have better babies
until we have better mothers, and
the time to start thinking of better
babies is nine months before they are
born. We cannot have a healthy baby
unless the mother has been giving
the raght attention TO her food dur
ing the long months of pregnancy.
If she gets into the habit OF eating
right, then she continues to do so
during the months of nursing, and
then there Is no doubt at all but
that the baby will be having the most
perfect start in life that any one can
possibly have.
One mother asked me how to
'eat" so that she will feel ambitious ?
That sounds rather funny doesn't it?
and I'll admit 1 did laugh a bit at
that letter-and yet it was pathetic,
too, because when n person is doing
all her own homework, and thinking
Of the baby's outfit, one must feel
ambitions.
Here is the way to know that
you are getting an adequate diet dur

POVERTY OF RICHES

With barred head and reverent manner the hired chaut-
feur laid a Christmas wreath on each of the hive bronzed
tableted graves. Towering many feet to the sky was the white
markle obelisk, bespeaking wealth, as did the woman clad IN
rich sable seated comfortably in the handsome Limousine which
was standing beside the plot.
But was the poverty of riches ever better expressed than
by this scene. Oh yes, her money had brought beautiful
wreaths but her heart was so poor, SO void of genuine feeling,
so bare of real unselfsh love, do destitute of the deepest and
most vital emotions of life that she let her hired chauffeur
place her Christmas gift on the graves of her lost ones. A
single flower dropped by the hand of love-how infinitely more
priced that would have been by those above.
Oh, yes, riches sometimes bring a poverty of the heart
that is deplorable. With wealth often comes Indifference,
GOODNESS, an actual ossifying and p%etrifying of all the chords
of deepest feeling. The real things Of life are neglected for
superfcialties.
A cold, barren bleak heart; is there any poverty equal
to it in its destituteness!
A warm, loving tender heart, is there any wealth equal
to it in its powerl
Don't let material things rob you of your wealth of heart.
Tt is among your greatest possessions. Prize it. Cultivate it.
If you can add to it wealth Of purse all the better. The COM
bination is a wonderful one. Think of its power to give in
fullest measure comfort and happiness to Others. In such
riches there is wealth, but beware Of the poverty of riches.

We are never quite so envious OF
Brother Man as when he achieves a
championship of some sort.
1t must be confessed that women
are terribly backward in this re-
spect. The Less Combative Sex
seems highly indifferent to tests of
skill and endurance as a rule.
Not a woman on my street seems
to care who holds the wooden weight
championship in knitting or who
gets her housework done up first.
But men do love to test their
strength so generously bestowed
upon them by divine right. Nor do
they hesitate to confine their com
clifton to the roped arena, where for
$21.20, plus war tax you may see n
wild bull swiftly walloped by an
other Exponent of Bull.
Nothing so simple as that. The
delicacies of the feminine. world are
invaded to show off mans muscular
prowess.
AS a case in point, here's a hardy
souled California barber. probably a
descendant of the stern '49rs, who
can chew seventy sticks of gum III
thirty-two minutes Nat!
This iron-jawed native son thus
eclipsed a record of forty-seven
sticks established by a Sacramento
high school youth.
"At the same time the smoked and
talked. consuming thirty-two min
utes in absorbing the gum. The first
sticks we're mashed by his powerful
grinders in thirteen minutes. After
that he slowed up. He believes he
could better his record" is the ring
side report.
oh, mercy. isn't the woolly West
getting wild?

Betty and Billy Cut-out drove
one afternoon to the home Of THEN
cousin, Polly Mount, to find the
neighborhood children who were
to be in the Thanksgiving play
gathered before an old-fashioned
fireplace Polly's Brother Sam had
built.

just like a movie" Polly explained,

Would you like to make a stage

the Cut-outs are going to give on
Thanksgiving? Then take a hat box,
tip 1t on its side with the open end
toward you, and at the back place
the Pilgrim fireplace which you can
make from a candy box. Stand the
box on its side, cut a rectangular
opening in the front, then cover 1t
with white or brown paper on which
you have drawn a rough rock design
with a brown crayon. Trace an
other andiron from the one above,
mount them on cardboard with a
standard behind, and put them in
the CRATE. The mantle is of plain
cardboard a little longer than the
fireplace.

One Mother Says:
Here is n game for the four Of
five-year-old Il play about the
house. 1t is tho sort of rhythm
game she will dearly love to use in
working off energy on her lively
days. She starts out by saying:
This is the way my dolly walks"
Then she walks about the room
stiffly repeating: And this is the
way she walks, you see" This is
followed by hopping, jumping and
skipping. Last of all she says:

PALACE-"The Nth Command
ment."

Colleen Moore is the plucky, every
day heroine of the film version of
Fannie Hurst's true to life story,
The Nth Commandment" which is
fitting follower to her famous
"Humoresque," and which is being
shown at the Palace Theater this
week. This is the story Of little
shop girl, who has a level head and
a loyal heart. She wins the true love
of a bundlewrapper, played by James
Morrison, and chooses him in prefer
ence to a gay young chap, who en-
joys the tinsel Of life when he isn't
trying to write song hits.
After marriage the heroine. who
shows a number of Lillian Gish man
nerisms, discovers that her young
husband is on the verge of a physical
collapse and must get to healthier
climate. The remainder of the tale
is full of struggles to obtain the
necessary funds to get the little
family safely to California. After
overcoming many obstacles the little
shop girl and her bundlewrapper
husband find happiness.
There are many touches in this
story as filmed that are typically life
like and typical of the writings of
Fannie Hurst. Not a few of the de-
lightful comedy bits were greeted by
last nights audience with hearty
laughter.
The Aesop'S Fables are unusually
funny. Screen snapshots, topics and
news events complete the program.
