SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch

nESPITE the modern tendency
~ of married women to si1un
motherhood, the fulfillment of
this biological urge on the part
of woman still yields the sreat-
est thrill that 1t is possible tor
her to get.
The maternal instinct in q
woman does not always reveal
itself until the baby Is actually
born. This is specially true as
regards the paternal instinct In
man.
But when that long g-awaited little
mite finally arrives and its
parents hear its first cry, few are
the hearts that do not melt with
tenderness and seldom, il ever, do
not both father and mother feel
rousing and stirring OF emotion
within such as has never before
been experienced.
Therefore you. the prospective
mother, be happy and proud that
you are normal and vigorous
enough to have child. and glory
in its expectancy.
Don't sit and wonder or brood.
Be alert and active and optimistic.
Having placed yourself in the
hands of competent physician
you can safely feel content so Ions
as you keep your appointments
when he tells you to consult him,
and you follow his advice.
If you happen to be engaged in
an occupation that requires physi-
cal exertion it is safest to avoid,
as much as possible, heavy lifting,
prolonged standing and constant
STOPPING. especially after the first
four months.
Try to interrupt your work
with periods for rest and relaxa-
ton.
Eat anything you fancy so long
as you keep a rational and bal
anced diet.
~ You need proteins (meat, eggs,
milk, leguminous vegetables such
as peas and beans, etc). You
also require starches and sugars
(the so-calIed carbohydrates). Fats
should be added to the diet. Nor
should mineral producing foods
such as spinach be neglected, nor
those vitamins you hear so much
about these days. to be found in
vegetables and fats grown in the
sun. and in the cooking water OK
all meats.
But although you may eat as
much as you please, do not over
load and be careful about keeping
the bowels in proper working
order.
If your daily routine does not
call for exercise. be sure to take
a walk at least once day IN the
fresh air and bask in the sun all
you can.
As the months advance you Will
find the most restful way OF lying
down one in which the hips ana
feet are slightly elevated.
Be careful about compresslhS
the abdomen and breasts. TheE
need support but should never be
CONSTRUCTED and squeezed.
Lastly, do not neglect amuse-
ments and pleasing diversion
Bear in mind that when YOU are
taking the best of care of your
self YOU are not being selfish.
You are at one and the same time
taking care of your precious baby

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
-By Helen Rowland

A fluctuating love is FAR
"A harder thing for woman to
endure from any man than
permanent hatred.
Love, like eating and breathing.
Is a perfectly natural thing, but
making, like cooking. is one
of the civilized ARTS-for which
few men seem to have the re-
quired technique or any special
gift.
Many q bachelor would marry.
If he could only love one girl long
enough to get all the way TO the
altar before another girl caught
his eye.
An old fashioned girl is one who
thinks that, when a man stares
at her legs apprafsingly, he is be-
ing rude. instead of that ne IS
being flattering.
Somehow. a man who stoops TO
marry woman for her money.
ALWAYS gets a moral headache or

covers that he is expected 10 go
right on STOPPING for the rest OF
his life.
Sometimes, a mans first wife
saves enough by feeding him on
lamb stews and left-overs for him
to feed his second wife on terra
pin and champagne.
It isn't so often presence or
mind as absence of enthusiasm
that enables a man to drive per-
fectly with one hand and casually
pet with the other.
Many a man has carried girls
letter in the pocket over his heart
for a. week--and then wondered,
when he came across it in his
desk a few years later. who on
earth it was that signed herself
"Sweetie."
A mans idea of a bad mem
ory' is the kind that keeps re-
minding him OF debt, a duty
or a woman that he wants to
forget!

South End team has been hitting the
skids and has dropped from near the
leadership Of the league to a solid
place in the cellar. During the past
week negotiations have been going
on between Manager Eddie Moore
and several well known New Britain
players and it is felt that the team
will be greatly strengthened for the
two coming games.

The crowd came early Many per-

rush for the rails and claims were

tied down to wait for twenty-five
hours for the great event, scheduled
for 3 O'Clock this afternoon.
Other spectators spent the night
in tents or in their automobiles and
a babel of noises rose throughout
