The great grand-ancestor Of the va
rious varieties of corn as we know them
today was plant Of the grass family
that grew wild and abundant in open
spaces in Mexico and Central America
thousands upon thousands Of years ago.
Various plants Of the grass family ma
tive to Asia and Europe were cultivated
in remote times in the Old World to
the forms known as wheat, rye, barley,
oats and rtce-but, until the discovery
OF the New World, corn was unknown to
civilized peoples.
OF all the known grain foods there Is
none that plays as varied role as corn.
Sweet corn cooked on the cob, stewed
with butter or milk, in fritters, pud-
dings or in combination with other
vegetables, provides one Of our most
useful Summer vegetables. Canned
corn Is one of the most generally liked
Of the canned vegetables.
There are many popular sorts OF dry
cereal made from corn. These as well
as porridge from corn meal or hominy
are popular breakfast dishes in most
parts Of the country.
From corn we also get various sorts
of corn meal, hominy, corn starch or
corn -four, as well as a number Of pre-
pared breakfast dishes that may be
served without cooking. Though corn
meal lacks gluten-the substance in
wheat that makes it so valuable in
bread making-it is extensively used
for many sorts of "quick bread" espe-
cially in the South. Corn starch-that
is corn hour-iS useful in making blanc
mango and other desserts and Is useful

etc.
. Whole grain cereals and breads had
better-Iu say should-be taken, not
only for their bulk to prevent constipa-
ton, but for their higher content OF
vitamins and better protein and min
eral elements.
If the activities are lessened, the
mother may have to cut down on her
breads, cereals and sweets, for she
should not gain more than IS to 20
pounds during the entire period of
pregnancy; that is, unless she Is under
weight. Fifteen to 20 pounds will allow
for the weight Of the baby, its protec-
tive coverings, etc.
We have an article on the diet dur
ing pregnancy and nursing which goes
more into detail We also have q list
ing of children, which can be obtained
by following the column rules.

suit all day long In the Summer, or only
for certain intervals? How about q
baby Of one year, after he gets accus-
toned to it? MRS. r."
Yes, the child can wear his sun suit
all day long. If he has very gradually
been accustomed to his sun baths, so
that he gets tanned, not sunburned.
The same thing applies to the year
old child. And 1t would be good thing
for both.

Baby's Teeth.

"Dear Doctor: MY baby is Is months
old, and is just cutting his first molars
and his upper teeth, and they are all
black and look as though they would de-
cay before long. Am not feeding him
correctly or was my own diet before
his birth wrong? should like to know,
because am pregnant again and want
to do the right thing. My baby takes
"a ounces of milk in "a hours. Won't
eat any bread and very little cereal;
MRS. H"
There is no doubt that your baby's
diet Is wrong, Mrs. H. You don't men
ton fruits or vegetables and he should
be getting quite bit of these by now;
he should have been having them since
he was six months old. Milk Is the
main prop of the baby's diet, but teeth,
as well as other organs, depend also
upon fruits and vegetables for proper
development.
It may be possible that your diet,
too, was wrong during pregnancy and
nursing. Even before the fifth week
of prenatal life, the foundations for the
second, as we'll as the first, set Of teeth
begin to be laid down. So what the
mother eats is having its influence on
the condition of the permanent teeth
the baby Is going to carry through life J
If there Is a structural deficiency at
this time, they are going to break down
much sooner than If they were perfect
from the start.
One quart Of milk daily should be
taken during pregnancy and nursing,
for its very valuable lime and pro-
tein. If the mother Is inclined to put
on weight, this can be skim milk; or,
If whole milk is taken, she can omit
part Of her butter. She should have a
Qoodly amount of fruits and vegetables
at least one and one-half pounds, partly
raw, especially the green leaf vegetables,
and she should have some protein be-
sides what is taken in the milk, so
some meats, or eggs, or nuts or cheese
should also be taken. (Meat or eggs

Corn in Many Forms

value of corn as stated by DR.. Wiley in
q United States Department Of Agri-
cultural bulletin:
I'm round numbers corn contains
twice as much fat or oil as wheat, three
times as much as rye, twice as much as
barley and two-thirds as much as hulled

content of heterogeneous matters as the
other cereals with the exception of
oats"
According to the food authorities
McCullum and Simonds: cts mineral
deficiencies are about the same as
wheat. These two grains are compar-
able in their content Of vitanin B."
Scientific experiments have recently
shown that corn products were as read
lily digested and as wholesome as those
of wheat, and that there is no direct
connection between the disease pellagra
and a corn diet People suffered from
this disease long before they had ever
thought of eating corn products.

as he sings at sunset the deadest sea-
son OF Summer Is not yet upon us.
Something Of Spring will linger In the

Cool, cool and tranquil, he drops his
notes into the evening from somt

perhaps a bush upon your lawn, and
10! the long Summer evening has grown
fresh anc tender, like green April
twilight.
All too soon the thrush viii return

silently about in the woods and thick
cts, but he will not sing. Breathless
heat and silence will settle on the spots
where now he takes up his evening
station to refresh the midge-haunted
airs. Then, indeed, Summer will be
upon us, and the long, uneasy, yet i'm
potent, restleSSness will settle on the
human spirit that sends 1t Scurrying,
ant-like, along the motor highways.
But still little while he tunes I'D his
little instrument and makes the drowsy
wood and lawn to ring with his short
ballad.

Liverwurst Is made from liver and
