eral and vitamin content. For
this reason, and to help regu-
late elimination, it is advisable
for the pregnant woman to
have at least a part OF her
breads and cereals made OF
whole grains.
The leafy vegetables have a
greater value in the diet than
the tubers (such as potatoes)
or root vegetables Carrots,
etc. or legumes (peas and
beanS).
Liquids
Since the mothers body not
only supplies food for the un-
born child but carries off waste
products it is highly important
that the diet be laxative. The
accumulation of waste in the
system is the cause of various
minor ailments of pregnancy
and of some serious ones. 1t
is important, therefore, that
liquids form a large part OF
the diet. Much of this should
be water, of which the average
woman should take at least
eight glasses. The milk, cocoa,
soups and other liquids will
supply the remainder.
A laxative diet should in
clude fresh fruit. Cooked fruit
may be used, but it is well to
have at least one fresh fruit,
raw, daily.
Cod liver oil is excellent not
only during pregnancy but dur
ing the nursing period. It is Of
special value in climates such
as Washington and during the
last six months Of pregnancy
when the baby's teeth are being
formed. The amount taken
should be regulated by the
doctor.
Watch Weight
The pregnant woman, while
regulating her diet, should be
careful not to overeat. The
woman of average weight should
not gain more than 20 pounds
during pregnancy. The over
weight woman will be better off
if she gains nothing at all. A
sudden marked gain in weight
may be a danger signal and
should be reported at once to
the doctor.
Now and then the expectant
mother wants to eat nothing
except one or two articles of
food. Such a craving should
not be INDUCED as the diet
would be unbalanced and in
adequate. There is not any
reason why the craving for a
particular food should not be
satisfied in moderation if a bal
anced diet is being followed.
The old theory that denial Of
such cravings will mark" the
child, however, has been dis
carded. Such theories have no
scientific foundation.

Problems to

By LISA DUMONT

We have received so many let
ters about blackheads that we
are offering today several rene
dies, hoping to aid many Of our
women readers with good prac-
tical advice in dealing with
such problems at home.
Blackheads are a real blem-
ish and when they cover the
skin in great profusion. We will
not attempt to prescribe for
such cases. These cases should
be dealt with by a dermatolo-
gist and can seldom be treated
successfully at home.

Get Correct Blouse
No matter how smart your suit
is, it will look twice as we'll if
it's worn with the correct blouse.
And because there are blouses
in dozens and hundreds of diff
ferent styles, you can be sure to
get a smart one.
Skirts Good Too
You can have a clever cos
tune of blouse and skirt this
spring too, and perhaps make
use of skirt you already have.
Or if you're in the market for a
skirt, you'll find plenty that are
attractive, moderately priced,
and well styled.
Some of the types that will be
prominent are classic ShirtWaiSt
types in feminine fabrics, fine
lingerie cotton and silk blouses
with jabots, frills, fine embroid-
cry or lace, Russian tunics, and
puffed sleeved taffetaS. All ma
terials used for dresses will be
used for blouSes, and more too.
Plaids will be extremely good.
Most blouses are rather short,
coming just over the top Of your
skirt. They are in light or gay
colors, for the most part,
though brown is a favorite for
beige. brown and plaid skirts,
and there will be some navy,
too, for similar suits in blue,
beige or gray.
Another blouse vogue right
now is the wearing of a smart
style that some actress has
adopted. We're showing photo
graphs of couple of the many
that are around town.
The striped blouse in our pho
tograph is worn by Ann Hard
ing in "The Road to Romance"
It is in silk crepe, in blue, green
or red stripes with white. 1t

Advice to the
ove|0rn
By Beatrice Fairfax
The Traps Fate Sets for You!
Dear Miss Fairfax:

The Traps Fate Sets for You!
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Ever since I went into nusi-
ness at 18, I've saved to go
to Europe. My mother and
father came from "over there"
and I had a grandmother still
living in the old home. But
the traps fate sets for you!
Coming home I met a delight
full man, 10 years older than I,
who seemed quite perfect. We
became engaged. His home and
business were about ESQ miles
from where we live.
After a year. during which
the much-discussed date of
our marriage was put off twice.
my brother, who is a doctor,
made a frightful discovery.
Brother Joined the staff of a
tuberculosis sanitarium, and
there discovered this mans
wife. Waiting for the poor
thing to die, he'd promised to
marry me. She'd been moved
from a private room to a ward,
because he wouldn't pay for
the room any longer.
Brother squared accounts by
having his wife put back into
a private room, and telling
my ex-fiance he would disclose
what he'd done if any objec-
tions were raised.
OF course, I hate him now,
and find it hard to settle down
to work. What did dreamed
of trip to Europe bring me but
sorrow? JEAN.
Suppose the fates hadn't sent
your brother to that particular
sanitarium, and you'd actually
married this man who had
treated his wife so brutally?
How would you have felt then?
You're young, free, and must
have a good head on you to be
able to have saved enough for
that coveted trip. Apply the
same hard common sense to
your next move. At %, life is
still a glamorous adventure.
Take advantage Of it.

Steam your face with hot tow

Be sure your hands are thor

Mix enough witch hazel with

yourself of the opportunity to

Remove the mask with warm
water and then finish the

BEECKMAN

The Boy Friends Friends
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My boy friend and I have
been going about with another
couple for about a year. They
are to be married this month.
They are having a dinner at a
hotel for their families. My
friend, to whom I am not en-
gagged, is going to be best man
at their wedding. I'd like to
know if it would be correct for
me to be invited to this dinner?
Should I feel hurt if I am not
invited? c.
It would be gracious and
hospitable for these friends to
invite you to this dinner, but,
since you are not engaged to
this young man, it is not neces-
sary for them to do so. And
you have no social right to feel
hurt if they don't.

A message of reassurance-in
case any doubt eXisted-is given
to La Sale Street and Wall Street
clients in a brochure just pub
lished by the Twentieth Century
Press. Tracing the history of gold
and it's use as standard money
base, the booklet also lists all the
leading gold producers of North
America, their position and out
look under the new monetary
program.
These authorities say that
while the world may have to
resort to various expedients, due
to the fact that the gold monet
ary base is insufficient for the
worlds industry and commerce, 1t
will inevitably return to gold be-
cause gold meets the requirements
of monetary base to an extent
approached b. no other metal.
Those who believe that the STAN
dard price for gold is near sacro-
sanct will be surprised by the
statement in the book that gold
has advanced six fold in the last
six centuries; the price has never
gone back after a legal change,
but always ahead.

NEW YORK, Jan. q G.N.S).
Wall Street is a little sour about
the market after its poor perform

Stocks put on a catch-as-catch-
can performance, and leadership
was poor. Issues that normally
are in the background were trotted
out and given a whirl. On the
other hand, too many are conf

All in all. there is no reason yet
to sell stocks at this stage of the
rise.
The liquor stocks can't arouse
much enthusiasm, too many hav-
ing been burned in this group
since last summer.
That flight in Wright Aero was
reminiscent of what it did in the
