A farmer who wants to grow a good

The bones, teeth. blood and muscle
tissue a baby has at birth can be no
better than the material which built
them. Every pregnant woman should
take especial care that her diet fur
hishes the right kind of materials
for her baby.
The importance of milk and milk
products can not be over-emphasiZed.
The pregnant woman needs one quart
of milk a day to furnish calcium and
phosphorus to build the homes of her
child and to protect her own. Green
vegetables are considered a good
source of calcium and yet, it would
take forty helpings of green Vege-
tables 10 furnish calcium equivalent
TO that contained in one quart of
milk.
Cheese contains much of the cal
cium of the milk from which 1t was
made. One half pound of American
cheese is the equivalent in calcium
to one quart of milk.
A pregnant person needs plenty of
iron in her diet to provide red blood
for her child and to keep herself from
becoming anemic. Eggs. dark cere-
ais and leafy green vegetables are
good sources of iron.
Green vegetables. eggs. milk. and
fruit also furnish the vitamins
which are essential TO eyeryOne's
health, and doubly essential to the
health of a mother and her baby.
At no time in a child's life is it
more important that the right kind
of material he furnished him than
when his mother is still carrying
him. His mothers diet at this time
is the best foundation he can have

PUBLIC RELATIONS

In all the public buildings of OuI
Government one finds information
bureaus" press departments" an6
other designations defining relations
between our Government and the
press. Even the churches, lodges
societies and schools have found II
necessary to do large part of their
own reporting for the press-Or gel
left out of the news.
twenty-five years ago the rail-
roads used to close down all the
avenues of information when there
was a train wreck, or an accident.
The result was that newspapers did
the best they could under the cir
cumstances with the result that i'm
aginative reporters manufactured
enormous tragedies out of minor ac-
try to "hush up" legitimate news.
There are no subjects more inter-
esting today than those that concern
American industry and enterprise
which, with all its fumbling and
grouping holds now, as in the past,
the one sure hope for us all to a
better life," says an able director o!
public relations for one of Americas
foremost industries.
The title public relations" hasn't
made its way into the dictionaries(
hut II Is on the way and you'll find
il listed as a profession in CLASSIFIED
telephone directories. Public"
stands for the people. Relations" is
the act of relating. That makes pub
lie relations perfectly understand
able. A public relations official may
balance the relations indus
try and labor. or he may act to purge
un-Americanism, or have something
TO do with the telephone, telegraph
railroad, or automobile industry. In
the evolution of human and econom-
ic affairs. we are told. there has re-
sulted new and genuine interest in
n type of approach to business prob
lens that, for want of better term.
we call public relations"
The public relations counselor
mast work hard and intelligently
since nart of his task Is to keep m
tune with the magic evolution oil
American industry. He must know
how industry grew; how great capl-
tai was obtained and organizations
and Industrial management bullt.
His are the problems of employ
ment. merchandising. Advertising
and wholesale and retail selling on
a basis that did not exist in the days
before mass production was born as
a child OF electricity and science.
Public relations had to bring the OIL
flee and shop in step with the new
adjustments of human beings, WIN
new social values, with failures OF
old plans.
Public relations ceased to be
matter like publicity and Writing
copy-it became a science that was
TO make partners of progress OF a
neopIe who had risen from the farm
and the village, and its narrow pains
TO become part in the complicated
machinery of a new nation that mad
suddenly stepped up from low gear
into high. Public relations had TO
help pilot the great concern that
made millions of automobiles, ana
the little concerns in counties and
villages that had scattered sales for
ces and a variety of affairs In one
or dozen towns, villages and cit
les. 1t was up to public relations to
help to adjust a new system ot Tree
so that il would prosper
with prosperity and progress. and

today in order to guarantee the SAFE
