Minerals and Vitamins

In addition to requiring protein
to help build tissue for her baby,
the expectant mother must have
a generous amount of minerals.
Calcium and phosphorus are re-
quired especially for the forma-
tion of the baby's bones and teeth.
Construction begins on all the
teeth before birth, and at birth, all
20 of the first set are completely
calcified within the jaw.
Besides providing the necessary
minerals to help construct bones
and teeth, it is also important to
include in the prospective moth
er's diet an adequate supply OF
vitamins. Vitamin D is essential
if the calcium and phosphorus are
to be utilized properly, and it has
also been indicated that vitamins
A and c are likewise most impor-
tant at this time.

Don't Overeat

Generally speaking, the same
foods that are required for a we'll
balanced diet under ordinary cir
cumstances are the ones that will
best serve the needs of mother
and child during the months be-
fore a baby is born. There are,
however, certain notifications Of
the diet that may well be taken
into consideration.
First, a word about the amount
of food consumed: 1t is not neces-
sary to eat more than is required
to satisfy the normal appetite, in
the belief that large quantities of
additional food are needed. Nu-
tritionists have demonstrated that
the energy requirements of the
expectant mother increase only
during the last three months of
CESSATION. Thus, it is not neces-
sary to increase the caloric in
take for the first few months,
though toward the end of the pc
riod a gradual increase in caloric
intake may be made under the
direction of the physician. 1t is
advisable, however, to emphasize
that the character of the addition
al food consumed, as well as the
amount, should always be taken
into consideration.
The Coolidge examiner., 1939-01-05
Adequate Bulk or CelIuIose

1t is most desirable that enough
bulky foods be included in the diet
to help maintain regular health
habits.
This requirement should be TAX
en- care of automatically if gener-
Gus amounts of fruits, vegetables
and whole grain cereals are con-
sumed. For in addition to their
minerals and vitamins, all these
foods likewise supply bulk which
aids in promoting regularity.
The wide use of fruits and vege-
tables will also help to build up a
liberal alkaline reserve, which
helps to safeguard health during
the period of CESSATION.
If all these factors are taken
into consideration, the expectant
mother will not only help to pre-
serve her own health, but will take
constructive measures to give her
baby the blessings of sound start
in life. Then as the healthy, con-
tented infant grows into the
healthy, happy, active tOddler,
and later becomes the healthy,
well-adjusted school boy, the
mother can indeed be proud Of
her handiwOrk!

tremendously, even though almost
half of the weight of the newborn
child is added during the final
two months before birth.
Recent Investigations also indi-
cate that the prospective mother
is best able to maintain her nu-
tritional reserve if the amount OF
protein in her diet is carefully
calculated. It is desirable like
wise that the protein be of the
highest quality.
Milk is even more important in
the diet of the expectant mother
than in that of other adults-not
only for its protein, but because
of it's minerals and vitamins. AS
rule, the expectant mother
should take quart of milk a day
whereas the usual diet for adults
calls for a pint of milk daily.
The Coolidge examiner., 1939-01-05
Some Common FalIacies

AS a result, some expectant
mothers overeat, frequently of the
wrong kinds of food; others do
not take enough of the foods that
are required to maintain top
health for the mother and build
the baby's body soundly; while
still another group believes such
antiquated notions as the idea that
a woman may eat whatever she
"craves" during this period.
In view of the fact that recent
nutrition work has given us more
knowledge than ever before of how
and what the expectant mother
should eat, dietetic errors during
this period are particularly deplOr-
able.

he groaned, what's left for you
and me? She loved us both, Roughly

stood on the wind-burned cheeks Of
the man, who held the lead-dog'S S
head in his arms, and froze, as he
waited, hardly breathing, for Noel S
voice.
ALAN! Come 'erel" cried Noel
Noel stood waving his arms in
manifest excitement. The dread
which chilled the heart Of the man
on the ice vanished like river mist
before the sun as he leaped to his
feet and ran to the camp.
"Trudeau!" said Noel, standing
beside the frozen body he had un-
covered. Shot tru de head!"
Alan bent over the grimacing face
Of the dead man sprayed with pow
der burns, to study the bullet hole
in the forehead. Then he turned
quizzically to his friend.

Through the day the team put the
miles of spruce shores behind, urged
on by the grim faced men who ran
with them. With his three tired

dogs Mcqueen was coming back,
coming back to the Ungavas who
were moving faster and faster, led
by the iron Rough with his pacing
gait that ate up the miles. But
while Mcqueen faltered, the Mas
kapi were gaining as well as the
team in the rear. 1t might be that
night that the Indians would over
take the two men and the girl
ahead The thought drove Alan on
and on through the day until the
heads Of the dogs slowly dropped
and their tongues swung to and fro
from open jaws, while their tails
brushed the snow. But the man
who urged them on shared the pun
ishment with the dogs he loved.
At last, when the muzzle of the
black lead-dog who had paced and
run through the day as if his SIAM
ina knew no end, sagged lower and
lower and Powder and Rogue be-
gan to falter while the game Shot,
with his hurt shoulder, stumbled on,
reeling in his traces, Alan called a
halt. Exhausted men and dogs
sprawled on the trail while the ice
froze to the painting huskies' slav-
ering fieWs.
They had given their all and it
was not enough. Still, there was
no camp that night while unspeak-
able misery menaced the girl who
waited for their coming.
When dogs and men had rested,
Alan tossed a huge bag of frozen
salmon into the snow and started
again on his hopeless quest. AS they
travelled, but one thought burned in
his brain: 1--WE must reach them to-
night! Tomorrow will be too late!"
The sun went out in the southwest
and the spruce of the river shores
went black with dusk. The slowly
moving team was approaching a
bushy point where the river made
a sharp turn. Beyond rifle shot
from the point, Noel entered the
spruce with his gun to reconnoitre
while Alan waited with the team, for
they were taking no chances of be-
ing surprised.
Presently Noel appeared at the
point and waved the team on.
Rounding the bend with the dogs,
Alan gaped at the river trail, ahead.
He drove the team to the spot
where Noel stood staring at two
stiffened shapes that lay shot, be-
side an empty sled.
''The Naskapi!" Alan gazed in
stunned amazement at the bodies on
the ice. He was expecting us, No
el, and ambushed them, instead!"
But now he have more dog!" Ia
nIented Noel.
He's got nine dogs and the fish
and meat the Indians carried. He's
laughing at us tonight, Noel! He
thinks he'll run away, now, with
the fresh dogs!"

Miss E. ID. M.-Yes, in most of

Mrs. S. ID. Lit is true that

is the complete equal of milk pro-

NORTHAMPTON SOON TO

Northampton's 1889 Irish potato
planting started on Monday morning
of last week when Mr.. William Hallett

ampton farmers started planting this
early.
In commenting on early planting
Mr.. Fitchett stated that his experience
had been that with favorable weather
the very early planted stock was ready
for market at a comparatively early
date; but he went on to say that
should cold weather prevail the seed
did not sprout and advance much, if
any earlier than early March planting.
Only small amount of planting is
ever done in that area before the lat
