The diet is of primary impor.
lance to the ~eXpectant mother. The
food which the mother takes must
not only fulfill her daily needs as
to calories, protein, minerals, Vita
minis, etc, but must be so bal
anced as to meet the needs Of the
unborn baby. Strictly considered,
it is not necessary for the mother
to eat for two if she has an ample,
well-balanced diet herself. The
foods taken must provide for
growth and repair, must give suffl'
Gent energy, must be protective
against the deficiency diseases and
must promote regular elimination
Water is very important for regu'
lation and should be taken in such
quantities as the doctor advises.
The foods which are basic to
good nutrition may be listed as
follows;
Milk up to one quart a day
should be taken in some form.
Fresh and stewed fruits may
be taken daily and some Of the
citrus fruits should be included,
Vegetables, especially the color
ed ones, cooked and unlocked, are
desirable and should be eaten
daily.
Whole grain breads and cereals
are to be preferred to refined
foods.
If the mother is given an ample
fell-balanced diet with all the
food elements and vitamins, it VIII
not be necessary to resort to the
more costly refined foods and vita

prescribed only by her physician

maybe she wouldn't have come.
Ellen can tell anyone who asks

say it with as much zeal as the

BRITISH TAXES

An illustration of the sacrifices a peO-
pie must face to carry on a modern war
is seer in the present taxes levied on the
people of Great Britain. There the base
income tax rate is 42.5 per cent, while in
the United states it is still only per cent
for individuals in the lower income
brackets. y =
British corporations pay 42.5 per cent
CT their net income, besides an excess
profits tax which taxes 100 per cent of
their income above that earned as an aver
age in pre-war years. In the case of in
tax is only $500, and surtaxes run to 80
per cent of all income above $4,000 a
year.
On top of all this, Britain imposes
sales tax of y per cent on all goods ex-
cept food, and "a per cent sales tax on
luxuries. The total tax on package of
cigarettes is % cents.
The British government has figured
that if it confiscated all individual incomes
ever $4,000 it would collect only about go
million dollars year more than it does
now.
The foregoing will give some idea of
the burdens the British are bearing in their
efforts to save civilization from Hitler. to

Periodically, it seems, Key West must
go through a trying experience of work
ing-man layOffs At least, that has been
the record of the past three years in con-
nection with orders, from time to time,
from WPA headquarters.
Right now, the labor crisis appears to
be at a new nigh. Repeated layoffs all
spring and summer, with the last one cut
ting off sixty men last week, have reduced
the rolls of those working on relief to a
few less than twO-hundred. This low
figure compares with 700 on the rolls
early this year.
Once again local government officials
and civic bodies are sending urgent mes
sages to our representatives in Congress
calling attention to the situatiOn-stating
again that Key Vests isolation and pc
culiar status is deserving of extra con-
sideratiOn. Which is the least that can be
done for the families of our city that face
a future not at all bright.
On the face of it the facts do point to
unnecessary bearing down in the last lay
off. Nine counties were ordered to dis
pense with the services of 400 persons.
Divided equally, that would have meant
"a layOffs for each county. The total of
sixty was an unfair division, especially IN
view of the fact that Key West has been
in the past considered in the light of its
local situation of no industries and isolated
position. Nc such consideration, this time,
however
It has been generally understood that
much rational defense work would be
available for WPA workers in this area
In fact, Key West has been designated as
one of the few such areas that will re-
ceive such work in the near future 1t
may be, then, that the layoffs here are
made in anticipation of greatly increased
demands for labor for many defense prof.
ects. The Citizen has not been informed
definitely of that fact-but it certainly
hopes its surmise is correct.
There is nothing so discOuraging for
local government officials to face and COM
bat than the bug-a-bear of excessive un-
employment. Key West is buckling its
belt tighter the while it waits for more
cheering news for It's hundreds of persons
out of work In the meantime-can any
body think of a way out of the dilema? It's
a good time to come forward with a solu-
ton, if any.
