eating for two" when there is
new baby on the way, is just
an old wives tale. Modern physi-
clans are anxious to keep the weight
of the baby under control. They
insist that mother eat foods that
will insure a healthy baby, but not
necessarily large one.
The growing unborn child In
creases its weight by just a small
fraction of an ounce day for the
first four or five months. After
the sixth month, 1t mounts up to
about one-third of an ounce a
day, which leaves about one-haif
the weight to be attained In the
last eight-Week period. Hence, in
creases in the amount Of food cat
en- can be started at the fifth month
about 10 per cent increase. At
ter the seventh month. about 20
per cent increase is in order.
The kind of food eaten from the
very beginning, however Is very
important. Tissue building mate
rials are needed--proteins and min
erals which are building blocks,
vitamins which are growth pro-
noting agents Milk and eggs are
by far the best sources OF protein.
They are efficient sources and sup
ply generous amounts of minerals
and yitar ins at the same time. DR..
M. s. Rose, a recognized authority,
says that meat should be used spar
ingly, lest the kidneys be oyertaxed.

that appeals, because lit Is SO com
Portable to wear for strenuous play.
The basque girdle Is curved In
front and trimmed with tiny but
tons, and the skirt is gathered into
the waist seam for real dirndl
effect. Note how the shoulder straps
broaden at the base SO they will
not tear easily altogether, this is
the most practical jumper we've
seen! The little blouse continues
the peasant effect by Its round,
gathered neckline that is bound
with bias self-fabric. A bow OF
binding opens the blouse in front
and the sleeves are also bias-bound.
Two cute versions are possible y.

GUARDING AGAINST FROsTBITE

Chilblains are frostbide of the
skin, whether superficial FIRST de-
gree, simple erythema, reddening,
itching, smarting and aching OF
skim or deeper Second degree, for
nation of blisters or blebs).
Besides the precautions already
described-that is, wearing the least
weight or thickness Of foot cover
consistent with comfort and avoid
ing rubber cover In favor of wool,
cotton, silk, linen, paper and leather,
all of which are poorer heat con-
ductors and hence better insulators
against chilling of the feet, and
avoiding footwear that Is too tight
to permit free circulation, it is i'm
portant to avoid excessive sweat
ing of the feet, since moisture or
dampness, from within or from
without destroys the insulating ef-
feet of foot covers and favors FROST
bite.
If your feet sweat too much, send
stamped envelope bearing your adj
dress and ask for monograph on
Sweating" Or inclose ten cents
and ask for booklet Care of the
Feet"
Heavy, thick soles are objection
able in respect to the prevention OF
chilblain or frostbite not SO much
because of their weight or thick
ness but because they are SO rigid or
stiff that they interfere with the
natural leverage action Of the great
toe and the natural flexion of the
forefoot in walking. When such stiff
soles hold the foot as 1t were IN
splints, the effect of natural func-
ton of the muscles of the foot upon
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-28

the circulation Is lost, and frostbite
Is more likely to occur. Far better,
in dry cold, are moccasins, pacs
(felt halfboots) or the softest, most
flexible soles obtairable. Provide
plenty of room To wriggle the toes
freely and TO give the toes room to
spread out--instead of squeezing
them together in cramped posi-
ton. as most fashionable shoes do.
In many instances it has been
observed that insufficient calcium
intake or assimilation rerders the
Individual unduly sensitive to chill
blains. How to correct this is de-
scribed in pamphlet The Calcium
Shortage'-for copy send stamped
envelope bearing your address.
Persons who stand long hours are
more likely TO have frostbite or
chilblains than persons who may
be as much on their feet but walk
ing or working or exercising. Pro-
longed standing promotes stagna-
ton of blood In the legs and feet,
while exercise or use of the legs
and feet promotes better return of
blood from the feet through the
veins. To such persons. whether
they are subject TO varicose veins
or not, I offer three suggestiors.
First. they should practice Belly
Breathing. Second, they should take
an Iodin Ration. On request, If you
inclose stamped enveloped bearing
your address, will send instructions
for both Of these. Third, they should
endeavor to lie supine, raise both
legs to verticle and go through
bicycle-ridirg movements with legs
and feet for a few moments every
hour or two. If they have dull pain
in the legs perhaps they need a
good daily ration of vitamin B
complex to supplement their diet.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS


Have had diabetes about twenty
years. Understand the patent on
insulin has expired and now there
Is danger of impure or contaminate ted
preparations. &C. r. Al
AnsWer--That propaganda is ms
pred by the sharks who hope to
retain some kind of monopoly on
insulin. I'd pay no attention TO it,
If l had diabetes - I'd use any
brand of insulin bearing the label
OF any reputable manufacturer.
How Long We Live
Can you tell me whether people
today live longer than people lived
hundred years ago? That is, are
we shorter-lived or longer lived than
our ancestors? (E. II. p.
Answer--In 1910 the average
length, OF life in the United States
was 63.77 years. This is about tWen-
ty years more than 1t was In 1900.
In Italy In 1880 the average age OF
men at death was 1915 years, wo-
men So years. In the United States
In 1880 average age Of men at death
was 6O.62 years, women 1882. Why
the women survive longer than the
