Nutritionui Needs Of
Prospective Mothers

The total ~caloric, starch and fat
intakes were unaffected by income.
The intakes Of vitamins a, B. {,
etr.. rose Will the income. Protein.
calcium and iron showed a slight
rise with increased income.
This is obviously a matter OF
ignorance and poor selection OF
food rather than economic status.
The recommendations of various
