There are two ways OF tackling
the baby business. One Is the NOR
bid way, or, as the prospective moth
er I applauded expressed 1t, ''put-
ting on the invalid act during preg-
nancy. This, believe, is largely
favored by poorly educated women
and derived mainly from the
teachings Of nostrum vendors and
the like.
The other way is the intelligent
way, the sensible way, the healthy
way. The prospective mother who
chooses this way will change very
few of her ordinary habits, In fact
she will carry on with practically
all ordinary activities unless her
physician specifically instructs her
to discontinue a particular activity.
Mrs. r. j., whose way OF prepar-
ing for maternity I applauded as @
fine example, remarked that she
had had "a lot Of well meant adj
vice about not doing all the things
do, but Just laugh 1t off. Espe-
cially the woman who told me ]
must not reach up to hang clothe
or to paper the ceiling or anythini
like that, as the cord would 81

QUESTIONS q ANSWERS
Hernia Cured
To offset the report Of the reader
who was not cured by injection
treatment, may tell you that I had
hernia for twelve years, was twice
operated on. both times without
even temporary benefit (once suf-
fered considerably from complica-
tions), and finally received injec-
ton treatment from DR.. 80. whom
you recommended. He gave me
about six injections In all, and my
hernia is cured and I am able 70
work again. The cure has proved
lasting-nearly o year now, and I'm
as fit as ever. Of. d. M
Answer-Thank you. The radical
operation fails in as many cases as
the injection treatment does. When
the so-called Surgeons" with one
track minds get this fact thru their
heads, the public will get better
break in the treatment OF hernia.
Variations On SOmersaults
For "fraidcats" like myself per-
haps this stunt may be helpful: Lie
| on back, hold legs straight up and
support lower back and hips with
hands, holding for a minute or so,
meanwhile belly breathing. This IS
nearly as good as somersaults. Had
q sore spot in appendix region for
months, but It disappeared after
began doing this stunt mornings, so
I keep It up. (Mrs. M. l.. W.
Answer-Anything to get your
feet up in the air is good-counteS.-
acts Ill effects Of upright posture.
Invitation to the Somersaultau-
qua available on request, II you
provide three cent stamped envel-
ope bearing your address. Other
wise send twenty cents for II. We're
busy, too. 1t tells how to roll So
mersaults daily and why.
Three Year Old Infant
Three year old son holds his bot
tie continuously whether he drinks
or sleeps, and cries when ] take II
away from him. Husband says
should put red pepper on 1t.
(Mrs. A. IT,
Answcr--Give the boy a wooden
whistle he can blow. Babies should
be weaned from bottle, taking all
milk from cup, by time they are
fourteen months old.
Vaccination For Wh0oping Cough
Is vaccination for whooping cough
worth while? "a. b.
AnSwer-Vaccine treatment has
not proved clearly effective. Child
with whooping cough should Cd
be outdoors most Of the time, day
and night; (2) have q wide elastic
belly band laced on over unders
shirt: CD perhaps be given x-ray
treatment.
