CHAPTER 1
"Home again, honey, and starved.
How about something to cat?" cricel
John, as he banged the front door
shut behind him. '
'All ready dear," answered Mary.
as she returned his kis3. "Run along
and wash. Everything will be on the
table in two seconds. Goodness! I
wonder if all men are as hungry as
you are every night."
The evening meal proceeded in rel
ative silence as the hungry young
husband devoured his wife's savory
food. At its conclusion John pushed
back from the table. Appetite satis
fied, a freshly lighted pipe, a com
fortable chair a feeling of peace
and quietude descended upon him.
Mary sat watching him for a few
minutes scarcely knowing how to
start. Finally, fortified by a sip of
coffee, she began. "John, dear, I've
something to tell you." She hesti
tatcd, swalowed and finally stopped.
John emerged from the haze of to-1
bacco smoke. "What's on your mind,
Mary," "Well, I. that is we," again
Mary stopped. "Humph," said John,
"I know. Don't tell me. MereTela
tives coming to visit us;, isn't that
right?"
Mary looked at him for a second
and her eyes grew wide and serious.
"Yes, John." she said softly. "I think
we are going to have a visitor a
relative a very near and dear rela
tive and he is going to be with us for
a very long time. I hope."
It took John several seconds to
catch her meaning, but finally the
truth dawned upon him. "Gee!" he
cried, "that's swell. Will wonders
never tease:" He took Mary in his
arms and kisseel her. Needless to say
the rest of the evening was spent in
serious speculation.
Eong after midnight John said,
"Neither of us know much about this
sort of thing, Mary we must get
some advice." "I might." said Mary,
"speak to Mrs. Murray; she has six
children." "Yes," said John, "and
I could ask the boss; they have four."
And one by one they listed their old
er friends with families.
Finally Mary said, "John, we're sc
dumb. Just a couple of babes in the
wood. Why ask your boss? Why ask
Mrs. Murray? If we are going to
havo a visitor we need advice good
advice so let's get the best possible.
We will find a good physician one
who knows babies and put our case
in his hands."
"Right, as usual," said John, ashe
turned over to go to sleep.
The next day Mary Reynolds visit
ed the physician and askeel his opin
ion. "I wish," said the physician af
ter he had confirmed her suspicions,
"that mre young couples used your
judgment. Child bearing is a normal
procedure. If nothing unforsecn hap
pens you have little to worry about.
But you must take good care of
yourself. Your own health is most
important, because until your baby is
born his physical condition depends
upon your own.
He then g.e Mrs. Reynolds a
thorough physical examination in
cluding the necessary laboratory
tests. Fortunately, this examination
indicated that Mary was normal and
healthy. She and the phy&ician were
i both pleased. At the conclusion of
j the examination the physical! said
"Young lady, you have a long and
serious job ahead of you. It requires
some degree of intelligence to per
form satisfactorily. I'm willing to
help you, but 1 can't do it all. You
nnut help yourself.
"IIer;j .i a diet list. Take it home

much as possio;e. Take olentv of
mild, not vigorous, exercise; and 1
want to give you an examination in
cluding blood pressure and urinaly
sis at least oncga month until furth
er notice. f
"Lastly, see your dentist at once.
It is absolutely necessary that your
body be free of infection. Dental in
fection may injure both you and your
child. Have your dentist get in touch
with me so that together we can
give you the best possible care."
Mary called her dentist from the
physician's office. Fortunately, he
could give her an immediate appoint
ment. She told him at once of her
condition and asked his assistance
aicl advice. First he x-rayed her
teeth, just to be sure there were no
abscesses, pyorrhea pockets or other

hidden infection present. Had there
been he would have removeel or cor
rected the condition so that it could
not poison her system.
His examination revealed four
small cavities and h? gave her an
appointment te have them filled. He
instructed her regarding the proper
home car.; of her mouth and gae her
a printed list of foods to include iu
her diet so that she eould build good
teeth fjr her child and keep her own
teeth healthy. He assumed her that

cian and himself shr? neeel not fear
that old worn out bugaboo "fo.- every
child a tooth."
Maty, thanking him for his advice
informed him that Dr. Hayes had alsc
given her a diet list.
"Of course." rnswi- ed Dr. Yo.i'.g.
"Dr. Hayts aH. ay-i v. ate lies his pa
tient's diet very carefully in cases of
this kind. You will find that the two
lists coincide completely. The list I
gave you merely emphasizes the foods
that are necessary for good teeth."
