Your baby’s growth and develop
ment depend first on what you eat
during pregnancy and then on what
you feed to your baby. We no long
er think an expectant mother must
“eat for two.” It is necessary to
keep your weight from becoming
excessive. The important matter is
the quality or kind of food you eat.
Milk is especially important in
your diet at this time, mainly be
cause of its calcium content. Cal
cium is not found in any other food
in large enough amounts to supply
the minerals which are necessary
for your baby’s skeleton, including
not only bones but teeth. For the
teeth are being formed during the
period of gestation. But milk also
has many other essential food val
ues, excellent proteins for building
body tissues, carbohydrates for
energy, and some of the vitamins.
These same values are the reasons
milk forms the basis of the diet for
growing children.
The other needs for vitamins and
minerals in your baby’s diet are
supplied by vegetables and fruits in
generous proportions, whole grain
or enriched cereals (there are spe
cial baby cereals) and then eggs
and some meat in a vegetable soup.
All of these-foods are gradually in
troduced during the first year of
your baby’s life.
Your grandmothers used to be
lieve that their own bodies suffered
with every pregnancy and that the
baby’s body took what it needed.
Recent studies on large numbers of
mothers and babies, where careful
records on the diets eaten by the
mothers have been kept, show that
the baby suffers if the mother’s diet
is not adequate. The records show
superior babies when the mother’!
diet has been carefully chosen.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. — Re
cently a group of women tfere
asked: "What do you consider the
most important table in your
home?" The replies, tabulated as
a part of an extensive survey by
the Imperial Furniture Company,
showed that 49% selected the
coffee table, I have been trying to
analyse the reason for this popu
larity. I feel it is because of the
many ways in which the coffee
table fits in to hospitable home
living Its use as a coffee table— .
for fashionably serving after dinner I
coffee in the living room—is such j
an easy, simple way to make a
glamorous event out of a simple
dinner party. It is just as appro
priately used, too, for serving of
cocktails before dinner. Because
the coffee table is generally placed
in front of the sofa, it is the log
ical table to use every day for
your favorite magazines, and for
ashtrays, etc., to add to your com
fort and relaxation. And don’t
overlook the important decorative
importance of the coffee table.
When you have an especially im
pressive bouquet or plant, a love
ly vase, or prized collection pieces,
show them off to best advantage on
your coffee table.
Ibis popularity of the coffee
table is entirely a modern, Amer
ican idea. The first coffee table—
its low, convenient height, and
spacious top size, were originated
less than twenty years ago by Im
perial, of Grand Rapids. And now,
as this survey indicates, it has be
come the most popular of all tables.
