WHY COOK VEGETABLES FOR BABY? Heinz retains higher vitamin content than is possible with ordinary homekitchen methods MOST home-cooked, home-strained vegetables cheat baby of vitamins and mineral salts he should have. Often, market vegetables are days old — already having lost precious nutrient content. Ordinary home preparation methods further dissipate these values. Tests prove that in Heinz Strained Foods vitamins and minerals are retained to a far higher degree than is possible with ordinary home methods. Heinz vegetables are hours-fresh. They are cooked and finely strained without exposure to vitamin-destroying air, then vacuum-packed into enamel-lined tins. Try three tins of Heinz Strained Foods. Notice how quickly your child takes to their fresh flavor and color. And know that he is getting, day after day, an abundant, even quota of the precious nutrients he needs. Ask your grocer. • BABY'S DIET BOOK. It shows what each vitamin and mineral salt does for Baby — and what foods each is found in.

Martha knows about actors; she married one. B ETTE DAVIS has become, virtually overnight, a young lady of some importance. But she's still the same Bette Davis who went early to bed, the night before the now momentous opening of "Of Human Bondage." And twenty years from now, a little older, a bit less youthfully blonde, but every bit as dynamic, she'll still be Bette Davis. You can change the course of a mountain spring but you can't change the purity of the water. She may have learned to express her opinions a shade more fearlessly in the years between the time she began to develop herself as a person and now, but you can be perfectly certain that those opinions, though dormant, have always been basically the same. Bette's a New Englander. You can dress a New Englander up like the Lilies of the Field, but he remains at bottom a slightly hide-bound, principled, courageous, ambitious, God-fearing, worldly-wise but straight-marching conservative. Bette and I have known each other a good many years, as friendships go, but, in all that time, I've never known her to be in any way other than herself. I'll admit, and Bette will admit, that she has developed a more "glammy" exterior, but her ideas and ideals — ah, shades of Ruthie, the grandest of all mothers — are today as they were yesterday and as they will be tomorrow. She has all the determination and "drive," of the creatures on earth, in the sea, in heaven and under the earth. She's stubborn as a mule and sweet as the early dew. You can lead her, with reason and understanding, into any "dark forest" — but try to drive her, even into "Primrose Paths"! There are those who say she's willful — I say she's Wide World Photos BETTE DAVIS from New England Some say she is willful. Bette thinks she's spoiled; but she is courageously determined to Martha Ford, her old friend and neighbor courageously determined — she says she's spoiled. The result is a young woman of glorious singleness of purpose. Fight she will and weep she can, but turn back, never! Belying the far-famed New England conscience and fear of witchcraft in all its forms, Betty adores things wild and woolly. A howling wind, a darkened room and Edgar Allen Poe, read under difficulty in the semi-darkness, are her meat. Oh, the fun we've had with spirit writings from "Planchette"! We don't really believe, down in our hearts, but for days, we look fearfully behind us at the sound of Little Footsteps — and the sudden banging of a door has been known to throw us into delicious hysteria. Even smart girls, like us'ns, like to be "spooked" every now and then. I'll never forget the night — but that's beside the point. Sufficient it is to say that our Bette put her conscience in cold-storage and let the "other world" have its way with us! She has lived in two of Charlie Farrell's houses. What's good enough for one New Englander is good enough for another, Boston or Cape Cod notwithstanding. Both houses are as distinctly Bette as they are Charlie — passively English, beautifully complete, with touches of a forgivable "capitalism" here and there in the form of deep, deep rugs and very old "objets d'art." But Bette sleeps in Ham's pajamas, in her taffeta and lace bed, and Ham's pajamas are only just pajamas. They're a size and again too large for Bette and it leaves poor Ham a little short at the end of the week. But those two sublime idiots adore each other. If ever I've seen a really fiftyfifty marriage, theirs is it. Ham won't and doesn't have to live on Bette's money and Bette won't and doesn't have to live on Ham's. The answer to the equation being a pooling of interests that has Solomon beat all hollow. They make each other sentimental but crazy little presents. Ham's a musician, and the other day Bette bought four little men with musical instruments made of wood, for Ham's own private orchestra. But she also bought two tiny elephants filled with phosphorus, that gleamed wickedly in the night. She decided that the pink elephants would make a better show as a surprise on Ham's night-table, so she switched them. Suddenly, in the. middle (Please turn to page 61) Bette's husband, Harmon (Ham) O. Nelson, the toy band and the elephants which glowed at night and made him think he had D.
