PAGfc 2-SUPPLEMENT TO MCHENRY PLAINDEALER-MAY 2, 1975 Every Day is Mother's Day With Handy Baby Products Being a mother today is not what it used to be . . . it's a whole lot more. As they say, times have really changed. So have lifestyles, and families, and mothers. Time was, before all the great modern baby prod­ ucts came on the scene, when most of a mother's time was spent in the kitch­ en -- cooking and straining solid foods and sterilizing j formula bottles. And don't forget the laundry, where washing diapers and ironing clothes was the order of the day. But the new kind of mother has a lot more going for her -- especially time -- and she uses it to develop her­ self, and give her baby all the time and love and at­ tention he or she needs to develop. Shopping has changed, too. Before today's super­ markets and super discount centers had well-stocked baby departments, moth­ ers didn't have the luxury of one-stop shopping. But now, when you shop for FRAN'S HIDDEN CURL BEAUTY SALON rD(f MOTHER'S DAY a- W SPECIAL! * Stop In And Sign Up For The Free Mother's Day Drawing Until MAY 9 (3 SHAMPOO'S & SETS TO BE GIVEN) AND DONT FORGET TO MAKE YOUR MOTHER'S DAY APPT. EARLY! 344-1019 baby food, you can often pick up everything else you need for the baby at the same time. Some of the credit for mother's new image and new-found freedom goes to Gerber, one of the first companies to cater to the special needs of babies . . . and young families. They began making prepared baby foods about the time your mother was growing up; now there are more than 160 items on the Ger­ ber menu: iron - fortified cereals, pure fruit juices, strained and junior foods including nourishing new macaroni and cheese, all ready to heat and serve, plus a whole array of tasty Toddler Meals, too. When you see the Ger­ ber label, you know you can depend on what's in­ side. All of their food prod­ ucts have been scientifical­ ly processed for purity, quality, nutritional value, and of course, taste. Research has shown that babies do have a well-de- veloped sense of taste, so the foods do contain care­ fully controlled amounts of sugar or salt. But these are adjusted to the foods they are flavoring, and are in amounts well below those in similar adult foods. With all this experience in the baby world, Gerber has gone on to. all the other things a baby needs, start­ ing with nursing aids like bottles, nipples and dispos ­ able nurser bags with clear ounce markings that moth­ ers . . . and dads rely on/ Easy-care Babygro cover­ alls make dressing the ba­ by a real snap, and baby toiletries (mild shampoo, soothing oil and lotion, a silken powder and soft cotton swabs) with the most famous baby trade- e mark turn baths into pure pleasure. Fathers, even the ones who are all thumbs, are getting into baby's care and feeding now, especial­ ly when these handy items are around the house to help. And that's another part of today's news -- having and raising a baby has become an experience that's really being shared by both of you. Another thing you might want for your baby is Ger­ ber term life insurance for parents -- the ultimate in love and protection. This and a "grow up" policy for baby come directly by mail.

A mother's love en­ dures through all; in good repute, in bad repute, in the face "of the world's con­ demnation, a mother still loves on, and still hopes that her child may turn from his evil ways, and re­ pent; still she remembers the infant smiles that once filled her bosom with rap­ ture, the merry laugh, the joyful shout of his child­ hood, the opening promise of his youth; and she can never be brought to think him all unworthy. -- Washington Irving "FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH" STILL FLOWING An ancient elixir, thought at one time to be a fountain of youth, and long since developed into a regular drug, is still in existence to­ day. A powder of aloes and other ingredients, its use goes back to the ancient Romans.
