    W hen‘T here Is a New Baby HE Nurse comes to the home for eight visits alee the baby is born, if the policy has been in force nine months at the time of delivery. She will care for both the mother and child. The many duties of the Nurse, who usually has other policy- holders to visit, do not give her time to care for the mother during confinement. The baby who has the right start is more likely to grow into a healthy child. The mother is told how important it is to have a doctor examine her baby regularly to see if he is gaining and growing as he should. By giving mothers the best of care and watching the baby during the first important ‘days of his life, the Merropo.irAn ViIsITING NoursE SERVICE is making motherhood less danger- ous and babyhood more safe. Mothers and babies are not the only ones who are glad that the Visir- ING NurseE can come to their home. The father is relieved to know that a nurse can be called for any sick mem- ber of his family who car- ries a policy. Both the mother and the new baby are given skilled care by the VISITING NURSE.
