What can the mother expect from
the doctors examination? Some OF
the following things may serve as
a picture of thorough examination.
At the time of the visit the baby
should be completely undressed.
The baby will be weighed and meas
ured. The doctor will observe the
baby's general activity and the color
of his skin and lips. He will ex-
anime every part of the baby's body
He will look at the back, arms, legs,
feet and skin He will examine the
head, eyes, ears, nose, neck, mouth,
gums, teeth, tongue, throat, and
glands; he will examine the chest,
paying special attention to the heart
and lungs. He will carefully feel
the abdomen, and examine other
important body areas.
Through his examination, and
from what the mother tells him,
the doctor can judge whether or not

For Mrs. e. C. p, Arlington:
Following is our favorite sour milk

recipe that dates back to rum
drinking days. thus getting its
name, Rum Cake:
One cup sugar. cups flour, II

ture. Add milk to remainder and
mix well. Pour into creased square
pan, sprinkling Il cup mixture on

proximately 40 minutes.

Choosing q doctor, of course. is
one of the first things facing pros
pective parents, and it is wise to
do so before the baby is born. The
parents may decide to consult a
pediatrician-a specialist in child
care-or they may enlist the services
of a general practitioner. 1t is
worth the trouble it takes to find
the right doctor. The things about
a doctor that a mother wishes to
know are:
Has he been well trained in medi-
cine?
Has he had special training in
the care of children?
Has he had experience in the
care of children?
OF course, it's also desirable to
have a doctor who is kind and
sympathetic and has a way with
children" besides being well trained
and experienced,

clinic or child health conference "a
