Baby Can't Ride.

The fond father, the admirine
uncle, and the doting brother, who
have been in the habit in Chicago
of strapping baby into q basket OF
other continuance and giving the
youngster q ride on the bicycle,
must forego that sort of amusement
or incur the liability of prosecution.
Such is the edict of the Illinois
Humane society, which claims the
practice now in much vogue, not
only imperils the life of the child
by accident. but tends to impair its
health in more ways than one.
The officers of the society have
been giving the matter serious inves-
LEGATION, and have become alarmed
at the consequences being visited
on the extremely young generation
of bicycle riders. A baby strapped
on the front of wheel must needs
stand the brunt of shock when q
collision occurs, and is helpless
when danger arises. But that is
only one of the least objections
raised. Medical experts, they say,
are convinced that the rapid and
motion affects the child's
brain. If the advice is disregarded,
the officials of the society will take
q hand and invoke the aid of the
law. San Francisco authorities
have also forbid babies being car
ried on bicycles.
