I7t where Stages baby Is known.
IL IL the little fellow is accounted not

a seven months wonder. In short, says
the Times Herald. S,agg's baby Is a lively

bic football players fer the university In

Athletics for the nursery. gymnastics in

die and ealis;henics for babes in 1ong
clothes. These are called for by a system
OF physical education which A A. Stage.
the weil-known athlete and coach at the
University Of Chicago, Is evolving and
demonstrating by practical example.
A A Stage. jr-. now seven months cid.
Is this most interesting example.
Beginning when he was fous weeks old
this athletic prodigy by regular and sys-
tematic exercise administered by his par
en-, coach, has developed strength and
skill In muscular movements which sur
pass ordinary human beings many times
his age. A gymnast at four months Of age
Is no mean accomplishment. Well-devel-
oped muscles CT the arms and legs are MOI
usually found on children who have trav-
eled but halfway to their first milestone.
yet this youth was decidedly muscular at
four months, and a; six could control all
the great muscles which govern the move
ments of the body. His career is A most
interesting addition 10 the sum Of expert
mental knowledge In child development.
and Is worthy OF extended notice.
Amos Alcnxo Stagg. jr., was born April
IL. 1899. and claims Chicago as his native
city. He pulled up eight-pound weights
when placed in the balance. and showed
no superior muscular activity TO ordinary
kicking babes until his father took him IN
hand and began TO coach him. When four
weeks old he took his first lesson. Until
this time the health OF Stage. jr., had been
poor, and he was far from athletic.
Training the Kouasster.
With the instinct of the trainer and
coach Stagg ST.. commenced to admins
ter regular doses OF exercise, which he be-
leved 10 be a sure antidote for many Ills.
The first attempts were pure experiments
but the results soon showed that the ex-
pertinent was to be a great success. Sim
pie movements OF the little arms and legs
constituted the first weeks of trGning.
The effect was noticed from the first Not
only did the infant grow in strength in his
arms and legs. but his general health i'm
proved. The work toned up his system

His Latest Accomplishment.

His latest Accomplishment IL TO hang b.
his hands 10 a small trapexe barr This he
has done only few weeks now. Gripping
his little fingers about the small bar. he
can hang suspended for a minute at =
time and can be raised and swung about
quite roughly without letting his grip slip.
Ali these feats he performs with a wi!l
and enjoys the work. for he II never In
better humor than when going through
the toughest exercise.
Mr. and Mrs. Siagg are both athletic.
The professors record as an athlete and
director of athletic sports In too well-
known to need repetition. Mrs Stage has
also won distinction In athlete contests.
As a student at the university she has .
record IN basket ball and tennis quito tho
equal OF any coed. She has advanced
most In tennis In which she was one Of
the leading women players OF the country
In the summer OF 1898.

He was married just before he started
for India, and his young wife declared she
would go inso danger with him She did.
and during his work In the cholera districts
was quartered in the mountains about
SImla. She was as fearless as he. and one
of her chief treasures is short sword she
carried for seif-defense
There Is an unconflrmed story that
GiDbes once disputed with an associate as
to the conditions under which cholera
germs viii propagate. Gihbes held that
they would have no effect on the normally
healthy body. The other said they would
propagate In any stomach. The disagree

proved Its efficacy other parents In tho
neighhorhood have followed their exam
Pile New there are three or four infants
on the South Side receiving regular exer-
cise. The experiments have gone far
enough In each case to leave no doubt %
the final results. Thus athletic precocity
seems destined 10 become fashionable IN
that region.

Exercising tie Leg SNasclts.

The early exercise OF his leg muscles
gave him the movements for walking. and
when three months old he would toddlo
across the floor. supported by guiding
hands, which did not allow him to bear
his weight on his feet. His next feat was
to raise himself from a sitting posture to
stand on his feet. This he has been doing
now for month and shows the remark
able strength Of his leg muscles. Many .
grown person would ind 1t difficult to
raise his weight by using simply the leg
muscles. yet this prodigy does II. not once,
but three or four times without stopping
and then does nol seem to tire.
Stsgg has coached his infant TO arch his
back like the wrestler, thus bringing into
use the hack muscles. and has made him
use his abdominal muscles by raising the
weight of the body from horizontal to .
vertical position without using the arrnA
But one of the most interesting and spec.
,acuiar performances Of this precocious
athlete IL the enc shown In the picture
