SMALLEST BABY HAS

Pound and Is But Thirteen
Inches Tall.

BRIDGEPORT Conn. April Lying
cuddled up in an impoverished incubator.
which is nothing less than a common chip
basket, with the handle cut OF. the small
est baby in the world is aghting hard for
existnce.
The wee bit Of humanity is the daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Peck. OF "A
WHY'S Place. Baby Peck was a month
old yesterday. She tips the scales at
sixteen ounces and is thirteen inches tall
Baby Pecks hand is so small that
wedding ring Of ordinary size will slip
over her mite Of hand up to her elbow.
Her feet are as small as those on small
doll An oldish expression is given the
tiny face, because OF heavy growth OF
hair upon the head A tea cup placed
on the baby's head would cover il up
clear down to the neck
Little Miss Peck is perfectly formed in
every respect. but she is so small and so
deficient in physical strength that no at
tempt has been made TO treat her thus
far as the average baby OF a month old.
The little mite is packed in cotton. then
warmly wrapped up in a flannel blanket
and placed over a bottle OF hot water
For the last FIVE nights the baby has
cried most Of the time. although during
the day II sleeps soUndly. The mother
thinks the infant cries because its food
does not agree with it and the physician
is TO make a change
Every two hours when Baby Peck is
awake she is given two teaspOonfuls OF
malted milk When taking the milk the
little bit Of humanity smacks her lips
JUS the same as any strong. full-sized
child.
The doctors said when the baby was
born that it would live twenty-four hours
az the longest At the end OF week the
baby stu lived and the medical frater-
NIFTY said IL was almost incredible. Then
they gave ii TWO weeks to live. Again
BABY Peck fooled the wise men.
Mrs Peck is sure the baby will live
now and the medical men are very deenIv
interested in the case
