BABES SLEEPING
OUT OF DOORS
EAST SIDE MOTHERS HAVE
ADOPTED SPARTAN METHODS.
Young Westerners Stand the Test Of
out-of-Do Sleeping and Grow
Strong and Beautiful Never Miss
Their Beauty Nap, Whether Rain or
Shine.

1,.:Let your babies sleep out Of doors
and put them on steady diet Of day
light naps,' is advocated by some Of
the fresh mir specialists. The advice
has been followed by several East Side
mothers and the babies who are sub
|jected to such treatment are wonderful
~ healthy, children. Little Alice I'm
E. w. Underwood Of 3l5 Tenth avenue
Sc, and little Hayes Dansingberg, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. T. J. Dansingberg Of
GIG University avenue Sc, are at, pres
ent much talked about, for they are ex-
posed to the fresh air treatment every
day. With the exception Of last week
never day has passed when their little
hammocks were not strung up in a
sheltered nook of the piazza. There
they sleep from two to three hours or
more.
1t sounds almost cruel when I say
that I allow my baby boy to sleep out
Of doors during the cold weather, but
it really is not; these regular daylight
maps are the finest tonic and strength
builders for little tots said Mrs. Dan
singberg.
As matter Of fact, little Hayes Dan
singberg, named after his grandfather,
Moses Hayes, one of iMinnesota's
sturdy pioneers, is a living example Of
this theory, There never was health
er or more beautiful baby than this
little blue-eyed chap. He will celebrate
his second birthday anniversary in
March. He is wonderfully we'll de-
veloped, has the bloom Of health on his
cheeks k and l has disposition as good and
never cross and has been robust and in
perfect health from the day Of his birth.
Mrs. Dansingberg attributes it all to
tile beneficial influence of daily maps in
the open. Not until the weather took
a violent drop below zero last week was
the rule varied from.
s Little Alice Underwood Cher mother
was Miss Alice Wyman, daughter Of
months I'D. She will celebrate her FIRST
birthday anniversary in April. She
weighs 26 pounds and it will be hard tc
find healthier or prettier baby in this
city. She is never ill-tempered
chuckles with content, and gurgles fo'
the Sverys5oy Of living. q; D y
IS. Alice never has a cold, = said Mrs
Underwood. "She will sleep soundly
out Of doors for hours when she woulc
not sleep more than half an hour in
j doors. When taken up she is warm anc
rosy. The fresh air makes the blooc
i flow thru the veins Of the little body, al
lit should and makes the baby 4Svlgor
ssOus. H. ss &.
a & When an attempt was made to inter
!!Eview Alices she. was sleeping soundly il
la sheltered corner of the southern sid'
sIof the veranda, the snowfakes leading ;
ttmerry dance all around her. Littl'
4 Alice was trained to become an open-ai
sleeper the second week after her birth
! and ever since that time, with the ex
Eception Of last week, her mother ha
adhered to giving her a two or thre
t hours nap in the open.
