"When you see wonderfully
smart babies, it's nerves, not
brightness, you will be told If
you visit the hospital. Babies
should never be played with till
6 months old. Most of the time
they should be allowed to lie
quietly, only turned now and then.
so that their position will not be-
come uncomfortable.
Another thing that is import
ant is their need of fresh air.
Babies should always sleep with
the window open. They should be
lightly but warmly covered and
clothed in winter. In the warm
weather they need only the mini
mum number of garments. Their
little arms and legs are better
bare.
MANY babies. because they
seem delicate, are kept in a hot
room and not a breath OF air is al
lowed to touch them. They are
swaddled in wrappings and blan-
kets till they cant kick or move.
All this weakens them.

Is also making a war on the ood-
ding of babies. He has Just
published his views that the fon-
ding and crowding OF babies
minds by fond parents is produc-
ing m infantile race OF neuras-
themes.

Frank and Paul, each 1 year
old, had their pictures taken at
a babies dispensaary as samples
of the institutions rules against
coddiing.

so much that they took the advice
of the hospital authorities and re-

health. He took the rest cure and
ate. his meals not oftener than
five times in "a hours. His bed
was his principal abiding place,
and he slept summer and winter
with the window open.
Nobody was allowed to tickle
his cheeks or beseach him to say
"goo" till he had passed the g.
month mark. No banana or
cookie feasts married the even
tenor Of his way. In summer he
kicked contentedly, clad like the
Arabs, plus shirt.
Frank was coddled till he was
brought to the hospital for treat
ment. From the beginning the
simple life had no attractions for
him. He was handled and fondled
till he got the habit. Then he
found out the power of his voice.
All he had to do was clinch his
fist and howl, and he was bounced
up and down and walked with. He,
got something to eat every time
he cried.
Now Paul weighs almost twice
as much az Frank.

Creighton Men
Have Hard Time
with the Aggies
Score So to 8 in Favor Of Manhattan
Men in Spite Of Fierce Efforts
of Omaha Team.

MANHATTAN, kan, Nov. I-(Special
Telegram)-A'Hearn's Aggtes again piled
up a mountain-high score on Kansas state
Agricultural college field today. The vic
Tins were the foot ball eleven Of Creighton
university. A total Of IS points was scored,
while Creighton secured 3 on a field goal
in the middle Of the final session.
Speer pulled off some more Of his won
derful runs, one Of them a dazzler for
eighty-three yards, He fell after getting
through the Creighton team, but regained
his feet and ran fifty yards further for a
touchdown. Captain Gingery scored five
~touchdowns and made long gains through
the line.
Croyle was another star, especially on
Interference, The teams we're nearly Of the
same weight, with advantage in the Ag-
giles" favor.
The Creighton boys played a fierce, stub
born game from start to finish. Their only
score came after a tumble and a blocked
kick by A'Hearn's squad, giving them the
ball on the thirty-yard line. Mckinney
booted II over the crossbar. AHearn used
substitutes in the last nalf or the score
would have been larger. Bates was not
allowed to work many plays and the open
work today was confined to end runs and
forward passes. The Aggies used this
style of play and the on-side kick for great
gains.
All OF the big gains n ade by the Kansas
team were made around the ends by the
magnificent backs Of the Agricultural col
lege. The game was hard fought through
out. The Creighton men played until the
last. and, in fact, during the last fifteen
minutes Of play had by far the best Of the
game. A few minutes before the game
was called Hanifan broke through and
blocked a kick for the Aggies. No sooner
was the kick blocked than M~organthaler
grabbed the ball and ran half the length
Of the field for a touchdown. This was
really the sensational feature of the day.
None of the players on Kansas team was
able to, catch the big Creighton player and
the run brought hundreds of people to their
feet in ar outburst of cheering. The sad
dest part of this, however, was that after
"Morg' had made the touchdown he was
called back by an official from Fort Riley.
This official claimed that one of the
Creighton players was off side. His judg-
ment kept Creighton from scoring further.
The work of E. C. Quigley, referee, and
L. j. Quigley, field judge was notable for
rim Of the Creighton team was carried from
the field unconscious. His marvellous work
in stopping the terrific line plunges of the
Aggies finally earned him this injury to the
head. In the second half Mckinney was
carried from the field with a badly injured
ankle. The Lineup:
