If the baby wakes up inside of two
hours, and there is no evidence of Ill
health or discomfort, the mother
should let him wait, even If he cries
until the two-hour limit is up. This
period she can gradually. increase to
three hours. The healthy baby is
easily trained
OF course. dimpled, rosy baby is a
great temptation to the mother. espe-
cially while she is lying restfuIly in
bed, with a nurse in attendance. 1t is
SO delightful TO snuggle the baby
against her. to cuddle his tiny fists,
to smooth his soft cheek, his silky hair.
But just the same, every time baby's
sleep is interrupted by these maternal
for future troubles. When she is up
and about, with no nurse to relieve
her, and household duties to perform,
she will wish that she had trained
baby to sleep to the limit of his de-
sires and inclinations.
At the third month, the baby be-
gins to take notice of what goes on
around him and will lie awake a little
longer between maps. If undisturbed,
however, he will soon drop off asleep
of his own sweet will.
At six months he sleeps from six
o'clock to six, straight through the
night, with just one feeding at 8 p. m.
This p. m. feeding should be given
turned to his bed or crib. He should
also be having two maps a day, from
8 to II In the morning, from 1 to 3
in the afternoon. If he sleeps too late
in the afternoon, he will be wakeful
at 6, the hour set for going to sleep
for the night.
After his first birthday, baby has
only one daily nap, in early afternoon,
but the twelve hour sleep at night is
essential to his health until he has
passed his sixth birthday. 1t is non
sense to say that a young child does
not want to SLEEP. Nature cries out
! for sleep. Parents interfere with ma
ture by starting the baby off wrong
and teaching it not to want sleep. The
best argument is that the baby who is
kept up to ron1p with papa in the
| evening. at the age of two. three or
| four. is a late sleeper in the morning,
| irritable and heavy.
The baby should not be rocked TO
sleep. nor should he be tucked into a
carriage and then trundled to sleep.

LITTLE TALKS -. :. ......
The healthy by is a sleepy baby.
When a baby does not want TO sleep,
when it is restless and wakeful, one
of two conditions exists; either it has
been spoiled and actually trained to be
wakeful by a thoughtless mother, or it
Is in need of medical care.
A baby comes into the world sleepy.
If well and left to his own devices, he
sleeps twenty-five hours out of every
twenty four during the first few weeks
of his life. The mother who interrupts
his slumber to cuddle him or show him
off is endangering his health, and her
future peace of mind.
Take a lesson from puppies and kit
tens. They sleep day and night. The
wise mother dogs and cats do not dis
turb them. The wise house mother
tells her children not to touch or dis
turb the newborn pets. and yet she
will permit family and friends to break
in upon the slumber of the newborn
baby of the household.
Directly a baby has been ushered
into the world, washed. dressed and
fed, it goes to sleep. Unless reused for
feeding, it is apt to sleep many hours.
This Is natures warning to mothers
that newborn babies need just three
things, warmth, food, sleep. And for
the future good of the household. the
greatest of these is sleep and the habit
of sleeping. When a newborn baby is
the family and household routine is
not disturbed.
The healthy baby starts life by
sleeping three hours, and then waking
to be fed If the quality of the breast
milk or bottle milk fed him is sustain
ing and satisfying, the three hour in
tervaI is correct. II the milk is not
quite heavy enough. he may wake al
intervals of two hours and a half, but
no baby should be fed oftener than
once in two hours. If he does not sleep
in stretches of two hours. there is
something wrong with his general
health or the quality of the milk he
takes.
For two or three months, the baby
varies this monotony of eating and
sleeping only by an enforced daily bath
and an occasional crying spell. Some
babies drop right off to sleep after
being fed; others cry a little. Mod
crate crying does not hurt baby MOI
indicate a serious condition. 1t is
about the only form Of exercise he has
and. in moderation, is good for his
lungs But If his sleep is badly broker
and his crying is shrill and prolonged
his digestion Is probably at fault.

Who is our present white hope
champ, anyway?
Gunboat Smith, maybe. At any rate
the Gunner has been pretty generally
picked as the least punk of bunch of
very, very punk heayyweights- Per-
haps Gunboat isn't the classiest prop
osition that ever swung for the jaw,
but just now he seems to be getting
the popular acclaim as the king of the
white heavies. His showing against
Carl Morris recently when he won on
foul wasn't ali that his supporters
had led US to expect. And had Frank
Moran cared to stay in this country he
might have given Smith an argument
and perhaps reaped quite little coin.
AS It is Moran is hanging around
street corners in Paris and doing very
little at all in the fight line.
Arthur Pelky IS the lad who viii
have. TO come forth and wrangle the
matter with Smith. Pelky is the one
heavy who seems competent to enter
into a controversy with Gunboat as
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1913-11-28

to the heavyweight title and it is
thought by many that PeIxy will be
able to bring Smith around TO his way
of thinking.
Pelky's progress in the fstic game
has been somewhat delayed by the IN
fortunate MGCarty affair. Ordinarily
knocking out the best of the class in
one round would put a fighter way on
the top of the heap. The fact of Nc
Carty's death and the subsequent legal
proceedings which detained PeIlxy SO
long have only served to drag him
farther from the public eye. The ax-
erage fan has all but lost track of him
and almost forgotten to number him
among the available white hope con-
tingent-
PeIky is free now and able to hoof
If back TO the ring with a we'll formed
plan of knocking the socks OF every
one in his class. He is said To be
making determined preparations to
trounce Gunboat Smith severely.

From birth, the baby should sleeg

Baby knows no fear and needs nc
light. Neither does he need the
warmth of an adult body. There have
been sad tragedies of babies smothered
by tired mothers, too heavy with sleep
to know they had rolled over on the
other cases where babies permitted to
sleep with adults, afflicted with chronic
disease, have contracted the ailment
and died
Ventilation is important. OCCASION
ally we read of unusual cases where
parents boast that they have raised
eight, nine, or ten healthy children in
unventilated bedrooms. These chill
dren have been constitutionally strong
enough to survive such doses of vitiat-
ed air The modern mother does not
take the chance. She supplies fresh
air to her baby from birth. The little

the window should be dropped from

The crib. with it's little sleeper, may
be protected by screens.
Above all things. do not start your
baby's sleeping habits with the warn
ing-"Hush." Have the room in which
he sleeps as free from noise as your
household habits will permit, and do
not permit other members of the fam
lily to disturb him unnecessarily, but
when he is asleep on the second floor,
do not demand that everybody tptoe
and speak in whispers on the ground
floor. Remember a healthy baby is not
q nervous invalid whose nerves" must
be saved in every possible way. Take
it for granted that he was sent into
the world with sound nerves and a
normal appetite for sleep as well as
food.
The baby's habits of sleep arc regu-
lated largely by his physical comfort,
and this in turn is dependent upon the
way in which he is clothed. So the
next talk on Babyology will deal ex-
clusively with clothes for the baby.

of about 81 bushels of mature corn.
