Butte's tiniest baby is dead. Elsie
Myriam Lahti, who weighed scarcely
one pound when born, has succumbed
despite the constant care Of a physi-
clan who undertook the task of keep
ing life within the frail body. That
the infant lived a week is considered
remarkable in view of the fact that at
birth artificial respiration was resort
ed to for 30 minutes before the heart
began to beat. Physicians then de-
clared hat the mite could not live
more than a few hours unless kept in
an incubator. This was disproved,
however. Although the attending ply
sician had admitted from the first that
question of keeping the child alive
vas a serious one, until a few hours
before death there was every indica-
ion that tiny Elsie would survive. In
he absence of IN incubator, the baby
vas kept rolled in electric pads.
