Born in a Bobsled.

Cedar Falls, la.—“A bouncing, baby boy” first saw the light of day and felt the cold impact of the world while his mother was en route from the family home, five miles southwest of here, in a bobsled to Sartori hospital. Members of the family had been afflicted by Influenza and it was decided that the prospective mother would have better care and her life safeguarded if she were taken from the home and isolated from danger of infection.
