to add to tho worlds stock Of health and happi-
ness By few simple words Of advice.
F1rst-The head Of the family should observe
whether the street. on which is located the house
Or rooma be contemplates renting il paved,
lighted. and contains water and sewer; also
whether the adjacent buildings are of wood or
bzicK, and observe too their exterior appearance,
for man may be- judged quite as accurately by
his neiehborhood as By his clothier or company.
II possible, secure brick house, or one in ths
vicinity Of houses Of this material, On account OF
the increased safety from fire.
Second-1n regard to the building: avoid a.
far as possible old wooden tenements, as much
on account Of their unnesithfulness Is from til .
demoralziug elements which always cluster
around them; but seek instead = house occupied

Also examine the bathroom and water-closets
