mrnt The importance of admitting the

Indeed, perfect health is nearly as much
dependent on pure sunlight as il is on pure
air. Sunlight should never be excluded

portance in preserving II healthful condl-
ton of the body than is generally under

is misfortune, for people are deluded
with the idea that those things only can be
good or useful which cost money. But
remember that pure water. fresh air and
sunlit homes. kept free from dampness,
will secure you from many heavy bills OF
the doctors, and give you health and vigor,
which no money can procure IL is well
established fact that people who live much
in the sun are usually stronger and more

deprive them of sunlight. And certainly
there is nothing strange in the result,
since the same law applies with equal
force to nearly every animate thing in
