with his family soon after April lst. He
will engage in the lumber business in that
thriving village. Van knows we are all
sorry to have him and his estimable fam

a most bright and prosperous future.
Look out for pure air. Let the air
and sunlight reach every corner possible
of your homes, and let cleanliness be the
! first essential. A vase of withcred flow
| ers it IS said will poison the air of whole
room, and rotten onion, or decayed
head of cabbage in the cellar, is a pre-
MUM on disease. Let no cause for inn
pure air exist. Let the fresh air enter the
home freely, and you let in life, and if
life is suut out sickness and death enter.
Our daily habits and customs mean life or
DEATH
