FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
SUNSHINE.

The sunshine is Gods great
agency for health. Disease germs
live and LUX in darkness and
filth. Sunlight and air destroy
them as surely as do the most eff
fective germicides made by man.
For 70 years "heaIth register"
has been kept in every house In
Paris. A study of these records
shows that overcrowding and in
sanitary conditions do not favor
the spread of consumption as
much as does the absence of sun
shine. Old, dirty, and even dilapi-
dated houses with plenty of SUM-
shine showed fewer cases of tu-
bercuIosis than some of the new
and costly apartment houses with
narrow courts and containing
rooms from which both sunshine
and air were almost excluded and
where there were many servants.
Many of these expensive houses
were found to be veritabIe breed
ing places for consumption.
If the sun is shining throw up
the shades, part the window cur
tains, and give its health promot-
ing rays a chance to flood every
accessible corner of the room.

Palestine people are in earnest.
They desire direct rail connection
with Dallas without delay. The Her
aid says;
Mayor Hearne and President Or
ment of the Board of Trade, who went
to Dallas to interview the business
people there and enlist them in favor
of an extension of the state road,
found them already in line and
anxious to see such work carried
out Palestine would like to see the
road extended and hopes it will take
its course toward Dallas. A fine sec
ton of country is in that direction
and it would mean a very valuable
territory to a new road"
An extension of the state road
would give Palestine direct connec.
ton with the leading city of Texas
and the Southwest. The late Barnett
Gibbs, big-brained and big-hearted and
patriotic, was the apostle of the state
road idea From Panhandle to Gulf
and from the Red river to the Rio
Grande''' was his slogan. Now demo
cratic leaders in the city OF Austin
are pushing the Gibbs idea.-Dallas
