ENAVE you ever considered how
much environment has to do
Il with the gooC or bad health of
the individual or family? II
you have thought about ii at all you
know that cheerful. pleasant and suit
able surroundings in the home lend
their aid in maintaining good health.
These also assist In character building.
The influence of such things may he
unconscious to persons who have Civ
en- little or no thought to the subject,
but without doubt the influence exists
to some degree.
The choice of color the style and ar
rangcmcnt of furniture. even the pic
lures which adorn the walls. all have
their part in developing the men and
women who inhabit the home. Com
parativcly few persons have given
much thought to the study of color,
and as II result its selection for house
or furnishings has been more the re-
suit of chance or mischancc than Of
good judgment. Color gives atmos-
phcre to our homes. and rightly chosen
it brings n sense OF comfort and salts
faction with ones abode. If these are
lacking the house has failed to he Il
nome in the fullest sense of the word.
For one who has never studied color
the best advice is to choose quiet tones
and copy nature as far as possible. IF
one has II favorite color ii should sur
round one in either house furnishing
or personal adornment whenever suit
able. Why not choose. colors accord
ing to personal tastes?
We select our friends from sympa-
thy in thought and feeling. We do not
always philosophize about it or stop
to analyze why we find greater pleas
ure in the society of some people than
in others But we recognize certain
principles in our liking and know that
we are happier and enjoy our friends
better when we find those principles
and charms have place in their TEN.

Congressman who are accused of
extravaganza make the answer that
congress spends only a small fraction
of what the people ask of it. 1t is
often the highest duty of a public
man to do what he knows to be right
even if it is contrary to the wishes
of his constituents at the time. The
strong probability is that they will
applaud his act when they have given
the matter their sober second thought.
