SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
man Life Is QuIckened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with its mellowing
warmth and radiance, is one of the
great essentials to good health. Where
ever it penetrates, In prudently regu-
lated moderation, it Quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness,
and may be truly regarded as one of
the best friends of man and beast.
The common practice Of providing
blinds, shutters, curtains and other
means for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, is undoubt-
eddy great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and i'll health More
window light, more sunshine, and not
less, is what we require. Let all your
apartments, kitchen, sitting rooms,
