SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrate HUI
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 heath. Where
ever 1t 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-
edly 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,
parlors and bedrooms, too, be flooded
with sunlight as much as possible.
