MAKE USE OF
THE SUNLIGHT

So essential is sunlight to clean
liness and good health that the
State Board of Health says open
up and let the sunshine in.
Houses that have been closed this
summer or that have not had
daily airings, especially as to the
furnishing and clothing, need
the cleansing effect of sunshine
and fresh air. All household
furnishings should be exposed to
direct sunlight for "a number of
hours at least every few days.
Direct sunlight is the best disin-
fectant known. 1t kills germs
in a few hours. Diffused sun
light or daylight may have as
good effect, but in a much longer
time.
Shutting the sunlight out of
the house is an unhygienic GUS
tom. 1t should go as has gone
many of the ideas and customs
belonging to the dark ages.
Germs live and thrive in dark
ness. For that reason sunshine
should find its way into the home
daily and its presence should
be welcomed as a messenger of
cleanliness and good health. The
drawing of shades and the clos
ing of windows to keep the car
pets and draperies from fading
should be discouraged. 1t is bet
ter to have carpets and draperies
that are faded than to have boys
and girls with cheeks that are
faded. Roses in the cheeks are
more valuable than roses in the
carpet.

PREVENT GNAWING OF TREES
Simple Way to Keep Mice From Doing
Injury Is to Make Earth Bank
Of Few Inches

The simplest way to stop mice from
gnawing young fruit trees Is TO bank
them well with earth six to ten inches
high in the autumn, then tramp the
first snow hard around them so that
the mice cannot easily reach the tree
trunk. Wrapping the trunk with heavy
paper or tying around 1t lath, pieces
of shlngle or veneer Is effective. Many
orchardists use wire guards, which are
made of heavy galvanized wire with
four or five meshes to the inch. These
will last for several years.
