suu,ess and sunlIt Rooms.

No article of furniture should be put
in room that will not stand sunlight,
for every room in dwelling should
have the windows so arranged that
sometime during the day flood OF
sunlight will force itself into the apart
ments. The Importance of admitting
the light of the sun freely to all parts
of dwellings cannot be too highly es-
timated. Indeed, perfect health Is
nearly as much dependent on pure sun
light as it is on pure air. Sunlight
should never be excluded except when
so bright as to be uncomfortable to the
eyes. And walks should be in bright
Sunlight, so that the eyes are protect
ed by veil or parasol when inconveni-
emily intense. A sun bath is of more
Importance in preserving q, healthful
condition Of the body than is general
ly understood.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Corn-There was
better tone to the cash market and
shorts in December and May showed
considerable uneaSineSs. Little pres
sure was evident except from holders
who were long over night, while shorts
were the leading buyers. Crop and
weather conditions are for the most
part favorable. The cash market is in
a very uncertain stage. A good many
shippers have been subjected to heavy
financial strain by the sharp decline
in cash prices and when the market
turned strong today large proportion
Of the days receipts were withheld
from the market and carried over
night. The activity of the food con-
troller and his department is being
watched with great interest, particu-
larly the fixing Of an absolute price on
wheat which is expected to have a
material bearing on the relative prices
of corn and oats.
Oats-While scattered liquidation Oc
Cured in oats seaboard interests were
good buyers. The market was very
active with many Of the local traders
who have been bearish operating on
the long side. There is no indication
of a heavy movement of oats for a
month or six weeks and, consequently
no great pressure on the market is an
| ticipated.

about In this way: Each family &C.
lects from its flock particularly fine
sheep, has it sheared and brought into
the house at the beginning Of winter.
It is washed and most carefully kept
while being fattened with selected
food. So overfed is the animal that
the owner helps it work its tired Jaws
during mastication in order to conn
plete the fattening process. When
some distinguished visitor arrives, or
some great event transpires, the sheep
Is killed. AS the Syrian people eat
only fresh-killed meat, never refrige-
rated meat, the entire animal must at

can be stored for future consumption.
