In selecting a home for children, we
should remember that health depends
very largely on surroundings and that
our early environment leaves a last
ing impression
A detached house is more favorable
than an apartment for q home be-
aus every side is free to light. air
and sunshine. Little children, like
plants. thrive in sunshine and droop
down when deprived of fresh air.
The surroundings OF the house
where children must play should be
J kept clean, free from litter or refuse.
Low swampy places should be drain
ID. The cellar of tho house should
be dry and clean.
Bright, Airy Rooms.
! In the house or apartment the
sunniest corner room should be given
up to the nursery. A porch is a most
desirable addition, especially to an
apartment house and should be con
sidered in choosing a child's home.
The baby should tax his nap on the
porch and the little child will find
it a fine play place if the mother
fixes 1t up with a sandbox and a few
interesting ~playthings.
The rooms children live in should
be well ventilated and at night the
bedroom should be kept open. The
house must be kept warm, but 65 or
68 degrees Fahrenheit is a healthier
temperature than 70 degrees. 1t is
better to pay a coal bill than a &C
tors bill, and too much sickness
comes from keeping rooms hermetI-
cally sealed in cold weather.
Nook TO Call His Own.
The furnishings In children's rooms
washable. Wooden or linoleum
floors are more easily cleaned thar
carpets. In the nursery 1t is well to
have as little furniture as possible,
and no upholstered pieces.
Every child should have a bed to
himself. and clean bedding, sufn-
GENTLY warm for cold weather. If a
child is to sleep outdoors in winter,
he needs as much clothing under
him as over him. Sleeping bags are
most convenient for outdoor sleeping,
A child's friends should be well
come in his home, and there should
be a nook or room for him to call his
own. It has beer said hat "A
mother is a baby's environment

mother to make the right sort Of
home for the child.
