THE EDITOft TALKSI agents. Suni roomai are invaluable ýwhen used as they should be. People seemi to have forgotten the heaflthful- nesýs of the suni's ,ays. Why is there mnore sickness in winter? One au- thority dlaimns that it 's owing to the quantity and quality of the sun Ilit that reaches us. When. the sunllight cones slantingly thru m-iles of fog- gy, dusty air mnost of the visible raye and those beyond the violet are fil- tered out and those are the sunrays that kill baecria. "Let the blessed sunshine in" is a w7atcjvwa'rd parti- cularly for -winter and holds good in every other, season. Do not dark- en windows fearing the sunlight will fade the cýarpets and save temat the expense of the health of the bousehoid. Let the sunshine in rather than lose the bloonm on the cheeks of the chilîdren. A popular song long ago was "The tfarmier's if e is the life for me" and should aili be popular if conditions were made favorable and satisfac- tory. Can soinie of the old mene- plain the difference in, farmning 50 to 75 years ago and now, or why farmers have sudh difficulty in keep- ing- their sons on the farmi of late years. One of tlie greatest bulwarks of a nation it lias been said is a free and inciependent casas of men who 'ive on the soil and cultivate their ownifields. We know of no more in- dependent life than that of the well- to-do farnmer's. We used to think, if we had a faim of our very own in a good comnmunity an~d comnfortable, modern home that ours would bLe of aIl callings the happiest. Were we mistaken tIen? If not what is the matter witli that farmi and that con- dition to-day? Has not Canada grown better settled, prospered an.d gained stability largely because of the strengtli and sturdmness of hem agri- cultural population? In the past the geneal condition of the farmer was satisfactory. The Canadian Statesman is $2.00 a year -and worth it.
