YOU KNOW WE ARE 
I N-DOORS twice as much as we ought to be, and out-of-doors far to« 
little. Now this is all wrong. We were born into the world, not into a 
house. Oui-ot-doors means sun, air, light, nature, all creative life. 
What call we do about it? The first thing i 
to do is to bring Nature in-doors. Start a little garden in the 
house. But the plants begin to weaken ; the flowers don’t come. 
That means more pure air and sunlight needed in the house for 
both you and the plants. You can’t live there if they won’t live. 
Pull up the shades and let the sunlight stream in. Put the plants 
in the window. Your neighbors and the passers-by will enjoy the 
k sight of them. They are interesting. They are alive. Nature 
lives under your roof. They are ornamental. They bring you 
health. They consume the impure air as it comes from your 
lungs. What helps them strengthens you. 
' Now, WHY don't you have them ? For 
the sole reason that you don’t understand the selection, con- 
l struction or management of a window garden. Fortunateh 
«L there has been a book written that tells about it. It is entitled 
A " Window Gardening," and is full of illustrations; over y 
^ pages ; and price only one dollar and a half. It w ill make you * 
want to start a window garden to-morrow. It will show you 
k just how to do it, so that it will cost you almost nothing, and X
