Tropict Not for Whites
The while man can live In the

made a study of the question for
the Smithsonian Institution, hut lie

Concerning Truth
According to the very laws of our
being, the refusal to perceive trulh
and to act upon It, destroys our

who, seeing the truth refuses to act
In accordance therewith, thereby
loses his power to perceive It.

Plants Not Harmful
The old theory that the keeping
of plants In bedrooms Is harmful
to sleeping humun beings has no
foundation In fact, since plants give
off oxygen and take In carbon diox
ide the exact opposite process to
that which takes place during the
respiration of animals. Therefore,
If plants nre not so numerous as to
cause heaviness In the air with their
odor, they would be beneficial rath
er than otherwise In a bedroom.
