Click the date (red bar) on the date you want to restore from and select the file you want to restore. It's much much easier if you have the location of the file in Finder before entering Time Machine, then open Time Machine, navigate to the time you want to restore from, select the file and then click Restore. Here is the link to Apple's instructions:

Use Time Machine to restore deleted files or older files
