With Spring the desire to refurbish comes subconsciously into the hearts of men and women, and communities. But without direction and sustained effort the expression of that desire, in the form of the ordinary "Clean Up Duy" or "Week," Is apt to result in u superficial sully aguinst filth. Years ago Allen W. Clark, a St. Louis editor, made up his mind that this natural "Clean Up" Instinct could be turned to account, that it could be developed into a real campaign working toward definite ideals and accomplishing permanent results. And so, in May, 1012, Mr. Clark founded the National "Clean Up and Paint Up" Campaign Bureau, with headquarters in St. Louis. He hoped that a thorough-going movement, national in its scope and practical In its principles, might take the place of the "annual bath" Idea as expressed In the old-time "clean up day" or "week." A National Civic Movement. For four years the scope of the National Bureau's service has rapidly extended until this year it is co-operating with more thau 0,000 local communities In the organization and direction or real *uiean i p ana I'aint Up" campaigns, not "days," or "weeks." Continuous campaigns for homes and hometowns beautiful, sanitary- and safe, conducted by permanent committees, and Involving the co-operation of city and town officials, club women, commercial organizations, the children, fire prevention interests, all business inen and property owners, is the goal aimed at by all of the National Bureau's propngauda. Mr. Clark declares that the bane of any community Is the citizen who lacks even a semblance of interest in the community, and that, strange as It may aeem in a democracy, absence of this interest seems to be pretty generally prevalent in the overage American community. Such a citizen would hnvo "The Town" or "The City," whatever those names may signify when the body of citizen# Is eliminated, keep the streets and alleys clean, preserve the public and individual health, eliminate nuisances, make everything in town spick and span und satisfactory ?while the citizen sits back smd looks on. The real "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign, organized on the plans of the National Bureau, gives everyone something definite to do to help make their hometown beautiful, sanitary and safe. And the campaign's educational Influence should work steadily the year 'round and year after year, automatically eliminating many nuisances caused formerly by carelessness or thoughtlessness of property owners and tenants. A Suggestion For Our Town. The methods for accomplishing all of WHAT PAINT WILL DO. Ask any real estate man what percentage of value 1h added to a house by a fresh coat of paint and you will be surprised at the size of the figure he will give you. Too many householders Lave the habit of putting off painting until a house fairly screams for it. Good paint applied at regular intervals, not too far apart, Is the tme economy In that it not only actually raises *?. - ? - iun vamp or tne bouse by Improved appearance, but through preservative Ingredients prevents and arrests dceay. The man who lets his house beeome an eyesore In an otherwise well kept locality should be taxed for the heavy damage he is doing to that community, pays the Real Estate Journal.

Let's 'Clean Up and Taint Up" campaign ? gh community movement. Our offl in each civic organization, and the ? le children. Up and Keep It Up" our slogan and J ? this suggested by the National Bureau are well illustrated by a brief description of the local campaign organization in St. Louis. With various adaptations this St. Louis plan has been found practicable in any city, no matter how large or small. The entire campaign is under the direction of the Continuous St. Louis "Clean Up and Taint Up" Campaign Committee, of which Charles M. Talbert, director of streets and sewers, Is chairman. On this committee are va rious civic and business leaders, Including the leading club women of the city. Each member of the general committee Is chairman of a subcommittee responsible for some definite department of the campaign's activity. The Director of Streets and Sewers is chairman of the committee on "Refuse Clean-up," the chief of the Fire Department is chairman of the committee on fire prevention and the head of the Health Department Is chairman of the committee on housing reform. A partial list of these campaign committees, with notation of some of the objects of each, follows: Committees For the Work. Street Department?Household waste, permanent plan. Improvement of districts which will be center of Interest In coming National Democratic Convention, smooth paving, signs on public buildings, rubbish boxes. Landscape Gardening ? Ordinances, campaign among property owners, yard planting campaign among children. Fire Prevention?Clean up rubbish, roofs, condemn shacks that are fire risks. Housing?Insanitary yards, privies, tenements, lodging houses, garbage receptacles.

District Organization?Report nuisances, see property owners and urge to clean up and paint up and plant trees. School Children ? Distribution of printed matter, school gardens. Police?Report nuisances, distribute directions for rubbish collections, request co-operation of residents. Tbe chairmen of these various committees should be the city or town 'officials or civic leaders who are most Interested In the work to be done by the committee. CLEAN COMMUNITIES HEALTHY Filth In itself cannot generate disease, but in tbe long run, barring unusual exceptions, low death rates and long life always come with records of clean communities. Tbe "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign Is, after all, a housekeeping Job, and for that reason every housekeeper should co-ojierate with the town officials In making the town spotless. Nothing pleases one more than to have ?. iisiiui wom n nenutinn town you live In. Why not. make your town the cleanest In America? It's easily done. Have harmony rclRn and all work together and you will be surprised at the result. Now, let ua all pull together for a Npotless town| - - ' | Sleeping Porches or Open Windows "If there's one thing that recommends a house more than another these days, whether it be for sale or rent," said a real estate dealer recently, "it is the addition of a sleeping porch. In fifteen years our ideas have been turned upside down as to this one thing. Ten years ago a man who slept out of doors or on a sleeping porch was thought to be either a health crank, or a Consumptive, and a sleeping porch was a thing to be avoideded. Now everybody is beginning to see their advantages, and I could rent more houses if they had the means of outdoor sleeping with them." The man who said these things is a city man and was speaking of city people. But we are afraid that this healthful desire for fresh air has not extended to the country where the air is free from dust and smoke, and its circulation unhampered by many buildings. The old idea that "damp night air" is injurious has been disproved long ago. The only things injurious in or about night air, as a rule, are mosquitoes, and they may be eliminated by destroying breeding places, or by screening porches, windows, etc. The hot nights of June, July and August have just begun, and how much sense is there in shutting yourself up in a virtual sweatbox every night when the cooling, invigorating, fresh air of God's out of-doors is offered you without money and without price?
