a*** <
SINCE Hercules diverted the rtTer
to renovate the Augean stables
"Clean Up" has bad its place In
the world's vernacular. 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,

?
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.

children and Real Estate Exchange,

Flower Boxes?In congested districts,
downtown and opposite Union Station.
Unsightly Advertising?Posters on
buildings, "For Rent" signs, ordinances.
Appearances of Buildings ? Vacant
buildings, painting, lighting of prominent
corners.
Street Drinking Fountains?O^ieral
and on downtown corners.
Smoke Abatement.
Publicity?Billboards, posters, street
cars, circulars for children, buttons,
newspapers, moving pictures.
epeuKers?un general subject, also on
special phases of campaign.
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

| 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? If you can't have a sleeping
porch, you can certainly
