seal campaign is Taking Place of Old Time "Clean Up' "ANNUAL BATH" FOR TOWNS TABOOED. Five Tboueand Communltlem Wil Thim Yaw Join "Clean Up and Paint Up" Movement. MORE than 5,000 cities and towni will this year partlolffcte Is "opening weeks" In the National Clear Up and Paint Up" campaign, accord lag to Allen W. Clark, chairman of the National "Clean Up and Paint Up* Campalg-j Bureau, St Louis. Many ol these committees, Clark declares, are thus breaking away from the old established "clean up" or "annual bath" Idea and are striving to make their Improvement programs contlnu one performances. ' Files In the bureau's offices, whlcli Indicate that the organisation has Is reality become a national olearlnj house for the dissemination of com munlty betterment Ideas, show thai Ifst year more than 2,000 citleB and towns made an effort to "clean up aiid paint up." 'This year," commented Chairman Clark, "it looks as tnougn we would co-operate with more than 1,000 communities. In each of which tome lire civic leader Is trying to lm prove living conditions. Though \ a majority of these campaigns will atari with an 'opening week,' a definite Program of activity, we know that the bureau's success has been chiefly due to the fact that ite try to get away from the old-fashioned 'annual clean up* Idea that has become odious tc many dvie leaders and an annual jc^ke tn many cities. The plans of the bureau call for continuous campaigns that bring permanent results and help form worth while civic habits." The Work to Be Done. . The work of the bureau this year li more comprehensive than ever before. Everything that will beautify, preserve, improve sanitation, reduce fire rtsks, and better health conditions has been carefully provided for. Among the things which local "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaigners are doing this year are: Cleaning the streets and alleys, front yards, back yards, cellars, ft&bles, attlcks; the removal of ashis and rubbish; cleaning up vacant lots of rubbish and weeds; eliminating breeding places of flies and mosqulfew;, .planting and care of treeB, wages'ua wwifi'1 ma tua liberal nse of paint on everything that needs It i It Is this constructive, permanent nature of the improvements effected that has won the endorsement of national leaders in every branch of eltlc uplift work. Among those serving this year on the National Bureaus advisory committee are: > Mrs. Clarence Baxter, Klrksvllle, Mo., chairman of the Women's Committee of the National Bureau, Is also vice chairman of the civics department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and chairman of the civic and health department of the Missouri Federation of Women's Clubs. Da 8. J. Crumblne, Topeka, Kan., president of the Association of State and Province Health Officers of North America. H. 8. Buttenheim, New York, editor of "The American City." Clinton R. Woodruff, Philadelphia, secretary National Municipal League and editor of the "National Municipal Review." Mrs. Philip North Moore, St. Louis, ex-president National Federation of Women's Clubs. William Woodhead, San Francisco, president Of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. P. S. Ridsdale, Washington, D. C., executive secretary American ForeB*try Association. Richard B. Watrous, Washingten, D. C., secretary American Civic . Association. Mrs. Geo. Zimmerman, Fremont, O., chairman of the civice department. General Federation ol Women's Clubs. Paint and Self-Respect. The one most important factor' iu spreading the gospel of cleanliness thrift and civic pride, which the Bureau is trying to do, is the wort of newspaper editors throughout the country, asserts Chairman Clark. Foi instance, here is what Paul Brown editor of The St Louis Republic, ba? to say of the movement: - "Thousands of American cities ant towns have taken up the Natlona /Clean Up and Paint Up' campaigi that originated in fit. Louis three sea sons ago. It has been indorsed bj thousands of civic, commercial anc women's organisations all over th< nation. The cities that have mnd< themselves a part or me movemeu re cleaner and better cities becaue< of it. The Republic aided in launch lng the Initial campaign and is glac to know that the Federation o Women's Clubs is planning a genera St. Louis campaign for this spring This will aid in making 'St. Louis th< Healthiest City,' for paint is the grea preservative and a powerful aid ii sanitation. Add to beauty and eeonomj the fact that paint has a sanitar: value, ap<f the arguments apply wltl added force to the big cities. Nat urally the paint dealer profits by sucl campaigns. None but the pessimis will object to this. He gives valu< received and more. The house tba is pajnted is the better for It. I neighborhood that has cleaned up an< painted up is a better one in whlcl tfl live. Paint makes for self-respec ? . _ and Justifiable pride." In tbo office of the National "Clear Up and Paint Up" Campaign Bureau hangs a room-siae wall map, wit* ' every state dotted by red itars da noting cities conducting eampaigni last year. And so it Is true that oivl< 5 leaders In thousands pf towns an working to "get their tows on thi map" this yew. YDUR attention it re* pectfully called to an important point not generally known, that a laxative should have a tome element to successfully meet constipation. Mr. John B. Capers, of 610 Pecan i St., Fort Worth, Texas, had a slg '* 1 1? *VI? _ 4iiuuttiu experience ui uiio ucuiai. He was afflicted with a severe case of ' constipation and bowel trouble. He 1 spent a good deal of money In trying to find a remedy. To his astonishment Peruna very quickly relieved t him of his bad * symptoms. ^ , This happened a \ number of years ago. Since then, W Mr. Capers states ij that he has had Hp; f similar attacks of | trouble, the promtnent symptom of aflPK' which is constipation, and has al1 ways found ' .M. prompt' and effl1 clent relief from J1 Peruna. He says: i "Up to the time I i started using your JL , Peruna I could m /M , drink castor * like water. It did^^^^^ no good. As for 1 salts, they were of no use. Physics of 1 all kinds and classes 'were used, but I we had to call on the fountain syringe i for help." Peruna was able to cori rect this condition completely in Mr. Capers' case, and there is every reason to believe that it was the tonic qualities of Peruna, added to the laxative qualities, that procured this very desirable result Clean Dp and Paint Dp? Get Behind the Brush SPRINGTIME has at last come to stay, to prepare all nature for summer's flowers and the autumn's uai?oou Even the abject stir about their wretched praqdses, plant, jnorping. up the leaning pickets left from the kindling needs of the later frosty mornings. Good housewives tie towels about their heads, gird up their narrow skirts and chase the dust of winter from their rooms. The laziest pick and trifle with their belongings to flx themselves better to face the changing seasons. "Clean up!" is the phrase. Why not enlarge it? Why not "paint i u??" And if "paint up," why not do it so it will LAST and PAY? Painting is another "art preservative." Rightly done, it saves repair, adds to length of property-life, increases property-attractivity, brings to the tenant's lips the pleased smile, to the righteous landlord the wholesome feeling of duty well performed. Between ourselves, there's room for lots on lots of paint here in Ourtown. Well applied, in colpre judiciously selected, it would conceal a multitude of architectural and sanitary sins from the discerning eyes or tourists passing this way and from oun selves. Look over your OWN house, or home, or business structure. Don't "YOU agree?
