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<

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

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

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.
