SPRING CLEANING.

The time for spring cleaning is at
hand. During the winter months,
dirt and rubbish Of every kind accu-
mulates in back yards and alleys so
that there are few premises but need
a thorough cleaning up,
Dirt makes for disease; cleanliness
for health. Nothing adds more to the
beauty and attractiveness of a neigh
borhood than clean, tidy, well-keptI
yards and lawns. 1t is a good plan
to have grass plots and flowers in
the front and both flowers and gar
dens in the back yards. You win be
surprised at the quantity of vegeta-
bles that can be grown in a bed only
few feet square.
Then there is the health side Of
doing work Of this kind for the rea-
son that It is outdoor exercise. There
is pleasure, too. in cultiyating flowers
or in tending a small garden; and If
your 10 Is big enough to have both.
you viii have double pleasure and
profit in the work
Another suggestion along the lines
Of clearing up is this: II you are
intending to move this spring, don't
move into a dirty house. Insist that
before you take possession, it be
thoroughly cleaned. In addition to
calcimining, as most landlords are
willing to do, the woodwork should
be washed and the floors thoroughly
scrubbed with boiling hot water and
soap. This, with a thorough airing,
out, win make the house safe.
