Paint and Self Respect.
The one most important factor In
spreading the gospel Of cleanliness,
thrift and civic pride, which the
Bureau is trying to do, is the work
of newspaper editors throughout the
country, asserts Chairman Clark. For
instance, here is what Paul Brown,
editor of The st. Louis Republic, has
to say Of the movement:
Thousands Of American cities and
towns have taken up the National
Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
that originated in st. Louis three sea-
sons ago. It has been Endorsed by
thousands Of civic, commercial and
women's organizations all over the
nation. The cities that have made
themselves q part Of the movement
are cleaner and better cities because
Of 1t. The Republic aided in launch
ing the initial campaign and Is glad
to know that the Federation Of
Women's Clubs is planning q general
St. Louis campaign for this spring.
This will aid in making st Louis the
Healthiest City, for paint IL the great
preservative and a powerful aid in
sanitation. Add to beauty and economy
the fact that paint has a sanitary
value, and the arguments apply with
added force to the big cities. Nat
uraIly the paint dealer profits by such
campaigns. None but the pessimist
will object to this. He gives value
received and more. The house that
Is painted is the better for It A
neighborhood that has cleaned up and
painted up Is a better one in which
to live. Paint makes for self-respect
and justihable pride"
In the Office Of the National "Clean
Up and Paint Up" Campaign Bureau
hangs a room-siEe wall map, with
every state dotted BY red stars de-
noting cities conducting campaigns

ing to Allen w. Clark, chairman Of the
National "Clean Up and Paint Up
Campaign Bureau, st. Louis. Many OF
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 continu'

Files In the bureaus offices, which

Chairman Clark, 1T looks as though
we would cooperate with more than
1000 communities, in each Of which
some live civic leader is trying to i'm
prove living conditions. Though q
majority Of these campaigns will start
with an opening week. definite
program Of activity, we know that the
bureaus success has been chiefly due
to the fact that we try to set away
from the old-fashioned annual clean
up' idea that has become Odious to
many civic leaders and an annual joke
IN 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 is
more comprehensive than ever before,
Everything that will beautify, pre-
serve, improve sanitation, reduce fire
risks, 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
stables, atticks; the removal Of ashes
and rubbiFh; cleaning up vacant lots
Of rubbish and weeds; eliminating

The American voter is becom-

professional politician. He is
beginning to insist on advance
information as to just exactly
what the candidate will do in
the event of his election. Which,
to the politician, is a sad state
of affairs.

from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to ir
ritate and inflame, causing q burning,

three times during the night The
sufferer is in constant dread, the

again there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.

DYSPEPTICS! END
STOMACH MISERY,
GAS, INDIGESTION
'sPape's Diapepsin" neutralizes
acids in stomach and
starts digestion.
Stops any sourness, heartburn,
or food rising in
few moments.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue a sufferer from in
digestion, dyspepsia or Out-of-order
stomach is merely matter of how
soon you begin taking some Diapepsin.
If your stomach is lacking in diges-
tive power, why not help the stomach
to do it's work, not with drastic drugs,
but Reinforcement of digestive
agents, such as are naturally at work
in the stomach.
People with weak stcmachs should
take a little Diapepsin occasionally,
and there will be no more indigestion,
NO feeling like a lump Of lead in the
stomach, no heartburn, sour risings,
gas on stomach or belching of undi-
gesteG food, headaches, dizziness or
sick stomach, and besides, what you
eat will not ferment ard poison your
breath with nauSeouS doors. All these
symptoms resulting from a sour, out
of-order stomach and dyspepsia are
generally relieved five. minutes after
taking a little Diapersin.
Go to your druggist and get So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now,
and you will always go to the table
with a hearty appetite, and what you
eat will taste good, because your stom-
ach and intestines will he clean and
fresh, and you will know there are not
going to be any more bad nights and
miserable days for you. They freshcn
you and make you feel like life is
worth living. -Advertisemen
