On the Spur
of the Moment
By ROY X. MOULTON.

Clean Up.
There's no time like today
To throw the cans away
And haul the ashes from the lot
And polish up the home you've got.
You'll find that it will pay.
Get up at early dawn
And get the weeds all drawn,
And from the alley to the street
Clean up your place and make it neat,
And manicure the lawn.
The microbes all grow lean
In places that are clean.
They cannot thrive when you have done
Your duty. They will cut and run
And never more be seen.
',C1ean up" for that's the cry.
Allow no refuse nigh.
So get the rakes and brooms all down
And chase the germs all out of town.
You'll do it, if you try.
