THERE'S WORK FOR
ALL IN THIS CAMPAIGN
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP.
Women Can Take a Leading Part In
This Movement For Beautiful, Sani-
tary and Safe Home Towns.

BY LOUISE KEEPER, Chairman Civic
Committee, Ohio Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Women are housekccpers. They are
apt to see more clearly the need of
municipal housekeeping than are men.
Through our clubs we have an excel
lent opportunity to lead In Clean Tn
and Paint Up" work. Here are some
pointers for women who would help
regenerate their community with a
real "Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign:
Each campaign involves the renova
ton OF the interiors of buildings as
well as yards, streets and alleys.
The removal of ali rubbish and use
less things is most important.
Some revenue can be derived from
tn, sale of waste paper.
During the Clean Up and Paint Up
campaign is good time to have rub
Dish cans placed upon street corners.
for the deposit of paper.
Nothing will do more to improve the
appearance of town than the liberal
use OF paint.
Useless and unSightly outbuildincs
should be torn down.
Business houses need attention. Rub
Dish accumulatcs In cellars, under
stairways, in storcrooms, passageways,
and in the rear of hotels and restau-
rants. Look out for RATS here.
A clean yard is not sufficient; 1t
should be pleasing to the eye. Plant
grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots
in lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and trees.
The thresholds of a town should be
made inviting TO the visitor.
This is good time to find out about
the sanitary ordinances Of the town
How about the regulations in regard
to garbage collection, the use of closed
garbage cans, manure plies, splitting
toilets, etc.? Are they adequate? Are
they enforced?. Appoint a committee
on this subject. Have the ordinance
published and distributed widely.
1t is very important that the Clean
Up and Paint Up" idea he impressed
upon the minds of school children.

CLEAN COMMUNITIES HEALTHY

Filth in itself cannot generate dis.
ease, but in the long run, barring I'M
usual exceptions, low death rates and
long life always come with records of
clean communities.
The Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign is, after all, housekeeping job,
and for that reason every housekeep.
er should cooperate with the town Of
heials In making the town spotless.
Nothing pleases one more than TO have

done. Have harmony reign and all
work together and you will be sur
prised at the result. Now, let us all

1t is not surprising that houses
which are for rent should be
without tenants, because in most
cases such houses are Imprinted,
the steps are rickety and the
porches not in repair.
The number of vacant houses
In any city is largely due to the
negligence of the landlord him
self. / recently took two ladies'
out, trying to find for them II de-
sirable six or seven room house
to rent. was unable to find
anything to suit them, either on
my own list or on the lists of
other real estate firms, and
these ladies were not. exacting
in their wants. They were shown
a few houses of the desired
size, but the houses were not IN
good condition. 1t is true that
some of the landlords say they
are willing to make certain re-
pairs for good tenant, but it
has been my experience after
years in the business, that 1t is
best to put your house In attrac-
tive shape first and you will
quickly get a tenant.
Houses that are kept re-
paired and painted not only rent
better, but they greatly improve
the looks of the city.
