DISEASE ON THE DECREASE
tion of Tuberculosis Has Good Reason to Be Proud.

While the latest report of the bu- reau of census shows that in 1914 tuberculosis caused over 10.5 per cent of all deaths in the registration area of the United States, the National As- sociation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis points out in state ment that the death rate from this disease is steadily decreasing. having declined from 2OO.7 per 100. 900 popula- ton in 1904 to 146S in 1914. This would indicate, the association claims. that the antituberculosis movement or ganized in the last ten years is hav- ing a marked effect on the mortality of tuberculosis, especially since the death rate from this disease seems to be declining more rapidly than the general death rate from all causes.
 Commenting on this decrease in the rate from tuberculosis, the bureau of the census says: As a result of a more general understanding of the laws of health, the importance of fresh air. etc. due in part. no doubt, to the efforts of the various societies for the prevention Of tuberculosis, there has been most marked and gratifying decrease during recent years in the mortality from this scourge of civili- zation. In only decade-from 1904 to 1914-the death rate from tubercu- losis in all it's forms fell from 2007 to 146.s per 100000. the decline being continuous from year to year. This Is drop of more than 25 per cent"

 States. counties. communities. churches. schools or farmers clubs may proclaim farm clean up days, but best of all each individual farmer may have his own.
 Don't Neglect to Paint.
 It is apparent to even the casual observer that many property owners let their rented houses, or houses for rent. go too long without painting. This neglect makes the houses look unsightly but also hastens the day of decay. A little paint is a good invest. ment from every viewpoint. It pre- serves the wood and 1t keeps the houses rented The writer visited an Illinois town last spring and after . careful observation found not a single house which was not well and fairly recently painted. There had just been a clean up and paint up campaign. The impression left was one of a thriving town where a man would like to live and bring up a family. The yards were well kept. with lawns. flower beds and shrubbery. and each householder seemed to vie with ms neighbor in making his place look at- tractive.

 The hit or miss" methods of measure ments are the cause of poor results Cooks as we'll as other workmen should have good tools to work with if they expect to realize success. There are standard spoons and meas. uring cups on the market that are full measure, and there are those which lack from one to two table spoonfuls in a cup. Be sure that those you buy are full half pint cups and spoons the standard size. Sixteen tablespoonfuls of material will be found in the standard measuring cup, sixty drops are in a teaspoon and three teaspoonfuls fill a standard ta- blespoon.

 O homes and towns beauti- sul since Allen w Clark. St. Louis publisher. organized ;he National Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign bureau in May. 1912. MT. Clark. for many years identified with the Ameri- can paint trade, sought to arouse and organize into a single national move ment the clean up" spirit which stirs each spring in every normal man and woman and nearly every thriving com munity.
 The first year something like 1000 towns and cities conducted local clean up and paint up campaigns based on plans suggested by the national bu- reau This number has increased each year until in 1915 approximately 5000 local campaigns were organized. Each of these took the form of a real civic movement
 Where Everybody Helps.
 City and town officials. woman's club leaders. boards of trade. health .of,icials, fire insurance and fire pre- yention leaders, school children. boy scouts and the local paint men all CO operated in the interests of a more beautiful. more sanitary and more homelike home town. Individual prop erty values were increased. loss through disease and fire waste was lessened. and the importance of clean Illness. thrift and civic pride in any movement for homes and towns beau tiful was convincingly pointed out ev- erywhere-
