TIME TO CLEAN UP HERE
Let Us Win the "SpotIess Town"
Title for Ourselves.
Officials, Business Men, Women and
Others Will Work to Make Place
inviting and Healthful.

Our town ought to have, cleaning
such as has never been known here
before. The alleys, the lots, the build
ings, the homes, in fact, all parts of
the place should undergo general reno
walton. When it is all over we should
be able to give it the title Of "Spotless
Town" Let US get together and start
something.
The housewife should get to her
spring housekeeping. Mr.. Hubby
should be beating the carpets. It's the
time to Clean UP and Paint Up.
In other communities North, South,
East and West, the Clean Up and
Paint Up period has always been big
success. For that reason under the
present activity and growth, our town
should be able to show results that
will compare favorably with other
communities. The business men will
show an interest in the movement
and will lend support in any way pos
sible to aid in the cleaning up. They
think the Clean Up and Paint Up
movement is mighty good one, not
only to advertise, but to make the
town attractive for the visitor.
A woman in Bay City, Mich, where
the Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
was a big event last year, became dis

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind certain amount Of incombus-
tible material in the form of ashes, so
the food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal GER
tain amount of indigestible material,
which if not completely eliminated
each day, becomes food for the mill
lions of bacteria which infest the bow
els. From this mass of leftover waste
material, toxins and ptomaine-like poi
sons, called uric acid, is formed and
then sucked into the blood where it
continues to circulate, collecting grain
by grain in the joints of the body
much like rust collects on the hinge
as shown above.
Men and women who suffer from
lumbago, rheumatism or sore, stiff,
aching joints should begin drinking
phosphated hot water, not as a means
to magic relief from pain, but to pre-
vent more uric acid forming in the
system. Before eating breakfast each
morning, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate In it. This will first neu-

gently all week cleaning her own
premises while her next-door neighbor
refused to touch even a weed. To-
ward the end of the campaign this
woman saw her next-door neighbor
go downtown, leaving the cluttered-up
premises behind.
Taking three other neighbors with
her, the woman went next door and
cleaned up" Even the weeds were
dug out of the grass before the resi-
dent returned from downtown. And
when she did, there was neighbor-
hood row. Mrs Next-door declared
the others had no right to clean up
her premises. But in the end, the
street and the neighborhood was bet

Only one example, yet this little ex-
ample was heralded in many weekly
magazines and some of the big news
papers, giving Bay City more publicity
in one day than might have been
earned otherwise in twenty years.
The civic league, the Federation
of Woman's Clubs, the Boy Scouts, the
board of health, the city council and
many other civic and official organiza-
tions stand behind the movement in
practically every city and town in the

We are a nation Of meat eaters and

The kidneys do their utmost to free

In connection with the Clean Up

that we take steps to remedy the un-
sightliness of weed grown vacant lots

why it cannot be done.

LET'S Be NEIGHBORLY
SpotIess Town Means Happier
and Healthier People.
We Should "cIean Up and Paint Up
This Community at Once to
Protect Our Families.

MEIGHBORHOOD improvement is
y home improvement multiplied. It
Is the sum of all the efforts made to
make houses look attractive and beau
tiful.
Neighborhood improvement illus
trates the influence of good deed
we'll done. On dingy street one
householder starts to improve the ap-
pearance of his home. He keeps yard
and house spick and span. He paints
his house, fences and outbuildings. He
plants grass, flowers and shrubbery.
provement. They begin, to clean up,
paint UP and green up. Within few
months the street is transformed.
1t not only looks better, bat it is
better People are happier and more
neighboriy. Property values have in
creased. Neighborhood improvement
has worked a before and after"
change that is really wonderful.
One of the modern poets has been
inspired by neighborhood improve
ment work in his own town to ex-
press himself in the following Ian
guage:
Little beds Of flowers.
Little cans of paint,
Make attractive neighborhoods
Out of those that amt.
In many villages, towns and cities
Clean Up and Paint Up effort has be-
come popular in recent years The i'm
mediate results have been a marked
improvement in the appearance of the
places in which they have been at
tempted.
In certain western town one of the
residence streets with row of about
fifteen houses was the shame of all
the public-spirited citizens. Houses
were greatly in need of repairs and
paint. They looked bad and they kept
looking worse every year. Finally one
of the good citizens got an idea. He
went to the owner OF the house in the
middle of the block.
"I want to make you proposition"
he said "If you will permit me will
give you, without cost, all the paint
necessary to paint your house if you
will do the work"
The owner accepted the proposition
and later the paint was delivered. The
philanthropist exacted the promise
that the owner would not tell any of
his neighbors that the paint was
gift.
In the course of time the house was
painted and the effect was marvellous
to behold. Like a new house it stood
among its dingy neighbors as conspi-
cuous as fairy in minstrel show.
The owners of the other houses no
ticed the contrast. They saw how
miserably poor the newly painted
house made theirs look. One after
the other they went to the stores and
ordered paint During that season ev-
cry one of the fifteen houses was
painted and the premises cleaned and
the street became one Of the best look
ing in town.
That is what was accomplished
when one man started to improve his
home. If whole neighborhoods, street
by street, should start to improve in
our town what tremendous difference
it would make in the appearance of
this community. Let's get together
and try it

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

It is no new experience for settlers
located in fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest a crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt-
eddy this was the experience of many
farmers during 1915, but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $4,000 an acre, with terms spread
over period Of years. He got the
land into a good state Of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price of it; in short
a single years crop paid the cost OF
the land, paid all the expenses of op-
Grafton and left him handsome sur
plus as profit This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him a good living irrespective Of
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is ex-
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures Of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth of
goods more than she exported. The
balance of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
ly disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end Of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:
Exports. Imports.
1912 $500. .$145,7 $50 $412 ,657 ,022
1913 ........ 179,O50,796 1884, $40
1914 ....... 213,493, 406 421 ,O74,52S
1915 ........ 314,11S,774 1860, 1924
Four years ago, in 1912, the balance
of trade in favor Of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and sixty-seven millions, and this
year, the balance is reduced to only
thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada. It
looks as if for the first time in nearly
half century this year Canada will
sell more to the United States than
she will buy from the Americans

tons os satisfactory. Our banking sit
uation is very strong, the comptroller
having announced that the resources of
the national banks of the country are
the largest in history. The eountry's
gold supplies have been enormously in
creased by importation, and the COM
bind holdings of the reserve banks are
now placed at $500, 100000. These facts
immensely strengthened the credit situa
ton, feature which of course has an
important bearing upon the mainten-
ance of trade activity.
In the midst of our general prosperity
it is advisable not to overlook the ulti-
mate effect of the prevailing hostility
to capital at home. This hostility is
manifested in every possible direction,
and has been intensified rather than
moderated by present business cOndi-
tions. The responsibility for initiation
in values and the consequent rise in the
cost of living is in some quarters fool
ishly attributed to capital. Railroads,
are still objects of hatred by a largS
class of ignorant public leaders. Cor
porations generally are being subjected
to all sorts of hostile legislation and in
creased taxation in every direction. The
steady rise in taxation is portentous,
and though accepted with little protest
while prosperity lasts, will prove a Sc
rious burden when reaction comes and
uncound conditions develop. 1t is time
to call halt, both on behalf of JUS
tice and intelligent self-interest. This
hostility to capital is unreasoning, un-
sound and more injurioush to those who
indulge in such prejudice than to any
one else. If continued it will drive
capital from the country in large
amounts and check developments in
home resources, discouraging national
industry and tend to diminish the re-
wards and opportunities for labor. The
long-continued preference of shrewd in
vestors for bonds and short term OBJ
legations over railroad stocks, the grow
ing demand for public utilities, the
large purchases of foreign bonds and
the increasing interest in foreign in
vestments have all been visibly slim
ulated by this almost childish opposi-
ton to capital and to domestic enter
prise on large scale. This opposition.
born originally of corporation miscon-
duct and kept alive by prejudice and
misguided public opinion, still continues
and had much to do with fomenting re-
cent labor troubles. Intelligent labor
leaders must recognize the ultimate con-
sequences of such policy. Labor has
recently lost considerable public sym
pathy through bad leadership, and some
of its latest successes are likely to prove
boomerang. Big corporations long ago
reused public prejudice by abuse of
power and have paid the penalty. Now
labor is doing likewise, and gravely in
juring its own cause. The public is 90
ing to insist that capital and labor alike
shall show proper regard for public in
terests, which is supreme

U. of o. Off Tonight.

Eugene, Ore, Oct. 1S.-With the Ore
gon university football team all set to
start south tonight for the game with
California at Berkeley next saturday,
the usual crop of boogeyman stories CON
eerning the "Bears' was peddled
around the campus today.
1t was reported that California had
couple of aces up her sleeves, that the
team went easy on Whittier last week
and didn't beat the Quakers until the
last period just for fun and that sew
eral members of the Oregon squad were
all shot TO pieces after their hard game
with Multnomah and would hardly be
able to play.
Coach Bezdek added George Cooke, of
Portland, to his string of meat eaters
today, so 10 players, a coach, two train
ers and three official rooters will make
the trip. The three official rooters are
lucky students who won first class rail
road tickets in a rattle. Scores of 9th
er students, however, are already on
their way to Berkeley. They went to
Portland last night to take steerage
passage in one of the coast liners. If
1920 can be raised, the university band
will be sent.

The practice was secret, with alert

enclosure. Special attention was given
to the punting of "1uffy" Conn, who
is expected to be the Aggies mainstay
at the aerial game.
Pipal will send against Nebraska
practically the same bunch that wallop-
ed Washington State last week. The
Nebraskans arrive in Portland on their
