can be made powerful factor in cleaning
up town-and in keeping it clean after
ward.
Paterson, New Jersey, gave its boys
and girls flower seeds as reward for
their weeks work in the campaign; and
as result every back yard and ash-heap
blossomed throughout the summer.
Another city, having solicited the aid
of its boys in cleaning up large unsightly
lot. presented the lot to the boys for
ball-park, together with masks, clubs,
and balls.
Still another city started tin can
crusade among the children of the sixth
and seventh grades, the girls competing
against the boys; and, with two days of
the contest still to run, they had collected
$1,000 tin cans.
Judge Albert Besson Of Chelsea, Massa-
chusetts, found distinctly novel use for
delinquent boys Six of them were
brought before him for breaking into
freight-car and for stealing candy. IN
stead of sending them to the work-house,
he sentenced them to keep one of the
citys streets clean for six months. That
particular street is the longest in the city
and the boys made it the cleanest.

Second, lower fire insurance premiums.
In Philadelphia in 1914 the fire loss from
the accumulation of rubbish and combust-
ible materials was more than $500, 600.
Cincinnati reduced it's annual fire loss
more than $500, 900 by its Cleanup Cam

5 to per cent. on the insurance rates in

Third-better health. Industrial tu-

than are killed in mine fires and boiler

in. Industrial tuberculosis comes chiefly

pectation that it will cover so many @vis-
it's in sickness. No. The doctors are
paid to keep their patients we'll every day.
If they fail-if the patient falls sick-the
doctor is held responsible, and his pay is
reduced according to the number of Wis
it's he has been compelled to make.
In something like 5000 cities and towns
in the United States the people have be-
come almost as wise as the Chinese.
They have made up their minds that it is
better to spend one week year, and a
little money, in Kidding their commune
ties of the dirt and refuse that breeds dis
ease, than it is to pay doctors to Danish
the disease after it has secured grip on
their bodies. Needless to say, the doc
tors, in spite of the fact that Cleanup
Movement means less business for them,
are the strongest workers for and in it.
The way to start the campaign is, first
of all, to go to the Mayor and get him to
appoint Cleanup Committee. If the
Mayor is the right sort of leader his in
fuence and enthusiasm will be a powerful
factor. In one Middle Western city, dur
ing Cleanup Week, every citizen who
called the Mayors Office on the telephone
was informed that his honor was "out
shoveling."
