WOMEN HELP TOWNS TO
CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP
They Have Done Much to Make National
Campaign for Civic Betterment
Successful Everywhere.

~HE United States Is entering up
on an era of vastly improved dv-

moral, due almost entirely to the
efforts OF women workers In the Ma

growth and development of the ma

since its inauguration" he said.
Individual women, women's clubs
and women's organiSationssof all kinds
for civic and moral improvement have
Joined forces in this great work which
reaches into practically every phase
of life. Letters have poured In by
the thousand at the bureau headQuar-
tiers from women inquiring how to
start the work in their communities.
Many of these indicated that the old
fashioned "parlor" variety of woman
civic worker was dying a sure and
natural death, and that serious-minded
women were coming to realize more
and more every day the big work that
is before them.
Women Led the Way.

CLEAN UP AND PAINT Up!

TELLOW CITIZENS Let us get together and
r. make this town of ours the most healthful and
most inviting in the State. To do this we must
organize forces, map out plans and get to
work Other cities and towns throughout the United
States finding the efforts along these lines are
bringing excellent results.
If we would have a healthful town we must clear
attics cellars stables Sheds yards Streets alleys
and vacant lots of trash dirt junk filth, garbage
rags cans, bottles and weeds We must empty toilets
cover heaps, drain barn lots fill up nrudholes
and Shiny, ill-smelling ponds, open cutters, repair
streets and burn rubbish.
Then we must use soap and scrub brushes brooms
rakes and shoyes. We must throw lime freely about
toilets and stables. Why? Because disease germs
and germ-carryng insects, especially flies and mos
quitoes breed in filth and spread typhoid and con-
sumption when they enter our living rooms alight
on our food, or bite us while sleep.
After the dirt is gone must repair our buildings
and fix our fences-and then lay on the paint
Paint everything that needs it, inside and out, for
paint is the best known preservatve and its brighten
ing influence will make the dullest town in the world
look spick and span.
OF course when we buy paint and lime we put
money into the paint-dealer's and lime-dealers
pockets But if we get sick and die the doctor, drug
gst undertaken sexton and tombstone man take our
coin. Most folks would sooner spend theirs on
paint and lime-take your choice.
Come on, now, folks. Let's call meeting, form
Clean Up and Paint Up Club composed Of men,
women and children, and get on the job The prize
is worth it-health and happiness.
