stated that it has become almost a:

NEXT TO GOODNESS

Next week is cleanup week for the
Nation. Not only do housewives have
to observe a certain definite period
for cleaning and renovating the house
but so does a nation need cleaning up
and rejuvenatig.
Our principal topics of conversation
for the last two months have been the
League of Nations, the end of the
war, the prohibition movement and
woman suffrage, worthy causes in
deed; but let us store these in the
backs of our heads for just one week
at least and make cleaning up the ma
jor topic of discussion so that, more
people will realize its importance and
take an active part in the work.
In Columbia and towns still small
er we talk of the deplorable condi-
tions in the slums of New York and
Chicago and overlook some unsanitary
and unsightly conditions here at home.
II II is true that charity begins at
home then why not have cleanliness
begin at home as we'll?
