Homes Value
 Is Enhanced
 By Flowers
Time Has Arrived to Lay Aside Seed Catalogues
 and Plant

Whats a home without flowers? Certainly not so attractive or hap py place as a home with them. The time has passed for the per uSal of seed, bulb and root cata- logues. Now is the time for planting.
 Flower boxes should be made ready. Flower gardens should be laid out. Vegetable patches should be spaded and planted. Grass plots should be sowed Shrubbery and trees should be set out without further delay.
 Lawn and flowers increase the value of a home. Nothing detracts so much from a dwelling as un- kept grounds.
 The expense is so small it is scarcely worth considering Only a little work is necessary.

LITTLE PAINT
 CAN PRODUCE
 GREAT CHANCE
Property Can Be Preserved and Beautified Without
 Much Expense

Miracles can be wrought with paint. It is wonderful what trans formations can be effected with a bucket or two of paint. Paint both bealtifies and preserves. It is not only attractive, but it is economical.
 Maybe your house needs paint ing, inside or outside. Possibly it's interior woodwork requires re- furbishing.
 Look over the porches and the stairs. Inspect fences, outbuild- ings, screens and roofs.
 Perhaps, interior walls do not need painting or kalsomining be- cause they are papered If they are papered, they may require re- papering.
 Now is the time.

INSPECTIONS
 WILL REVEAL
 NEEDED WORK
Yards, Easements, Attics, Garages May Contain
 Many Kinds ofRubbish

Here are some things that should be inspected carefully to ascertain if they need cleaning up:
 Back yards, front yards, vacant lots, basements, attics, house gut ters, porches, garages and furnaces.
 Roofs should be gone over to see if repairs are necessary All water faucets ought to be made tight, junk-papers picked up and dis posed of, and ash cans cleaned and disinfected.
 Rubbish piles should be removed by the garbage wagon or burned. Fences and porches should be re- paired.

IT HELPS BUSINESS

A clean-up campaign starts re- pairs and building activity. It ere ates a lively demand upon local dealers for everything needed in making homes clean, attractive and safe from fire, disease, and the weather. It stabilizes, restores and increases the value of real estate and helps the bankers and the borrowers.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-04-18

Shrubbery Is trimmed during the clean-up period. Trees are plant ed. Backyards are cleaned up. Homes are thoroughly cleaned in- side and out, from cellar to gar ret; and then are dedicated to continued cleanliness by the minis trations of the painter and deco rator. Thus living conditions are improved.

PAINT AND VARNISH
 GUARD PROPERTIES

A good citizen is constructive. He knows that every sweep of the paint brush spreads sanitation, beauty and content.
 He knows that a well kept place attracts, but a neglected place de- tracts. That paint and varnish are the natural guardians of prop erty.

enormous increase in insanity thru
out the country, DR.. Charles Mayo
famous head of the Mayo Clinic al

wonders Of life in forty years than
was possible for the people in the
past. The world has moved ahead
so fast as regards material civili-
zation that man has almost, for the
moment, got behind in his power
Of adaptation. Every other hos
pitaI bed in the United States is for
mentally afflicted, insane, idiotic,
feeble-minded or senile p ersons.
That's worry. 1t is worry that
breaks down the brain, not work as
such. The rapid pace leads many
to desire to drown their sorrows in

There Is an enormous number
If people who are almost fit for TIE
asylum. Many people live to an
age when they are dependent and

A clue to the cause of increasing
lunacy was given by Dr., Thomas X

speaking before the Wayne County
Board of Supervisors last week. DR.
Gruber reported that insanity in the

order to all the locals to abolish the

We are still paying the tax. but
now since the Union is rapidly de-
clining, having lost nearly 100000
members since 1923 and the General

wants to use this money for fat
salaries and its grating expense bill
which amounts to $4,000 per month.
