McDuff,' Va.—‘‘I suffered tor several vears,” says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, oi Jiis place, “with sick headache, and stomach trouble. Ten years ago a friend told me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did, and 1 found it to be the best family medi cine for young and old. I keep Black-Draught on hand 811 the time now, and when my children feel a little bad, they ask me for a dose, and it does them more good than any medicine they ever tried. We never have a long spell of sick ness in our faufily, since we commenced using Black-Draught.” Thedford’s Black-Draught is purely vegetable, and has been found to regu late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea, headache, sick stomach, and similar symptoms. It has been in constant use for more than 70 years, and has benefited more than a million people. Your druggist sells and recommends Black-Draught. Price only 25c. Get a Bsckage to-day.

The whole atmosphere of the little room which they called '‘home” was one of hopeless depression and squalor. To pTove the power of suggestion, a good woman placed on the ta. e a miniature statue of the Venus of Milo. Against this grimy back-ground of dirt and wretchedness, the Venus.shone out in all her whiteness and purity, elevating and brightening her strange surroundings. The good woman called a week later and found that the place had been cleaned up, the dirt had been washed away and a pathetic but sincere attempt at decoration had been made — the subtle influence was effective. If the homes in a neighborhood become weather-beaten and shabby, values in the whole neighbor^ od deteri orate, But if some house-owner paints and brightens up his home, it radiates its attractiveness in every direction and soon the whole neighborhood is made bright and attractive. Real Campaign Is Taking Place of :1me‘‘Clean Up" roAL BATH” FOR TOWN S TABOOED. Five Thousand Communities Will This Year Join “Clean Up §nd Paint Up" Movement. MORE than 5,000 cities and towns will this year participate in “opening weeks" in the National Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign, accord ing to Allen W. Clark, chairman o£ the National “Clean Up and Paint Up” Campaign Bureau, St. Louis. Many of these committees, Clark declares, are thus breaking away from the old established “clean up” or “annual bath” idea and are striving to make their improvement programs continu ous performances. Files in the bureau’s offices, which Indicate that the organization has in reality become a national clearing house for the dissemination of com munity betterment ideas, show that last year more than 2,000 cities and towns made an effort to "clean up and paint up.” “This year,” commented Chairman Clark, "it looks as though we would co-operate with more than 6,000 communities, In each of which some live civic leader is trying to Im prove living conditions. Though a majority of these campaigns will start with an 'opening week,' a definite program of activity, we know that the bureau’s success has been chiefly due to the fact that we try to get away from the old-fashioned ‘annual clear, up' idea that has become odious tc many civic leaders and an annual joke in many cities. The plans of the bureau call for continuous campaigns that bring permanent results and help form worth while civic habits.” The Work to Be Done. The work of the bureau this year is more comprehensive than ever before. Everything that will beautify, pre serve, improve sanitation, reduce fire risks, and better health conditions has been carefully provided for. Among the things which local ''Clean Up and Paint Up” campaigners are doing this year are: Cleaning the streets and alleys, front yards, back yards, cellars, stables, attlcks; the removal of ashes and rubbish; cleaning up vacant lots of rubbish and weeds; eliminating breeding places of flies and mosqui toes; planting and care of trees, hedges and flowers; and the liberal Use of paint on everything that needs It. It is this constructive, permanent nature of the improvements effected that has won the endorsement of national leaders in every branch of civic uplift work. Among those serv- i ing this year on the National Bureau’s advisory committee are: Mrs. Clarence Baxter, Klrksvllle, Mo., chairman of the Women's Com mittee of the National Bureau, is also vice chairman of the civics department of the General Fed eration of Women’s Clubs, and chair man of the civic and health depart ment of the Missouri Federation of Women’s Clubs. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, Topeka, Kan., president of the Asso ciation of State and Province Health Officers of North America. H. S. But tenheim, New York, editor of "The American City.” Clinton R. Wood ruff, Philadelphia, secretary National Municipal League and editor of the "National Municipal Review.” Mrs. Philip North Moore, St. Louis, ex-presi-. dent National Federation of Women's' Clubs. William Woodhead, San Fran cIbco, president of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. P. S. Ridsdale, Washington, D. C., executive secretary American Forestry Associa tion. Richard B. Watrous, Washing ton, D. C., secretary American Civic Association. Mrs. Geo. Zimmerman, Fremont, O., chairman of the civics department, General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Pamt and Self-Respect. The one most important factor in spreading t1ie gospel of cleanliness, thrift and civic pride, which the liureau is trying to do, is the work of newspaper editors throughout the country, asserts Chairman Clark. For instance, here is what Paul Brown, editor of The St. Louis Republic, has to say of the movement: “Thousands of American cities and towns have taken up the National ‘Clean Up and Paint Up’ campaign that originated in St. Louis three sea son's ago. It has been Indorsed by thousands of civic, commercial and women’s organizations all over the nation. The cities that have made themselves a part of the movement are cleaner and better cities because of it. The Republic aided in launch ing the initial campaign and is glad to know that the Federation of Women’s Clubs is planning a general St. Louis campaign for this spring. This will aid in making ‘St. Louis the Healthiest City,’ for paint is the great preservative and a powerful aid in sanitation. Add to beauty and economy the fact that paint has a sanitary value, and the arguments apply with added force to the big cities. Nat urally the paint dealer profits by such campaigns. None but the pessimist will object to this. He gives value received and more. The house that is painted is the better for it. A neighborhood that has cleaned up and painted up is a better one in which to live. Paint makes for self-respect and justifiable pride.” In the office of the National ‘‘Clean Up and Paint Up” Campaign Bureau hangs a room-size wall map, with every state dotted by red stars de noting cities conducting campaigns last year. And so it is true that civic leaders in thousands of towns are working to “get their town on the map” this year.

Paint up inside and out, porches, fences, woodwork and: porch chairs. Business houses clean windows and replace old awnings. Friday—BACK YARD DAY. Clean alleys, repair fences and sheds, screen garbage cans. Put fly traps on garbage cans. Put on screen doors. Saturday—VACANT LOT DAY.
