KEEP HOMES AS CLEAN
_AS HOSPITALS
You can’t paint up until you have
cleaned up, and you can’t keep
things actually clean and sanitary
and germ-proof unless they are
painted, varnished, or enameled..—
From “W.liy It’s Cheaper to Keep
Well—Prevention the Way.”
That’s why every Inch of surface
in all hospitals is painted, varnish
ed or enameled. Therefore "Paint
paint your walls, floors and ceiling
often,” says the author.
