82 THE HEALTH BULLETIN foot for galvanized wire. Such screens will usually last from five to ten years, or longer. Where the cost of good wire screens seems prohibitive, excellent results may be obtained by the use of ordinary mosquito netting. Such AVindow Effectively Scr:ened With Mosquito Netting The mosquito netting is secured at the top and sides by means of small three-quarter round mouldings or by tacks. It is unfastened at the bottom and left about eight inches too long. This permits closing the shutters from the inside. Such a screen costs about twenty cents. netting costs about 75 cents per bolt of eight yards in length by fifty-eight inches wide. A very effective and inexpensive method of screening with mosquito netting is to tack it on to the outside of the window frame or by tacking or fastening it with cleats or what is called three-quarter round moulding, to the outside window stop. Such moulding costs about a quarter of a cent a foot. Wherever it is desired to open and close shutters from the inside, cut the piece of mosquito netting six or eight inches longer than the window is high and leave it a bit "full" or loose at the bottom, so that the shutter may be operated from the inside at will, as is shown in the accompanying cut. Such mosquito netting screens will last from one to three years. For the doors there is nothing better than well fitting made-to-measure or machine-made screen doors well braced, carefully hung, and provided with spring hinges. Very satisfactory wire screen doors can be obtained for as little as $1.25, while the spring hinges and fasteners cost 25 cents more. The Finishing Touch—Swatting With the back porch and every door and window screened, the household will be practically free from the dangers and inconveniences of flies. What few flies find their way in as the doors are opened may be killed off once or twice a day by swatting. Thorough screening not only excludes flies, but it also excludes mosquitoes and prevents the danger of malaria. Once a decent, self-respect-ing North Carolina family enjoys the benefits of screens in the home, there will be no return to the dangerous, disgusting condition of common house flies. //or DISEASE GERMS LIVE AND GROW Dr. Benj.
