1t is like trying to multiply dollars by

lively recent invention known as the
combined course. This involves, gen.
orally. six or seven years OF study fol.

gives the student two degrees. one
academic and one professional:
For example. a university maintain

HOW TO SCREEN IS
TOLD BY HEALTH MEN
STATE BOARD ISSUES AN I'M
PORTANT BULLETIN on a
VITAL SUBJECT.

How to Screen" is the subject
treated in an important bulletin is
sued yesterday by the Mississippi
State Board of Health. The bulletin
was prepared by DR.. w. S. Leathers,
director of public health, and in full
is as follows:
Much of the screening that is done
is ineffective. An idea prevails among
many people that screening OF doors
and windows of a residence gives all
necessary protection so far as this
particular measure is concerned,
against flies and mosquitoes. The
door is screened often with a crack
at the bottom which admits flies and
mosquitoes freely, or in time it be-
comes punctured with holes, through
which they gain access to the home.
In sense, this kind of screening
causes the inmates of the home to live
with a feeling of false security. In
other words, whenever screening is
done in a careless manner, whether
1t be a home or restaurant or no.
tel it permits flies and mosquitoes to
enter. and when these diseaSe-caTry-
ing insects once gain admittance, this
kind of screening prevents them from
escaping from the house; in other
words. it serves as a trap instead of
a protection.
Screening to be effective should be
done with care; no cracks should be
left around the screen door or win
dow, even the smallest opening will
be found by blood-seeking mosquito
or a filth-carrying fly. The wire gauzc
should have Is to Is mesheS to the
square inch Even n IA mesh wire
gauze will allow mosquitoes to enter
unless it is painted: the 12-inch wire
gauze should never be used. This
serves to protect against flies. but not
mosquitoes.
During the sumner months it is
desirable to have portion or all CT
the porch screened, as it is usually
the custom for all people to sit on
the porch in the evening during the
summer months AS malaria is spread
by q certain kind of mosquito which
usually bites only at night, it is nee
essary to use special precautions be
tween dusk and sunrise. Every home
should be protected against flies and
mosquitoes by effective screening.
When people live without such prOtec-
ton. it is shown that they spend more
money in doctors bills in one year
because of this. than screening costs.
Likewise. all restaurants, hotels
and meat markets should be- screened
carefully, in order to protect food
against the disease-spreading house
fly"
