HOW TO MAKE A FACE MASK.
A Necessary Precaution for Those Car
ing for Influenza Patients.

A Necessary Precaution for Those Car
ing for Influenza Patients.
Many people have asked the state
board of health how to make face
mask
Here are the directions:
The board of health recommends fine
mesh cheese cloth, usually called butter
cloth. Cut the material into strips six
by eight inches. If butter cloth Is used
three thicknesses will be sufficient, but
with coarser material from five to ten
thickne5ses should be used, according to
the fineness of the mesh The mask
should be hemmed on The edges and
made with four plaits lengthwise
of the material Tape should be
fastened on each OF the four cor
ners sufficiently long to tie behind
the head When the mask is extended
full width by fanlike extension Of the
plaits ii viii cover the nose and mouth,
and come below the chin. The upper
tape extends over the ears and ties in
the back of the head so that the ears
viii hold the mask up in place. The
lower tape to be tied around the neck.
Masks are very inexpensive, material
costing little more than five cents for
one mask The board recommends that
attendants provide themselves with a
number of these, and that a person in
constant attendance on a patient, wear
one mask not longer than two hours.
The used mask may then be boiled for at
least FIVE minutes before being used
again. If this is done 1t will not be nee
essary to use antiseptics on the mask.
Care should be taken that the part over
the face is not handled in removing, but
if contact with the hands does occur, the
hands should be thoroughly washed with
soap and hot water. G. F, Dalton.

Frank T. Preston of Killingly, who is being sued for s10,000 damages because of injuries to g year old boy named Sarrofini Montesi, who was struck by the Preston automobile on Aug. 5, 1916, testified for the defense in the superior court on Wednesday afternoon that he stopped the car within about 50 feet ofter hitting the boy and knocking him over in front of the boys home at West Thames street He claimed he was not running the car at more than 15 miles an hour.
 Theodore L.
