(Board of Health Bulletin.) Screens are as essential as roofs to Florida homes. And the remark is quite as force- fully applicable to homes in other states as to those in Florida. The roof and walls keep out rain, the dampness o fnizht draws and glare of the sun’s rays. The screen —the good screen—keeps out sever- eral of the common preventable dis- eases and makes them preventable.
