SCREENS. 

 IMPORTANT. READ CAREFULLY. 



To THE Residents of the i2TH Ward. 



The good work of all residents in the 12th Ward has called for much attention by 

 the press and public. All cisterns have been oiled and screened, gutters oiled several 

 times, and many of the houses fumigated, but we must not rest or stop one minute. 



We must kill every mosquito that breeds Yellow Fever, and hasten the end of the 

 fever b}' stamping out every spot in the ward where mosquitoes can breed. 



We must continue to oil the gutters whenever necessary. The cheese cloth around 

 the cisterns are being torn and broken daily by the wind, and providing places in 

 which the mosquito will breed, and it should be corrected at once. In 'order to help 

 the good work and stop this means of breeding mosquitoes, 



YOU ARE REQUESTED AND URGED TO COVER YOUR CISTERN 

 WITH NOT LESS THAN 18 MESH WIRE AT ONCE, AND 

 WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY. 



There is ample wire now here to do this, and a few dollars spent now to correct the 

 bad screening will make the work permanent and save many lives. 



ALL CISTERNS MUST BE SCREENED WITH WIRE BEFORE OCTOBER ist. 



THAT IS THE LAW. 



Don't get the wrong wire, if you do it will have to be done over again, and in order 

 to show you what 18 mesh wire is we call your attention to this picture showing the 

 size, 18 holes to the inch. 



Don't wait until October ist, and perhaps have an affidavit made against you, 

 followed by a fine, and perhaps imprisonment : while you have time. 



DO IT NOW. THE SOONER, THE BETTER FOR ALL.
