HAVE TOP SASH SCREENED

May Be Considered Small Matter, But Is Always Advisable —Advice for Prospective Builder. Don’t forget that you maj at some time want to open the top sash of the window, and that flies and mosquitoes are not particular as to through which sash they enter; therefore have the screen run from top to bottom of the window; to do this, side springs will be necessary in the screen frames, but they will cost little more than a screen which can be used only from the bottom sash and which is little better than no screen at all. Don’t forget that there will never be a better time to build than the present; materials of all kinds are cheaper than they have been for several years* and as soon as the European war is over there is sure to be a sharp advance in prices. Don’t say you can’t build now because you have not enough money; if you have a little, the co-operative banks and building associations will loan you the balance needed upon terms under which you can pay for the house in monthly installments which would be no more than you would ordinarily be paying for rent —Exchange.
