TUBERCULOSIS is cUREABLE.
Anti Splitting Crusade Would d.
crease the Disease.

st. Louis, Missouri, Jan. Is
That deaths from consumption and
the spread Of the disease itself can
be reduced by large percentage IS
the statement made by the st. Louis
society for the prevention of Tuber-
culosis, which is now asking aid in
its fight against the plague through
it's president, Francis G. Eaton.
That non-enforcement of the law
against splitting is responsible for
much Of the disease is also asserted.
Estimates furnished from other cit
les and contrasted with local statis-
ties show, according to the society,
that consumption can not only be
cured, but prevented, if proper pre-
cautions are taken. Particular atten-
ton is called to the non-enforcement
Of the law against splitting on the
sidewalks and in the street cars.
Splitting in public places is the
principal cause for the spread Of the
disease, it is said. That expeetora-
ton ON the sidewalks and in the street
cars is directly responsible for much
of the disease and requires work on
the part of citizens to prevent Of
lenses of this sort, It is announced.
According to the figures prepared
by the local society, 1000 lives were
lost in Illinois last year, representing
an economic loss of $36, 100000. Mis-
souri's loss was about 1900 lives and
the economic loss was approximately
1921, 100000, while that Of st. Louis
alone, on this basis, was about
/ SS, 900, 600.
As contrast, in New York and
Philadelphia, proper precautions Ia
ken have resulted in reduction OF
deaths by 40 per cent. The work of
the society is endorsed by the Civic
Improvement League. Enforcement
Of the anti-spitting ordinance is most
strongly urged by the society as :
means of preventing the spread Of
the plague, while more intelligent
methods for cleaning streets and side.

A perfect food Of petitions praying
Congress to take steps to avert the

from the Middle Western States. The
similarity in the wording and the pre-
paration Of these petitions indicates
THAT they are the result Of an organ
lied movement to arouse Congress to
action It is suspected that the beef
