The congress on tuberculosis,

meets every three years, and this is
the first time it has come to this
country. The last meeting was held
In Paris, France, in 1905, and three
years before that the gathering took
place in London. II is not likely that
the congress will again convene in
the United States for a great many
years, as the honor of entertaining

tries abroad.
Preparations for the gathering
are engaging the attention of every
enlightened nation. The white
plague is no respector Aof persons or
of races. 1t is limited to any quar-
ter of the globe, and the common
ground on which Europe, Asia, Afri-
ca and North and South America are

may be ought under as complete
control as smallpox, plague, yellow
fever and other infectious diseases

Committees OF arrangements for the
congress have been organized in
every State in our own land In
every section plans are being per-
fected for representation in the con-
gress. A number of the foregn gov
ernments have already announced to
the state department at Washington
the names Of their official delega-
ties; while others have acquainted

done around the globe in the fight
against tuberculosis, from Alaska
down to the Cape of Good Hope,
from the steps of northern Russia
to the diamond fields of South Africa.
Every State in the Union is eX-
pected to be represented in some
way at the congress. The governors
of 40 States have authorized the
