TUBERCULOSIS HAS
NOT BEEN CHECKED

Washington. May. 13-That the Wig
orous campaign against tuberculosis
has failed TO check the great white
pleague was the startling charge made
today by Nathan Straus, the New
York philanthropist. at the fifth annual
meeting Of the national association for
the study and prevention. Of tubercu-
losis.
Mr.. Straus backed up his assertion
by Official statistics from. The New
York Health Department showing an
increase of 80 percent In two years In
cases of tuberculosis in the city that
DR.. Koch described as leading the
whole world in the fight against the
disease.
The reason for this failure to make
Roadway, Mr.. Straus declared. was the
neglect of the mischief wrought by the
tuberculosis dairy.
Citing the results OF scientific In
vestigation and his own eighteen
years experience In saving lives, he
summed up by saying that the aboli-
ton Of tuberculosis would begin when
Is was made crime to sell hilk un-
less 1t came from tuberculin tested
cows or had been properly pasteuriz-
ed.

of the president, DIR. Vincent Y Bow
ditch OF New York. Homer Folkes of
New York City. one of the vice presi-
dents. presided. Several hundred dele
gates prominent In the anti-tuberculo-
sis campaign from all parts of the
country. were In attendance.
In his address. Mr.. Folks called at
tention to the progress of the fight
against tuberculosis during the year.
and declared that one of the pressine
needs now. was for adequate hospital
provision for consumptives In the In
termediate and advanced stages.
The report of the Executive Secre-
tary, Livingstone Harrington. showed
new membership OF 500, making, a
total of 2.I07. One of the most strik-
ing advances made during the year
was that thirty-four out of forty
Legislatures had considered tuberculo-
sis legislation.
Reviewing the work accomplished In
the South, Il was shown that the fight
was carried on In Tennessee. Alabama,
Florida and Georgia and during the
coming year it is planned to operate
In the Carolinas. Mississippi. Louisiana
and other Southern States.

to provide the mayor who ever he

Il can conceive of no greater mis-
