SPENT A MILLION.
Fighters Carried on an.
Active Campaign.

New York. Jan. "A million dollars
in round numbers was spent in the
United States last year in the campaign
against tuberculosis, according to the
annual report of the National Associa-
ton for the Prevention and Study of
tuberculosis. The fight. the report
says, was the most successful, the best
organized and most far reaching in tha
history of medicine. All classes of peo-
pie are taking up the crusade, including
labor unions, churches and laymen.
An important factor was the work of
the Red Cross with its millions of
stamps and the international exhibit
held first at Washington and now open
in this city impressed upon thousands
the necessity of properly combating the
disease. During the year more institu
lions and organizations for the cure of
tuberculosis were established than the
total number of such institutions in eX-
istence prior to January 1; 1908.
