Washington, D. c., Jan. 6.-The

which is made possible by the vast

Storage Makes Trust Possible.

War Department Feels Effect.
The war department announced to
congress that there was a deficiency
of $1,595,635 for the subsistence of
the army during the present year,
mainly because of the enhanced cost
of food.
The army's plight was set forth in
an appeal to congress to provide
more funds to feed and cIothe and
maintain the force. The petition
was accompanied by list prepared
by the commissary general, showing
increases in many staples in 1909
over the cost of 1908.
All this activity has resulted in

Millions Spent in Tuberculosis Cru
SADIE.

Millions Spent in tuberculosis CRU
SADIE.
Based on reports gathered from all
parts of the United States, the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis issued a
bulletin recently in which it is stated
that So, $50, 621.5O was expended during
the year just closed by the various
interests fighting consumption in the
United States. The bulletin, which is
preliminary to a longer report, shows
that in the year 1909 over 10000 900
pieces of literature were distributed
and that 117,312 patients were treated
and assisted by the sanatoria, dispen-
saries and anti-tuberculosis associa-
tions.
By far the largest amount of money
spent during the past year was for
the treatment of tuberculosis patients
in sanatoria and hospitals, S5,292,-
28977 being expended in this way.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent S975,S .56, the tuberculosis dis
pensaries and clinics $640,474.64, and
the various municipalities, for special
tuberculosis work, spent Sill, 967. So
The anti-tuberculosis associations dis
tributed the most literature, spreading
far and wide $500, 900 copies of cir
culars, pamphlets and other printed
matter for the purpose of educating
the public about consumption. The
health departments of the different
cities also distributed more than l.
056,00O copies, which, with the work
done by state departments of health,
brings the number of pieces distrib-
uted during the year well over TO-
100000, The largest number of pa
tients treated during the year was by
the dispensaries, where 81, $50 patients
were given free treatment and advice.
The sanatoria and hospitals treated
3S. 758 patients, while anti-tuberculosis
associations assisted 16,96S.
New York state leads in the anti
tuberculosis work done. during the
past year, having spent more money,
more literature and treated
more patients than any other state.
Pennsylvania comes next and Massa-
chusetts is third The next seven
states are Illinois, Maryland, New Jer-
sey, California, Colorado, Connecticut
and Ohio.
Although the survey of the past
years work shows that much has
been done, the reports from all parts
Of the country indicate that next year
the amount of money to be expended, |
and the actual number of patients
that will be treated will be more than
double that of the past year. For in
stance, special appropriations have
been made in the various municipali- |
lies for next years anti-tuberculosis |
work, aggregating $S,976, 500. In addi- |
ion to these appropriations over $4,-
