URGE NEW CRUSADE
ON WHITE PLAGUE
crv for Further Preventive Meas
ureS Comes in Unison from
the PuIpitS
TO MAKE BIG FIGHT IN l. A.
Pastors Join in Support of Plans
of National tuberculosis
Board

War on the white plague was waged
from the pulpits of the country yester-
dav in response to the request of the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis of New
York city. This association has enlist
ed the power of the pulpit and the
press in order to further its work IN en-
deavoring to stamp out tuberculosis
the great white plague of the tWentleth
century.
Yesterday before almost every de-
nomination and church in Los Ange-
les at least mention was made OF the
work of the society. In some cases the
sermons were devoted principally TO
that subject, while in others reference
was made to it, while in still others the
work of the society, its cause ana lts
needs were spoken of in preludes pre-
ceding the usual sermons.
The fight against the ravages OF
tuberculosis is particularly strong in
Los Angeles and throughout Southern
california, where hundreds afflicted
with that disease come every year
many to be cured in this climate, but
many too late to receive benefit.
The clergy have striking proof of the
necessity for strong measures IN hght-
ing the disease, and many strong SER
mons were delivered in behalf of the
society from local pulpits yesterday
The call to the ministers was entirely
undenominational, and in every de-
nomination yesterday heed was given
as the result of the necessity realized
by many of the clergy.
DIR. George H. Kress, secretary of the
California, association, had distributed
literature treating on the subject
among the clergymen, and in many
other ways was instrumental in having
the day generally observed.
