Conditions.


WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 12--
Another year Of prosperity and solid
growth for American banks is record
ed in the annual report OF the comp
troller of the currency, presented to
Congress today. Not only the nation-
al banks which come directly under
the control and supervision of the

stitutions-some 1880 Others are

combined resources of the 1000 ma
tionaI banks OF the United States grew
to approximately $1,000. 900, 900. ON
September 1. last, their loans and dis
counts had reached the immense sum
of $500. 600. O0O-an amount never
before -equalled in the history of the

Combining all other banks in the

DISCOVER A CURE
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Pennsylvania Health Off
cials Announce 1t.

Pittsburg. July 1.-THE State board of
health in Pennsylvania has just COM
pleted experiments in preventing tuber-
culosis which, it is claimed. within time
completely stamp out the disease which
is carrying off 2.0O0O0 persons annually.
The announcement OF this discovery was
made yesterday by Or. S. G. Dixon of
Philadelphia. State commissioners of
health, at a banquet given In McKees-
port
DR.. Dixon was slated for an address.
but before beginning he said he had a
little surprise for the physicians gath
cred, and it was in the shape of an an
nouncement that a sure preventive for
tuberculosis he hAAn found The State
board of health is now working hard on
the principle that the same preventive
may be used as a cure also for cases
partly developed. This. however. has not
yet been assured.
DR. Dixon said he was not vet at ub-
erty TO give out the secrets of the prepa-
ration, which, he said, would be used
to inoculate both sexes when quite
young. 1t is something along the same
lines as the famous lymph of DR.. Koch,
though three times as powerful. Dr.
Dixon said the authorities at Harrisburg
had been working on the process for
several years and that the first principle
involved was the discovery of an obscure
country doctor.
The State commissioner OF health will
ask the State OF Pennsylvania for large
appropriation to be used in the erection
of an institution where the discovery can
be applied.
