COUNTRY AWAKE 10 DANGER

Gratifying.

The growth Of the crusade against
tuberculosis In the United States ID
shown to good advantage in the two
directories that have been issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
lthe one in preparation. The first tu-
berculosis directory published in 1904,
ny the tuberculosis committee OF the
New York Charity Organization Socie-
nv and the National Association listed
l1SS sanatoria and hospitals for con-
isumptives In the United States, for
some Of which preliminary provision
Eonly has been made. The combined
capacity of these institutions was only
e, 1000 beds. Thirty-two special dis
lpensaries and thirty-nine anti-tubercu-
loais organizations summed up prac-
tically all of the fighting force emu
merated in the first directory. The
second directory was prepared by the
National Association for the study and
Prevention of tuberculosis and pub
llished under the auspices of the Rus
lsell Sage Foundation in August, 1908.
This directory listed 24O sanatoria and
hospitals, an increase of 1o7 from the.
lf0rmer directory; 1853 dispensaries, an
increase of 1876; and 1876 associations,
tAn. increase of 156. The number of
hospital beds listed In, 1908 was 1904.
The new directory that will be Is
sued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with a bed capacity Of
nearly $4,000; more than 300 special
tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully
A50 anti-tuberculosis associations and
cOmmittees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
khe number Of agencies lighting con-
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
would like to get In touch with all
agencies engaged in the fight against
Huberculosis. In order that they may
be listed In the new directory.
