everybody wants them somewhere else

reason commonly given for the oppo-

which, as unvarying experience in all
parts of the country has proved, is
entirely without foundation. A sana-
forum for the tuberculous does not
increase, but promptly. decidedly and
permanently decreases the death rate
from the disease among the inhab-

doing this by diffusing knowledge of
what it's victims should do to. help

is that it will lower the value of sur

is groundless, for invariably real estate
prices have either risen or been I'M

Probably more potent than any
other reason for opposing the arrival

ticed-is the belief that they will have
a depressing effect on those who have
to hear and see them. This argument
is not often used openly, for every
body feels that it is a cruel and I'M
