One Record Made by Women.

Through the activity Of women. In
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions OF
pieces, thousands Of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods Of proven
ton of tuberculosis. The work Of the
women extends from the drawing room
of the rich to the homes Of the poor,
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year a special campaign Of
lectures to women will be carried on
In all parts Of the United States.
