Money Needed for Good Work.

Twelve years ago, Massachusetts
made the first appropriation for a
state sanitarium. Since that time,
over $1O,000,000 has been appropri-
ated by state legislatures for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis, and about an
equal sum by municipal and county
authorities. The federal government
has over $1,O0O,OOO invested in tuber-
culosis hospitals, and spends annually
about 100000 in their maintenance.
Every year the percentage of appro-
priations made from public funds for
tuberculosis work has increased.
While private societies have led the
way in the tuberculosis campaign,
every effort has been made to have
states, cities and counties do their
share. A bulletin of the national as
sociation states that the final success
OF the anti-tuberculosis crusade de-
pends on every city and state provid-
ing funds to treat and prevent con-
sumption.
