Funds to Fight TubereuIosis.

fOU08 10 eu2OS uOOGbCOlOSbSe
Based on reports from all parts of
the United States the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis has issued statement
which shows that In 1910 nearly $15.-
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis. as opposed to $4,000. 900
spent in 1909. The largest item Of ex-
pense in 1910 was for treatment In
sanatoria and hospitals, $11 ,376.500 be-
ing expended for that purpose, or
more than double the amount for 1909.
The anti-tuberculosis associations
spent $76O.5OO. and the tuberculosis
dispensaries $SS9,O0O. The special mu-
nicipal and state expenditures aggre-
gate $1,75O,OOO.
The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey of
the years work is the increase in the
percentage Of public money spent.
While in 1909 53.5 per cent. Of the
total expenditure was from federal.
state. municipal or county funds, GIG
per cent. came from public appropria-
tions in 1910. The actual amount Of
public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was $9.267 900. or
more than double the amount from
this same source in 1909. This fact
indicates. the national association de-
clares. that anti-tuberculosis associa.
ti0ns are gaining ground. by securing
increased appropriations from public
money.
