FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Educational Posters by the Thousand
to Be Displayed All Over
United States.

During the next three months, the
bill boards of the United States will
display 10000 ed lcational posters on
tuberculosis, according to an an
nOuncement made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis
This will conclude the campaign be-
gun year ago, when the National
Bill Posters association donated free
space to the tuberculosis cause, the
Poster Printers association offered
free printing, and nine paper manu-
faCturers gave the paper for the post
ers. The combined value of these sew
eral donations for this three-mOnth
campaign is nearly 100000.
The posters are in six different de-
signs and are all printed in three col
0rs They are seven feet wide and
nine feet high. Already nearly $500
of these posters have been hung on
the bill boards of 46 different cities,
and it is planned to distribute 10000
more before April 1 in over 400 towns
and cities. Any anti-tuberculosis so
ciety in the United States may re
ceive free of charge, except for trans
pOrtation, as many of these posters as
can be hung on the boards in it's ter
ritory. The National association with
the tuberculosis committee of the Ma
tionaI Billposters and Distributors are
conducting the campaign.
The posters show in graphic form
cure tuberculosis; how bad air, over
work and closed windows lead to con-
sumption; and how the careless con-
sumptive menaces the health of his
family by splitting Oh the floor.
