Tuberculosis can be rooted out Of

evening.
'If the United States would spend a
million dollars this next year for the
detection of concealed cases Of tuber-
culosis that are kept secret. and then
put them under proper treatment" said
DR.. LAphan. I'VE should not only
make an investment yielding large re-
turns in money saved. but our ability
to detect concealed tuberculosis would
be more generally diffused throughout
the profession. With immunity thus
established In case after case, II gradu-
ally will be extended to the masses. and
tuberculosis will take it's place among
other extinct pests. Tuberculosis is
rooted In the children. We must.
therefore, begin our attack with them.

This trouble with the community was

as water supply, and sewage disposal,
