Additional Hospital Beds for the
Treatment Of the tuberculosis
Are Being Established.

Nearly 1000 additional hospital beds
for consumptives in 30 states were
provided during the year ending June
l, according to statement issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. This
makes a total of over 10000 beds, but
only about one for every ten INDECENT
tuberculosis patients in this country.
In the last five years, the hospital
provision for consumptives has in
creased from 14,42S in 1907, to over
10000 in 1912, or over 100 per cent.
New York state leads in the number
of beds, having $3.50 on June /; Mas
sachusetts comes next with $500; and
Pennsylvania, close third with 2,700
Alabama showed the greatest percent
age OF increase in the last year by
adding 81 new beds to its AZ a year
