SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS VAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year In Fight Against the
Dread White Plague.

Nearly $1s.o00.OO0 was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912,
according to the fourth annual Stats
teal statement of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of Tuberculosis. The expenditures
during the year for sanatorium and
hospital construction and treatment
make the largest single item In the
total amounting to nearly $16.800,0 900.
This Ia an increase Of nearly $4,000
900 over the same group Of expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over s765.0O0. while dis
pensaries and tuberculosis clinics
spent over 100000 Over $4,000
was spent for the maintenance and
establishment of open-air school and
fresh air classes, which Is more than
double the amount spent for this pur-
pose In 1911. Oficial. state and mu-

amounted to $2s0.000. In addition to
these figures. about 100000 was
