SPIRIT IN TUBERCULOSIS WAR
Nineteen Million Dollars Expended
Last Year in Fight Against the
Dread White Plaque.

Nearly $19,000,000 was spent in the
anti-tuberculosis campaign in the
United States during the year 1912, &C
cordlng to the fourth annual statisti-
cal statement Of expenditures in this
movement issued by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
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 Sl6,8O0, 900.
This Is an increase of nearly $1,000
600 over the same group of expendi-
lures for the year 1911. The anti
tuberculosis associations and commit
tees spent over $765,O0O, while dis
pensarles and tuberculosis clinics
spent over $500OO0. Over S415,O0O
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. Official, state and mu-
nicipal expenditures outside of the
maintenance of institutions, which are
included in the other totals, amount
ed to $280,000. In addition to these
figures. about 100000 was spent by
hospitals for insane and penal insti-
tutions,in caring for their tuberculosis
inmates.
