THE TUBERCULOSIS BILLS.

Before the state legislature right
now are two bills to fight the white
plague, tuberculosis. The law-mak-
ers apparently are too busy for such
legislation, or think they are not di-
rectly concerned in this matter. At
any rate, the bills do not seem to
have met with the approval they de-
serve.
These bills should be enacted into
law. The people of the state who are
well are the people who must wage
the fight to remain so. tuberculosis
must be stamped out. The people en-
joying good health are the keepers of
their suffering brothers.
The campaign against this disease
gradually is eliminating it from all
sections .of the country. But the
war is not yet over. The pending
bills are great step in that direction
in the state of Missouri. Their pas
sage would insure a great blow at
the ravages of tuberculosis.
