ASSERTS THAT POVERTY ;
BREEDS TUBERCULOSIS
Public Health Service, in Bulletin
Just Issued, Gives Results
of Investigation.

Poverty breeds tuberculosis Is the
conclusion reached by the public health
service. Results of Investigation made
by the service form the text of bulle-
tin Just issued.
The great factor underlying the en-
tire problem was seemingly that of
economic conditions" says the bulletin.
"One-siXth of all tuberculosis cases
came from cheap lodging houses.
Alcoholism was a prominent cause,
and often accelerated the course of the
disease. Occupational hazards and bad
working conditions We're apparently re-
sponsible for about 20 per cent of the
cases. but in the majority Of instances
these hazards were not necessarily in
herent in the occupations.
Previous tuberculosis in the family
occurred in practically third of all the
cases Investigated. Dissipation. over
crowding, bad housing and innate lack
of personal responsibility were also
listed a s causes"

Effect Of immigration.

A feature of the report relates to the
effect of immigration and the rate of
growth of the population of a city upon
the tuberculosis death rate. Cities with
a population composed largely of racial
stock having a limited resistance TO
tuberculosis are subject to high NOR
tality rate from that disease, while
centers having slow rate of popula-
tion increase are likewise subject to a
high tuberculosis rate.
The evidence is submitted in com
parative table covering sixteen Amer
ican cities. Almost without exception
those with high percentage of Irish.
Scandinavian and German stock. and
those in which the negro population is
relatively large. have corresponding
ly high mortality, while those where
the Italian and Jewish element is pro-
portionately great have low tubercu-
