the British order In council went
into effect prohibiting shipments of
tobacco to any country engaged in
war against the Allies, or to any ma

MANY AGENCIES AT WORK
Most Active Fight Against Tubercu-
losis Is Being Carried on at
Numerous Points.

Statistics made public by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis show that
nearly 5000 agencies are now listed in
the fight against tuberculosis In the
United States, an increase Of 1000 per
cent since 1904, when the national
warfare on this disease was started.
These figures are taken from a new
tuberculosis directory issued by the
association.
The list includes 557 sanatoria and
hospitals, 1913 tuberculosis boarding
houses, 80 hospitals for the insane and
IS penal institutions making special
provision for tuberculosis, 455 dis
pensaries. 80 open air schools, and
1924 anti-tuberculOSis associations
and committees. To these are added
1853 Canadian institutions and associa-
tons, making total of 3,O87. The di-
rectOry also gives summary or mu-
nicipal and state legislation on tuber-
culOSis.
When the national association was
formed in 1904 and the first list Of
agencies was printed, only 1873 organi-
cations and institutions were found.
The second edition of the directory in
1908 reported $40 different agencies;
and LAO were listed in the third edi-
ton published in 1911. On the basis
of the latter figures, the number of
agencies in the anti-tuberculosis move
ment has increased 115 per cent in the
last five years.
