cording to Statement.
t0pFelal no rnrTrlFarau,


NEW YORK, March 10.-While the
latest report of the bureau Of the CEN
sus shows that in 1914 tuberculosis
caused over 1915 per cent Of all deaths
in the registration area OF the United
States, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF Tuberculosis
points out In a statement issued today
that the death rate from this disease
Is steadily decreasing, having declined
from 200T per 100000 population In
1904 to 1863 in 1914. This would I'm
dicate. the association claims, that the
anti-tuberculosis movement organized
In the last ten years Is having a marked
effect on the mortality Of tuberculosis,
especially since the death rate from
this diseases. seems to be declining
more rapidly than the general death
rate from all causes.
Commenting on this decrease in the
rate from tuberculosis, the bureau OF
the census says: ':As a result OF a
more general understanding OF the
laws OF health. the importance of fresh
air, etc, due In part, no doubt. to the
efforts OF the various societies for the
prevention OF tuberculosis, there has
been most marked and gratifying
decrease during recent years in the
mortality from this scourge of civ
ilization. In only a decade-from 1904
to 1914-the death rate from tubercu-
1osis in all its forms fell from 200.7
to 1868 per 100000, the decline being
continuous from year to year. This
Is a drop Of more than twenty-five per
cent"
AS an indication Of the growth OF the
campaign against tuberculosis. the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention OF Tuberculosis shows that
In 1906. when the campaign was def
nitely started. there were in the Unit
ed States only thirty-nine anti-tuber-
culosis associations, 115 sanatoria and

You haven't gained in weight one
