Few Kentuckians realize the enor-

From carefully gathered statistics, we
find that 5000 men, women and chill
dren die every year in Kentucky from
tuberculosis. while 10000 others are
affected with the disease, many of
whom will pass away in a few years
unless some radical steps are taken
for their care and treatment
Although a large amount of edu-
cational and publicity work has been
done by the State tuberculosis Com
mission during the past few years, lit
tie has been accomplished toward the
construction of suitable sanatoria, es'
pecially for the tuberculosis poor, who
are to be found in LARGE numbers
throughout the state Many of these
unfortunates. who are suffering from
the disease in the advanced stage, are
living with their families, five or six in
number, in huts or novels of one or
two rooms. Since the disease is very
contagious in this stage the entire
family ultimately becomes infected.
The original plan for the construc-
ton of county tuberculosis sanatoria
has been practically abandoned as i'm
practical in a large number OF the
counties for financial reasons AS a
substitute. the Commissioners have re-
Gently authorized the division of the
state into nine tuberculosis santorium
districts, each district to contain from
twelve to fifteen counties From prac-
teal experience it has been found that
the smallest sanatorium district should
have the support of a population OF
100000 or 100000 people in order to
make 1t financial success.
The nine districts have been ar
ranged with reference to their popula-
ton, size, wealth geographical posi-
ton and facilities for water and rail
road transportation. The following
table will show the population. assess

tax levy, deaths and remaining cases

Owing to the adverse action or the
last legislature. it will be necessary
for each district to finance the con-
struction and equipment of its sana-
forum at the present time. although II
is highly probable that the state will

to raise the necessary funds for the
