Fighting tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis Is being vigorously
fought In Australia. for though the
percentage of deaths from tuberculosis
in Australia is less than in most other
countries, the federal government is
not unmindful of the fact that its pen
sion list contains the names of many
persons who are rendered physical
wrecks through the undermining influ-
ences of diseases of the respiratory
organs. A federal committee on the
causes of death and invalidity in the
commonwealth is conducting an inves-
tigatiOn of tuberculosis and means of
combating 1t. The figures for 1914,
when there were 1874 deaths from tn.
berculOsis. indicate that the disease Is
most destructive in its effect between
the ages of twenty-One and thirty-five
. years, as far as both sexes are con-
cerned, but after this life period
deaths in male cases predominant.
