 ASSOCIATION HAS
 PURCHASED HOME

The anti-tuberculoss association has purchased a permanent home for the tu- berculosis dispensary and is located at 2019 Avenue F. The building is being put in order for immediate occupancy by the association and the state league jointly, according to an announcement made at the annual meeting of the asso- citation held in the rooms of the Civic association.
 One of the most important things to come before this organiza ton for dis cussion was the urgent necessity of a county tuberculosis hospital. as the san itorium conducted by the association for the past eight years is too small to meet the increasing demands, approximately 50 cases being reported to the health off, flcer monthly. Vastly increased demands for space is being made at present by the return of tuberculosis persons re- jected or discharged by the war depart ment. The percentage of deaths among the negroes from tuberculosis is five times greater than that of the whites and there is no institution for the care of the negro cases in this district.
 There is state law providing machin- cry for securing adequate care of tu- berculosis in an advanced form through the county authorities and the establish ment of hospital and hospital board adequate to the stupendous needs and committee will be appointed to promote the matter of the construction of such a hospital for not less than POO beds, and it is suggested that the name of the undertaking be "The Liberty Memorial hospital" It will be a permanent mon ument to Jefferson county heroes who fall in the world war.
 It was announced that the open air school at Green Springs was temporarily suspended owing to present conditions prevailing and committee composed ot pr. J. H. Phillips, Mrs. c. B. Spencer and Dr. George Eaves was appointed to arrange for permanent site nearer to the area of the population.
 The report of the secretary was read showing that splendid work had been dcne by the association during the past year.
 In spite of the continued loss of $408 monthly by the mpecuniosity of the city of Birmingham, the association has a small balance on hand, although S500) is needed to carry the work to Jan- uary l, 1919 M
