Among First Problems.

One of the first problems in the
Campaign was to find out how many
cases of tuberculosis there were in
The country. Tuberculosis came to
be treated like other contagious dis
cases and laws We're passed recurring
physicians to report To the health
officers any cases of tuberculosis
which came to them for treatment.
The late William II. Baldwin,
member Of the local Tuberculosis AS
soCiation, was the leader in obtaining
such IL registration law for the Dis
trIct Of Columbia. Surgeon General
George NJ. Sternberg. first president
of the tuberculosis Association. and
his colleagues were active in efforts
TO secure for Washington a tubercu-
losis hospital. The campaign was
finally successful, resulting in the
erection of the hospital at 18th and
CpShur streets.
In an effort to discover in Wash
ington as early as possible cases of
tuberculosis, the Washington Tuber-
culostS Association opened the first
special dispensary for patients suf-
fering from the white plague. This
diSpenSary was conducted for many
years by. the association.
Money Expended Here.
Every cent received from the sale
OF Christmas seals in the District of
Columbia is spent here in CARRYING
on this work, with the exception Df
per cent, which is allotted to the
National tuberculosis Association for
lts country wide program. No better
health investment has ever been made
by the people as a whole than in the
purchase of Christmas seals with
which to buy health and safety, not
only for themselves, but for others.

ISOLATION, which stood fourth in the
proportion of seals sold to the popu-
lation last year as compared with

this year, and if possible even sur
pass this record. Its quota is 3.O00.-
900 seals, or total sale of $50, 900.
This is the same quota as last year
The headquarters of the seal sale
is at the Office of the tuberculosis

any quantity desired. The treasurer
