FARMERS ON INCREASE.
No 1ponder there is so much de-
nrand for farm legislation. Amert-
cas- farm population is the largest
in the Nations history, according
to the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies. The bureau estimated
there Dere 32,779,000 persons on
farms in the United States on
January I. The total represents
an increase of 270,000 oUer the
same date last year. The change
is attributed to q surplus OF births

any marked bdck-to-the-tdrn'

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN.

XXTHILE persons talk in large figures about
w tional budgets and the cost Of relief they fail
to realize that some diseases take terrible toll Of
dollars each year from the American people.
Figures just made available indicate that the
yearly cost to the $50 900 Americans who suffer with
tuberculosis is S350,000,000.
Average duration of the disease is five years. That
means total cost for that period Of nearly S2000-
100000
One reason why tuberculosis is such an expensive
disease for the state is the fact that it kills more
persons in early adult and middle age than does
any other disease. tuberculosis warrants far more
attention than has been given To it, notwithstanding
the fact that the campaign is extensive
Death rates during the last so years have been
cut from DTS 300 thousand to as low as IS to 100
a thousand However, it should De possible to reduce
the number of deaths even more.
NOWADAYS the great campaign on tuberculosis
takes cognzance Of the fact that early attention
and particularly early discovery of the disease are
the most significant factors in its control Seen early
cure is frequent; seen late, cure is difficult II not
impossible
Figures show that the right kind of treatment
given within six months of the time when the symp-
toms first appear reduces the average expense OF han
ding the disease about $3.50 patient On the otner
hand, if there is delay Of one year in finding out
about the disease, the average cost of handling is
more than $4,000 patient or $500 above the average
cost of treatment.
OF course, the best way to take care of tubercu-
loSS, particularly that WHICH Is rdCneT duFdIOcN
to have the patient in properly conducted saIa
forum or similar institution. Cost in such lnstltu-
tons approximates $3.50 a day.
IF patient is seen early. the disease may oe
/ brought under control in about five months. H.
however, he first begins TO get INSTITUTIONAL care
when he is in the third stage Of the disease nine
months may be required.
The saving of four months to the patient and 10

that more beds are available in sanatoria for those
who REQUIRE sanatorium attention.
The modern method of detecting tuberculosis lp
its earliest stages involves careful history OF the
natient use of the xrav use of the skin tests now
generally available, and finally use OF the usual
methods of physical examination by humping tne
chest and by listening to the sounds OF the lungs IN
breathing.
