Presenting a lineup that has

7. B. On Increase

NEW YORK (CNA) -Tubercu-
losis, seemingly on its way out in
the United States, has raised its
head again, and in the Negro
neighborhoods Where living con-
ditions, poverty and starvation are
stark the rapid spread has shock
ed health authorities.
The National Tuberculosis AS
.sociation revealed this week that
deaths from the disease took a ire
mendous jump in 1886, killing al
most 1900 more than in 1885. The
report stated that the increase was
undoubtedly due to the increase
of the depression with the hard
ships, anxiety, low living stan
dards, poor and over-crowded
housing conditions and malnutri-
ton forced upon many who prev
iously were able to maintain their
health"
