FACTS ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS
1888

The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation is the official anti-tubercul-
osis Association and conducts the
organized fight against the disease.
The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation is the Christmas Seal agency
for the State of Maryland.
There are 1900 tuberculosis asso-
Citations and 1900 smaller commit
tees affiliated with the National Tu-
berculosis Association in the United
States.
The tuberculosis death rate in
Maryland has been reduced from
2O4.1 per 100000 people to 1876
per 100000 since the Christmas Seal
sales were commenced.
tuberculosis ranks seventh as a
over the complete span of life.
Tuberculosis is the greatest cause
of death between the ages of IS and
As, the most productive period of
life.
1884 people in Maryland died of
tuberculosis last year.
It has been estimated that there
are approximately nine active cases
of disease for each annual death.
The annual toll from tuberculosis
in the United States would be $780,
900 if the death rate of the early
19OO's still prevailed. Under present
mortality conditions the annual
death toll is about 10000.
Tuberculosis is responsible for the
death of about 1000 children under
Is years of age in the United States
each year.
Each year tuberculosis claims the
lives of 10000 yong people between
the ages of Is and 45.
The death rate of unskilled work
ers is about seven times as high as
that of professional workers.
There are estimated to be more
than 100000 active cases of tuber-
culosis in the United States today.
The average cost per case of each
person afflicted with tuberculosis is
$4,000.
The approximate cost of the treat
ment of tuberculosis to the tsxpay-
ers of the nation is three-quarters of
a billion dollars a year.
Four groups must be concentrated
upon to reduce the havoc caused by
this disease. They are; men in in
dustry, young women, Negroes of
all ages, and adolescent school
children.
Among the activities maintained
by the Maryland Tuberculosis Asso-
citation to- eradicate tuberculosis are;
the Miracle House, statewide sys-
tenn of free chest clinics, medical re-
search, health education, the pur-
chase of necessary diagnostic equip
ment, clinic for instructing color
ed physicians lin tuberculosis dia-
gnosis, x-ray and tuberculin testing,
and the organization of member
agencies in the counties.

BABY BOND SALES
PROVE EXPENSIVE
Collecting Social Security
Taxes Requires 1.4 Per
Cent OF Income.

Records of the House Appropriations
Committee. which yesterday reported
. $1,515.552.286 Treasury-Post ONCE
supply bill for the 1899 fiscal year,
disclose that the administration ac-
tivities of selling baby bonds and
collecting social security taxes are
expensive.
Edwin L. Kilby, assistant commits
sioner of the Treasury's public debt
service, who feels that the baby bonds
"create an interest in Government"
told the committee that the bond
program had cost about $3.606,870
from 1885 to 1887 and would cost
approximately $6,095,000 during the
next two years.
The social security taxes cost the
Treasury Sl.44 for every $100 COL
lected, the most expensive tax the
Federal Government lets, Frederick
I. Evans. budget officer of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, told the COM
fnittee, but he added that the bureau
hopes to save $4.000.000 a year by
having the social security tax returns
hled on a quarterly instead of q
monthly basis.
Morgenthau Offers Defense.
Secretary Morgenthau offered the
committee a bristling defense of the
manner in. which the Treasury is
handling the social security funds.
which, he said, are handled just like
all retirement funds for Government
employees.
The high cost of selling baby
bonds was attributed to the expense
of advertising and other promotion
and to the detailed bookkeeping neces-
STATED by the law prohibiting any
one person from acquiring more than
$4,000 worth of the bonds in year.
The committee cut S500,000 from
the request for funds to advertise
the bonds. 1t also reduced by $l40,-
100000 the s5Oo,O00,00O proposed as
the annual item for the old-age re-
serve account and eliminated $20,-
100000 subscription to the paid-in
surplus of the Federal Land Banks,
q $15C00,oOO fund for the refunds of
processing taxes and 81 ,000,000 SUB
scription to the capital stock Of the
United States Housing Authority.
Reimbursements for Interest.
The committees larger increases
we're $8,700,000 to reimburse Federal
Land Banks and the Fedora! Farm
Mortgage Corp. for reduction in
interest on farm mortgages, $4,000, 900
for refunds of internal revenue taxes
and sl,7O0,000 for salaries and ex-
penses of the Bureau of Engraving.
For the Post Office Departments
share in the appropriation-s789, $780,
$50. slight increase over the cur
rent years s784,748,053-the commit
tee recommended substantial increases
in some items over the Budget Bu-
reau estimates, including $1,000. 900
for domestic airmail. The depart
ment figures that its income for the
coming year would be s775,000,000.
The committee also approved an
item of $789,687 for the Coast Guard
to purchase two new harbor patrol
boats and three amphibian planes
Other information found in the
committee hearings on this bill is
that the quality of liquor being drunk
by United States citizens is improv-
ing, and that shaking hands with a
1eper is not dangerous-it takes four
years to catch the disease.

Timber SaLUdging Work

Salvaging of timber in the Big Lake

out. The statement is made that the
settlers have offered to improve this
road at their own expense.
Supervisor Ray Harmon of the Su-
perior National Forest, who claims to
be perfectly neutral on the subject, says
he must obey orders sent him by the
higher-upS in the department. The
local forest officials are also compelled
to obey orders given them by their
superiors They feel deeply the hard
ships of the settlers and think that a
petition to Secretary Wallace will bring
results
The primitive area" idea is being
advanced by residents of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and several other states who
have exerted their influence on the
department and especially since the
road situation has become acute in the
past two years, it is said by those who
should be in a position to know. The
assertion is also made that several of
those most rabid in the advocacy of the
wild life ideas have never visited this
section or the sections they propose to
segragate for "posterity" and are taking
their orders and getting their infor-
nation from outside interest not in
the sections affected.
The same fight was made on the
Ely-Finland road, now Highway No l.,
until it was shown to the state board
that the settlers between here and the
North Shore road would be trapped in
case of fire. The then Governor Burn
quist and Auditor Preus came to the
rescue of the petitioners and used their
| influence to have the road, secured
through donation by the ST. Croix
Lumber company, improved.
