THE PRESS AND THE WAR AG AINST CONSUMPTION. A just tribute to the power ant influence of the press is paid b; the Natioual Association for th< Study and Prevention ot' Tuber culosis, when it says that th< newspapers, of all the ageucie< at work, is giving the greates aid in the war being wager against consumption, which dreac disease numbers its victims by the hundreds of thousands in the United States annually; and ii will never be wiped out, says tht Association, until the widespread ignorance concerning it is overcome, hence the inauguration ol rhe present campaign of educa. tion. Some idea of the magnitude of the work being done by rhe newspapers in this country in disseminating literature in re lation to the study and prevention of consumption may be gathered from the fact that the aggregate space devoted thereto averiiges over 25,000 column inches a week, or, ?? the Association expresses it, nearly one-half mile of publicity a week. The .Association has been compiling some statistics on the subject, of which it says: The investigation which the National Association conducted included all of the daily and weekly newspapers throughout the United States as well as some of the larger journals and magazines. In the two weeks which were taken as a standard, it was found that 51,557 column inches of space was devoted to the sub ject of tuberculosis. If all ol tine iu it 11?r were gamereti rogether at one time, it would make a newspaper the ordinary size of 3t>9 puges printed solid, without any advertisements. all on th? subject of tuberculosis. II it were arranged in one u>ug chain, it would make a single column of matter four-fifths of a mile long and two and one quarter inches wide. Continuing the Association says : Within a year's time thiiiisauds ot tons of leaflets, aggregating over one hundred million p ages, are distributed by the various organizations engaged in the warfare against tuberculosis. Hut more than all of these individual agencies, the National Asso.-i.ttion believes that the press i- 'tie greatest means of educating the masses concerning this disease. It the present rate of interest on rhf part of the newspaper world continues, it is estimated that within a lew years every man. woman and child in the I'ni-ed Siates will have learned the sim .- la doctrir.es of tuberculosis.
