Protect Your Home , from Tuberculosis Tuberculosis Statistics This is the 35th annual Christmus Seal Sale held In the United States. How to prevent and control tuberculosis are parts of the campaign financed by the annual sale of Christmas Seals. The first Christmas Seal Sale was hold In Denmark in 1904, the result of an inspiration of Kinar Holboell, a postal clerk. Miss Emily P. Uissell conducted tho first Christmas Seal Sale in the United States at Wilmington, Del., in 1907. There are almost 1700 tuberculosis associations and 900 smaller committees affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Association in the United States. The tuberculosis mortality rate Is now approximately 47 per 100,000 of the population. In the early 1900's it was close to 200. Thirty years ago tuberculosis was responsible for 11 out of every 100 deaths occurring in the United States. Today it is responsible for less than five out of every 100 deaths. Today tuberculosis is responsible for the death of one Individual every eight and one-half minutes. Thirty years ago deaths occurred at the rate of one every three and one-half minutes. i More than three million men, women and children have died of tuberculosis In the United StateB during the last thirty years. Over two million more would have died during that time if the mortality rate of 30 years ago had continued to prevail. The annual death toll from tuberculosis in the United States would be more than 250,000 If the death rate of the early 1900's still prevailed. Under present mortality conditions, the annual death toll is about 60,000. The tuberculosis death rate among unskilled workers is seven times higher than that among professional workers. Tuberculosis now ranks seventh in importance as a cause of death. It has been forced gradually into this position since 1912, up to which time it had been the first cause of death. There are estimated to be about 500,000 active cases of tuberculosis in the United States. Laennec, the French physician who in 1819 invented stethoscope, died from tuberculosis when he was only 45. Dr. Robert Koch announced the discovery of the germ which causes tuberculosis (tho tubercle bacillus) in 18S2. In 1885' Dr. Edward L. Trudeau built for two of his patients a little red cottage in Saranac Lake, N. Y. This was the beginning of sanatorium treatment for the tuberculous in the United States. Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen announced his discovery of the X-iay on January 23, 1896. There are more than 90,000 beds for the treatment of tuberculosis in the United States. Hospital facilities for the treatment of tuberculosis represent an investment of more than three hundred million dollars, and their annual maintenance cost is more than 170,000,000. The first dispensary in this country devoted exclusively to the treatment of the tuberculous poor was opened in 1904 in New York City. Tuberculosis kills close to 170 people every day In the United States, or one every eight and one-half minutes. Tuberculosis is responsible each year for the death of about 3,000 children under 15 years of age In the United States. Each year tuberculosis claims the lives of more than 30,000 young people between the ages of 15 and 45. The tuberculosis death rate of girls and young women between the ages of 15 and 25 Is one and one-half times that of boys and young men of the same ages. Ono out of every six deaths occurring among young men between the ages of 20 and 40 is caused by tuberculosis. One out of every four deaths occurIng among girls and young women between the ages of 15 and 30 Is caused by tuberculosis. More than half of all the deaths from tuberculosis occur during the important productive years of life?between 15 and 45. Three-fifths of all the deaths from tuberculosis occur before the age of 45. Tuberculosis is still the first cause of death during the age period from 15 to 45, although it has been reduced to seventh in Importance as a cause of death in the entire population.

"Out of his own experience the ''artist conceived the theme of the lighthouse'as the symbol of tuberculosis work. For he himself, soon after he had begun to gain recognition, discovered that he had tuberculosis. The temptation to work while regaining his health was great, says Mr. Dohanos, but ho had learned enough about his disease to teach Mm wisdom. He therefore went to Saranac Lake, N. Y., for treatment and complete rest.
