Every year 160,000 Americans diF
of tuberculosis, and about l,000,0OA
more drag out wretched lives avoiding*
death from it. In America tubercu
losis is fatal to one person out of ev
ery eight it infects. In Georgia the
death rale is even higher. In fact
it is highest among the negro popula
tion for 66 per cent of the total death
in this state due to tuberculosis i*
among the negro population. This
fact is of great importance to us for
t is this race, which as servants in
our kitchens, as nursemaids and ar
washer women, is our greatest source
of contagion. The high rate of fatalt
ty in this disease is borne where the
burden is heaviest, since people are
afflicted with tuberculosis in inverse
ratio to their income tax and the aiztt
and comfort of the house they live inu
It is a vicious circle of poverty thas
breeds a disease and a disease tha*
breeds poverty ,against which Ameri
ca as a whole has fought n winning
fight and against which Georgia as t*
part of the whole must play her part.
Always the companion of poverty, tu
berculosis will never be extinguished
until nil men and women earn enough
to buy decent food and live under *
decent roof. The end of poverty
far distant; however, and beyond thir
generation. Aid therefore must be*
given immediately and by those most
able to give. All of us can at oner
help to break the deadly grip of the
great white plague by helping an o»

had happened the ten little negroes
were piled on top of each other scram

it for the money.
