Women to Fight Tuberculosis. One million women, representing cities, towns, villages and isolated rural settlements in every section of the country, are to-day enlisted in a campaign against tuberculosis, according accord-ing to a statement issued by the National Na-tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In legislatures, legis-latures, in congress at Washington, in society gatherings, in churches and clubs, through speaking and writing in every possible way, the women of the country are persistently fighting consumption. With an organization established in every state of the country, under the direction of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and with associated clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands, Porto Rico and the canal zone, the women of the country have entered a systematic crusade to carry the message mes-sage of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis into every American home.
