An Anti-Tuberculosis Association can be even more effective by insisting on the enforcement of local or municipal laws, such, for instance, as those requiring physicians to register all cases of tuberculosis, obliging cities to build and maintain tuberculosis hospitals and dis- pensaries, and forbidding spitting in public places.It is also possible for an Association to do good work along the line of urging ample appropriations for the maintenance of munici- pal hospitals, dispensaries, nurses, open air schools ami the Health Department. COOPERATION.One of the most important things for an As- sociation to cultivate is hearty cooperation with the health authorities, relief agencies, and the various civic bodies.It should always bear in mind that each of these agencies is necessarily looking at the tuberculosis problem from a different point of view, which, while it may not coincide with the point of view of the Associa- tion, is nevertheless worthy of the most thought- ful consideration.Toleration is a valuable char- acteristic and the Association that possessess it will find it comparatively easy to cooperate with others.
