"The winter and early spring months, the season in which the mor- tality from tuberculosis is always heaviest, have passed with a decline in the-^ath rate among white policy holders of 5.3 per cent, and among intellectual life and Dean Wigmore cojored 0f 2.4 per cent., from the rec and various French, English and Ital ian scholars took up the case of the thinkers and educators of those na- tions. ___ Foster Movement In U.
