Washington. - Announcement has

in spite of the fact that recent report :
from the armies of France and Eng

were more susceptible to tuberculosis
than those who have not been inocu-

This report from abroad aroused the
war department officials, and an inYcS-

the material side of city growth and
development and look to the mental and
spiritual growth?
