The statistical bulletis OF an in
surance company reports that dur
ing the year 1920. out Of nearly
$4,000. 900. in death claims more
than S6,5OO.OO0 were paid for

spite the fact that the death rate
from tuberculosis in 1920 was the
lowest In the history Of the company,
two-hfths below that Of 1911.

bulletin states:
