Alaska decreased by fourteen per

to In-. Krulish. Tuberculosis is
the chief cause of this awful

so contribute to it. The doctor
says that in souni places the
adoption by tile natives of the
ways of the while people is ral ti

original inhabitants but in other j
’^stances the very reverse, is tin-j
fact.
During his recent trip north-,

hot have alb the time lie-would

of the native conditions up there.
The fee condition prevented h

there seems tohe no ’indication
that this will he done at present.
