IT appears, according to the registra-
ton report of Massachusetts,, that
nearly twice as MANY women as men
in that state live to be o.er 50 years of
age. This is accounted for by the
greater exposure of men to accidents,
to weather agencies. to the constant
strain of business life, to the anxiety
of providing for the family, all of
which tend to shorten the life of men.
The deaths by accident among men
are more than threefold greater
than among women and men
commit suicide in about a three
fold ratio as compared with
women.
