Some interesting statistics. compiled
from the records OF the United King
dom Provident. Institution, have been
published in England They cover the
last "a years. and are strong proofs Of
the favorable effect Of teetotalism on
longevity. A section Of this company's
business Is given mp to persons who
are total abstainers. and the death rate
among them is SO much lower that II
has been calculated that where 1920
would have died were they all drink
ers. only 1854 would have died had
they been abstainers. The only ra-
tional explanation is that the result Of
drinking alcohol is to produce gradual
degeneration Of various organs and
tissues so that in course Of time these
are unable TO carry on their functions
or resist the attacks Of disease. It IL
also very significant that this result
becomes noticeable chiefly after the
age Of sixty. Alcohol thus produces
premature decay degeneration. and
old age. The scepter life Office. and
the Abstalners and General have
similar experience on a smaller scale
Indeed, this is becoming so manifest
that only recently a large Office like
the Sun adyertises for total abstainers
and offers to take them at a lower pre-
mium. The experience Of friendly So
cieties is exactly the same The death
rate and sickness rate Of the Recha-
bites and Sons Of Temperance Is con-
slderably below that Of the Foresters
and Oddfellows. notwithstanding that
these contain many abstainers. Thus
the Sons OF Temperance have q death
rate Of 6ik per 1.000 and sick rate Of
7lk days per member per annum, while
the drinking societies average about II
deaths per 900 and II to i2 days Of
sickness.
