THE NATIoN's PENSIONERS.


T HIS GREAT COUNTRY Of ours
surely deals generously with those
who fight its battles. The report Of
Pension Commissioner Ware, which
was filed the other day. shows that no
veteran of any war in which the United
States has ever engaged need fear that
his honest claims will not be given
scrupulous attention. The roll of pen
sioners is a long one and, though Com
missioner Ware believes it has reached
its highest point, it is quite possible
that when the Spanish war claims
have all been adjudicat-d, the list win
be longer
At present there are 996,545 names on
the rolls. These include veterans
themselves, their widows and their de-
pendent children. It is interesting to
know that there are five pensioners Of
the revolutionary war. 1t would be
more interesting to know who they are
and something about them. The revo-
lutiOnary war was ended in the early
eighties Of the eighteenth century. We
are now in the twentieth. 1t is. Of
course. impossible that any man who
saw actual service in that memorable
conflict is alive today.
II such AN one was in the service at
y years Of age he would now be 1874
years old. IF the pensioners referred
to are widows Of veterans. even though
their husbands We're very old and they
were very young at the time of the
marriage, they must be far advanced in
years. In a few years, at most. there
VIII be no pensioners Of the revolu-
tionary war. The number of pensioners
on account of the war Of 1912, LIS. is
also surprising. It is nearly 100 years
since that war ended. so that in all
probability not a single soldier who
fought in it is now living. Nor can
there be any dependent children.
Nearly three-quarters Of a million Of
the soldiers Of the civil war are on the
pension rolls. Widows and dependents
aggregate nearly 100000 more. The av-
erage annual pension is now s133. and
the cost per capita is S1.75 which is
not a very serious drain, after all
Since the revolution the United States
has paid out in pensions the enormous
sum Of S3,O3S, 623, $50. That is A little
less than S38 for every man, woman
and child in the United States. esti-
mated on a basis of sO,OOO,O0O popula-
ton.
Commissioner Ware makes some rec
concentrations that are worthy Of at
tention. He would pass laws forfeiting
the pensions OF those convicted of in
famous crimes, prohibiting the giving
Of pensions to women who marry sol
diers after they have become old pen
sioners and to make the examinations
Of applicants more satisfactory.

NEW narNEs TO THE FRONT.

THE DEVELOPMENTS in the Tintic
district during the past few weeks
have been among the most encouraging
features Of mining operations in Utah
for years. Not only do they insure the
continuance Of successful mining in the
old camp; they demonstrate the exist
ence of permanent, rich ore bodies in
ground that has hitherto been an un-
known quantity
Moreover. the addition of a heavy ton
mage TO ore shipments from the district
means an increase i'm the volume Of
business in every line dependent upon
the mines for prosperity. Unless indica-
tons are misleading. # viii not be very

stockholders for development work

Few outside the mining operators
know how much money has been ex-
pended i'm primary development work
IN the great camps of the state. and
few know how much it means to the
mining interests of the state at this
iuncture to have this outlay justified
by ore discoveries. When some Of the

a LIFE INSURANCE VICTORY.

T he STORY Of the aged insurance
L policy holder published in yester-
days papers. in which it was told how
o. centenarian, on his Tooth birthday.
received congratulations from the com
pany, is interesting because it shows
that for once congratulations have
gone to the right party. For, be it
known, this ancient gentleman has
found a way Of getting the better Of a
life insurance company IN a perfectly
legitimate way without dying.
His policy, we are told, has a face
value Of $1,000. He took it out some
sixty years ago. when, in the ordinary
course Of human events and according
60 the most celebrated actuaries. he
could hardly hope to live more than
twenty or twenty-five years longer.
But the insured in this case surprised
the actuaries. The chances are he has
outlived all OF those who passed on his
case BY the same token he has kept
on paying premiums on that policy
until now he has paid out just s., 1920,
which is $239.2O more than its face.
Here. though, IS where he gets the
laugh on the company. BY a system
OF dividends he has been paid S5,765. %
and his heirs win get the original $1,000
I'm addition when he dies. If he ever
dies. So the thing is simple enough
for everybody to be guided by. If you
want 10 get even with your insurance
company. just keep on living. Live to
the age Of 100 and the company win
send you congratulations; live to be $50
property OF the corporation. Don't be
So foolish AZ to die for any. reason
whatever; under no circumstances per-
init yourself to shuttle off and YOU can't
help winning.
OF course. though, YOU must keep UP
your premiums in the meanwhile. That
is a little formality that any company
is harsh enough TO insist on.

SALT LAKES VISITORS

LEW GUESTS have been as welcome
1 IN Salt Lake as the newspaper men
who came in yesterday and are to be
here until tomorrow morning. They
come to attend the Irrigation congress
and incidentally to see the "arid" west
for themselves. Without great wealth
or station. they probably WELD a great
er influence than any group of the
same number that ever visited the city.
The newspapers and press associations
they represent include practically
every daily publication in this country.
ana their reports go to the entire read
ing public OF the United States. That
their observations will he read by mil
Hons is literally true, and that the re-
suit must be for good to the west. and
particularly TO the intermountain re-
gion, goes without saying.
Aside from this, however, the guests
Of the day are welcome for themselves.
They are typical newspaper men, the
best in their profession, Of the kind who
yerve the public honorabIy and eff
,iently, using the tremendous power in
heir hands for the public good at all
lines. The Herald wishes them a pleas
ant profitable time in the city. and as
sures them every citizen OF Salt Lake
Is their host while they are here.

Of training through which Mr.. Low
went
He had tried for the same result once
before but was forced to quit in dizzi-
ness and exhaustion after he had
reached a point little over 100000
pounds. On that occasion Mr.. Low
trained on two meals a day. He
changed his system in preparation for
the second attempt. 1t is described in
Physical Culture for September as fol-
lows:
During the two months training
Mr.. Low lived during the first FIVE
weeks on only one meal daily, consist
ing Of three eggs, one-half loaf OF
whole wheat bread fruit. either. or
anges, grapes, apples or bananas,
cereals and nuts. and one glass Of milk
after the meal; also plenty OF cooled
distilled water during the day. As an ex-
pertinent he ate meat twice during the
first five weeks, and found he could do
just as well without it. The last three
weeks he lived on four meals weekly,
consisting OF the same diet as the five
weeks previous. At 10 o'clock in the
morning on the day that the lift was
made he increased the eggs to six.
also somewhat increased the bread;
otherwise the meal consisted Of the
same allowance"
Isn't there food for thought in this?
Here is a man preparing himself for a
supreme test Of physical endurance
who eliminates meat from his diet. who
lives for five weeks on one meal a day
and for three weeks on four meals a
week. If the average individual had to
get along on one meal a day he would
consider himself very much injured.
Most OF Us eat at least three meals a
day, and some of us eat four. Then we
wonder why our stomachs go back on
us"
If one meal a day is enough for an
athlete, why shouldn't it be enough for
the plain business or professional MANI
Wouldn't it be a good thing for every
body TO give their abused stomachs a
chance to rest now and then2

AN ATHLETES TRAINING.

A NEW YORK ATHLETE. Gilman
Il Low, recently accomplished the re-
markable feat of lifting more than
100000 pounds in less than an hour. u
is said that the actual time spent i'm
lifting was Just thirty-rour minutes
and thirty-dve seconds. Mr.. Low used
"a scale arrangement by which every
muscle I'm his arms. legs and back was
brought into play. Every time he lifted
a beam under which ne stood ne raised
LOCO pounds Of dead weight.
one thousand and six times the ath-
lete did this, making his total lift COS.
600 pounds An account Of the feat
says that, though he lost more than
five pounds in weight during the exhi-
bition, he was not in any great dis
tress when he finished. But an even
more interesting feature Of the affair
than the lifting itself was the course
