GLOW Abstinence Pays" is the title of a
little pamphlet received recently by the
Herald. Their author attempts to show,
and he does show, that abstinence from
intoxcants pays higher dividends in health,
wealth and happiness than any other form
OF self-denial. Especially interesting are
the mortuary tables taken from the report
of a life insurance actuary who has made
careful study of the subject. Comparisons
are made, not between excessive drinkers
and total abstainors, for excessive drinkers
cannot secure life insurance, but between
total abstainers and moderate drinkers.
The table shows, for the cases lnvesti'
gated, that the deaths among moderate
drinkers between the ages OF twenty and
thirty years were heavier by eleven per
cent. than among the total abstainers. Be
tween thirty and forty years OF age the dit.
ference in favor OF the total abstainers was
siXty.eight per cent. Between fifty and
sixty the abstainers were forty.two per
cent better off, and between sixty and sew.
enty the difference was nineteen per cent.
The figures show conclusively, therefore,
that the man who drinks not at all has a
far better chance to arrive at mature years
than the man who drinks moderately. The
small percentage of difference between the
ages of twenty and thirty years Is ac-
counted for that the habit of drinking,
even in moderation, can hardly be said to
be fixed until after the individual has
passed the age of thirty years. But even
then there was a difference.
1t will be generally conceded, we be.
lieve, that the average mans period OF real
usefulness and influence, his greatest ca.
pacity for work, lies between the ages OF
thirty and sixty years. 1t viii be noted
that the average OF deaths of non-drinkcrs
during those years is sixty-one and one
third per cent. less than among moderate
drinkers. That is to say, out OF every 100
deaths OF men between the ages of thirty
and sixty years something like sixty.three
are moderate drinkers and thirty-seven are
total abstainers, proportion OF not far
from two to one.
There are enough other reasons why men
should not drink at all, but these figures
are more illuminating than anything OF the
kind we have recently come across.-Sait
