recto1s have been working on static
ties running over period OF several
years and from the records of a large
number OF life companies several have
come to look upon total abstainers as
a class who live longer than the mod
crate drinkers as class
There are 4 number of details to
work out before the policies in con-
temptation are actually offered to the
public one of these is the danger that
Il man who is a total ;ibstainer when
he takes out the policy may become a
drinker in the future. II is believed
however. that this problem can be
solved either by requi:i ing applicants
TO take the pledge and providing that
violation of it shall annul The inSur-
ance policy: or by provision that if
the man should become drinker tn"
amount payable under the policy
should be reduced.
