DRINKERS A BAD RISK.
Life Insurance Experts Agitate the
Plan of New
Policy.

Actuaries of leading life insurance
companies declare that Investigations
carried on in this country and abroad
show that drinking men are such haz-
ardous risks that new form policy
should De adopted governing their
case.
In SO years the deaths number 81
691 drinkers. as against 1886 abstain
ers of men between the ages of 20 and
20. The conclusion of the actuaries
is that teetotalers. as class, live from
20 to so per cent longer than moderate
drinkers as a class
There has been during the last year
an unusual amount of discussion by
leading physicians in England and
France on the value of alcohol as a
drug and its dangers as a beverage,
and there is now on record a volumi-
nous mass of testimony on the ques-
ton which is not only of the highest
scientific character, but also free from
the prejudice which stultifies most of
the prohibition literature. These con-
illusions may be summed up thus:
In certain bodily conditions and
when carefully administered alcohol is
a valuable drug, but at present It is
used too freely, and consequently with
harmful results. Its use as a daily
beverage in any form is pronounced to
be dangerous. physically and morally.
GAit was found that the death rate
even among moderate drinkers of the
FIRST class is much larger than among
Sotal abstainers. This finding was
reached from statistics covering 125 DOC
lives in a period Of 81 years. In insur-
ance phrase, however. it was found that
"non-abstainers are good average lives,
generally equal to the best accepted
standards" but total abstainers showed
marked superiority throughout the en-
tire working years of the life of both
sexes.
Thus from the age of 40 70 that of
So which Is regarded by Insurance
men as the prime OF life," there were
6.246 deaths among total abstainers
and 1851 among moderate drinkers
an excess of "a per cent. in one decade
Between the ages of 20 and 80 the ex.
cess was IL per cent. from 80 to 40 II
was 6S per cent, from so to GO, AZ per
cent, and from GO to 20. 10 per cent.
During the three decades from 80 "a
so years Of age, is the time when most
persons carry life insurance, and when
the profits are earned and accumulated
1t is evident, therefore, say insurance
experts. that those in the total absti
nence department, where losses are sc
much smaller, stand better chance oi
profitable returns. In other words
with what the total abstainer saves In
money by not drinking and gains IN
insurance II is clear that he is far bet
ter off financially than his brother Of
the moderate drinking class.

DISEASES Or SMOKERS.
The Penalty Which Is Paid for thu
Excessive Use of To-
. bacco.

Smoking to excess leads to some OF the
most serious diseases to which the eyes
are subject. One of the mildest OF these
has color blindness as a result, and 1t
may be traced to the fact that those suf-
tering from it gradually cease to rec
ogniZe varying tints, until they can make
out blue only. At last, if the disease Is
unchecked, they lose perception OF that
nolor also.
Tobacco "amblyopia" is a further de-
yelopment of the same trouble, in which
the sufferer ceases to distinguish form,
as well as color, and excessive smokers
of heavy black twist are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to this. Sailors smoke such
twist largely. and its use has even been
held to account for collisions at sea, be-
cause the lookout men were under its
influence. Persistence in this habit may
leaG to total blindness.

ARSENIC IN BEER.
Remarkable Case of Poisoning in Eng
land Warning to Drinkers
in This Country.

TWO years ago an epidemic OF wha
was thought to be acute rheumatism
but later proved to be neuritis. ap
peared in Lancashire and Yorkshir,
counties of England. The death.
which occurred attracted much atten.
ton, and the government appointed s
commission of experts to determin.
the causes. 1t was finally traced to the
beer used. The Sulphuric acid used in
the preparation of brewing sugar was
made from pyrites, and this contained
large quantities of arsenic. Several
large firms which supplied the brew
ers with sulphuric acid and glucose
were sued for damages, and eventual
ly failed. Several analyses made by
chemists of invert sugar, which was
used by the brewers, were found to
contain one and one-half grains to
nine grains of arsenic per pound
principally of arSenious oxide Per
gallon of beer this amount varied from
one and one-half to three grains. Be
fore these facts were understood al
least 10000 people were complaining
or symptoms which were treated as
chronic alcoholism, cirrhosis of the
liver, and neuritis. For a long time
disturbances of the heart had been
noticed, which were ascribed to alco-
hol. The malt which was used was
dried by gas coke. This was found to
contain arsenic, which was directly
deposited in the malt Coke was used
for this purpose because of its cheap
ness. One of the large firms which
had made brewing sugar from pyrites
also manufactured a table syrup from
the same substance, which contained
equally large quantities of arsenic

pound of syrup; the whole stock.

DR.. Newsholine, of Brighton, Eng
land, discussed the effects of the use
of alcohol on the prosperity of insur-
ance sickness societies among artisan
clubs. He found two of the most i'm
portant factors of the sickness and
mortality of these clubs were tuber-
culosis and alcoholism. Twelve psr
cent. OF the funds of these societies
was expended upon cases of tuberco-
losis. The sickness that came from
alcoholism was ascribed to so many
causes that no deductions could be
made. 1t was found in the mortality
lists that over 80 per cent was direct
ly attributed to the use of alcohol. lie
argued that moderate drinking in al.
most any degree diminished longevity
and increased sickness rates.
