Of four distinct races. The earliest to
live In the islands were a race OF
very low type, populatlng the entire
archipelago. These little negroes, or

them live now in the mountains OF

The fat man is a bad risk as heretofore. The ideal investment for the insurance company is the active, heavy man who walks, rides and swims: takes exercise and is muscular. There is no senti- ment in this conclusion. It is the re- suit of twenty years compilation of sta- tistics and is the pronouncement of the cold-blooded actuary. The cause of the lean mans fall from first place is that the years have demonstrated that he ''is nervous, worries and gets tubercu- losis."
 Still, the lean man has his advantages in tl.is weather.
