PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de.
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide.
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that 1t
should be given thorough trial be.
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t Is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex
cessive cost Of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over $2,OO0,O00 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1889 in
1905. and only 14.4S9o in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy.
holders in 1906 amounted to $3.50, ,734,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub.
stantially as 1t stands.

Recreation for WORKING People.

Turning from the more substantial
features of industrial betterment to
what may be called it's lighter, though
not less important side, there are all
sorts of opportunities for recreation. A
large factory or department store has
social life all it's own; there are
clubs, athletic, social, literary and
musical. The sensible outdoor life OF
the English leads to open-air match
games, tennis, bowling, cricket and
swimming for the men, croquet and
tennis for the women. Compulsory
gymnastic exercises are given in the
company's time by physical directors.
Where there is piano in the recrea'

have found a powerful rival in the
latter, for practice ct noon leaves little
time and less inclination for beer or
other stimulants. Dublin, Ireland
Pittsburg and New York may boast
the distinction of roof gardens for en-
ployes. 1t is queer that roofs are not
more frequently used in cities where

A New Typhoid Terror.

Although the discovery of new
sources of danger to health, new car
riers of disease germs, should be an
encouragement to the scientific worker
as tending toward the more accurate
application of preventive measures,
the knowledge that the typhoid infec-
ton Is being carried about in scores
Of supposedly healthy persons will
prove rather alarming. To the medical
profession it is well known, of course,
that the typhoid bacillus sometimes
persists for years in certain portions
of the human anatomy, and that it is
always to be found for time during
convalescence, but the possibility that
healthy and apparently robust indi-
viduals may be carriers of the deadly
germs, and that the arrest and isola-
tion of such carriers" may come to
be part Of the public campaign
against the disease, is comparatively
recent aspect of the question. The
discovery of this added danger should
serve to emphasize the Importance Of
scrupulous care in ascertaining the
health and antecedents of household
servants, says Philadelphia Ledger. In
a particular case that led to the dis
covery Of one aggravated instance Of
typhoid carrier" six persons in
single family developed the disease
within a few days after the arrival Of
new cook. After every other possi-
BILE source of contamination had been
investigated and found guiltless, an
inquiry as to the cook revealed the
startling fact that during the five
years previous at least 26 cases of
typhoid were associated with her serv.
ice in seven different families. She
was detained, and archaeological ex-
animation revealed her to be a chronic
typhoid fever producer.
