ADD FIVE MORE YEARS TO LIFE
Minnesota's Editor Doctors Plan
to Increase Longevity of
Americans Through Insurance
Companies.

DR.. Burnside Foster, editor of
the st. Paul Medical Journal, is
urging a plan which. he thinks,
would add five years to lives of
millions of men in the United
States, and In time increase the
longevity of the whole nation.
DR.. Foster Is the chief exam
liner in Minnesota for one of the
largest life insurance companies
of the east. He proposes that all
insurance companies adopt a
rule for the denomination of
policy holders every five years.
This frequent medical examina-
lions, he asserts, would indicate
the beginning OF unexpected dis
eases in time to effect cures or
materially retard the progress Of
disease. -
DR.. Foster urges that as the
life insurance business was more
directly concerted with the health
of the people than any other BUSH
ness, the companies form a COM
bination to carry out his SUCCESS
ton.
The denomination, according
to his plan, would be free to pol
icy holders, and the trivial cost,
he said. would be more than bal
anced by the increased premiums
that would result. DR.. Foster
said:
Modern medicine has, above
all, two chief aims-the proven
tfon of disease and the recogni-
ton of it's earliest signs in the in
dividual. Preventive medicine
becomes more nearly an exact
science all the time, and, while
its possibilities are far from be-

MYSTERIOUSLY
MURDERED

That "pipe line" from the po-
lice department informed the gang
of O'Brien's connection with the
arrest of "Sheeny Ben" is the be-
lief of the local police authorities.
A determined effort is being made
today to learn the point Of leak
age.
A sham brawl in a Bowery sa-
loon last night attracted the atten-
ton of Policeman Melan. After
the officer had entered the sa-
loon, O'Brien emerged, and was
met by three men. Stepping
quickly to his side, one of the
men shot O'Brien through the
heart. The murderer escaped
with his companions down an al
ley. He is still at large, though
the police Of Brooklyn are hold
ing man whom they suspect of
the crime.
