KEEP THEM HEALTHY

Free medical examination of policy
holders every five years as a means
OF prolonging human life was sus-
gested to the Association OF Life In
surance Presidents by DR.. Burnside
Foster. editor of the St. Paul (MinnD
Medical Journal and also life in
surance medical examiner.
Such examinations DR.. Foster de
clared. would reveal ne incipient
stages of unsupported diseases that
could be cured or whose progress
would be materially retarded. and ii
woulu thus be possible to add five.
ten or more years to the average
longevity of policyholders. OF course
such examinations could nOt be made
compulsory. but Dr.. Foster Thought
the proposed innovation would be well
COINED by policy holders once they
realized the value and significance OF
il.
This is good scheme provided the
companies do not raise the rate OF
premium on some luckleSs policy
holder that has contracted some di-
sease since his policy was written
and his rate determined upon.

area of the lnyO National Forest has
been affected to some extent. In
many localities the damaged trees
aggregate as high as % per cent OF
the total stand. While these areas
are not large. it is evident that il
something is not done TO curbe the at
tack. much of the timber in that sec
tiOn will be killed.
The pOrcupine feeds to large eX-
tent during the winter months on the
inner bark of the pine. To secure
this he travels about upon the snow
and completely girdles the trees jus;
above the snow line.
of the tree The damage would not
be so serious but for the fact that
the porcupine seldom makes two
meals off the same tree. but prefers
to visit several trees in the course OF
night. Since its habits are nOctur-

cult The attention OF the Forest
Service has been called to the rava
