Health and Profits.

Prof Irving Fisher of Yale has been
suggesting to the life insurance COM
panies that they establish a depart
ment of health as means of pro-
longing the life of their policy holders
and thus of increasing their own
profits.
But there is danger in such a propo-
sition. Besides being an unwarranted
Interference with personal liberty, they
might eventually bring about such a
condition of health as to remove all
that fear of death which constitutes
the chief urge of life insurance.
1t would be much better if the life
insurance companies could invent a
portable and well-disciplined diseasa
which the agents could carry around
with them but not Use until the pros
pective victim absolutely refused to
yield to the ordinary Establishments.
The disease should be so constructed
that it could readily be withdrawn as
soon as the victim capitulated.
