TURKEY INVITES

BERLIN. Oct. 13.-The dream Of "a

Jews is to be at least partially realized,
according 10 the Constantinopel CORES

The Turkish minister of Pious FouI-

dispatch from the LoSal Anzeigers cor

It is considered noteworthy that the
Turkish minister proposing the scheme

known in modern hygiene, the death
losses at different ages suffered among
insured people would be reduced by
nearly half during the first three de-
cades of life; by about one-third dur
ing the three decades of middle life,
between 80 and 60; and by about one
seventh during the two decades next
later. There seems to be no reason
why large part of this enormous pos
sible saving can not be actually achiev-
ed. The ninth decade plays neg
ligible role. Even If We content our
selves with tie Is per cent improvabil-
ity which applies to the eight decade of
life and assume that this ratio and no
higher applies throughout life, the
improvability of the death rate at any
age at risk is enormous.
According to the plans which |
have in mind, the money which the
life insurance companies would invest
in live-saving would not be in hos
pitfalls or sanatoriums, but in the edu-
cation of the public, and especially
their policyhol 'ers in health matters,
and the joining in every legitimate
way to improve the public health Of
fees and services in the municipal
tues, SUITES dIlu JuS lSucIdl SONcl IL
ment. In this latter way, the result
of the expenditure of money by the
insurance companies would be to in
duce the government to spend much
larger sums, and the money thus IN
vested in behalf of the policyholders
would be multiplied in efficiency sew
eral fold
"Just as fire insurance companies
endeavor to secure in municipalities
adequate fire protection, so life nsur-
ance companies might properly en-
deavor to secure adequate municipal
health protection and they might like
wise bring their influence to bear to
secure the passage of model health
laws by our states in respect to slaugh-
| ter houses, pure food and other health
reforms. 1t is agreed by all Compel
ent judges that there is now great
and needless waste of human life,
and it is obvious that the financial
weight of this waste falls very largely
on the policyholders."
DR.. Fisher suggested that commit
tee of One Hundred On National
Health as an agency through which
the education for hygienic reforms
/ could be conducted.

could, by the adoption of hygienic re-
forms already known and entirely
practicable, be heightened by over
e-third-that is, over Is years.
This calculation has been made very
conservatively. The statistics and
estimates on which it Is based have
been taken from published sources,
as we'll as contributed by some two
score American medical,
actuarial and hygienic.
Tuberculosis is known to be pre-
ventable In my table. it is entered
as rs per cent preventable: pneu-
monia as As per cent preventable;
typhoid as So per cent; dlphther.a, 70
per cent These conservative figures
are among the highest a cd. Many
diseases, such as cancer, are recorded
in the table as zero per cent prevent
able, although the best expert opinion
would allow some degree OF prevent
ability If prevention begi early
enough In life.
ION the basis of these ratios OF pre-
Variability, or rather postponabillty
of death. has been computed the pos
sible extension of the average human
life by savin lives now lost by pre-
ventable diseases. This calculation Is
made on the assumption that those
thus saved from death enjoy as their
new lease of life only the expectation
of life now belonging to their respec-
tive ages. This assumption Is very
conservative, for 1t means that lives
once saved shall receive no further
benefits from improved mortality, but
shall die off at the old rates of NOR
tally.
Even on these safe premises OF par.
tial postponability Of deaths, we mad
that about years of the possiole
lengthening of human life would be
due to the elimination of prevenlab'e
tuberculosis, of year to tne
elimination of preventable typhoid;
s to the elimination of preventaple
diphtheria: g to the elimination of
preventable accidents. 1t is estimat-
ed that at least years could be add
ed to human life by securing reason
ably pure air, water, and milk.
"a different method of calculation
will bring home these figures TO HE
insurance companies. BY working o,g
the ratios of preventability for each OF
the principal causes of death, 1t is
possible to construct an ideal surviv'
orship table which may then be com
