Health and Profits.

Prof Irving Fisher OF Yale has been
suggesting 10 the life insurance com.
pGlies that they establish a depart.
ment of health ms a 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 unwarTanted
interference with personal liberty. they
might eventually bring about such a
condition Of health as 10 remove all
that fear OF death which constitutes
the chief urge OF life insurance.
II would be much better II the life
insurance companies could invent a
portable and weli-dIsclplined disease
which the agents could carry around
with them but not use until the pros
pective victim absolutely refused Ia
yield to the ordinary Establishments
The disease should be so constructed
that II could readily be withdrawn az
soon as the victim capitulated.

ALCOHOL UNNECESSARY.
Strong Testimony Of a British Army
officer.

A recent issue Of tho British Med
lcal Journal contains the text OF
valuable paper by Lieut. Col. A. N.
Davies. r. a. NJ. C.. on the subject of
the influence OF alcohol in the naval
and military services and read nt one
Of the meetings OF the British Medical
association at Sheffield. In the course
OF an exhaustive examination OF the
case, Col Davies sid: From the
preceding summary there appears 10
be no doubt whatever that alcohol il
unnecessary In any form. or In any
quantity, under any circumstances that
may occur in military affairs" The
colonel explains that this observation
applies only TO the use OF the drug
by healthy men. A generous tribute
was given TO the work OF tho II. A. T.
A.. which. in the opinion OF Col.
Davies, has done. and will do. more
than anything else to increase the
health and efficiency OF body and mind
among soldiers.

subject and appearing in the same
number OF the journal is entitled The
Feeding OF the Soldiers in Barracks.

day the eyes Of our country will be
opened to that fact. We women have
simply formed ourselves into a band
Of leaders and we hope soon TO see our
way clear to the voting booth.
Our struggle commenced in humble
little mass meetings on the street.

into the desire to do greater things

leaders who thought out the plan to
talk to the members Of parliament by
having two OF the women chain them

the idea that the fight was a deter
