HEIGHT AND WEIGHT.
Their Relation to q Mans Chances For
Long Life.

Their Relation to q Mans Chances For
Long Life.
The ideal insurance risk, from the
point Of view Of height, is said to be
from FIVE feet seven inches to five feet
nine inches tall. According to the Ma
tional Fraternal congress, longevity
and build have a close relation; the
greater the variation in height from
the above figure the greater the risk
Brockbank says that tall men are
not so long lived as their brothers
whose heads are nearer to the ground
Men who are both tall and stout are
not as good risks as stout men Of me-
dium or below medium height. says q
writer In American Medicine. They do
not bear acute illness so well, and ac-
cidents to them are likely to be more
severe.
Risks over the allotted limit OF
weight are especially liable to dia-
betes, heart affections, apoplexy, govt,
diseases Of the kidneys and arterio-
sclerosis; excessive eating and abuse or
alcohol are, common among this class.
1t is stated that stout men under forty
are worse risks than those over forty
and under sixty, and that men who
were undnly fat while they were boys
are considered poor risks, especially II
the tendency is hereditary.
Stout men are better average Risks
