SEX AND LONGEVITY.

Woman Has the Better Of Man In the
Term Of Life.
IL r. a well known fact. proved over
and over again In vital statistics, that
the term OF life OF women Is slightly
longer than that Of men. Just why
this is 20 has never been explained sat
isfacforily. One fact. however, IS clesr.
and that is that during early years fe-
males possess a greater tenacity Of life
than do males.
The difference OF the mortality rates
during the first few years OF life Il
striking During the 6nst year the
mortality among males Is decidedly
greater than among females.
Although more boys are born than
girls. the proportions are reduced to al
most even terms at the end OF the frst
year By the excessive male mortality.
Even during the FIRST four years the
mortality among males exceeds that
among females. Notwithstanding the
fact that there are practically no dis
tinctions made IN the management OF
the two sexes. Both are subject to the
same conditions. are dressed virtually
the same and receive the same food
At the age OF about Eve years the
comparative death rate among girls be-
gins to increase This has been at
tribufed to the fact that boys Of this
age are more In the open air. The
mortality in both sexes diminishes
nom this time until the twelfth year.
when Il attains its lowest point Il
then steadily rises. being larger in each
successive year Between the twelfth
and sixteenth years the death rate
among girls increases more rapidly
than among boys. but after the six
teenth year for several years the rate
Of increase Is more rapid on the male

You viii naturally Inquire how the
second Natioanl Bank is protected in
case John Smith had not sufficient
! money on deposit there TO cover that
| check when the institution had al
| ready settled for II at the clearing
house, for some folks have a habit
OF drawing checks when they have not
the money ON deposit
In such cases the Second National
Bank win send John Smiths check
back 10 your bank by messenger with
the information that II Is mot good" ,"
ana at once the amount will be paid
the messenger in cash, for each clear
ing house bank stands responsible for
every item that bears its rubber
stamp Endorsement As 10 how they
settle such unfortunate circumstance
with you personally depends upon
their individual practice, some banks
charge such mot good" items direct
ly against the customers account,
Ike any other charge, and some send
them to the customer by hand and
nave the item settled in cash,
The second item on your deposit
slip was a check for $50, drawn on
the Central Bank of Streator, Ill.
This is necessarily handled somewhat
differently, for there Is no national
clearing house and for geographical
reasons there never can De one.
The check will be turned over by
the receiving teller to the correspond
ence desk, from whence ii is sent out
by mail or express TO such correspond
ent as your bank may have nearest
to the point upon which il is drawn.
All banks have correspondents in the
large cities, such as Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Boston and such like, and ex-
tend their chain of correspondents in
accordance with the volume of their
business, so that a bank like the Ma
tonal city Bank in New York will
have a correspondent in every city Of
any size in the United States.
If your bank should have a CORES
pondent In Streator. The check will, Of
course, be sent directly there for col
lection. II it has not, the correspond
ence desk would send It to their near
est connection, which would probably
be Chicago. The Chicago bank would
again forward it TO their nearest cor
responding point, until 1t would even
tually reach the bank upon which it
is drawn.
Presuming that it was good and was
paid, the various banks through
whose hands 1t had passed would re-
port back the fact of payment, until
such information reached your bank,
when the amount less expenses or
exchange" as 1t Is designated would
be credited to your account only in
some instances is the amount of such
collections RENTED in
cash or in draft on a New York bank.
l. is the practice of many country
banks to keep a balance on deposit
with their correspondents in New
York and other large cities and to
simply report the payment of times
sent them for collection. Their cor
respondent then charges the item for
which the country bank has received
the cash against their account and
'redits 1t to your account.

are saved all this trouble, for your

post office settles with the bank In

The last item on your deposit was
an express money order that had been
sent to YOU from san Francisco. Your
debtor In that far-away city had paid

Should the out-of-tOwn items not be
through the same channels through
which they We're sent out, and the ex-
pense is quite as much as though they
were collected for they go through
the same routine.
When one considers the number of
hands and Institutions through which
such an out-Of-toWn check may pass,
the matter of expense for postage and
sometimes for carfare, it will be evil

for exchange" on out-ot-town checks,

ice.
The third item In your deposit was

office. If YOU took it there yourself,

size you would be asked to identify
