LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
AND CONSERVATION OF
HUMAN LIFE.

The great life insurance companies
are becoming practically interested
in preserving and promoting the
health and longevity of their policy
holders. Some have established san
itoriuns for the treatment of chronic
wasting disease. One of the largest
companies has begun the issue Of
q quarterly publication devoted TO
the human conservation problem as
it afetcs life insurance particlarly,
and giving instructions in hygiene and
correct living, together with morbid
ity and mortality statistics, etc.
The great and peculiar value Of the
assistance given by the life-insurance
companies to the human conserva-
ton problem lies in the fact that the
many thousands Of policy-holders are
individuals in the most productive
period of their lives, the men and
women who really carry on the work
of the world. Not only are they, at
the time Of their acceptance by the
insurance companies, in prime physi-
cal condition, but they come from the
more intelligent, educated and thirty |
classes and are, from both eugenic
and economic points of view, the most !
important individuals in their elm
munities. The small percentage Of
increase in life expectation between
80 and 40 and the comparatively
large percentage Of diminution in
life expectancy after the age of 40
call for well-directed eff
forts for the conservation Of lives
during this important period. The
Journal of the american Medical As
sociGtion regards it as an evidence Of b
the wisdom and progressiyeness of
The insurance companies thus to COM
Dine considerations of humanity with
good business policy.

REPORT ON POTASH.

The great interest in the problem
Of finding potash in available form in
the United States and tho demand for
the Governments publications on the
subject have necessitated the reprint
ing Of short report by the United
States Geological Survey on the oc-
currence of potash salts in the brines
and bitterns Of the Eastern states.
The report (Bulletin 530-Bl is the re-
suit Of field work by w. c. Phalen
during the last season, including a
study Of a large number Of salt depos-
its and mines in the Eastern States.
The Bureau Of Soils Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture has co-operated
with the Survey in making analyses
of the brines, and some of the results
show considerable percentages Of pot
ash. The investigation is considered |
Of Importance, it is stated, because
deposits Of potash are likely to be
found III conjunction with those Of
salt. The great German potash de-
losits were discovered by accident, the
Germans being in fact drilling to de-
yelop a supply of common salt, and
he potash salts as brought to the
surface were for considerable time
brown away as useless.-U. s. Geo

PRISONERS HEART THR0BS

Munsterburg's Theory Is Given Prac-
teal Test IN Los angeles Court
Excitement Uunder Strain Writes
Its Record on the Pulse-Meter, and
Smithers Makes a Confession.

Los Angeles, Jan. %. For the first
time in history, it is believed, Hugo
Munsterburg's theory that the pulsa-
tions of the heart indicate the guilt
or innocence of a prisoner was dem
onstrated today in Justice Thomas VI
Cassidy's court in Watts, a suburb Of
this city. The test resulted in the dis
charge from custody Of Arthur
Schmidt, arrested by City Marshal
Traughber on supicion of being an
escaped convict.
When the test begun the heart reg
istered 70 beats minute, about nor

name, hesitated several seconds, DUE
ing which time his heart action jump

He gave his name as James Smithers.
After the pulsation has been recor-
ded by Marshal Traughber, the pris.
oner by asked by Justice Cassidy if
he was telling the truth. He hesitat-
ed. He was shown the record Of the
increased pulsation, whereupon he
admitted he was telling an untruth.
Finally he said he was Arthur
Schmidt, Of Seattle.
Efforts were made by Justice Cas-

capped convict. The names Of Califor-

sor. In one group are the dishonest
manufacturers, the food adulterators,
the whisky blenders, and the fraudu-
lent patent medicine promoters; those
interests that are praying on the
people through fraud and misrepre-
sentation in various ways. In the
other group ere the people Of the Uni
ted States, and the honest manufac-
tlirers. Which Of these groups will
be kept in mind in the selection of the
man2 The newspapers announced
that President Taft Immediately tel
egraphed to the leading universities
asking for suggestions as to the right
man to succeed Wiley. This looks as
though the President We're anxious
to get the right man. But the right
man in this case need not necessarily |
be the best chemist in The country.
What is needed is man who is
fundamentally honest; who has the
good Of the public and not the in
,erests at heart; one, above all, who
las honest convictions and has the
courage to carry out such convictions.
But will the President dare to ask
iuch man to take position in which
le will be surrounded with the re-
trictions that made Wiley consider
nearly useless? No self-respecting
nan, no man who is thoroughly quail
fed in every way for the position, /
yould accept it under present condi-
ions. There must be further
hange in the personnel of those who
re presumed to enforce the Food and
'rugs Act than simply the elinina-

Dictated; I've come back able to lool,

was always afraid Of, sitting in my
lonely cell in prison, that I might not
be able to clear myself"
This was The expression Of joy and
satisfaction Of Oscar Kruger, dec
orative plasterer, who from cell in
the Atlanta penitentiary, where he
had served eleven months of an eigh-
teen months sentence before his in
noeence could be established, has re-
turned to his home here to gather his
family together and begin life anew
When his friends learned that Pres
ident Taft had pardoned him on the
belief of officials Of the department
of justice that he had,not written the
offensive letter on which he was con
victed through evidence produced by
Anthony ComstoclS, Krueger's friends
prepared for his Homecoming.
At 312 Eost 125th street, where his
wife and family have been living with
the wife's brother, Kruger found an
elaborate breakfast waiting. The Ia
bic was decorated with flowers and
surrounded by friends who had never
lost faith in him.
But the man who had suffered
wrongfully had no hard word for An
thony Comstock, head Of the Society
for the Suppression Of Vice, who
prosecuted the case against him.

an anonymous letter. Under instruc-

the letter, saying she would meet the
writer the next afternoon at Fourth

story, he passed on his way to the

him and when he smiled in return she !
asked him If he were ed"
At first he said no, but after a
while, laughingly, said he was. When
she spoke Of the letter signed ed"
he also admitted he had written it.
He showed his bank book and in this
way was traced by Comstoek, who
caused his arrest.
Comstock and the young woman
we're the only witnesses for the gov
eminent at the trial, which lasted less

how serious his situation was until
he was convicted.
