ABSTA|NERS
LIVE LONGER
SAYS HUNTER
Than Those Who Drink and He
Gives Some Percentage
Figures.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-"The loss
OF 100000 men as the result of the
present warfare could be made good
In less than ten years through COM
plete abstinence from alcoholic bever-
ages by all the inhabitants of Rus
sia, according to Arthur Hunter, o.
New York actuary. who reported to
the convention of The Association of
Life Insurance Presidents here today
some Of the results of an exhaustive
mortality Investigation Just completed
by the life insurance companies into
100000 insured lives in the past
twenty-five years.
Mr.. Hunter Is chairman of the CEN
trail bureau of the Medico- Actuarial
Committee which had charge Of the
three and one-half year inquiry. The
investigation dealt with the expert
ence Of forty-three OF the leading
companies Of the United States and
Canada in a great many groups OF in
sured persons supposed to have a
higher mortality than the average
among insured lives. While the fund
amental object of the Investigation
was to aid the companies In determ-
lining what risks in the future should
be accepted, rated up, or declined,
Mr.. Hunter said that the results also
could be utilized to lengthen human
life.
Taking up some of the specific re-
suits of the investigation, Mr.. Hunter
said: Nothing has been more con-
clustyely proved than that steady
free use of alcohol beverages, or oc-
casional excuses, proved beyond per-
adventure of doubt that total absti-
nence from alcohol is of value to hui
manity; it is certain that abstainers
live longer than persons who use al
cohol beverages. Among the men
who admitted that they had taken al
cohol occasionally to. excess in the
cred satisfactory when they were In
lsured, there were 2S9 deaths while
there would have been only 100 had
this group been made UP Of insured
lives in general. The extra mortali-
ty was. therefore, over so per cent.
which was equivalent to reduction
in the average life of these men Of
over four years"
One Of the most significant results
Of the investigation, he said. was the
high mortality experienced among
the railroad men. Among locomotive
engineers the mortality was 60 per
cent in excess of that among the
insured on a whole. which is equiv
alent to five years. reduction in the
average life time.
There is a general impression
that saloon keepers do not live as
long as persons in non-hazardous
occupations" he continued. but it
is not generally known that most
classes which are connected with
either the manufacture or sale of
liquor have high mortality. Among
saloon proprietprs, whether they at
tended the barSor not, there was an
extra mortality of 20 per cent; and
the causes of death indicated that
n free use of alcohol beverages had
caused many of the deaths. In the
fourteen subdivisions of the trades
connected with the manufacture or
sale of alcohol there was only one
class which had a normal mortality
and that was the distillery proprie-
tors"

Gayety Not So .Great.

\. WASHINGTON, d. G., Dec. 10
The inclement weather. and the
continued downpour of rain, inter-
fered to a great extent with the usual
gayety that characterizes the "mem-
bers' galleries" in. both House and
Senate this week on their opening
sessions. Many Of the members Of
the families Of both congressman
and senator's were present, but 1t was
not the smartly dressed Sassemblage
that is usually noted on such occa-
sions. Then. too, the habit that has
been formed. from cabinet women
down to wives Of congressman, OF
knitting and doing relief work in
public places, was extended this time
to the presence of a number Of
women. VINO were evidently putting
the finishing stitches on their Christ
mas presents.
Only on one former occasion has
there been evidence of such unusuat
activity on the part of the feminine
members Of the gallery. and that was
when Fitzgerald started the fllibuster
on the Panama tolls act. and then,
motherly looking old woman pro
duced a roll Of knitting and started
in to finish pink shawl, which she
predicted would be completed before
Johnny Fitzgerald finished talking.
Then 1t caused comment, but now,
Washington Is SO used to the sight
of It's feminine population industri-
ously knitting or sewing between the
acts at the theaters, during the NUM-
bers at concert. or even between
dances at the popular the dansante,
that 1t caused little comment.
