! DISEASE STILL DEATHS I
. MOST POTENT WEAPON !

From the Houston Post,

From the Houston Post.
Much has been written during the past
great war upon the great life insurance
companies. The larger old line companies
of New York do a worldwide business:
They have been long established in all
the belligerent countries and it was nat
ural to suppose that the tremendous NOR
tally Of the battlehelds, prisons and hos
pitfalls would tremendously increase death
losses.
Some writer's believed that the com
panies would be sorely pressed to meet
these obligations whose payments were
been no pressure at all. Indeed. II we
can take the statement OF one Of the COM
panies. the New York Life, as an average
experience OF the great companies, the
war has not affected American COM
panies at all.
The New York Life shows by compari-
son that whereas the death losses of 1912
We're IS per cent of the expected" in 1914
and 1915 the death losses were only e per
cent of the expected"
These figures are given for 1915: 4a
policy holders killed in war, AS killed by
accident. 7O7 died of cancer ~ died Of
pneumonia and $50 died of tuberculosis.
Thus We see that a world wide war can
not displace the three greatest enemies of
human life. They maintain their rank, in
peace or war.
We learn from these figures two import
ant lessons. namely, war, with all its ter
rors. does not decimate the population Of
the world as heavily as does tuberculosis,
pneumonia, cancer and other dread dis
cases. In other words. all the guns of
the great powers served with the maxi
mum skill and determination can not de-
stroy life as fast as the Great White
Plague and it's allies do.
Pulmonary diseases and cancer know no
truce. In every day of the year and In
every moment of the day, its pallid vic
TINS fall in every portion Of the globe.
Science has been unable to conquer them.
They defy all human power. They recog-
nize no boundaries. They respect neither
palace nor hovel.,. About 5000 people an
nually answer the summons Of these dis
eases in the United States. and in the
world probably 100000.
The war will run. it's course and stop.
but year by yeaI. II, apparently increas-
ing numbers the death toll of consump-
ton. pneumonia and cancer continues.
How strange it :is. that we can be so
easily shocked by the fatalities of war
and yet SO few can grasp the losses that
man race. 1t is almost impossible to in
duce the people to regard such precau-
tionary measures as might greatly reduce
mortality from these causes. Our cam
paigns Of education are largely futile.
SO subtle. so quiet and so stealthily do
these diseases attack their victims that
We pay little heed to them. They are
literally in the people and we are tndif-
ferent.
1t goes to show that we are far short
of the quality Of education that the world
needs, for there are obstacles to the death
losses from these and many other mala-
dies if the world would only make a seri-
Gus effort to stop their onward march.
