Tcctotalism as n Financial Asset

Now that the office seeker has
been paid off by the verdict OF the
people for his tireless affability, and
the bets are all settled. and old
friends have become enemies and
the country IL once more started on
the road to perdition. let us inquire
whether it pays to be temperate
drinkcr-not moderate drinker.
The moderate drinker is passing. He
is no longer an institution. but Just
a sorry spectacle. But the temperate
drinker is still indigenous. and has
as much contempt for the moderate
drinker as the moderate drinker
has for the plain souse.
Life insurance companies have
little sentiment and less moral pref
udice about drinking. A risk is
risk, and as such he is accepted or
rejected. regardless of his political,
religious or ethical character. The
sole question with the life insurance
company Is: How long will this can
didatc likely stay on earth paying
premiums? The longer he stays with
us the less we must tax him for his
policy"
The experience of American life
insurance companies was recently
analyzed In respect to the mortality
among abstainers, temperate drink
ors and moderate drinkers and mod
crate or habitual users OF alcohol.
II was found that the death rate
among the abstainers was about Is
per cent less than the rate among
the temperate or occasional drink
ers, and the rate among the occa-
sional drinkers was % per cent less
than the rate among the moderate
or habitual drinkers, In the cNper-
fence OF one company the abstainers
had a death rate OF 80 per cent low
or than the general mortality rate.
Thus the total abtainer il distinct
ly better risk, longer lived than the
occasional drinker.
Thes. statistics mean something.
because they were not gather ed to
bolster up n controversial claim. but
are the cold facts OF record The peo-
pie who furnished the figures are
interested solely in the almighty
dollar.
The young man who never drinks
is therefore n better investment
than the young man who occasion
ally takes glass of beer for social
purposes. whatever that means. Not
necessarily because he Is n ,eetotal-
err alone, but because he IL tenn
pera'e IN all things and teetotaler
as regards abstinence from alcohol.
or In other words his character
Is strong enough TO resist the i'm
por,uni,ies Of those who make II
their business to make fools out OF
weaklings.
