expected" lives. They started as men
Of unusual vitality, but the duties of
he office are so strenuous that a prop
er regard for personal hygiene is i'm
possible. and in consequence they suf-
fer all average loss of Z per cent of the
years to which they are entitled, ac-
cording to the law of averages.
The tendency to curtailment of life
among the vice presidents is even more
marked. While they do not work so
hard, worry SO much, or carry so much
responsibility, they must feast and wine
and banquet and discharge social du-
ties.
BY contrast, Professor Fisher shows
that a man gains 81 per cent over his
expectancy of life by being a president
of Yale university.
Averaging the congressman in 80
congresses, it was found that the aver
age congressman lives out only 80 per
gress o. the average shortens a mans

While the life is reSpon.
sible for some Of the shortening Of the
lives Of presidents, vice presidents, SEN
ators and congressman, a hygiene is
a larger factor. The chief causes en-
phasized by Professor Fisher are: In
door and %sedentary living; a crouch
ing. cramping posture; late dinners;
overeating, especially of meat. eggs and
rich foods; Recommendation, or lack
of bulk in diet: hasty eating. constipa-
ton. irregular hours, lack of sleep, wor-
ry, and the use Of drugs. especially
narcotics like. alcohol n tobacco.
These error in personal hygiene also
shorten the lives Of those in humber
walks of lives.

ThOs. Dreier, In Nautilus.
I have just learned that in h forest
experiment station near Zurich, in
Switzerland, they have found that
crookedness in a parent Norway spruce
is repeated in at least half the seed
lings grown from it. The foresters.
therefore, teach that in rcforesting seed
should be taken only from straight
trees, otherwise the growth will be
gnarled and twisted. If this be true of
trees. may it not only be true of human
beings? Hasn't society a right t o in
terest itself in all questions involving
the birth of children? Society must
pay the price when children are
physically. mentally, or spiritually
gnarled and twisted. Therefore, has not
society a right to protect itself against
men and women who are unfit to pro.
duce children that are straight?
