good advice for the man or wO-
man who is inclined to be heavy.
Arthur Hunter. chairman of the
central bureau of medicO-actu-
arial mortality Investigation and
actuary of big life insurance
company. states that there is no
doubt that, marked overweight
. has material effect in decreas-
: ing length of life, especially at
the middle and older ages.
Among men forty pounds above
the average weight the lifetime
of those who entered the compa-
MES at fOrty-five was about four
years less than that of men of
normal weight. The public
should understand that marked
overweight is serious handf-
cap to length of life Diabetes,
Bright's disease. heart disease
and apoplexy cause a large pro-
. portion of the deaths among over
weights. While the Overeater Is
not such a bad social influence as
the excessive drinker. the former

Of moderation. Insurance com
panies will be glad to give to the
