Do Married Men or Bach
elors Live Longest
Not Answered.

New York.-Which lives longer-the
married man or the bachelor? Few
other questions In vital statistics have
been more widely discussed. says the
New York Times. All information
bearing on the subject has been
studied by physicians, scientists, the
ologians, social welfare experts and
criminologists, and with particular at.
tention by the insurance companies.
The answer to this ancient question
has a general and far reaching infiu.
ence. II 1t Is established that the
chances Of long life are greater for
bachelors than for the married, both
men and women will naturally be in
fuenced in choosing between the two
states. The moralist finds such Stats.
tics the basis for argument. For the
insurance companies the question is q
very practical one. Before millions OF
dollars are risked upon the expecta.
ton Of life, the most reliable figures
obtainable are gathered. regardless Of
trouble or expense.
Despite painstaking investigation.
the problem today is still unsolved.
Hard Words for BacheIorhood.
One Of the most distinguished advo-
Gates Of the good influence Of marriage
on longevity, DR.. James Stark, regis
trar general of Scotland, said, after
careful investigation, that bachelor
hood is more destructive to long life
than the most unwholesome of trades. +"
An array of figures has been quoted
to prove this extreme view.
According to Doctor Stark's figures,
out of every 100000 married men be-
tween the ages of forty and fifty, 1,407
die each year, as compared with 1886
unmarried men who die among sim
liar number in the same period. In
the early ages from twenty-five to
thirty-five years, the proportion Of
deaths among the unmarried men is
even greater. Out Of 100000 married
persons, Including widowers, from
twenty to twenty-five years old. 62e
die every year. while in the same num-
Der Of unmarried persons between the
same ages no fewer than 1.231 die an.
nually.
According to other British statistics,
the average number Of deaths per year
among unmarried men between the
ages Of Twenty-Five and forty5six
years is twenty-eight in every 1000.
while among married men in the same
period the deaths are only 10.
A famous table prepared by Doctor
Stark shows the contrast between the
mortality Of the married and the
single Is greatest between the ages Of
twenty and twenty-five. and varies
considerably at subsequent ages. His
summary Of the yearly mortality per
10000 L. as follows:

Some significant figures along this
line have been collected by. Bertillon,
who formulated the familiar system Of
fnger-print Identification Of criminals.
The investigations Of the statisticians
Of many insurance companies point to
similar conclusions.
Old Ones All Married.
The greater longevity Of married
men over bachelors IL also pointed out
by Christopher Won Rufeland in his
work, "The Art Of Prolonging Life"
This authority goes so far a. to say
that "there is not one instance OF q
bachelors having attained to q great
age" He also asserts, as q result of
his investigations, that "all those peo-
pie who have become very old were
married more than once" This con-
dition, he says. applies to both men
and women. Similar claims for the
influence Of married life upon lonsev-
ity might be quoted indefinitely.
Some Of the best minds Of the are
have studied the problem. The sta
tistics above quoted have been at
tackled by no less an authority than
Herbert Spencer. The great philoso-
phsr accepted the statistics gathered
BY the Scotch statistician and others,
but disagreed entirely with the con-
clusion that marriage itself prolongs
life. The experts Of modern insur-
ance companies, 1t IL found. seem to
agree with Spencer's reasoning.
The great mass OF statistics on the
subject indicates In the main that
married men a. rule actually live
longer than bachelors, and that the
advantage, measured In years, is often
considerable. The best information
obtainable 10 that such II true In both
America and Europe
The latest figures on the subject are
probably those gathered by Frederick
L. Hoffman, consulting statistician Of
the Prudential Insurance company Of
Newark. He has found that the death
rate among single men in America 10
higher than among mar
ried men.

ing, and prices on live poultry at the
large centers of consumption are
easier, due to increased receipts.
Even marketing by producers is sug-
gested because there are still large
stocks to be handled and it taxes the
capacities of the feeding stations to
handle and properly prepare poultry
for market.
The feeding of milk or soft feeds
on the farm should be avoided, using
natural grains, so the poultry will be
in best condition for finishing at feed

A resurvey and appraisal of these
lands is being made by experts as
signed to the counties in which the
delinquent tracts are located. In
each case where redemption is. not
made, the land will be offered for
sale at future state offerings. Every
effort, however, will be made to per-
NIT, or assist, the original purchaser
to redeem, in case he cares to do so.
In every sale of state land, the
trust funds of the state are a bene-
ficiary, realizing on each acre of
land sold, whether the contract is
completed or not. On a sale~of I'M
improved land, the Is per cent down
payment goes to the trust funds and
if there is any merchantable timber
Oh the tract, it must be paid for in
full at it's appraised value.
AS a result of the present state
land policy, interest delinquency on
the part of purchaser has been
steadily growing less. State lands
are placed on the market now only
after thorough investigation as to
their agricultural possibilities, quail
ity of the soil, and the location of
the land as to market facilities, roads,
schools and towns. In every instance
where state lands are offered, they
are listed in detail as to soil and
character, and every prospective pur.
chaser is urged to see the land before
buying. The state at no time en-
ploys any agents and endeavors to
display in it's dealings with land buy
ers the same degree of honesty which
it expects from them. No land is
misrepresented and no misrpresenta-
ton is countenanced. Anyone buy
ing state land offered for sale at this
time can be sure of securing full val
ue for his money. If any consider
able area of the lands now being re-
appraised as delinquent remain unre-
deemed, it will result in some excel
lent buys at future land sales.
