CUF.ES the fra alsV FAVORSTOTAL ' Insurance Companies Will Give Lower Rates " to Those who Do Not Drink Intoxi- eating Liquors Total abstainers In the matter of spirituous liquors are In the near fa tare to be given special low rates by tbe leading lite insurance people ac cording to tbe Tribune. As it is well known, tbe insoranoe companies never issae policies to immoderate drinkers where the olrcumetanoei are. known. Bat for many years numerous author- ities have claimed that the average span of life was longer among neither persona who were not total abstainers and tbe underwriters havo never taken a deoli'ed stand in the matter. Now, iiowover, it Is stated that a number ol actuaries aod medical dlreotora have been working on statia tics running over a period of seven yesrs, and from the "coords of a large number of lite companies several of the authorities have come lo the conclus ion that tbe total abstainers as a class ' live longer by from 20 to 60 per oen than tbe moderate drinkers, j There are a number of details to ' work ont before the policies in con- temptation are actually offered to the pnhlio. One of these is tbe danger that a man who is a total abstainer when he takes oat the policy may be come a moderate, or perhaps immod erate .drinker in tbe future, which would upset the figures or the oompany j if this should happen to many of the holders of suoh policies. It is be-1 lieved, however, that this problem oan be solved in several way;. One of these is that tbe application for the polioy should contain a warranty that the applicant would never hereafter Deoome a drinker of alobholio liquora, tbe effect would be that if be violated the warranty the policy would be void.
