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.
The companies also have discussed a
