FAT woRsT
OF LONGEVITY
TESTIMONY OF LIFE • 1N•
SURANCE MEN. -
Thin Man's Chances of Reach-
ing Ripe Age Exceed Those
of the Corpulent.
Life insurance actuaries have plenty
of statistics on old age, but they have
no dictum regarding how to live to be
one hundred years old. They tell you,
for example, that after seventy wo
men live longer than men. The first
year of one's 'life is the• most danger-
ous. If you. survive ytiu will reach the
same death rate at the age of sixty -
live. You will have the least chance
6f dying between the ages of ten and
twelve. Women, as a rule, live longer
than men, But life seems to lose color
,after sixty-five. The fact that 28 per
cent. of all persons over sixty-five in
this country must depend upon charity
for a living is emphasized -13y the fact
that -thirty-six persons out of every
thousand more than. sixty-five years
old take their own lives.
If a woman survives the period of
' forty to forty-six and a man the period
from fifty to sixty, both are likely to
live to a ripe old age.. • At sixty-five.
you have a clia'i"ice to live an average
of 11.6 more years. At seventy the
expectation is 9.1 ,years,; . at eighty,
5.25 years; 'at ,ninety','3 years. But
women have better chances than Hien.
Rules For Long Life.
There is no one recipe for longevity,
but there are certain well established
suggestions, most actuaries agree.
1. Don't worry. '
2. Be temperate.
3. Get plenty of fresh air.
4. Be examined thoroughly once a
year.
5. Don't get fat.
The carelessness of .the average
man regarding his health is the des-
pair of medical examiners for life in-
surance companies. ' "The average
man," one of these men said, "will
send his motor car to the garage every
six months for. overhauling, but he
.will refuse to let a doctor examine
..Lim as frequently. He is afraid of
what will be found. One day he falls
over in a faint, and then finds a dis-
ease advanced too far for cure. Ile
could have detected the first advances
of that disease by a careful examina-
tion once a year. He would have been
- told to quit eating so much sugar, to
leave alcohol alone, or to do this and
that before it was too late."
Science Benefits Young.
At present there is litttle evidence
to show that people are living much
longer. This is because most of the
benefits of modern medical science
go to the young. Infant mortality and
tuberculosis are being greatly re-
duced, but ha vicory over death will
not show in the mortality tables for
many. years. Meantime older persons
have no such aid to prolong their
lives, but are actually threatened with
an alarming increase in the degenerat-
ing diseases of heart and nerve strain.
Prohibition, however, is going to
prolong life, all insurance men agree.
The moderate drinker, insurance men
say, is a poor risk, and the heavy
drinker a very bad risk.
Are you a fat man? If so, you have
less chance to live to be one hundred
than a thin mail.
"Fat," says the head of the medical
conservation department of perhaps
rite biggest insurance compeny in the
-country, "is a parasite and breeds
heart failure. Brewers'.iorses fed on
malt are fat, but they can't stand .lard
work. There is a fat tree in Africa on
the inside of which grows a parasite
which feeds on the real fibre of the
tree, weakening its grain."
Quarantine.
This is a very poor word for the
meaning it now has. It originated
from the Italian word "Quarante"
meaning'forty, and was used in Ven-
ice and other. Italian forts in the mid-
dle ages, when ships with pestilence
on board were detained for a period
of forty days. The object of quaran-
tine is to destroy, detain or isolate in-
fection with the least possible hind-
rance to business, trade and travel.
The cure for quarantine is Sanita-
tion. A city with few rats could not
have an .epidemic of plague; a port
supplied with a pure water supply
meed not fear a water -borne epidemic
of cholera; a thoroughly vaccinated
community need have no fear of•sma11e
pox; a people free front lice need not
fear an outbreak of Typhus fever.

CANADA'S SIX
THOUSAND BLIND
Idle Pity Giving Way to Prac-
tical Effort on Their Behalf.
You have doubtless been interested
in what you have read or heard re-
garding; the progress of a national
effort on: behalf of the blind of Qanada,
Do you realize just what this effort
means ?
Here are some of the. things tl-1t
are being done:
"'Industrial training and employment
is being provided for the blind in
centres established in Halifax, To-
ronto,'Winnipeg and Vancouver.
Useful handicrafts and the reading
and writing of embossed characters
are taught in the homes of those blind
people who for various reasons are
unable to take training at one of the
regular centres.
The product of the home -workers is
';ought and sold.
Personal contact is established with
recently -blinded persons, and with
cases which are sometimes so old that
they become nw in a very real sense.
This work is done by an experienced
Field Agent.
Books, magazines, and ,music in
embossed types are circulated free to
the blind of Canada. The monthly
average circulation o . books, etc.,. is
close to eight hundred. The Institute
also arranges for the transcription of
music for any of its members at cost
price.

Hydro -'Electric Engineering
'Feat in Tasmania.
Of all the technical works of man
that signal the march of civilization,
the hydro -electric development is the
most romantic figure. Indeed, it is at
once the pioneer of industry, and its
most finished achievement. It goes
into the wilderness primeval with all
the refinements of the sheltered la-
boratory; 'and always it must break
its own trail—roughhew its aggressive
way against all the obstacles an un-
friendly nature can devise. And be-
cause nature broke her rule for once,
and played engineer herself in the
laying out of an ide!h1 site for such, a
project, the story of • Tasmania's
hydro -electric development .4s excep-
tionally interesting.
Out of the south end of the Great
Lake flows the river Shannon. ParaI-
lel with the lake and the Shannon runs
the river Ouse -120 ft. above lake
level, 1,120 ft. below Shannon level,
and only a few smiles from either. So
pinch engineering had nature accom-
plished in reacliuess for the electrical
Pioneers: and then added, to clinch
the deal, a wonderful natural reser-
voir alongside the Ouse, just where it
was needed as a restraining basin.
All the builders had to do, then, was
to dam the ahannon at the lake out-
let, cut a canal across to the reser-
voir, and, install the machinery.
But kind as nature had been, this
providential basin could not be used
without improvements. 'r1iree low
earthen dams were built, from 980 ;to
1,863 ft, long, 2 ft. to 8 ft. 9 in. high,
With provision for added altitude as
the future demands. A 30 -ft, concrete
spillway in the south dam insures
against flood damage. Near it Is the
reinforced -concrete penstock,plt, from
The grime, the greed, the strife,
The sordid fear—
To find the higher way,
The vision clear.
A ladder stretching from
The Hills of Gold
To this old workshop which
Men call the world,
The topmost rung held fast
In God's right hand,. ,
The lowest at our feet,
That we may climb by rounds
Of broken prayer,
By self -forgetfulness
And pure desires
And lowly labors grandly done,
A little nearer heaven
Each setting sun.

• The Scholar's Psalm.
The Lord is my teacher,
T shall no lose the way.
He leadeth me in the lowly path of
learning,
He prepareth a lesson for me every
day;
He bringeth me to the clear fountains
of instruction,
Little by little He showeth me the
beauty..of truth.
The world is a great book He bath
written,
He turneth the Ieaves for me slowly;
They are all inscribed with images
and letters,
He poureth light on the pictures and
the words.
He taketli ile by the hand to the hill-
top of vision,
And my soul is glad when I perceive
His meaning;
In the valley also He walketh beside
me,
In the dark places He whispereth to
my heart.
Even though my lesson be hard, it is
not hopeless,
For the Lord is patient with His slow
scholar;
He will wait awhile for my weakness,
And . help me to read the truth
through tears.

How It Happened.
Little Elizabeth Tilton had been at
school but a few clays when she be-
came i11. Up in her return, some
weeks later, she bore a note of excuse
from her mother, signed Mrs. Bares.
Thinking that perhaps she bad mis-
understood the child's name, the
teacher asked for an explanation. "It's
this way," said Elizabeth, confiden-
tially, "niy mother got married again,
but I didn't." -.
A Too -obliging Ocean.
Cornelius on his first visit to the
seasidetwent down to the beach at low
tide and saw a big fishing smack lying
high and dry on the mild flats.
"Hey, mister," he said to a fisher-
man, "how do you get that big boat
down to the water?"
"We don't take the boat down to the
water; mate," said the fisherman, "The
water comes -up to the boat."
Cornelius gave a harsh laugh.
"Say, mister," he said, "I may be
from the country, but I ain't goin' to
mailer that."
She Made Sure.
Bridget was one of the new type of
"domestic help." She knew all about
the science of the thing. One day her
employer—there are no mistresses
nowadays!—remarked to her:
"The water you brought for luncheon
this morning tasted rather peculiar,
Bridget."
The Irish handmaiden—that is the
only way of calling them "maids" in
our times—bridled as she replied:
"Sure, ma'am, there's wan thing
about it. I know there wasn't a single
germ left in it, for I ran it all through,
the mincing -machine twice."

to hospital, but later on the doctor
found out, quite by accident, that he
was still on board ship.
Angrily he asked why his order had
not been obeyed.
"Well," replied the captain, "we
tried to send him ashore, but a ser-
geant of police hailed us and said that
on no account was the to be landed or
we'd be fined £ 100, so we just kept
him on board,"
"But did you not signal to the depot,
as I said?"
"Yes, we did; but neither me nor
the signalman knew how to spell rheu-
matism, so we called it slnaIlpox."
