Now, however, it is stated that a number of actuaries and medical di rectors have been working on statis tics running over a period of several years, aud from the records ni n .h'k iiuu Ik of lif.? companies ,sevnt! of the authorities have come to the con clusion that the total abstainers as a class live longer by from 20 to 50 per cent; than the moderate drinkers as a class. . . There are a ; number of details to work out before the policies in contem plation are actually offered to the pub lic. -One of these is the danger that a man who is a total abstainer when he takes out a policy; ; may i become ; a drinker in the future. It is believed, however, that this problem can be solved either by requiring applicants to take the pledge and providing that vio lation of it shall , annul the insurance policy; or by a provision that if the man - should become a drinker the amount payable under thej '.policy should be reduced. - ' .
