This conclusion is sug- gested by the fact that the vice pres- idents suffer a greater curtailment of lifo than the. presidents, although vice presidents have far less respon- sibility, but spend much more time in Washington social life than the presi- dents. It is also suggested by the fact that the civil war period, with its greater weight of responsibility, but more simple living, showed a lower mortality than the periods preceding and following, with less weight of re- sponsibility, but less simple living. “Historically there has been a pro- gressive decrease in those causes of death consisting of infections which kill their victims chiefly at the earlier ages but a progressive change for the worse in those causes of death con- sisting of the wear and tear di | (or degnerative diseases) which kill | hetr victims, chiefly at_ the latar years. These opposite changes in infections and degenerative diseases would explain the improvement in mortality at the earlier ages and on | the hand, the non-improvement (and | in the case of the Yale graduates even positive retrogression) in the mortal- ity at the older ages; again they | would explain the marked exception- lality of the older ages in the civil war perfod: for if it was plain Nving which explained the low mortality of that period we should expect the most marked influence of this factor to ap- pear just as it does, at the older ages at which the wear and tear mortality is chiefly registered. “The chief causes of wear and tear on the lives of congressmen are the same as those applying to modern | convivial social life in general; they jare the causes emphasized by the |Life Extension Institute which, | through its hygience reference board | of hygienists and ecientists, has de- | scribed these causes in its recent | hand-book ‘How to Live’ The chief | causes emphasized are indoor and | sedentary living, a_crouching, champ- | ing posture, late dinners, overeating, | especially of nitrogenous foods, such | as meats and eggs, over concentration or lack of bulk in diet, hasty eating, constipation, irregular hours, lack of sieep, worry, and the use of drugs, especialiy narcotics like alcobol and | tobacco. In short, the chief reasons why congressmen shorten their lives | are avoidable, being due, not so much | to their work as to_the of life | into_which their work leads them. | “The damage to vitality, which we {find from pubiic life is not, there- | fore, put forward as an argument | against entering public service; mor { will a knowledge of the facts proba- | bly tena in that direction, certainly | not amonz #hose who piace ‘public interests above personal interests, as every public man should.

This can be ac- complished by better general health conditions in the country and its cap- ital, by better health customs and | habits, by better health ideals, and by a more systematic application of the imperfect ideals already exist- ing.” In connection with his study of tbe figures Prof. Fisher says: “The longeyity of each president is 2 froms. the date of inaugura- from the time of his ident. Thus Washing- ton became president at 57 years of | age, when the “expectation” of life, according to the American experience table, was 1§ years.
