WE arc indebted to Mr. S. for his suggestion. It is an excellent one. We publish an annual Business Statement of the Metropolitan, not because we think that the figures willibe remembered, but because they offer conclusive evidence of unusual growth and strength to its 22,000,000 policyholders. ■ And it is this extraordinary financial strength that makes it possible for the Metropolitan to carry on a nation-wide campaign for better health and longer life. People now live longer Records kept by the Metropolitan show an extraordinary decrease in the death rate among its policyI holders. Compared with 19 11, for example, there were nearly 62,000 fewer deaths in 1924 among its Industrial Policyholders than there NVould have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed.

Hearts and Dollars

Two Statements—one of which has to do with Health and Welfare, the other with Financial Strength

AN OPEN LETTER ( Name on l^equestJ Mr. Haley Fiske, President Metropolitan Life Insurance Cos. New York City My Dtar Mr. Fiskt:

Why don’t you publish a Heart Statement along with the regular Financial Statement you put out each year# Any company can publish impressive figures of financial strength, financial growth, etc. But figures don’t stick. All I remember from your last year’s Statement is that the Metropolitan has several million policyholders and is the biggest life insurance company in the world. I’ve been following some of your magazine

Reduced to Ranks, Now a Sergeant Life is one continuous elevator for Elmer Stoddard of the Indianapolis police force—a series of ups and downs. Two weeks ago he was a lieutenant. In the grand police shake-up by the board of safety and Mayor Shank he dropped to the basement with the rank of patrolman. "Going up,” the board said today and promoted him to sergeant.

AH, NO MORE CABBAGES Metal Containers Ordered for City Market Stands. No longer will residents of Indianapolis awaken to find cabbage leaves and celery stalks on streets in front of their homes. The board of safety today ordered metal containers in city market where standholders may dump refuse. In the past standhclders have left large quantities of these articles in market. If forced to remove them they loaded them on a wagon, drove a few blocks away and calmly dumped them In the street, market officials said. Taw Law O. K. Attorney General Arthur L. Gllllom. In an opinion submitted today to the State tax board, held constitutional an act of the 1925 Legislature exempting from taxation land contracts and options not constituting an' enforceable promise to buy or sell.

advertisements lately that tell of work you’re doing to help people live longer. It isn’t entirely clear in my mind just how you’re doing it or why you do it, but since you are doing it, give us the fact* and figures on that. Call it a Heart Statement or a Welfare Statement, or anything you like, but—give us the facts. Perhaps other Metropolitan policyholders like myself would be interested in a Statement of that kind. Very truly yours, c. N. S .

While the average life span in the United States is 5H years greater than it was 12 years ago, the life span of the Industrial Policyholders of the Metropolitan increased nearly years—a betterment of three years over the general average—in the same, interval. These increases in k T life arc due in large part to the Metropolitan’s Tlcaltii and Welfare Work among its policyholders. You are the gainer You and all the other 22,000,000 one out of every six people in the United States and Canada —reap the benefit through better health and decreased cost of insurance. The wealth of the Metropolitan belongs to you and to no one else. The Metropolitan has no stock and no stockholders. It is owned
