It cites the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution data showing abstainers live longer than moderate drinkers, with 125,000 policies over sixty-one years and a 36 percent higher mortality in the general section. It notes potential insights from similar lifestyle comparisons and praises the Women’s Christian Temperance Union for persistent anti alcohol work.

Double Murder at Angelica Ends Two Lives
Angelica New York May 6 John Van Gorder 52 and his sister Miss Anna Farnam 42 were slain at their home five miles northeast of Angelica. The house was ransacked and investigators suspect Italian laborers from the nearby railroad project. Ten to twelve knife wounds and several three corner file stabs damaged the heads and chests. Miss Farnam appears to have been assaulted. An autopsy confirms fatal injuries to both. The crime scene shows a fierce struggle with a dragged body and a broken rocking chair. Boots placed aside and a cider pitcher with four glasses suggest the assailants drank before the killings. Authorities note no known enemies for the victims. Further investigation targets workers at Camp Burk where about 200 Italians are employed.
