DR.. Mclaughlin Urges Cam
paign of Education Before
Insurance Officials.

| NEW YORK, December 5.-One hun
dred and seventy-five thousand cases of
typhoid fever annually in this country
could be prevented by a campaign of
education. with an annual saving of 49,
200 lives. in the opinion of DR.. Allan J.
! Mclaughlin Of the United States public
health service. voiced today in an adj
dress before the sixth annual convention
of the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents in New York. Company presi-
dents and other trustees Of policyholders
representing more than 20 per cent of the
now in force in this country are attend

DIR. Mclaughlin declared in the course
of his speech:
That the economic loss caused by

That in fifty of the largest American
cities the typhoid fever death rate aver

Supervision by States.
A tacit understanding among the states
that each will give its own life insurance
companies such thorough and proper su-
pervision as to make it unnecessary for
other states to concern themselves great
ly over those companies is highly desir-
able and would alleviate hardships now
borne by some of the larger companies,
declared William Il. Emmett. superinten-
dent of insurance of New York.
zone cannot help feeling he said,
that the existing system Of supervision
by states has been largely outgrown. APP
parently, however, we cannot have a sys-
TEN of national supervision except by
amending the Constitution Of the United
States. For the present, at any rate. we
must do the best we can with the old
machinery.
Under these circumstances. 1t seems
to me that we In the different state de-
partments stand under a very solemn OBJ
legation to try to meet the present difficult
ties growing out Of supervision by states
rather than by the nation. by making the
largest possible concessions. whenever
any trying situation arises to the idea
| of reciprocity and comfy between the
| states"
