Expert Says indiana Students Don't
Know How to Stand.

One out of every six men OF the
freshmen class of Indiana university is
defective physically, according to sta
tistics made public at Bloomington,
Ind, by Dr. J. L. p. Holland, physical
director of the university He said
this percentage had been fixed after
liberal allowances had been made In
favor of the individual being eXamin'
ed. Negligence was asCribed as the
cause in most of the cases of Imperfect
ton.
Flat chests and fiat feet were the
principal defects. DR.. Holland said
that, while he did not approve ciga.
rettes, he did not blame all the fiat
chests to the nicotine habit. He at
tributed the present condition mostly
to the fact that the men did not know
how to stand correctly.
Gymnasium work, designed to ex-
pand the chests and lift the arches of
the feet, had been arranged by Dr.
Holland, who said he hoped that most

 At present the income of the peo- pie, who require this insurance, is so small that they cannot afford to meet the cost when it is operated by pri- vate business enterprise for profit. It must be operated on a strictly mutual basis with the smallest possible ex- pense for administration. On this ac- count insurance companies operated for profit should be eliminated from this field. It should be operated on a strictly social basis.
 s"The study of the experience in the field of sickness insurance shows practically unanimous conclusions that the following provisions are nec- essary to the success of any plan.

 Taking the typhoid records of twenty states, Dr. Fulton arranged them in order of their percentage of rural population, and found that the highest typhoid rates occurred in the least urban, or in other words. the most rural states. He also examined some four hundred counties which had no cities as large as 10000. and found that the less popu1Ous counties have the higher typhoid rates.
 s'Typhoid fever is a filth disease. everywhere and always caused by swallowing human filth, he said. ssThe chance of infection is greater under rural conditions, because the rural way of disposing human filth is to let it lie on the ground where it has the best chance of coming back into the human mouth as a contamin- atio1a of food. or drink.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 4.-Dr. B. S.. Warren. surgeon<of the United States Public Health Service and sanitary ad- vIser of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations, addressed the American Public Health Association here today on sickness Insurance and Its Relation to Public Health,' ?, predicting that changing conditions in the United States will sooner or later force the enactment of a. law providing for sickness insurance

Warren said in part: ssThe pro- ductivity of a healthy man is so po- tentially great that, other things be- ing equal, he has little worry over making living, whereas the sick man, or partially disabled man, is often a social burden. It is, therefore, a simple business proposition for the community to aid the workman with small income to provide adequate in surance against loss due to sickness.
