that the two battleships authorization Is

DIR. BIGGS FAVORS
CHEFS INSPECTION
Lecturer at Cooper Union Also
- Defends Idea of State
Free Medicine.

Restaurant cooks should he inspected
DR.. Biggs
The idea OF state or municipal medicine
was defended by DR.. Hermann NJ. Biggs in
lecture a Cooper Union last night. The
citizen has become more and more de-
pendent on the public health authorities
and is. according to DR.. Biggs the better
for e. DR.. Biggs cited the Health Board
of New York as an example Of municipal
medicine and the low death rate OF to-
day as compared with that OF 1860. Dr.
Bggs said he knew that the improved
public health had resulted in less work
for physicians in private practice. but he
offered as a remedy a larger degree of
employment by the government.
You will readily understand" said Dr.
Biggs, why the demands for physicians
should have been decreasing in these re-
cent years, and why the physicians ev-
erywhere are complaining of hard times
This has come about by the enormous
b'il'dEf III INC d'iIdi uillpbIl ~ sim
ness. Yet ii must be said that the hard
times OF the doctors are due to their own
activities. for it is through their earnest
and effective labors that the change has
been brought about. They have been IN
consciously WORKING to reduce their own
incomes. More and more "A method OF
payment 10 the doctors i'm one Of the
worlds oldest civilizations must ue
adopted. ! refer to the custom Of the
Chinese, who pay the physician tn keep
the individual well. Physicians will be-
come more and more as they indeed are
already becoming to a considerable eX-
tent in Germany. and still more so in
Great Britain. under the Lloyd George
insurance act. really government en-
ployes."
DR.. BiGss outlined the activities OF tho
New York Health Board in the bureau
of infant hygiene. illustrating how en-
tirely the Individual mothers Of the tens
ments came under the control of the
municipal authority. In this way the
speaker said. infant mortality had been
reduced TO remarkably low proportions
Or. Biggs cited the activities Of the pub
lie authority i'm the case OF contagious
and infectious diseases, making "A plea
for an extension of the governmental ac-
tivity in the interest OF sanitation all
along the line.
I'm response TO a man in the audience
after the lecture. who asked: Don't YOU
think the cooks in public restaurants
ought to be inspected. III order to prevent
them from communicating disease to pa
irons" Dr. Biggs replied that he thought
the suggestion a good one. In reply to
another auestioner, DR.. BisSs announced
that he hoped to obtain sanitary super
visors in the State Department OF Health.
