VIII be the principal opponents of the
bill that Is scheduled to be brought up

reau with a cabinet officer at its head,
according to DR., Thomas c. Holloway,
former president of the Kentucky VAL
ley Medical Association, who address
ed the Home Service Institute of the

Gated the passage of this bill.
DR., Holloway spoke in place of DR..
Arthur Mccormick, secretary of the
State Board of Health, who, after de-
livering an address to the institute
Tuesday, was called to Louisville.
Forty-six health officers, represent
ing 46 of the states of the Union, drew
up the bill advocating the creation of
national health bureau, at recent
national convention. Holloway ex-
poets a flight" before the bill is pass
ed.
His address deals with health condi-
tions in the United States, particularly
in Kentucky. more people in Ken
lucky are dying from lack of air than
from lack of food. tuberculosis is an
infection, communicable, preventable
and durable disease. Rest, food and
air are the remedies" he declared.
DR.. Holloway, returned to Lexington
from Serbia, where he was connect
ed with the American Red Cross, in
April.
Preceding his address to the Red
Cross audience Wednesday morning he
talked to the summer school students
in the university on health, dealing
with it in a general fashion.
In his address DR.. Holloway predict
ed that the next war would be against
1.-The enemies of health and happiness, +"
ana that IL would nave nearly as much
to do with the future of the United
States as the last war.
Kentucky has the best health laws
in the country" he declared, "but no
health laws work any good unless they
are enforced"
DR.. Holloway asserted that there
were 100000 war exemptions because
of physical disabilities; that sickness
and disease are the result of our own
ignorance and disregard of the health
laws.
DR.. Halloway's lecture concluded
the present series to the Home Ser
vice Institute. The students will spend
the rest Of the week in field work.
