I 4-H Homemaking Projects Rank High In Club Activities More Than Million Pro jects Undertaken By Girls “With more than a million home making projects being undertaken, 4- H girls are putting the 1949 theme ‘Better Living for a Better World’ into action,” declared Guy L. Noble, direct or of the National Committee on boys and Girls Club Work. North Caro lina girls carried 41,000 of these pro jects, and accepted the challenge to report good records of work well done in 1949, according to Mr. Noble. Clothing, canning, home improve ment, home grounds beautification, garden and poultry are among the ac tivities considered in the National 4-H Girls Record award program. In ad dition to learning the job of home making, the girls come to know the basic principles for happy family re lationships and community responsi bility. The Cooperative Extension Service supervises the program. For over a quarter of a century, Montgomery Ward has rewarded girls whose accomplishments in this contest have 'been outstanding. Six national scholarships of S3OO each —in place of the usual s2oo—will be given this year. An all -expense trip to the National 4-H Club Congress in Chica go will again be provided for winners in each of the 45 States participating, and for county winners, a gold-filled BABE RUTH STORY IS REVEALED None among the hundreds of thousands who paid their last respects to the great Babe Ruth, nor the mil lions who mourned the passing of the American idol were aware that a cold, calculating plot on the part of certain members of the medical pro fession who went to extremes to pre vent the Babe from receiving the benefits of Chiropractic may have been responsible for his untimely death. Cause of Ailment While the story of the medical pro fession and Babe Ruth is not unusual, it is of interest because of the fame of the Yankee' slugger. Informed Chiropractors point out that what happened was that Ruth in taking a powerful swing with his bat threw one of his neck vertebrae out of place (the atlas). Condition Gets Worse After the first unnecessary surgical operation the Babe’s condition became generally worse. He lost weight rap idly. In a last forlorn hope that a change of climate may help him, Ruth went to Florida. In Miami a close personal friend recommended Chiro practic. A licensed member of the profession was called in. He gave Ruth four adjustments and the patient showed improvement al most immediately. He soon gained 20 pounds and was in sufficient health to move around. In fact, Ruth became strong enough to return to New York for “Babe Ruth Day” at Yankee Stadium. Chiropractor’s Story Dr. William A. Budreau, a licensed Chiropractor in Miami, whose state ment can be supported by an affidavit, was asked by a New York Chiroprac tor for a statement concerning the Ruth case. His reply follows: “Babe Ruth took only four adjust ments from me, then went to New York for ‘Babe Ruth Day.’ Ed Sul livan wrote it up in his column. The medics saw it and threatened to cut Ruth off his morphine if he came to 4 me.”—lnternational Review, published in the public interest by Chowan County Chiropractic group.

As a matter of fact, strep tococcal sore throat and scarlet fever are synonymous except that some people having streptococcal sore throat develop a rash. This is known as “scarlet fever.” Others have only the sore throat without developing a rash. Although spread most frequently from person to person, scarlet fever may also be contracted by people who drink raw, unpasteurized milk ‘from a cow with an udder infected with human hemolytic streptococci. Milk may also be infected by an in fected person. The disease strikes most frequent ly in winter and late spring, and most cases occur in children between six and ten years of age. Many years ago, almost every case of scarlet fever was a severe one, and many children died of it. The dis ease now seems to occur more fre quently in a milder form. Further more, we have lparned more about preventing its spread and caring for its victims, so that the number of deaths from scarlet fever has been greatly reduced. However, scarlet fever is still highly contagious and the many complications it may cause—ear in fections, inflammation of the kid neys or of the joints, and damage to the heart —may be severe. The first syniDtoms of the disease include sore. throat and often nau sea, vomiting and a chill. The pulse quickens and the temperature rises rapidly, sometimes to 104 or 106 degrees. When a rash does develop (the “scarlet” fever), it usually comes between* 24 and 48 hours after the 1 , OHM'OOSH! - ARE YOU HURT BAD. 9 SPEAK TO ME, SPEEDY! SAY SOMETHIH6?

The bright red rash usually comes first on the neck and chest, and then spreads rapidly over the body. The doctor should be called at the first sign of any early symptoms that may mean scarlet fever, so that he may prescribe treatment which will ward off complications.
