More Than Million Pro

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,

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. Reprinted
from June, 1949, issue Chiropractic
Home Magazine.

Mrs. T. J. Bell Meets
With Another Accident
Misfortune appears to be follow
ing Mrs. T. J. Bell, who recently
was hospitalized due to a broken
leg. Mrs. Bell, since the accident
and discharge from the Chowan
Hospital, has been obliged to get
about her home in a wheel chair,
and on Wednesday afternoon of last
week fell from the wheel chair,
breaking the ankle on the same leg
which was previously broken. s
Though the broken limb is in a
cast, Mrs. Bell is being treated by
her physician, Dr. L. P. Williams,
at her home on West Queen Street.

factions. 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

onset of early symptoms. 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. If com
plications do occur, prompt medical
care reduces their severity.
