Gel Quick Results ,i ' * | The North Carolina Sanatorium ' Raleigh. N. (?:, Oct. 27.—G4>)—A, booklet of which only one copy is still at the institution tells of the found ing and the early days of the North Carolina Sanatorium, says Miss Hu due E. pyatt, of the Extension de partment of the ■ institution. The booklet is entitled: “The North Caro lina Sanatorium for the Treatment of Tuberculosis and the Lewis Training School for Nurses, Montrose. Cum berland County, North Carolina.” The booklet is made, up of pictures of the buildings at the institution and its surroundings, and an article by Wiley H. Swift, of Greensboro enti tled ”A Place of Calm Beauty, a Glorious Dream Realised.” The book let was prepared to tell the people of North Carolina something about an institution which at that time was in its infancy, not only as a building, but the aims and ideals ipt which it stood were only beginning to be un derstood in the state. Many of the buildings shown in the booklet have been outgrown, torn down, or remodeled, so that today there Is little resemblance between the views of the Institution shown in thp illustrations and the sanatorium to day. In 1925, the state’s providing eare for the tuberculosis within her bor ders was only a dream, says Mr. Swift's article. But it was a dream, the article says, that persisted in re maining with I)r. James E. Brooks, then a young practicing physician of Greensboro. Dr. Brooks’ dream be gan when he sent a young Greensboro woman suffering With tuberculosis to the western part, of the country. Sl|e returned to die, it is relates), and begged him to send no more patients west. | In 1905. says the article, this dream sent Dr. Brooks to the General Assembly to ask for an appropriation from the state for the. building of an institutiton in North Carolina to care for persons suffering from tuberoulo- j sis. He did not get the appropriation. ! He went back to'the General Assem-j bly in 1!>07, ami the legislature appro priated $15,000 for the building of a sanatorium and $5,000 for. mainten ance. This was the beginning pf the instp tution. says Miss Pyntt, that for more than 15 years has held open a door of hope for the "stricken tuber lulous. formerly doomed to die.” For the past e'ght years, it has taken an average of 44(5 patients for treatment each year. With the.money appropriated by the legislature rtf 1907, two frame build ings were erected. There were beds for 30 iMiiteuts in the main sanatorium N. C. KIWANIANB ARE ! HELPING CRIPPLED CHILDREN Co-Oj>eratlng In Accordance Guarantee of KlwanU Interna tional. Winston-Salem Journal. Children of Salisbury who have been forced through poverty to re main in a crippled condition are tak ing advantage of the opportunity for treatment at the expense of the Ki- 1 wants Club of that city with, the re* j suit that a number of crippled chil-j clren who have lit the past been un able, either through parental preju-l dice to hospitals or throug the lack of necessary funds, to procure proper 1 medical attention are uow completely Cured and arc standing on both feet! for the finst time in their lives. i The Riwanjs 'clubs of several North > Carolina cities are eo-operating With j the state in this work in accordance; with the guarantee of the Intern*-; tional Kiwauis Clubs that the organ-I last ion as a whole will assume notike * interest in the care of, underprivileged j children. The worlc among the cripples 1 of North Carolina, however, is-not! confined to children. The state is divided into districts, each district be ing sponsored by. a Kiwania Club j working jointly with state physi cians. The activities of the Salisbury club in this respect and its remark able results are shown by a letter received yesterday* Trom J. O. Craig, secretary of the club, by Rev. • E. J. Heath, of the Winston-Salem Ki- j wanis Club, who is chairman of the commmittee for the' rehabilitation of the crippled in this district. The letter is reproduced in patt: . “The matter of caring for the un derprivileged child and especially the cripple Is one very near to the heart of our club. In November, 1922, a resolution was passed in our club to the effect that no child in Rowan county .would remain a cripple if medical attention and the necessary funds were all that was lacking, and at the same time we wrote letters to all the Kiwanis clubs in the state asking\if they would not do likewise. We informed them of the excellent work that was being done at the Orthopaedic Hospital at Gastonia and outlined the necessary steps to take to secure the services of surgeons for the clinics. “At the same time we raised quite a sum of money, made a sur vey of the county with the assistance of the county health forces and sent a few children to Gastonia for treat ment, paging whatever expense was necessary from our fund. All the children were benefitted and some en tirely cured but we could not get the consent of parents to send other chil dren. who needed treatment, and in I fact were met with reb’.uffg bn all sides. One man even went so far |as to say that he would shoot the next person who talked to him about, his boy going to a hospital. “We soon saw that the people would have to be educated and with this in view we donated part of the money for the purchase of a moving* picture machine that could be used in the country where electric lights were not available. The county health department donated the rest and the machine was bought A film show ing the work at the hospital in Gas-. tonia was secured and Dr. Armstrong, himself a Kiwanian, accompanied by other Klwanians made the rounds of practically all the schools of the coun ty showing thie picture, other health pictures and a comedy. Then one .of the Klwanians made a short talk THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE building. It was heated by a fireplace and lighted with kerosene lamps. To day the old buildinf, remodeled, steam j heatgd, and elee Higbted, stands some] distance away from the present main' building and !s used as a cottage for women patients Who are able to be out of bed. When the early plabs foe the san atorium were being formula led, Mr. Swift continued, “a site was a mat ter of much importance. A place that provided elbow room so that there would never be any crowding, water for mechanicnl power, and a good farm on which vegetables could be raised, were spocifioatlions for a site.” These specifications were met by a tract of land in the sandhills of Cumberland . county, near Montrose. The county is now Hoke, and tnc sanatorium lias its own postoSce, opened in 1914, and known as “Sanatorium.” The site is described by Mr. Swift thus: "As if left there by a kind fath er for his sick children.” The sanatorium tops the highest hill in the section in which it is built. There is a wide; beautiful, unobstruct ed view from the institution, says Miss Pya(t. At the entrance to the prCseift main building of the !£orth Carolina Sana torium the Greensboro District Nurse and HNief Comimttee has placed a tablet to Dr. James E. Brooks, “First Superintendent of the institution, dreamer and pioneer fighter against tuberculosis in North.-Carolina." Today, says Miss I*yatt, the insti tution is probably bigger and better than Dr. Brooks ever dreamed it would be. The legislatures ard kind er to th«« institution than thev weri in 1905 and 1907. I “It is an established fact,” declares Miss Pyatt, “not a dream, today that the state should help its tuberculous ■ to become healthy, useful citizens again. * It is no longer a dream that tuberculosis can be cured, for it is be ’ ing cured in North Carolina. The j sanatorium has taken a place among | the best sanatoria' in America.” | "But,” continues Miss D.vatt, “more expansion is needed. Some more dreams need to be realized. A system of coitnty sanatoria in the state is needed to' aid the state institution to care for the eoifnty cases that for lack of room the state institution can not take. / “Then the North Carolina Sanator ium on its age old mountain in the North Carolina sandhills will l be “A glorious dream realized,’ and an insti tution of resusitation and eonserva tion of health for the people of the state in the land ’God left for his sick children’.”- ! about the work we were trying to dc and offered to help either by the loan or gift of the money necessary to tak< care of treatment fbr any crippled child. Also we offered to accompany any child to Gastonia and make all the arrangements. "Then after the people were pretty, well informed wc thought we wouic’ tackle the hardest case first and wynt after the man who was gding to shoot. I Well, we got him; his little boy was j entirely cured and the rest has beer j easy. \ ; ,‘(jv ■ j "Naturally all our cdork bps beep • among the poorer class, but others, .after seeing what we have done have taken their children for treatment and i paid the expense themselves. . And, I also, wc find that even ' -1 j est do not want to accept, charity but ' prefer to repay us in spall amounts ! so in order to accommodate this class i and make them feel that they are not j accepting Charity we' let them sign : a note to the club without interest. , This makes them feel that they have i a hand in helping others, and they .are making payments, too. We have • one case of a widow with an old mother and two children. She makes : sl7 a week in the telephone exchange i and her little girl had a tubercular foot, s Dr. Miller, of Charlotte and Gastonia, performed three operations and says that she will recover en tirely and is already much improved. Tlie hospital bill was $62 and Dr. Miller’s only $35, since he knows how we are handling these cases, and this j woman paid sl2 last month and $8 this month. I don’t know how sh* d<-es it, but she does and said that sh was gbing to pay something ever-. ; month until the bill was paid in full because she wanted us to use her money ft) help others. i "The climax of our work in this line came July 10th of this year when we Invited all the crippled children of the county to be our guests at our regular luncheon. They were to bring one parent with them. Dr. Mil ler was here and held a clinic that day to examine every child that came. We had as our guests 47 children, 53 parents and 11 nurses and doctors But some others came for tfie clinic who did not accept our invitation for lunch, and 79 children were exam ined. Seventeen had been treated, some of which needed to go back for further treatment, 11 could be helped immediately and some others at a later date, while 23 unfortunates would not be able to be helped. Trior to this luncheon and clinic one or more Kiwanians went to every home where a crippled child was known to be and personally invited them to come, giving the assurance that they were under no obligation whatever to take the treatment unless they withed. “Probably what I have written will alao help you to get a better start than we did, provided you are willing to put the work in it, because there in no doubt in our minds but that tbe personal work counts for almost everything and the money is second ary. “If can be of any help in any way please call on us.’’.

FLORIDA RATTLESNAKE CENSUS IS TOO HIGH RurilSt ll n Negro Tells Weird Tale cf Rattlers anti Seminole Indians. > Burlington. Oct. 2s.—Standing al J the Corner of West Davis and Worth 'street* this morning a negro who may be known as "Slim," “Skyrocket." "Foots." or "Roneo," was surrounded by a group of negro men, their ears perked, and each with his mouth wide open, listening to why—“l <d»o’ is doh lef Florida." "Do rattlesnakes down in Florida is terrible. I'm telling you. dey is as thiek as do palm trees. I wuz down on do east,' coast grubbing a place dey wuz plantin' pineapples. Ever time a palmetto shook I could see a big rattle, coiled up, shaking his tail an’ licking out his forked tongues.” The erowj stretched out a long “U-m-m-m-m-m-!” The negro let it be known that of all things in the world he didn’t mind any of them quite as much as he did a rattlesnake, seen or unseen. And next to snakes, contributing to his exit from Florida, now and for ever, i be added one other chapter. When he developed an attack of nerves too severe to take to the pine apple plantation, he got a job with a I company with «ome work to do on an island nineteen miles from Palm I Beach. That job struck him as a refuge from snakes, where be could la-j bor in peace, and nurse his nerves, bgek to where he could sing as lie sunk his pick. ■ The future looked brighter. "Well. I ain't sho’ where I wuz scared or no ’til I got off do boat | on dat island, and seen dem curious ' folk. Dey didn't have bn no clothes,, but a little apron, and dey couldn't ‘(ilk, but wuz saying something that , nobody could tell what, and dey com menced to do a curious dance round We.” He bad never heard of the Semi nole Indians, but the sight of these fellows, still living their life some what away from civilization, aroused in him the memory of “folk that eat folk.” “Right d“n and dare,” he told, his Isteuers. "I looked down at dese number nines, and I sez, ‘lf you will ies give me one inch I’ll run all over dis island befor’ dey know I’se even tot started'.” He backed off a little, he said, to get behind somebody, with his mind made up not to hit a lick as wbrk there, unless it so happened that there was no way out of it. “Dev had dem bows and arrows, and gmis. and dey looked like dey might use dem. No. J sho’ didn’t like dem folks, wearing no cloiiiox hardly, and making dem strange noises, and doing dem strange dances." He slipped back to the boat and stowed away, while half a dozen of hem were looking for him. Nobody taw the sight of him, he declared, un til the boat docked back at Palm Searii. He went einto another story for his telling about trapping fuT in the everglades on a drainage job, and looking quickly about to see that none of these ghosts were on his heels', he broke off— " Florida is alright if you like it. 1 don’t like it !” YOUNG MAN DROPS OUT ;i OF SIGHT AT CHARLOTE Iredell County Youth, Scion of a Prominent Family, Subject of a Search- Over Several States. Harmony, Oct. 28.—Dr, R. Glenn Grcsee whp has been conducting a .search for his missing 17-year-old ■brother, Gilbert, since Saturday morn ing, returned to his home here last night without finding auy trace of the •pissing lad. Dr. Grose had made a quick trip, of investigation to Jack sonville, Fla., and other cities south of here, where Gilbert Grrse bad been reported to have gone after leaving uddenly at midnight Friday. The public is generally informed that young Grose, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J L. Grose, prominent North Iredell people, secretly left his ome Friday night and had a boy 'riend, Clive Wooten, drive him to Charlotte in a Ford roadster. Both boys were students in the Harmnoy High and Farm Life School of this place and both belong to prominent families. Young Wooten returned to his home and says that Gilbert Grose ! id not tell him just where he ex acted to go from Charlotte. He said the departed boy was de bating a trip to Detroit, Mich, or Tacksonvi’le, , Fla. A ticket agent 'n Charlotte informed Dr. Grose that a young man. answering tbe descrip tion given of Gilbert Grose, bought a ticket for Jacksonville, on last Fri day night. Dr. Grose set out for Jacksonville and with file aid of va rious persons conducted a search Ihere (rod in Columbia, 8. C. Other cities have been combed for the miss ing boy with ho results. The prominent of the Grose family gnd the unusual manner of young Grose’s departure have aroused great interest in Iredell county. Hundreds of wild rumors regarding his flight have been circulated with no apparent justification. No Religious Test Permitted. I Tbe Pathfinder.. m Question; The Supreme Court de-’ clared that this is a Christian coun try. If the people should elect hig’4 officials such as president and vice president who are not pronounced Christians, and if there were a test case made before that court, is there a chance that such officials would be declared unfit and legally incompe tent to preside over a Christian coun try? Answer: This question is based on a mistaken notion. Tbe constitution says that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." Besides the Su preme Court did not decide that this is a Christian country. In the case Church of the Holy Trinity vs. the United States, decided in 1891, Jus tice Brewer made the statement that this is a Christian country. But that was mere dictum and not the point,;bf his decision. It ia very unlucky to have thirteen dollars on thirteen horses in thirteen races when none of them is a win ner. CRN.
