Pellagra scare in the south attacked as baseless
The piece argues that the United States Public Health Service overstated pellagra fears in the south and criticizes President Harding for endorsing the report. It notes Georgia food abundance, crop diversification, and few pellagra cases, insisting the scare was unfounded and harmful. It also highlights Sergeant Alvin York’s refusal to monetize his fame and his wish to return to rural life.
