WISDOM IN FEEDING THE FAM
ILY.
Food is not necessarily nutritious in
proportion to its cost. Humanly, the
high-priced foods
appeal to the itn
agination and
they seem very
desirable, but !>y
stiffening the back
bone anil develop
ing will power we
are able to pa -
them by with hut
a longing glance, though tempted.*
The mother of a family should, of
all people, understand food values, for
she is in a position to build up healtny
bodies or tear down and ruin diges
tions. "Bad habits ruin life, as do
weak bones the bodies."
Protein foods are those most expen
sive and complex, such as meat, lish.
eggs, cheese and milk. Carbohydrates
are the starches and sugars, potatoes,
rice, macaroni and tiie various sugars.
Plant protein, such as peas, beans
and lentils, take the place of meat.
When the meat allowance Is small
these vegetables should be used free
ly, rather than cabbage, turnips and
beets.
An excess of meat is especially bad,
as that which is not assimilated clogs
the system and causes self-poisoning.
Brain workers need easily digested
food; muscle workers find coarsei
foods better suited to their needs
However, all need roughage (foods
that contain cellulose) to give bulk and
increase intestinal activity.
Let us not forget that milk and but
ter, yolk of egg and green leaves of
plants contain a growth determinant
absolutely essential to the growing
child, without which he will be stunt
ed and handicapped through life.
Diet should lie varied us well a«
mixed, substituting occasionally such
foods as rice and macaroni for pm a
toes.
By planning meals several days
ahead it will be much easier to ar
range a rightly balanced and varied
diet. We do not tire of the commoc
staple foods, but we find them very
monotonous served in the same old
wny. It is not posible to fix a genera!
dietary standard, as many things, such
as age, occupation, health and climatf
enter in to qualify It.

PRES.-ELECT KING OF LIBERIA
INVITES AMERICAN NEGROES
TO LIVE IN HIS COUNTRY
New York, N. Y., Sept. 16.—C. D.
B. King, president-elect of Liberia,
has a solution for America’s “Negro
Problem” if such there be. He is out
with an invitation to all dissatisfied
Negroes in the United States to go
over to his African republic and b«
happy.
In fact, he says, he came to Ameri
ca from Paris, where he was the Liber
ian delegate to the peace conference
to encourage Negro immigration tc
Liberia, and incidentally obtain as
sistance from the United States.
The Negroes in your country seen
dissatisfied,” he declared in an inter
view yesterday. “I do not attacl
blame to any one, but I do know thai
the opportunities for the Americar
Negroes in my country greatly exceec
those in the United States.
“We don’t know what race riot;
: are in Liberia. My countrymen run
the entire government and are advanc
ing in importance to the point where
i the American government has lent us
$5,000,000. We have a country the
; size of the state of Ohio, with a pop
ulation of 2,500,000, two colleges,
banks and an agricultural and indus
trial outlook that cannot be surpassed
anywhere.
“Liberians all talk English, as the
! country was started in 1848 by Amer
icans as a colonization project. Our
constitution is almost identical with
the American constitution. Great
Britain has supervised our customs
for many years, following a loan to
Liberia, but now we are asking for
an American protectorate, in effect
that will give the United States a
comercial foothold in Africa, if the
American interests wish to take ad
vantage of it.”
Mr. King said he hoped to arrange
with the American government foi
expert advisers in education, adminis
tration and the judicial branches of
government to be sent to Liberia.
TWO NEGROES LYNCHED
IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA
Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 17.—Two
Negroes charged with murder were
taken from the city jail here shortly
before midnight and lynched. A mob
of fifty men stormed the jail in
search of a Negro who was being hell
for assaulting a little white girl, but
who had been secretly sent to St.
Augustine, by court officers early last
night, following threats of violence.
Finding their intended victim gone
the crowd seized two Negroes charged
with the murder recently of George |
Dubose, a white man. took them to j
the outskirts of the city in automo
biles and shot them to death. They
then placed ropes about the necks of
the bodies and dragged them through
the city streets. One body was drop
ped in front of a leading hotel. The ;
other has not been found.
At an early hour the sheriff and
a posse were searching for members |
of the mob, but no arrests had been
made.
SYNDICATE CONTROLS
VALUABLE PROPERTY
Acquired It to Provide Sanitary and
Suitable Homes for Race Confronted
With Housing Problem.
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 10.—A syn
dicate of Negro capitalists, of which,
the E. C. Brown company of this city
i is the head, holds title to three large
properties in West One Hundred and
Forty-first street, three in West One
Hundred and Forty-second street, ex
tending the whole block from Lenox
avenue to Seventh avence, New York,
for a consideration said to be about
$1,500,000. The properties cover two
acres, and were built about seven
years ago by a Mexican syndicate, of
which the late President Huerta of
that country was the head. The prop
erties are apartment houses, contain
ing 1,466 rooms, divided into 306
suites. The properties were bought
by the late Philip A. Payton, a well
known real estate operator, in 1917,
anil the title holding syndicate has
been named the Payton Apartment
corporation.
Andrew F. Stevens, of this city, vice
president of the corporation, says that
the syndicate intends providing hous
ing for Colored people in better sec
I tions in this city, “thus avoiding the
unpleasant humiliation and segrega
tion that usually confronts us, both
in home-getting and pleasure-seek
ing.”
N. A. A. C. P. MEETS AT
ZION BAPTIST CHURCH
The Omaha branch of the N. A.
A. C. P. held its usual weekly meet
ing at Zion Baptist church with the
president, Rev. John Albert Williams,
presiding.
The grievance committee reported
the failure of the police authorities
to suspend Officers Brigam and Aim
strong held to the district court in
connection with the killing of Eugene
Scott in the raid on the Plaza hotel.
The committee declared that it would
be satisfied with nothin* less than
the suspension of these officers and
intended to leave nothing undone that
would bring about this desired re
sult. It recommended that the asso
ciation defer further action until the
committee had been given an oppor
tunity to confer with Mr. Ringer and
the commissioners during the incom
ing week.
A spirited discussion followed the
report of the committee, participated
in by a great many of those present.
The question was finally called for
and the . branch accepted the report
and recommendation of the grievance
committee as offered through its
chairman, Mr. C. C. Galloway.
Mr. Lemma led off the contribution
made to the defense fund by paying
his pledge of $5. More than $50 was
paid in by the members of the branch.
A. G. W. Sango, prominent attor
ney of Muskogee, Okla., addressed the
association, pleasing both by the hu
mor and the logic of his remarks.
The association adjourned to meet
next Sunday afternoon at Grove M. E.
church, 22d and Seward streets, at 4
o’clock.
SOMETHING ABOUT BASEBALL
The baseball season is fast coming
into the shadow of another year’s
retirement. The old pastime, loved
by millions, young and old, is indeed
worthy of the support given it by
the masses.
Baseball today is played in many
narts of the world to admiring crowds.
Many old folks are as keenly interest
ed in the game as the urchin whose
head still stands below the height of
the bat.
Not only do white people play ball,
but all races as well. In the history
of baseball the Colored race has pro
duced some marvelous players. Some
of whom it is said have, by hiding
their identity, taken part in American
organized base ball.
There are Colored players, members
of such organizations as the Giants
of Chicago who not only know every
rule governing base ball, but are ex
pert players as well, equal if not
superior of some of the foremost
white players.
Why Colored men have never been
admitted to membership in the big
leagues is only a lule of the white
man’s prejudice.
That Colored men can make good,
goes without saying, that has been
proved more than once. And that
play in which Colorel men figured
with or against white men could be
t d without trouble was shown
j during the late war.
Colored teams and white nines
played in many camps in France
and we have no record of any dis
satisfaction nor disorder.
The writer, who had charge of the
athletic training of Colored troops
stationed at Camp Funston had un
der his direction several teams, one
of which was entered in the Inter
mural league. By playing superior
ball the Colored team won the pen
nant and a fifty dollar prize hung'
up by the camp authorities.
These games were hotly contested, |
the Colored troops showing champion
ship form from the outstart. Many a !
high class feat was performed by
individual members of all sides and
perfect haimony prevailed always.
Not only did the Colored outfit have
1 members of their race as well wishers
and active rooters, but to the credit
of the white man be it said, many of
them aided greatly in assisting the
dark skin willow yielders to bring
home the bacon.
To Funston goes the credit of hav
ing. as far as we know, given the
first chance to a Colored team to
play in a white league of organized
base ball and do so with absolute
fairness.
