Living on 20 Cents a Day.

DR. Franklin White Harvard's expert on detetics,
holds that workingman can live we'll on 20 cents
day. 1T is not only possible to live on 20 cents
day" said he in recent address, but to do it
would result in bette health. People are
planning of the high cost of food but it seems as if
most of US forget the really cheap food. Take
cornmeal, for example, which costs 3 cents pound
A third of a pound, a cents worth, Of cornmeal
will make large quantity OF mush, probably more
than the average appetite demands. With cleo
margarine, and some cheap syrup 1T makes salts
flying, nourishng meal Two cents worth of syrup
would give the sugar element. man could do
hard labor such meal, the entire cost of which
would be about cents.
Another cheap basis for full meal is the po-
tato. To be sure, the potato by itself is not appe
uzing enough, but man can use boiled potatoes
and get his flavor from smoked herring. 1t is not
generally appreciated, | fear, that a herring is
better value for ones money in flavor and food
value than is expensive fish, such as cod
4 herring can be purcha ed for cent, and in some
places herrings sold at two for a cent AS for
the flavor, couple of herfings with boiled pota-
toes, oeomargarine, and salt will make the meal
really aPpetiziHg.
Undoubtedly man can sustain life on food cost
ing 20 cents day. Many Chinese subsist on rice
that costs not more than cents day. But it is
poor living and so is the menu which the Harvard
professor lays out. BY the way, we should like TO
know more about his diet and what it costs.
We have higher standard of living in America
for the people at large and it must be maintained
1t denotes higher civilization. 1t denotes better
average than is to be found in most of the ma
tons of the earth. There is no occasion for Amer
lean workmen to live on potatoes, oeomargarine
salt herring and cheap mush He is entitled to
have, and he insists on having wholesome victuas,
the best the land affords. 1t is his right and the
20 cents day argument doesn't go down, so to
speak Professor Whites 'dietetics" is not at all
satisfying 1t is almost offensive.
And yet, when all has been said, there is no doubt
that most OF US eat too intellectually too much
strong meat and too many sweets. We should be
better off in pocket and in health if We ate less
We spend too much ION the table and take too
much rich food into stomachs As a Conse-
qucncc we have indigestion day by day and Mysteries

The high price of foods may be blessing in dis
guise. 1t may teach to be more abstemious and
therefore. more prudent in our diet. Lent is also

A Paper OF Progress.

The much neralded new paper--t.ic
Richmond Virginian---has made It's
appearance, the initial number, is
sued last Friday. comprising sixteen
pages. The salutatory plays UP the
word Progress for all it's worth, and
outlines course that almost any
body could subscribe to, SO far as u
relates to the civic and commercial
side of things. A careful reading
of the aforesaid salutatory, however.
leaves "A distinct impression that be-
hind the new paper there is motive
that is not made plain. 1t had been
announced. or in some way word had
been passed along, that this ne"
paper was being brought into exis-
tence as an organ of the Virginia
Anti Saloon League. IL that Is, in
any sense, true, the writer of the
salutatory did not have the matter
sufficiently impressed upon him, as
the following paragraph Is all the
paper has to say on that very i'm"
portant question:
The declaration that The virgirian
will stand for moral progress In
dicates it's attitude toward the liquor
problem, which at this time engages
as never before. While not the
organ of any organization, holding
particular views as to the settle
ment of this question, The Virginian
is in hearty sympathy with the un-
selfish and laudable efforts OF those
reformers who are earnest and
honestly striving to reach a salts
problem. which is SO vitality related
20 the economic. intellectual, social
and moral welfare of society. All
news pertaining to this question
which properly belongs to the pub
lie viii be given fully and fairly. and
persons with whose views this paper
may be obliged to disagree are as
sured that they Will receive fair
treatment in our columns.
We submit that Is very feeble for
q prohibition organ. The statement
about call news pertaining to this
question which properly belongs to
the public" will probably need some
calculation in the future. when 1t
comes to be measured alongside that
other statement to the effect that all
will receive fair treatment In our
columns.
AS to politics the pnonunciamento
of the paper Is interesting. Out OF
a while broad measure column. this
paragraph covers the political end OF
1t.
While frankly declaring its purpose
to advocate Democratic principles and
to work actively for the success of
the party in all worthy endeavor. yet
The Virginlan will not resort to that
indiscriminate denunciation and mis-
representation of opposing parties
which Is characteristic of party or
gans The Nirginian assures MEM
bers of opposing parties that they
will always receive In its columns
fair treatment and polite considera-
ton.
There is an open admission that the
Democratic party is likely to be guilty
of unworthy endeavor." and in that
event the paper holds itself free to do
as it dog-gone pleases. The outcome
will be watched with Interest,"

Teachers. Pension Bill.

Public school teachers interested IN
the teachers pension act. whether pro
or contra, may be interested In know
ing that the pension act as amended
has been favorably reported by the
Senate Committee on Public Institu-
tions and Education. which virtually
insures its passage by that body. AS
amended, the bill allows teachers who
retired between 1902 and 1903 only
half the amount allotted to such as
retire after this bill becomes opera
tive. One of the Richmond papers,
commenting on the amended measure,
states that 1.-The bill is one which
meets the general approval of the
mem bers of the Estate teachers as
ISOLATION, and 1t was supported by a
majority of them. 1t provides for
an age limit and also fixes the maxi
mum which any retiring teacher may
receive in any one year"

The West Virginia Debt Matter.

D Several days ago The Virginian expressed the
6pinion that it would be worse than bIunder for

1dajor William A. Anderson in prosecuting her suit
against West Virginia to force a settlement of the
debt. The Senate has been denounced for passing
n bill to pay Major Andersons fee. In spite of all
That has been said to the contrary, however our
|0pdnion is in no wise changed And VIC believe
THAT the position of others is due TO misunder-
Eetanding of the facts
First of ALL it should be understood that the stat
E1te cited which provides that the suit shall be pros
Eecuted without expense to Virginia is merely an in
EftTuction TO the debt commission and does not pre-
Event the General Assembly from making an appro-
EPration to pay counsel. No law will be violated in
Fleftcr or spirit by such an appropriation The
onfy question is whether it 10 expedient or not for
the State retain Major Andersons services and

Whether so or not there is a growing impression
that the proposed investigation of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute by the board of visitors was
purposey and designedly postponed until after the
adjournment of the Gene al Assembly, lest the
disclosures might have some adverse influence on
the appropriation to that institution. We do not
make the charge, but the postponement has that
appearance.
The question has now arisen whether not the
General Assembly should make an investigation on
its own account. There are two sides TO that ques
tion but it is clear that the General Assembly
should know the true condition of affairs at the
Institute and the reasonss therefor before adj
journment If the board of visitors will reconsider
and hurry up its investigation to give that in
formation we'll; if not. then it will be perfectly COM
peent for the General Assembly to get at the facts
through an inquiry of its own.
