0 CENTS DAILY FOR FOOD
PROFESSOR DECLARES MAN can
LIVE on SMALL SUN.

Boston, March 30.--The needed food
for one person costs only 10 cents "a
day, according TO Prof. ]. l.. Hender-
son, OF the Harvard Medical school.
He says also that all human food,
whether ii be OF the rarest delicacies
or the plainest fare. may be reduced
to Ave simple elements. two OF which
are water and salt, which cost virtu-
ALLY nothing, while the other three are
carbohydrates. protein and fat.
The average man of 155 pounds
weight needs only about four and a
aalf pounds of food per day, and this
quantity includes the 20 per cent Of
water, according to DIR. Henderson.
who points out that the essential food
values needed to sustain man for a
day may be purchased in the open
market for 10 cents.
DIR. Henderson is not advocating a
regime of dime day for meals, but
he cites this bedrock price of life fuel
as something which every man should
keep in mind, since when he pays any
more he is paying for flavor, for
cleanliness and for eonyeniences.
DR.. Henderson accords great i'm
portance to the matter of flavor in the
food; he holds that when there is a
lO-cent minimum for necessities peo-
| pie should see that they are getting
value for every cent they spend over
that sum in paying for flavor and the

BOOKER WRITES
ABOUT DURHAM
Praises the Thrift and Enterprise
Of the Negroes in Our City

In the current issue OF the lnde-
pendent, a well-known publication OF
New York, is a very interesting article
on Durham as "A City of Negro Enter
prise" by Booker T. Washington.
Booker T. made a trip TO Durham
some time ago and the enterprise OF
the negroes OF the city and the excel
lent relations existing between the
races impressed him very deeply,
He mentions the large number OF
industrial enterprises in the city own
ed ana operated exclusively by ne
groes. Among those especially noted
is the Durham Textile mill, the only
hosiery mill in the world owned and
operated entirely by negroes. A pc
culiar thing about the mill, as noted
By him. is that the products OF the
mill are sold mainly by white sales
men, and SO far as have heard there
has been no man to raise the color
question when he put on pair OF
these hose made by negroes. :" The
banks and large insurance companies
of the city are operated by negroes
also noted with surprise by him.
On the living conditions of the COM
mon negro laborer in the city he
says: Il saw no dead dogs or cats or
dead fowl in the streets as some
times see in our larger southern
cities. and | smiled no feyerish doors
from dens and dives. Neat cottages
stood where in many cities still stands
the tuberenlar shack, and well-cared
for children played in clean yards,
many Of which were adorned with
flower beds. everywhere greeted me.
There were windows with clean cur
tains and clean shades and substantial
furniture, devoid Of the cheap simmer
Of the insfallment house"
or the relation existing between the
races in Durham be says. "0f all the
southern cities I had visited ! found
here the sanest attitude Of the white
people toward the black. Disabused
long ago OF the social equality bug
bear. the white people. and the best
ones. too. never feared 10 go among
the negroes at their gatherings and
never feared 10 aid them in securing
an education or any kind OF improve
ment."
Booker speaks in the highest terms
Of General Julian S. Carr. Washing
ton Duke and other leading men of
The city. and OF the wonderful work
thar they have done toward uplifting
The negro race
In closing his article Booker tells Of
the work Of Major Guthrie. as a mem
Der 81 tho schoo' board. IN having
school buildings erected for the ne
gr0es. Some thirty years ago. on the
day thar. as chairman OF the board. he
selected the spot on which 70 erect
ihe Whitted graded school. a race riot
vas taking place in a nearby town.
Major Guthrie said 10 the other men,
bers o. the board. Il think i Is better

for the negroes than 20 shoot them
down Thirty years Of experience has
proved that be was correct
