MEAL OF 1000 HEAT
UNITS FOR 10 CENTS
Reducing Cost Of Living by
Scientific Measures.

New Iork.-A scientific restaurant
ton for 10 cents is to be opened here
1t has been scientifically demonstrated
that enough properly balanced food to
keep an average man in good condition
is not expensive.
The food which it is proposed TO
serve mt this restaurant for 10 cents
contains enough Calorics (heat unitsl
for an average person doing light
work. Professor Graham Lusk of the
department of physiology mt Cornell
medical college has arranged the menu
based on the assumption that persons
engaged In different kinds of labor re
quire different amounts Of calories
A man who lies abed twenty four
hours requires only 1850 calories n
day; n rider in six day bicycle race
requires 10000 calories. A man abcd
for eight hours and in II chair fourteen
hours and having moderate exercise
for two hours requires $500 cnlorics
The average farmer needs $500 ca
tories.
The meal which will be served ut
this scientific restaurant will give ex-
actly 1000 heat units, enough for n
luncheon for man doing light work
Professor Lusk has arranged this
menu, giving 1000 heat units for 10

THE ONLY SURE WAY TO
SUCCESS.
Says the Boston Reliance:

Says the Boston Reliance:
In writing our editorial two weeks
ago on the new hotel, we stated that
in order to make any headway, the
Negro in Boston must engage for pro-
fit in every enterprise which the law
sanctions as legitimate and proper.
The following editorial was clipped
from the Charlotte Advertiser and
shows how deep-rooted this principle
is throughout the South:
Mr. Napier is wealthy man. He
stays in the harness, however, not for
his personal benefit but for the bene-
fit of the masses of the race. 1t is a
broadness of activity which every man
who claims title to business or pro-
fession should cultivate. We think
too much of ourselves in Boston. We
are afraid to get down among the
masses and work.
The success of the man does not
mean how much business he may do,
how much money he may accumulate,
or with what class in society he may
be affiliated, but how many men and
women of the race he can assist, by
the use of his money, his energy and
time, in freeing themselves from the
humiliation Of poverty and want"
We heartily endorse the stand TAX
en- by the Cleveland Gazette and we
can say for a truth that it very appro-
priately applies in Denver. We find
ourselves, after such persons leave
our midst, constantly defending, eX-
planning to some of our white friends
who believe in standing undauntingly
on the broad principle of equality
and equal rights to all, special priv
ileges to none" We quote from the
Gazette:
I'VE wish to warn our race contem-
poraries in the North, of the white
and colore representatives of South
ern educational institutions and or
ganizations, who come North solicit
ing funds, as rule, and who express
themselves. particularly when ad-
dressing white audiences and in in
terviews in Northern daily newspa-
pers, as favoring segregation. jim
crow institutions and various other
color lines. They are making it in
finitely harder for us
The time has come when every 10y
al, manly and intelligent member of
the race, in every community, espe-
cially here in the North, must speak
out in respectful way for the race
at every opportunity. Use your local
daily newspapers all you can in doing
SO. Stand up squarely, at all times,
for every right and privilege exer-
cised by other American citizens, and
oppose segregation and "jim-crow-
