as they are very welcome after the
winter diet of canned goods, dried
vegetables and root vegetables stored
in the cellar. A double purpose may
be accomplished in the country home
by the use of wild greens. namely
freeing the ground from weeds and
providing food. The common dande-
lion may be used in this way.
The dandelion is cut close to the
ground before the flower bud has ex-
panded. When it is desired to root
out the plant from lawn. the entire
root must be dug up; if simply the
ton is cut off, the dandelion grows
again and in larger head. The slight
ly bitter flavor OF the leaves is not
.disagreeable. The roots furnish a
bitter extract often used incidentally,
particularly in the domestic medicine
of early times. When cultivated, the
dandelion is milder and more tender.
and may be used as salad, as may the
very young wild plants.
Asparagus is long-lived, easily cul
tivated delicacy, and il is strange that
any farm should lack it. Many an
asparagus bed does good service to
the second and third generation of
owners. 1t can be coOl ed in many
ways. AS is the case with most green
vegetables its delicate flavor is spoiled
by overlooking. 1t should be cooked
only long enough to make it tender.
Spinach is favorite form of greens
and is seen in city markets most of
the year. 1t can be grown easily in
any garden. A French proverb calls
it the broom of the stomach" and it
appears to be richer in iron than most
common foods. The tenderest leaves
may be served raw as a salad.

the tougher or outer leaves OF the let.

Rhubarb is another liant in which
the leafstalks are the useful portion,
though it may from its use be classed
as fruit rather than as vegetable
The various acids and other favors it
containe are acceptable in the early
spring when it is at its best. Later
in the season, when the stalks are

of rhubarb is frequently forbidden to
persons of equity tendencies, or with

Preparation of Onions.

To prepare onions, peel under wa
ter so that the volatile bodies which
affect the eyes may remain in the wa
ter and be kept from scattering.
Where the onions are especially strong

one, they may be put, after peeling,
into boiling water, to each quart of

Often it is wise to take off one or

some of it may be reserved to flavor

HOW TO KEEP GOOD HEALTH

National Negro Health Week Pro-
noters Issue Some Timely Advice.
One of the things that the national
Negro health week. March 21 to q, Is
intended to do is to spread information
concerning how it is possible to keep
from having consumption. also what to
do to cure consumption, says the Ma
tional Negro Business league through
its president. DR.. Booker II. Washing
ton. For a long time it was supposed
that consumption was Inherited and
incurable 1t is now found that this Is
not true. Consumption is a disease that
is acquired and with proper care can
be cured.
Many things are necessary to over
come this monster, for consumption Is
a disease Of poverty and is spread by
bad houses. insanitary methods Of life,
carelessness and excesses. But Of all
things that help to overcome cOnsump-
ton nothing is so important as abun-
dant fresh air. Do you sleep in room
where you keep the windows tightly
closed in cold weather? Do you keep
out fresh air because 1t may "chill"
you? Do you work in room or a
shop where the air cannot enter? If
so you are hazarding your life and in
viting death
Open your windows and keep them
open at all times. especially during the
hours of sleep! If you have not cover
enough to keep you warm in cold
weather, save money and buy it. for
ample cover, permitting you to sleep
with your windows open. will do more
for your good health than all the medi-
cine you buy. If you want to live and
to keep from having consumption live
with your windows open!

THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO
LIFE.
Home Training Most Important.
Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.


Says Miss Mamie H. Burroughs.
The moral phase of the Negro
problem is the most serious part OF
the whole aggravating question. To
improve the standard of the life of the
masses is the only solution.
AS with other races, the standards
in the homes are set up by the women
who preside over them. Therefore
to bring about reform the woman
hood of the race must be taught
how to instruct their children in
those virtues, that have made the
most advanced races what they are.
We are prone to think that the
Negro is by nature religious and
therefore moral. He is both; but he
is not enough of either when it comes
to living up to fundamental principles
every day life. Because of his crude
conception of what the Christian re-
ligion really is he too often practices
one thing and breaches another
Often the foremost woman in the
church is so far from a model for her
less ambitious sisters that they look
with contempt upon her and dis
credit religion. This misrepresenta-
ton of the genuine article takes many
forms and sometimes the one woman
is a combination of all. She allows
beer drinking, card playing, and rag
time music in her home. She is loose
in her conversation. Her language is
often smutty. Her demeanor be-
comes a woman of the street. Her
home is hangout for sliding elders"
and loafing, hungry preachers. Her
house is poorly kept. Her children
are too young to be men and wom-
en- and too old to be children. They
are theregore the freshest things in
the neighborhood. They run the
church. They sit in the front heat,
chew gum, talk and keep their gang"
giggling. To speak to them is to
throw a match into magazine of
powder.
These wise and talented youngsters
of the leading sisters, get into the
choir and start trouble for the Choir
listers. They get religion and start
trouble for the deacons. These chill
dren of too many of those who aspire
to leadership in our local churches
presume too much on the standing
and influence of their mothers and
give our churches all kinds of trouble
What we need is new type of
women in our homes as mothers,
and new type of women in our
churches as leaders and examples for
the young.
The wig wearing, gum chewing,
beer smelling, mouth running, street
trotting, home neglecting, convention
fever type of women are out of style,
and from them may we soon be de-
livered

Evils of Enforced Segregation.

The Negroes of the South are pos
sessed Of two most excellent quail
ities-a desire for education which
fills every Negro school as soon as it
is opened, and hunger for land
which makes them eager to secure
their own homes and farms The
South needs laborers. Its resources
have only just begun to be developed.
There is wealth in the soil and under
the ground that has scarcely been
touched. The Negro and white peo-
pie of the South have come up under
the same traditions, and except as
they have been disturbed by polite
ians and demagogues they have lived
side by side in the greatest harmony.
The right sort of education which
emphasizes Christian service, makes
white men and black men better and
more helpful neighbors.
In some parts Of the South the Ne
groes of their own accord have settled
in certain sections by themselves. In
Mound Bayou in Mississippi and in
other places they have their towns
governed by Negroes. 1t is we'll that
they should have the opportunity
which these Negro settlements afford
of developing and demonstrating their
powers of self-government; but any
enforced segregation will result, as
DR.. Weatherford shows only in harm
to both whites and blacks 1t would
end in the Negro moving in large
numbers to the cities, which do not
afford him as good opportunities as
the country for the development of
integrity thrift, and character. 1t
would thus deprive the Southern
white man of the labor he needs.

branches throughout the country and
1000 members, while the Crisis has
reached a circulation Of over $4,000.
The platform Of the association is
broad, but uncompromising. Its Off
cial statement says:
1.-THE National Association For the
Advancement of Colored People seeks
to uplift the colored men and women
of this country by securing to them
the full enjoyment of their rights as
citizens, justice In all courts and equal
ity Of opportunity everywhere. 1t ia
vors and aims to aid every kind of
education among them save that which
teaches special privilege or preroga-
tive, class or caste. 1t recognizes
the national character of the Negro
problem and no sectionalism. 1t be-
lieves in the upholding Of the constitu-
ton Of the United States and it's
amendments, in the spirit Of Abraham
Lincoln 1t upholds the doctrine Of
all men up and no man down. 1t
abhors Negro crime, but still more the
conditions which breed crime and.
mobs in the mockery of the law or by
individuals in the name Of the law.
ut believes that the scientific truths
Of the Negro problem must be availa,
BILE before the country can see its way
wholly clear to right existing wrongs.
1t has no other belief than that the
best way to uplift the colored man Is
the best way to aid the white man to
peace and social content. 1t has no
other desire than exact justice and no
other motive than humanity"
Telling Points at Annual Meeting.
At the recent annual meeting two
happenings may be emphasized: First,
the awarding of the first Spingarn
medal, worth 500, to Ernest Everett
Just Of Howard university for distin-
tuished research in biology; second,
the proposed program for radical Ne
gro advance laid down by DR.. w. e..
B. Du Bois. DR.. Du Bois said. in part:
eve need not waste time by seeking
to deceive our enemies into thinking
that we are going to be content with
a half loaf or by being willing to lull
our friends into false sense Of our in
difference and present satisfaction.
The American Negro demands equali-
ty-political equality, industrial equali-
ty and social cquality-and he Is never
going to rest satisfied with anything
less. He demands this in no spirit of
braggadocio and with no obsequious
envy Of others, but as an absolute
measure Of self defense and the only
one that will assure to the darker
races their ultimate survival on earth
"Only in a demand and persistent
demand for essential equality in the
modern realms of human culture can
any people show real pride Of race
and a decent self respect. For any
group, nation or race to admit for a
moment the present monstrous de-
mand Of the white race to be the in
herftors of the earth. the arbiters OF
mankind and the sole owners Of a her

create nor even improve to any great
