The following letter from Mr..

Respectfully,
R. O. Self, Clerk.
To help eliminate the criminal

DR.. WILLIAMS LECTURES
Splendid Address in School Auditorium
Last Night.

DR.. L. A. Williams, of the
State University, who is direct
ing the survey Of the local pub
lie school system, delivered an
interesting address last night on
the Present Educational Situa.
tion in North Carolina.
After reviewing the education
al history of the State in which
he showed that a real demand
for education has been developed
to the point where it can be no
longer supplied, he suggested
that a remedy for the conditions
must be found. This year the
University turned away 300 men
who wished to enter; 500 young
women were denied adm ission
t, the North Carolina College
for women, and the same stol Y
is to be told of other colleges in
the State.
The Remedyis is a more intelli-
gent interest which will lead to
expenditure of more money.
The late DR.. E. X. Graham
used to say that North Carolina
can afford all the education she
wants. We now spend 100000
daily on automobiles. Last year
we paid $169, 600, 900 in Federal
surplus and income taxes. This
shows the wealth we have, we
must spend more on the educa-
ton of our bo. S and girls.

No Tables, a Few Chair.

READ THEIR REPORT AND HELP
|. Them ELIMINATE THIS DISGRACE
Are we or are we not living in
the goth Century? This is indeed
an odd question but have you
ever visited the So called County
Home of Halifax County. If yo'l
have not, we would advise you
not to wait until you have time,
but take time, and take your car
your horse and buggy or your OK
cart and 60! And when you go,
do not 60 alone, take your friends
and neighoors that all citizens
may know of the disgrace Halifax
County has in its so-called
County Home. For those that
cannot go a little description of
what a committee from the
Woman's Club of Roanoke Rap
ids found might he we'll. This
committee was composed of the
President and three members of
the Womans Club, and we were
accompanied by DR.. Carter, the
County Health Officer.
As we took the turn from the
Halifax road. we found an attrac-
tive grove in which there were
eight buildings nicely painted,
so far so good; as we entered the
houses on the left we found
desolation and much filth and in
no room was there a basin or
pitcher. In one room where the,e e
were three negro women, one OF
them in bed (the only bed in the
ROOM, there were two mattresses
on the floor, with only dirty and
ragged quilts for covering, in
this room there were no chairs,
and in no room any lamp or light
of any kind except the fire which
was made of green pine wood,
so green that the tags were still
on it.
At the present time there are
sixteen persons in the County
Home, ten colored and six white.
A cook is provided from outside
the home, as nearly every one in
the home is disabled in some
way to care for themselves,
much less each other. Some
are cripples, some have been
paralyzed, some are subject to
fits. Two of the last named
having been badly burned by
falling in the fire.
The houses are old and in bad
repair, large cracks under every
door and in nearly all cases
no locks. on the doors rs-only a
wooden button. The walls are
cracked and very dirty, the
floors are bad and dirty. Many
of the chairs have no bottoms
and in one room there were no
chairs at all.
The meals are served in a
peculiar way. The inmates go
to the kitchen get plates and
carry them to their room. Are
there covered ways for use in
bad weather? No! Are there tables
for them to put their plates on
when they reach their rooms?
No! So the meal is eaten in their
laps, the meals, which are good
enough we might say, are: for
breakfast, coffee, three biscuit,
cornbread and three slices of
white meat, dinner, potatoes,
turnipsalad or greens, cornbread
and white meat; supper, three
biscuits cornbread and three
slices of white meat. Good
enough? But for three hundred
and sixty five days rather tire
some. Certainly not nourishing.

pigs are raised, no chickens and
consequently no eggs for the

Beware of the S0-Called
Egg Substitutes

20 per cent of fat and AS per cent
If protein when dried.
The only egglike characteristic
that these powders have is their
physical effect of producing Light
ness when used in cooking. This
effect can be obtained by the house
keeper much more economically by
USING the baking powder or four
tablespoonsful of milk and half a
teaspoonful of cornstarch already on
her pantry shelves.
The coloring matter may or NAV
not be a coal-tar dye, but regard
less of its character it's purpose is
to deceive and give IN egglike ap
pearance to an inferior combination
OF *ood substances. 1t has been
calculated by DR.. La Wall, in a
Pennsylvania state food bulletin dis
cussing the analysis Of some forty Of
these products, said that the usual d.
ounce package of egg substitute had
less than one-sixth of the calorie or
heat value of the eggs it was sup
posed to replace. 1t has none Of
the specialized food value of the
egg in body building, and IS it costs
une-third as much for one-sixth to
One-eighth of the heat value it is
hardly an economy. You pay twice
what it is worth at least when YOU
consider what food value you get for
your money, as compared with eggs.
The use Of such food substitutes
as these serves neither the purse nor
the health, and for growing chill
dren they are indirectly dangerous
We need always to be very careful
in making substtutions Of manu-
factured products for natures prod
ucts, especially when feeding .hil-
drcn, and there is no reason for
feeding the hardest adult a mixture
Of starch and dried milk instead OF
the fat and protein, the iron and
other valuable food ingredients Of
tho egg. Economic some other way.
