Red Feather Helps

He was just about to start UP the

left those stupid children. Well. with
these Magic Green Shoes on my feet

So back he whisked. There lay
the chocolate cake just where he
had placed it to entice the children
into his cave, on a little wooden table
that was covered with a white
napkin.
"Well, WE'LL" said Twelve Toes in
a quandry, II can't carry a choco-

Food Value or the Potato
(By DIR. X. II. Bishop

Food Value or the Potato
The potato now holds first place
in the vegetable class. 1t is impor-
an first because of its high starch
content.
SO important is starch as an ar
ticle of food that DIR. Wiley esti-
mates that the people of this coun-
try eat $4,000, 000,0 00 pounds every
year, an average of $50 pounds for
each of us.
Another strong point in favor of
this vegetable is that it contains a
comparatively high amount OF min
eral salts. 1t is particularly rich In
potassium salts and iron, whereas,
in common with most other vege-
tables, the content of sodium chic
ride, common table salt, is low.
Salt is the only form of mineral
matter that needs to be added to the
average mixed diet, as the rest OF
the much-needed minerals are pres
cnt in proper amount if we eat the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-09

right quality of property foods.
Every adult needs at least n thlrd
of an ounce of salt daily, but the
average mixed diet contains nearly
this much if properly seasoned. NO
matter how much mineral matter we
eat in the form of vegetables, there
is little danger of changing n nor
NAL composition of the important
fluids or tissues of the body by such
means since excess mineral matter
is eliminated. However, there Is al
ways the danger of eating too little
mineral matter.
The pairing of potatoes in the
careless manner so often done caus-
es a loss of the food subtances OF the
vegetable. The skin of the potato
has in itself a definite food value,
and if the potato be baked the skin
possesses an appetizing flavor.
There is evidence to show that
frying a potato raises its fuel value,
so that it contains over 80 per cent
of fat, whereas in it's original state
it contained only one-tenth of one
per cent

James ". johnson Replies
To Criticisms of His Preface

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I have read the comments made
by Mr.. H. Z. Krehbiel in the Sunday
issue of The Tribune on my book, ''The
Book of American Negro Poetry" an
anthology.
Mr. Krehbiel limits his comments
and criticism to the preface of the book,
this preface being an essay on the
creative genius of the negro. In fact,
Mr. krchbicl limits his criticism TO that
part of the preface which speaks OF
negro music First of all, he records a
slight objection to MY use Of the term
"Aframcrican" instead Of afro Amer
ican,' which latter form he has used in
his own writings quite commonly. The
term which ! have generally used
throughout the hook to designate Amer
leans Of African descent is the word
"negro." ] used the term "Aframeri-
can" several times TO designate the
people of African descent on the whole
Western Continent. It is term very
much used by Sig Harry Johnston for
the same purpose. But this is min nor
matter.
Mr. Krehbie3's main criticism against
me is based upon the ground that
pay scant justice TO the negro spirit
uas and give undue space and impor-
tance to the origin and spread of rag
time He also states that ! do not
fully cover the ground and that have
left out the mention of great ny
colored men who wrote songs before
the popularity OF rsgtime-such men
as James Hemrlenway, of Philadelphia
who wrote a ballad entitled That Rest
So Sweet, Like Bliss Above published ID

He read Mr.. Johnson's preface and dis

what seemed to him its chief conten-

was done by negro musicians before
the advent of ragtme, and nothing in
ragtime between May Irwin's singing
of 'The Bully" and the creations of
himself and his brother. How much
Mr.. Johnson knew about the negro
musicians who composed and performed
