BLACK BABIES

What the white Doctor Of Med
icine believed about the Negro
child in 1757) Nickel in 1857 stated
as a fact that the color of the
Negro child, when first born is yell
low, which becomes a shiny black
in manhood, and this statement
was practically repeated in 1852 by
DR.. Cartwright of New Orleans,
who claimed as a fact that Negro
children and white children are
alike at birth in one particular
they are both born white, and so
much alike, as far as color is con-
cerned, as scarcely to be distin-
guished from each other"

A BLACK LABOR AGENT

A Negro boy, Henry johnson,
sixteen years of age, was held
aboard ship at sea for a period of
five months, during which time he
was not permitted to inform his
mother of his whereabouts.
The boy was a resident of Wash
ingtOn, D. C. On September 26,
1879, he and several of his fellows
were induced by a colored man to
go with him to Baltimore where
the boys were signed aboard an
oyster schooner bound to sea, on
the representation that they were
20 years of age. Each was ad-
Vanced seven dollars from his pay,
which the colored man took.

life, as weight goes down health goes up. Persons who are greatly overweight are seldom long-lived. It is this fact, rather than the seen- ingly cruel dictates of fashion, that should be the determining agent in seeking weight control"
 Excessive weight, Miss Johnson said, is usually the result of eating dishes that may appear small to the eye but contain superfluous supply of calories. It is not simply ques- ton, she said, of maintaining bulk" since only 40 percent of the adults of the United States require this of their food. It is essentially a ques- jon of adhering to properly bal anced diet that includes a suffi- cient amount of calories (and no nore) for the individual, of food minerals such as calcium, phos- phorus, iron, copper and lime so essential for blood building, and an abundance of vitamins, the body's principal source of resistance to anemia and sickness.

WEIGHT CONTROL
 SOUGHT

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, June B. Back in 1904 group of serious med ical scientists gathered around a banquet table in honor of the late Dr. Henry P. Bowditch, professor of physiology at Harvard University. As they picked up the dinner menus in the great dining room of the Battle Creek sanitarium it was noted that the calorie value of each article of food served was listed.
 Since that distant time every meal served at the health center has been listed as to calories of protein, fat and carbonhydrates of each food item with individual calories. It is pointed out this enables the physi- clan and the dietitian to obtain full cooperation of the patient and guest.
 In the institutions dietetic kit chens weight of each article of food is taken on scales that weigh in grams.
 Tt is a painstaking procedure, " Miss Lottie Johnson. head of the sanitarium's staff of eight dietitians, declared But it is genuinely worth while. Mortality figures published periodically by life insurance com panies show that, after early adult

"Hiawatha's Boyhood". The play was
adapted by one of Boston's better
known directors, Ralf Coleman. The
success of the play was probably due
to the aid of such well known person
alities as Mildred Davenport, an out
standing dancing instructress, and
Doland Yates, pianist. The cast was
headed by Barbara Belts, Emily Lipp-
man, and Edith Yates. A beautiful
rendition of "Pale Moon" by Marjorie
Green was one of the highlights of the
evening. Florence Powell's dancing
delighted the audience. During the
first intermission, Mrs. Harriet Hall
introduced the guest of the evening,
Longfellow's grandson. The first
prize for selling tickets was awarded
to Mary Yates, the second prize went
to Emily Lippman, whose performance
as Minnehaha was admirable. The
