Not^ only because Negroes
work in the lowest paid capaci

workers -ere found in largest
nvnmbers on the railroads o# the

which have followed the pattern
of other Southern industries in
that they lag behind the north

Your Food AnI Yrar Heallh
By Ckarlstta HoMtor
In the la> twenty years it has
been discovered t1^ good food
ii necessary for normal physical
development and sound health.
The scientists are realising more
and more etich year that grow
th and proper development of
the young can be determined
more or le&» by the character
and amount of food eaten.
In the hospit^d, laboratories
and universities of the world
progress that science is making
in demonstrating thevaluation of
food to the body in health and
illness is gresft.
No capable of perform
ing the daily duties that a«« e.T-
pfccted' if hondi^apped by ill
health. The Cy^me ’applies to atid
undernourished perion, and in
deed this ill health may develop
000 of which would be r>,id
workers on roads of the fouthern
district, Dr. Johnson said.
fiom the faet that proper noaish
ing food is no eaten.
We do not understand the
wcrking of the humdn body, osr
great machine, but we do know
if tho^body is deprived of the
food necessary for the mainten
ance of good health we will
gtiffpr, any mnteri.^1 when taken
into the body will (1) yield en-
«r(ty 2 build tissue, and 3 rejrul-
ate the body processes, but if
na food is "taken in to take care
of the losses which occur in the
activities of the body, the work
will go on in this m,i>hine of
ourr, but at -a great expense of
the substances the body is com
posed of and a great risk is run,
every movement' in the living
body causp.s an expenditure of
energy, ibut if the food supply
i^ '^Irquate in amount and char-
nctcr (lip body is protected.
The (Inthes we ware are made
of various materials to protect
