By M. A. Majors
What do you eat? It is not true
that' one's character, habits or dispo
sition can be determined by what one
eats. It is true that all people should
be educated in the thines that eive
them a mind for excellent distinctions
and fine discriminations in the choice
of food that must be nourishing to
the tissues and stimulating to the
brain and heart, also providing
strength for tendons, bone and mus
cle. Food that is of a nature that
assures easy digestion and assimila
tion upon which perfect metabolism
depends.
The vastness of human ignorance
is emphasized very pertinently on the
subject of food and its uses. Many
people should match their appetites
with their temperaments. A food that
in no instance should be eaten by
people who arc sick may, on the
other hand, be improper for a great
many who are welL
Health is an evidence of bodily re
sistances to disease. .Our bodies are
so constituted that we readily absorb
the unfit poisons, generate gases and
fermentations that wreck the physical
foundation which conduces to illness,
the result of ruthless violation of Na-
rture's laws.
Ignorance is always to be found
the cause, but even the rigors of
death can not be excused because
some person tried to digest or as
similate unfit articles of food.
All foods are energy and heat pro
ducers, but the proteins also fulfill
an important part, in the bnilding up
and replacement of bodily structures.
It always will be found that even
the ignorance of a king who may suf
fer with the gout and the bootblack
who suffers from diabetes are put in
the -same.Jass-pf violators of great
Nature's,' laws. The stomach should
always be given sensible if not sden-.
tific consideration by those who un
fortunately live merely to eat, instead
of eating merely to live.
The ignorant person demands a full
stomach! without any nice distinctions
or knowledge of what forces are
stimulated or what organs are de
pressed. The educated person uses
his meat, .eggs, fish, cheese, rice, ap
ples or nuts just as he would use a
f m ... . . -
suupic .rate oi aninmenc to worlc a
problem. He studies the essential
elephants nutritive powers of each
article of the food he would use for
its nutritive qualities.
.As long as people are ignorant of
the nutritive qualities of food and
heedless of the harm done by much
of what constitutes the provision for
tissue building there will be weak,
frail, scrawny, glandular unfortunates
with bent bodies and twisted legs, the
very expression of Nature violated
emphasized in these numberless un
fortunates among the poor and' im
provident. Something should be done by the
movies, the churches and other civic
institutions to give the public the
needed instruction on food and diges
tion. We are to regard the stomach and
its purposes from the analytical stand
point and ever foster the principles of
civilized humanity in our manners,
customs, conduct and cfiaracter. The
stomach and -alimentary tract should
merit just consideration in our choos
ing the victuals that are to give us
not only nourishment and strength
for a vigorous and active healthy
body but to maintain us against the
encroachments of old age and the ill
nesses of senility and decrepitude.
MR. WILLIAM F. HARRAH RE
SIGNS AS SERGEANT-AT-ARMS
OF CITY COUNCIL
He Has Been Selected as General
Secretary of All the Council
Committees
At the last regular meeting of the
City Council. Mr. William F. Harrah,
who succeeded the late William E.
Brown in 1916 as Sergeant-at-Arms
of the City Council, who started on
west at that time, never to return to
this earth again, resigned his position
which he had faithfully filled to the
entire satisfaction of all the city fath
ers, at the present time 'and during
the past.
Mr. Harrah has been for a long
time one of the most popular men in
the City Hall. He always greets all
comers with a broad pleasant smile
land with a clad extended hand: and
whenever any of the city fathers
would get to arguing strong and loud
and. felt like going to the mat with
each other, Sergeant-at-Arms Har
rah always succeeded in pouring
plenty of his smooth oil on the trou
bled waters, and he has always been
able to quiet the city fathers down
without laying his strong arm of au
thority upon them.
When it became known in the Gty
Council that Mr. Harrah had been
promoted fo be general secretary in
charge of all the committees of the
City Council, Alderman John Pow
ers, the dean or the venerable father
of that body, arose and moved that
a rising vote of thanks be extended
to Mr. Harrah "for six years of in
defatigable service in the Council's
behalf, and in an instant every al
derman was on his feet, manv of
them calling for a speech from Mr.
Harrah, but he ducked out and could
pot be found.
Mr. Thomas J. Courtney, who has
tor some time past been ably serving
as nrst assistant Sergeant-at-Arms,
was selected to succeed Mr. Harrah,
and Mr. Courtney, with his ever
ready smile, is as smooth as the
smoothest and stands high in the es
timation of all the dry fathers and
all the T)ig politicians that frequent
the Gty Hall and 'the Council Com
mittee rooms and it goes without say
ing that MV. Courtney will prove;
himself to be the right man in the
right place.
Littfc Rock, Ark. A new world
has opened up for "Uncle David"
Shaw of Hamburg, Ashley county.
For 87 years Uncle David's knowl
edge has been limited to such infor
mation as he could acquire through
personal contact with men and af
fairs. But now in a hand shaky with
age and unformed through experience
but still legible, Uncle David writes,
"I can read and write my name."
Last year Uncle David was num
bered among the state's 100,000 illiter
ates. Now through the efforts of
County Superintendent Fred McCuis
tion the teachers of Ashley county
and the Forward Educational Move
ment, illiteracy has been lowered to
the extent of Uncle David at least
E. B. Tucker, assistant director in
charge of the Forward Educational
Movement, said that Uncle David's
case illustrates ideally the ambition
of the Forward Education Movement
among the race and of other state
agencies for th'e eradication of illiter
acy. It illustrates the direct and prac
tical value of "opportunity schools."
These schools are institutions oper
ated by the regular teaching staffs
after school hours for the benefit of
adult illiterates and in Ashley county,
the school Uncle David is attending
has 33 other students regularly on
the roll.
Uncle David's age is more or less a
matter of guesswork as he does not
know himself the year in which he
was born, but he is conservatively
csumaiea la dc . tie was born a
slave on an Alabama plantation, but
has lived in his present home for 40
years, and will continue in school,
he says, until he is a "scholar."
