spent most Of last Thursday in our
city. In the afternoon he met most
all the stockholders of the Molhe

are residents Of this city, at the resi-
dence Of I. F. Ramsey, Ninth and
Olive streets. He owns several thou
sand shares, also is treasurer of that

One of the best addresses that pos
sibly ever was given in this city On
the subject Of Farming by an Afro
American was the one delivered by
J. G. Groves. the potato king" last
Thursday night at the Francis Street
Baptist church. Among the proni-
nent citizens seated on the rostrun,
were the Messrs. N. E. Hicklin, J. w.
Jones, Geo. w. Walker, ]. w. Golden
and Rev. J. II. Brooks. DR.. E. W
Thompson was master OF ceremonies.
The following program was rendered:
Invocation, Rev. J. H. Brooks; vocal
solo, Mr.. Edward Potts; address, Mr..
J. G. Groves; vocal solo, Mr.. w. A.
Brown, Jr., and ]. w. Golden, a rep
resentative of the Mollie Groves Min
ing and Milling Co, made q concise
address for that company and Sc
lection by the Mandolin club conclud-
ed the program, and during the in
formal reception for Mr.. Groves they
rendered few selected musical num-
bers. As the many readers Of The
Bystander have heard of Mr.. Groves
and his success in farming, We will
only say that We consider him one Of
our race leaders. He, like DR.. Wash
ington, is doing something that is
helpful to our race and substantiates
the truth, Give the colored man or
woman chance and they will make
good.

But it has been
found that all OF
them are the source Of much trouble
They come under the head of what is
known as vestigial remnants; that is
to say that we do not need them now
regardless of the part they played in
some prehistoric period of mans de-
velopment.
Tonsils are the remains Of gills;
there was time when man breathed
through gills like fish. Now they are
q means of furnishing bacteria a
lodging place, because they are not
strong enough to throw them off as
does the membranes of the mouth and
nose. They catch and afford a breed
ing place for germs which might 9TH
erwise pass by and be destroyed by
the secretions of the nose and mouth,
or if they escaped these two places
might be destroyed in the stomach.
When they swell as result Of some
acute infection, or grow large as a
result of chronic irritation they close
off the tube leading to the ear and
cause deafness on the part of childrsa
especially, or they set up a counter
irritation, giving rise to ear trouble,
which often destroys the ear drum.
The swelling and consequent crowding
of the throat causes mouth preaching,
which has the effect of causing the
nose and face to not develop proper
ly; the congestion incident to these
changes develops a thickened voice.
Those with large tonsils are prone to
sore threats and often to headaches.
People are terribly concerned abou:
the ability to sing after the removal
of the tonsils. Very few people with
large tonsils have good voices to start
with and the removal of them always,
without exception, improves the
quality of the voice. One had as well
ask why God made the sun, since it
is the cause of sunstroke, or why
snakes were made, since they kill peo-
pie, or why water was made, since it
browns people, as to ask all these
questions about anatomy and physiol-
ogy when the medical profession tries
to do only the thing to help people
live long and be rid of their annoy
ances. Little can be said for the ap-
pendix or for wisdom teeth which will
make one want to keep them if they
are making life miserable.
To many people, who like to know
all about things, Of which they know
nothing, the idea is prevalent that lit
always leaves person weak to have
an operation" While do not believe
in ruthless surgery, it must be admit
ted that many people are now happy
who would not be if it had not be,a
for the judiciols use of the knife.

Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown

impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of al bodily power. Mrs. Rosa
Bonner, 825 N. 18th ST., Birming-
ham, Ala, says:

GUS prostration for nine or ten
years. Have tried many Of the best
