the Negro question in the Southland

residing within the State, which had
rewarded him with high Office he
rreferred to occupy the southern
designation of "carpet-bagger' and
he moved into Perry w. Howard 8

ATLANTA, Ga, october ia suf-
ferer from one of the rarest diseases
known to medical science has given to
the international assembly OF the POST
graduate Medical Association of North
America the story of his struggles with
narcolepSy.
From the stage of the Municipal
Auditorium, where the assembly has
been in session this week. an Atlanta
colored man. the forty-fifth person in
medical history known to have been
stricken with the disease, told of its
attacks.
Persons suffering from narcolepsy,
said an Atlanta physician in discussing
the colored mans case. are subject to
sudden and complete loss of muscular
control.
Any sudden emotional shock, such
as a shout, laughter, a reaction to
music, or sudden pleasure, or thrill
ing scene in the movies, is likely to
bring on an attack of the malady, the
doctor said.
The colored man said he had control
of his mental faculties. but was unable
to speak or to move for few minutes
when stricken. The patient appeared
in normal health.
He said he had been in Government
hospitals in various cities for more than
10 years following an injury to the face
he suffered during the World War. The
physician told the assembly the case
was so rare that the patient had been
unable to secure disability compensa-
ton, although unable to work

DAINFUL, of course, are aching,
l. throbbing feet. But that isn't
the whole price you pay for ill-6t-
ting shoes. Foot-troubles injjure
your entire system. They result in
headache, nerve-strain. They lower
your vitality. They leave you fa-
tigued, worn out, at the days end.
Ask your physician-he will tell
you that ailing feet never should be
neglected.
That is one reason why so many
thousands of women today are
Ground Gripper wearers. For here
is a scientifically built, correctly
shaped shoe that gives the foot free
dom and Aexibility. Never a pain,
never an ache with Ground Grip
pers. And at the end of the longest
day, you're fresher, happier,
healthier, ready for an enjoyable
evening, as active as your day.
Evening star., 1928-10-19

Ground Grippers promise relief and
they keep their promise because
they combine the following vital
principles of the correctly built shoe:
l. The Flexible Arch, which al
lows the foot muscles to exercise
and thus strengthen themselves
with every step. This Aexibility
makes the shoe close-6tting and
comfortable, easing the foot while
assisting the arch to absorb the
shocks of walking.
