Minnetonka.

We gave one hour. of our un-
divided attention to her hair and
were finally rewarded by getting
all the way through to her scalp.
This hair problem was explained
to local beautician who very will
ingly volunteered to accommodate
US on our next trip and lend a
hand. The little girl was more
pleased with the sun glasses we
gave her than with our efforts to
improve her appearance. After
receiving our letter concerning the
little girl at Glen Lake, a state
supervisor came into the Spokes-
man. Recorder office to discuss the
case with US and expressed her ap-
probation for our interest and as
sistance. The children are doing
nicely and are well supplied with
toys and they seem so happy.
There are three new patients in the
main building. We hope to be able
to supply one new male patient
with some shaving cream and tooth
paste. This man has been out of
work due to illness for some time.
He has no relatives or friends in
terested in him.
We gave some large pieces Of
leather to the man who makes such
beautiful, useful articles out of
leather.
Miss Fiddler, head of the social
service department, is very eager
to have the hddies out there to see
the Phyllis Wheatley children in
their last dance revue. Hope it
can be arranged. Also wish they
could see that grand old couple,
Johnson and Dean who never fail
to delight their audiences, whether
they are adults or youngsters.
It looked like moving day at the
General Hospital last Friday.
Those who have been released are:
Fred McGrew, William Simms,
John Carter, Tyler Howell, Leona
Garfield, Sarah Pratt, and Alice
Wiley. Iva Wagner was expecting
to be released Saturday after a |
very brief stay. Mrs. Leah Peale,
1868 Fourth Avenue South, had
been admitted that morning. She
slept peacefully throughout our
visit. We talked to Wenzell Mil |
ler's mother in the Children's An
mex. She was very happy to tell
US her child has been treated very |
nicely. His improved condition will |
enable him to return home before |
long. Mr.. Thomas Monroe is yet |
at Park View. The men out there
were taking their greens and all |
the trimmings. Our one patient in |
University Hospital is improving |
slowly.

HERE and
THERE
y ". II. Smith

The American Magazine has for
years published the life story OF
American men and women who
have achieved outstanding success
in the face of many and discourage
ing obstacles. In its last issue the
American gives space to a Negro,
who, under the caption of 81 Am a
Negro" tells of his success in over
coming obstacles as great as any
that American manhood has ever
met. 1t is an interesting and grip
ping tale of Negro struggle and will
pay for the reading. I was espe-
cially interested in his conclusion
that the Negro group will go for
ward through the efforts of indi-
vidual members of the group rather
than through the development of
group consciousness by the masses.
In this connection I recall some
very fine examples of individual
Negroes that seem to prove the
point. One of the men met in a
recent Chicago visit is James
Knight whose Palm Garden restau-
rant on 47th street is not only the
last word in an attractive and up
to the minute business place, but
is as well the encouragement for
other business establishments on
this street that promise in time to
give this thoroughfare over to Ne
gro business entirely.
find the underlying principles
of this mans life very similar to
those upon which other men have
won their way and have deserved
a place in the American chronicles
of unusual success. Born in the
south circumstances cOnspired to
keep him from the education his
brothers and sisters acquired. He
went to work at a small job that
paid the munifcent wage of $1.O5
per week. And there he began to
build the cornerstone upon which
his later success was founded. For
he saved part of that weekly $1.O5.
In his quarter century or more
of life in Chicago he has held to
that resolve to save something OF
whatever he has been able to &C.
quire. Today, looking back over
the years, he is able to say, AND
modestly, that he has been able to
assist many friends and acquain-
tances in times of financial stress
but for himself he has never haC
to borrow a nickel from anyone
Save for the current obligations Of
his business, he owes no man 9
penny.
His restaurant specializes in the
best of food, prepared and served
in the most competent way and in
the satisfying atmosphere of the
most modern equipment. The
young women who serve are paid
good wages and are protected by
the management, in preserving the
self respect and good name each
must possess before being EN-.
ployed. Crowded to the doors by
patrons from all walks of life dur
ing the Joe Louis excitement,
was told that this was just the
ordinary appreciation of Chicago's
people for a business that caters
to the public without discrimina-
ton, but demands from every pa

ton for the established conduct of
the business.

WlII Power and Constipation

Wlll Power and Constipation
 From experience and observation over many years can consistently maintain that any one who Is habit ually constlpated and c slave to physic, enema or other unnatural in terference, can, if he will win free- dom for the rest of his life.
 VIII power means strength of mind, determination.
 The secret of the will power nee cessary to enable the victim of the physic habit to break the habit is Q knowledge of pysiology. Elemen- tary physiology, simple enough for any child to understand. If 1t is hard to teach the average layman this lesson because he knows so many things which amt so" He has been 0 lifelong student of ale manacs, testimonials and quack doc. tor bait, and hence he IS pretty thoroughly imbued with the idea of "autointoxication" or poisoning of the system by absorption of toxic waste from the colon." He has this morbid fancy so fixed in his imagin- ation that the truth scarcely makes any impression. The poor goof actually believes health, happiness and life itself depend on the daily use of one or another artiflce to "keep the bowels open"
 Very few, even of college edu- cated Americans, think 1t necessary to take Somtehing or do something daily to keep the respiration or the circulation active. The rostrum mongers and quacks of Yankeeland have not found it advisable to teach the gullible public that such regula- tors are essential.
 The function of the digestive tract including the intestines is as com- pletely under control of the auto homie or sympathetic. (uncon- Scious, involuntary nervous system as is the respiration and the circu- lation. Any textbook of physiology explains this, but somehow the fact does not stand out in testimonials, circulars, pamphlets and other bait.
 Food, medicine, massage, exer. else, constant watching or intros- pection, and various ways and means, of irritating or forcing action are oil as important or unimportant in the control or regulation of the action of the lungs or the heart aS they are in the control or regula- ton of the action of the bowel.
 The taking of Q laxative or ca- thartic seems simple, harmless procedure In any circumstance the wiseacre; yet 1t Is the straw that turns the scale against recov- cry In many cases of acute appen- dicitis, for example. But the voice of the honest doctor warning peo- pie about this and other injurious effects of physics Is drowned out by the clamor of the nostrum mongers and charlatanS crying their wares, and the great Yankee public sends S20,000,0o0 annually for laxatives under the gleeful belief that this shrewd trick keeps S20000,000 out of the pockets of the rascally doc- tors.
