To Whom it May Concern:
This is to certify that I am "looking"
better than I did three months ago,
and that it is all because I am "looking"
through glasses fitted to my eyes
by Dr. Lew Arntz of Des Molnes, opposite
the street car station.
Now this is no joke: I have tried
several years to get the help I needed
for my eyes, once in Fairfied, one in
Burlington, twice in Chicago.
It would take $75 to foot the bills all
told. Each time I was told that all
had been done that could be, but it
I have met them and seen their need
of help. I take this way to tell many
more whom I may not see until it
be too late to help them, or perhaps,
not at all.
I would rather have Dr Low Aratz's ability to help the human vision than to be a millionaire. It is a fortune in itself besides in its use it scatters blessings on every side.
If you have any trouble with your eyes no matter what it is, remember it will cost you nothing to have him examine them and that he will tell you just what can be done and will do it if you give him a chance. I find him very reasonable in his charges. Remember he does more then merely fit a pair of glasses; it may mean a number of them as he develops your vision. You may be sure I am glad that my experience will let me say these things and I ask my friends to take this as a personal letter.
There are always two parties to a contract, and yet in a majority of cases but one is expected to carry it out.
"I am now 20 years old, and not until about eight months ago was I able to read ordinary print. When I was 5 years old I had the messages, which I see eyes almost every day. I was a little nervous, but I could not be cooled until I heard of Dr. Lew Arnts, of Des Moines, Iowa, whom I consulted, and had to fit my eye with glasses, which have brought out perfect sight. I can now see clearly. I have been taught to read and to parents tried, all kinds of remedies for me when I was a child, but at last gave up in my own mind. Nothing could be done, as my eyes contained practically no sight. What I must remember I had no chance to get an education because I could not see to read. I had not been consulted ten years ago I might be attended school like other children:

MILLION TO HIID NEGRO
Miss Anna T. Jeanes of Philadelphia Gives Fund for Lower Schools.
TO BE USED IN SOUTH
Booker T. Washington and Hollis B. Frissell Made Trustees to Arrange Work.
Philadelphia, April 23.—A gift of $1,000,000 for the establishment of a fund for rudimentary schools for southern Negroes was announced here to-night. The donor is Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a Quakeress of this city. Booker T. Washington, head of Tuskegee Institute, and Hollis B. Frissell, President of the Hampton Normal and Industrial Insitute are named as trustees of the fund, but neither of the institutions they represent will share in the gift.
The income of the million dollars is to be use for the so'e purpose of assisting the "southern United States community, country and rural schools for the great class of Negroes to whom the small rural and community schools are alone available." The deed of gift was executed yesterday and in it Mr. Washington and Mr. Frissell are empowered to appoint a board of trustees in connection with the fund. The Pennsylvania Company for Insurances on Lives and Granting Annuties of this city will act as fiscal agent for the trustees.
Donor Long Negroes' Friend.
Miss Jeanes, the donor is about 80 years of age, and comes from an old and wealthy family that has been prominent for more than a century in the Society of Friends. She has long been interested in the welfare of Negroes and has been a contributor to institutions for their education. She has known Mr Washington for a decade. In transferring the gift to the trustees Miss Jeanes states that "trusting and be-

biving in the practicable and far-reaching good that may result from the moral and elevating influence of rural schools for Negroes in the states, taught by reputable teachers, I do hereby appoint Booker T.

Trustees Outline The Work.
In a statement signed by Mr. Washington and Mr. Frissell they say that "While we cannot speak definitely, we feel quite sure that it will be the aim of the trustees of this fund to work in hearty sympathy and close co-operation with the county and state officers in assisting schools, and it will be the

"We think we cannot state too emphatically that not a percent of this money will to help the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute or the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute or to relieve in any way the needs of these institutions.

lished weekly by Messrs. Baily and Harris, who are the editor and manager. It is an interesting well edited journal. The Knoxville Review is another interesting newspaper of Knoxville, Tenn., with brother S. L. Pickson as its general manager. It is so well located that it can be very useful. The next is The Colored World of Columbus, Ohio, a very interesting and up-to-date weekly, eight page journal, edited by Edward A. Shanklin, who seems to be the right man in the right place. He has a large constituents to draw from and we hope his journal may succeed. The Colored Cumberlandian Presbyterian Mission of Nashville, Tenn., a four year old, four column four page paper, is another new paper to our office. It has a large field and its mission is good, that of spreading christian influence. The Lincoln Institute Record of Jefferson City, Mo., a paper for the student life of that institution, is a very welcome visitor. It keeps one posted about Lincoln Institute and her almates. Tinsue interested in higher education should take it. It is neatly arranged and well printed.
MAKING OUR NATIONAL RULER FOR 1908.
The American people, especially our leaders and newspapers, are attempting to select the probably standard bearers for the two great parties for the next year. While it is a little early to indulge in such early speculation, yet the colored man ought to discuss the available material who would likely be the best man for them.
The Democrats seem to have but two stars now and they are Wm. J. Bryan and editor Hurst of New York. Of the ideas and character of these two statesmen we would prefer the former, yet there is so little good in democracy for the Negro will not mention those now. In the Republican party we have the names of Hon. Wm Taft of Ohio, Secretary of War; Hon. Chas. S. Fairbanks of Indiana, Vice President; Hon. Joseph Gannon of Illinois, Speaker of House; Hon. H. H. Hughes of New York, Governor; Hon. Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, Hon. Robert M. LaFallett of Wisconsin, United States Senator and Hon. Joseph B Foraker of Ohio, United States Senator.
There seems to be many favorite sons. Secretary Taft seems to be broad minded and progressive; while Fairbanks is more conservative or standpat; Speaker Cannon will not be in the race very long; Hughes is not sufficiently well known to develop much strength. Governor Cummins is our choice and would make an ideal mau. Age, qualification and location makes him a formidable candidate; for the middle west must be recognized. Senator LaFollett is a strong man and Senator Foraker would make a great president, especially for justice and fair play, and is the only old soldier candidate.

A Woman Tells How to Relieve
Rheumatic Pains.
I have been a very great suffer from the direful disease, rheumatism, for a number of years. I have tried many medicines but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago, when I bought a bottle of Chamberslain's Pain Balm. I found relief before I used all of one bottle, but kept on applying it and so soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked—Mrs. Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Palm is a liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes rest and sleep possible. For sale by all druggists.
