the gift to humanity
Humanity, and especially the black sons and aaugh-
ers of Ham, has suffered much from sickness and death
for the lack of attention. 1t is true that man is his
Orothers keeper but declined to do in direct way
But in organized form humanity for humanity with
practically no expense. Such has been the work of the
A1ro-Amercan Sons Daughters for the past eight
The Custodian T. j. Huddleston, has operated the
affairs of the order in such manner as to win the hearts
OF all the people No would question the honesty Of

Germ would dare make step beyond that the or
daned leaders 1t is the purpose of the writer to become
great man in the service of his people, but he has no
desire to excel equa the work and fame of Hon. T.

There is only Tom Huddeston minor loss in
bank failure is the only financial difficulties the history
of the concern and this covered by taking fertile land
from the institution. Panics and other financial affairs

Much of thesendurance of the organization can be
credited to Dr. l.. T. Miller, President and Medical D-
rector Of the concern His matchess skill in removing
foreign growth from the human body and his scientific
methods of aiding nature in making repairs the human
system has caused thousands to cling today
