GIFT BREAKS RECORDS.
John D. Rockefeller Surprises General
Educational Board With Present of
Thirty-Two Million Dollars.
Thirty-two millions of dollars’
worth of income-bearing securities
was the gift which John D. Rocke
feller, through his son, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., announced to the
general educational board when it as
sembled for a special meeting in New
York ,City Thursday afternoon.
“For general education purposes
throughout the country'* is given as
the purpose *of this donation —the larg
est single prize ever handed out tor
such purposes
Mr. Rockefeller previously had giv
en the board $11,000,900 for the same
work, his contributions now amount
ing to $43,0W),0iQ0.
The general education board appar
ently was not prepared for tnis gut,
w,hich was announced simply in the
fallowing letter:
“New r York, February 6, 1907.
General Education Board, New York
City. Gentlemen: My father author
izes me to say' that on or before April
1, 1907, he will give to the general
board income-bearing securities, the
present market value of which is
about $32,000,000, one-third to be add
ed to the permanent endowment of
the board; two-thirds to be applied t.o
such specific objects within the cor
porate purposes of the board, as either
he or I may from time to time di
rect, any remainder not so designated
at the death of the survivor to be
added also to the permanent endow
ment of the board. Very truly,
“JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR.”
Most of the members of the board
were amajed at the size of the gift.
The elder Rockefeller is not a
member of the board, but his son is a
member and the active direction
doubtless will come from him.
The board voted to accept the gift
and in appreciation directed a letter
to the elder Mr. Rockefeller, as fol
lows :
“The general education board ac
knowledges the receipt of the com
munication of February 6, 1907, from
Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., a mem
ber of this body, announcing your di
rection to give to the board for the
purpose of its organization security
of the current value of $32,000,000.
“The general education board ac
cept this gift with a deep sense of
gratitude to you and of responsi
bility to society. The sum, added to
the $11,000,000 which you have for
merly given to this body, makes
the general education board the
guardian and administrator of a to
tal trust fund of $43,000,000.
“This is the largest sum ever given
by a man in the history of the race
for any social or philanthropic pur
poses. The board congratulates you
upon the high and wise impulse which
has moved you to this deed, and de
sires to thank you, in behalf of all
educational interests, whose develop
ments it will advance; in behalf of
our country, whose civilization for all
time it should be made to strengthen
and elevate, and in behalf of mankind
everywhere, in whose interests it has
been given and for whose use it is
dedicated.”
The members of the board who w'iil
administer Mr. Rockefeller s immense
gift include some of the best known
educational workers, financiers, pub
licists and philanthropists in the coun
try.

Of Interest to Women.
Every woman naturally should b*
healthy and strong, but a great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing to
the unnatural condition of the lives we
lead. Headache, backache and a general
tired condition are prevalent, amongst the
women of to-day, and to relieve these con
ditions women rush to the druggists for a
bottle of some preparation supposed to be
particularly for them, and containing—
nobody knows what. If they would just
get a box of Brandreth’s Pills, and take
them regularly every night for a time, all
their trouble would disappear, as tnese
pills regulate the organs of the feminine
eystem. The -same dose has the same
effect, no matter how long they are used.
Brandreth’s Pilb have been in use for
•over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

W RELIEF FROM ECZEMA
For Over Two Years—Patent Medi

tors Fail— Cuticura Succeeds.
■“I was very badly afflicted with eczema
for more than two yearS. The parts af
fected were my limbs below the knees.
1 tried all the physicians in the town and
some in the surrounding towns, and I also
tried all the patent remedies that I heard
of, besides all the cures advised by old
women and quacks, and found no relief
whatever until I commenced using the
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Rem
edies I found immediate relief and was
soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippe

“I Was Given Up”
writes Mrs.[Eva Bashore, of Wapakoneta, 0., "by ten (10) doctors,
and the only hope they offered was an operation, for an abscess of
four (4) months growth, measuring about six Inches long, on my
ovary. I weighed only 90 pounds and was so weak I could hardly
walk across the floor. The trouble began by my taking cold at my
period, which stopped the flow. I doctored for nearly a year without
obtaining relief, until, as I dreaded an operation, I began to take
“I only used eight (8) bottles of Cardul. Now lam well, have gained 35 pounds
and work every day. Wine of Cardul saved my life. 1 cannot say enough for it and
will recommend It whenever I can.” Nothing could be more certain than the fact that
you need Cardul if you suffer from any of the disorders peculiar to the female
sex. It is purely vegetable, strictly medicinal, harmless, non-intoxicating, and per
fectly reliable. Cardul regulates irregular functions, relieves unnecessary female pain,
restores strength and Invigorates the system. Over a i.iiWoQ woman have been tene.
flted by Its use. Try it
