The follow ing unsolicited testimonial tells of the failure of others to bring relief and of the great benefit received by ? the writer from wearing glasses fitted by Dr. Masrow. Tabernacle, Matthews Co., Va. March 11, 1918. Dear Dr. Masrow. It is with utmost pleasure that I write you of the great good you have done for me. J had been suffering with my eyes for a long time?had glass es from two different oculists, but for all that I realized that my eyes were gradually grow ing worse. It soon became ap aparent that I could not do without glasses at all. You fitted me with glasses (Nov. 5th, 1917), which I wore for ninety days steady, at the end of which period you changed them for another pair. Words can scarcely extyess the wonderful change that has taken place! I can now do without my glasses for an hour or two at a time, with no bad after-effects whatever, and I seldom have a headache or pain about the eyes. I owe it alT to yon, and shall ever urge thoae who Buffer as I have suf fered te go to yoo for relief, as I feel sure that you will be able to help them if anybody can. Respiitfidfy yours, (Sigisetf) Mrs. B. T. Hurst. Or. Murow'i Office is in the Dickson Building, cor ner Gr&nby and Tazewell streets.

I ONE HUNDRED MERCIFUL MILLIONS By HERBERT KAUFMAN ONE Hundred Millions for the Red Cross and not one penny of it tor red tape. The mightiest charity, the noblest and broadest volunteer movement of history. . The Red Cross shares no enmities, serves no flag but its own. It is God's agent, His healing, merciful will?the answer of twenty ever-gentler centuries to red barbarism. Twelve million orphan children are wandering about Europe?twelve million frightened little boys and terrorized little girls, sent adrift to sob alone and perish in the wastes? to live like swine and die like curs, unless magnificent America ransoms them from death?and worse. How many of your pitying dollars will search the deso lations and save them tor Tomorrow's works ? The Red Cross needs another Hundred Million, to glean the battle areas for this precious seed before it jots in mind and body?before grief and horror and disease and unre straint irrevocably hlight them. One Hundred Millions to prevent famine and stifle pesti lence, to stamp out hideous fevers, to check an earth-wide wave of tuberculosis, to destroy shuddering filths where verminous plagues feed andtared and threaten all the uni verse. ; ' '? ? One Hundred Millions to found hospitals and build rest stations, to send nurses to the Front and refugees back, to forward surgical units and furnish artificial limbs, to buy medicines and operating instruments, to re-educate the muti lated and show the blind where Hope still shines. One Hundred Millions to maintain communication with detention camps, to provide war prisoners with food and decencies, to take messages out and bring letters in, to negotiate comforts and privileges for the captured, to buy blankets for them and clothes and books and tobacco. One Hundred Millions for No Man's Land?for stretchers and ambulances, for anesthesia and bandages and anti septics; to train nurses and orderlies, to outfit and transport skilled specialists, to make sure that a dear one shall have a clean, sweet cot and a sweet, clean giri from home beside it. One Hundred Millions to keep the world sound and wholesome, while the armies of Justice hold it safe. I Am the Red Cross HENRY PAYSON DOWST (With acknowledgments to Robert H. DiTt% author of "I Am the Printing Preaa."} I am the Symbol of the pity of God. I burgeon upon the flaunting banner of victory and the drooping guidon of defeat. 1 am the token of peace in the midst of battle, of gentle ness shining through the sombre mists of hate. 1 am a chevron on the sleeve of mercy, an honor mark set high upon the brow of compassion. 1 am the color of blood spilled for democracy, the form of Christ's tree of agony, and my followers, at need, crucify themselves to make men live. 1 carry the hope of life into the red pits of death, and a dying soldier'salutes me and smiles as he goes to touch the hand of God Almighty. 1 stand for the organized love of mankind, the co-ordinat* ed impulses of young and old to do good, the sacred efficiency of human service. I mark the flag under which are mobilized the forces of industry and flnance, of church and school, of capital, of labor, of genius and of sinew. I am Civilization's Godspeed to those who defend her; I am the message from home. I am the Symbol of the pity of God.
