In addition to this, a large amount of raw material is already p ir chased and stored, together with equip ment for the conversion of this mi terial, and a large amount of the fin ished products which are on hand, which will easily show the assets of the company to he over one-half mil lion dollars. At the present time, the products of the company are ‘‘Dentlo1’, "Kaffir Kream”, "Sultox”. "Kern”, and a treat ment for advanced cases of pyorrhea. "Dentlo" is the best tooth paste ever sold. It is more than a tooth paste. It Is a pyorrhea preventive. Pyorrhea is one of the most dreaded of diseases and any toothpaste that will prevent or check its ravages, is a boon to humanity. "Kaffir Kream’" is an ideal skin food. Not only is it a vanishing cream, so necessary to every well bred woman’s toilet, but it Is a skin food which makes the skin smooth and 'soft, supplying it with the ingredients it needs. This was the first article put out by the Kaffir Chemical Lab oratories and from which the corpora tion takes its name. The demand for this product is constantly increasing. "Sultox" is a blood antiseptic that acts a a stomach tonic, destroying the poison induced by auto-intoxication to which many diseases are traceable. Col.

The members of this army of trained men and women supplemented by thousands of former students, many of whom completed one of the voca tions of the Institute, are scattered throughout the world, striving to al leviate the condition of their less for tunate brothers and to add their hit, in the spirit of their Alma Mater, to the progress of the race along all pur suits of endeavor. Severa,! institu tions have grown out of Tuskegee. founded by graduates of the Institute, to help further the work of Hooker T Washington, while Tuskegee Institute, under the leadership of Dr. R. R.
