PONZI INVESTMENTS
NO RETURNED MAY
REACH $1,000, 900

Boston, Aug. 17.-Five millions of
dollars was set today as the probable
amount of the public's money intrust-
ed to Charles Ponzi and not returned
by him before his quick-rich bubble
was burst last week. Edwin L. Pride.
the accountant who is undertaking the
Federal audit of Ponzi's accounts, ex-
planned that his preliminary report of
liabilities aggregating 100000. was
based on the face value of the unre-
deemed notes issued by PonZi, which
called for fifty per cent. profits in
ninety days. The actual money repre-
scented in these liabilities, he said,
would be between $4,500,0o0 and S.
100000
What proportion Of the debts of the
discredited financier are covered by
his available assets was still in doubt
Officials of the State and Federal
jurisdictions. pursuing independent H-

say how nearly correct Ponzi's state

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
.FIourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to date and its department
oe nursing is daily increasing this en-
.ollment.
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve Of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs Of the United States Public
Health Service to which II has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganiZed hospitals, dlspensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands OF women who
have never received any education In
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy 81 short while ago
has been put ahead at least decade
through the work of the department
of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been eX-
tended to many rural communities and
now tiourishes actively in hundreds OF
small towns and counties. Nearly
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nursing Is unit
ing with other organizations in years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
trimming schools, in educating the gen
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and In showing communities
their responsibility toward schools Of
nursing. II will endeavor TO meet all
these needs as we'll as 70 continue the
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
les. in developing nutrltional clinics,
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer TO women and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care OF the sick in
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dalton for public health but In some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
NoyeS. director Of the department Of
nursing. iii is logical that the COM
munity should he aroused to Its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in n general cam
paign of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
Of the medical profession as well as
the intelligent cooperation OF the
people ut large"

Red Blood for Pale
People!

A big supply of red blood corpuscles
is what helps to make any man or wo-
man have healthy, pink complexion
and cherry red lips. Resort to paint
and powder are totally unnecessary
and besides that, are harmful. Three
grain hypo-nuclane tablets, if used
regularly for several months. seem to
create a greatly added number of mil
lions to the red and white corpuscles
of the blood, and not only improve
the color, but add increased flesh to
the thin and frail body. These tab
let's promote assimilation, absorption
and digestion, and this splendid aid to
natures forces transforms the COM
pleXion and figure. They are pre-
scribed by physicians. but being of a
perfectly harmless character, self-ad-
ministration is being followed by
many, who obtain them direct from
any well-stocked apothecary shop
