FIRST AID TRAINING
TO men and women
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods.

The purpose of instruction in First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and lntelligently when
emergencies demand it. First Aid
treatment is not intended to take the
place of physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned az
precautionary measure where there
is an injury of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean fatality. In
such a case person trained in First
Aid is invaluable not only to the in
dividual, out through him to the COM
munity In which he lives.
There Is perhaps no way of ascer-
tanning the number Of deaths or seri-
GUS disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment. 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation of First Aid methods to each
case would immeasurably tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination Of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced farreaching and beneficial in
tluence in the prevention of accidents
OH railroads, in mines and in great In
dustrial concerns
The benefit of widespread knowl-
edge of First Aid in the event of q
great disaster such as 6 train wreck,
an explosion, an earthquake, etc., Is
obvious Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work includes
Q) the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, Of classes for in
struction in accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and in
every industry; (2) the Introduction of
courses of instruction in high schools
and colleges
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
Sonable prices.
Every person In this country able to
do so should. in his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and in
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND

More than S5,000,000 has been spent
by the American Red Cross in aiding
the stricken people of Poland. The
organization has nursed the sick, fed
the starving, clothed the naked, shelter
ed the homeless, schooled the children
and cared for the orphans there. 1t has
conducted a relentless fight against
typhus. cholera and other terrible dis
eases. SO today millions of men and
women in that resurrected nation
speak in grateful appreciation of THE
Greatest Mother In the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now engaged in relief ac-
tivities in Poland Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During the
last twelve months this organization
was largely instrumental in the re-es-
tablishment of million refugees at
cost for general relief of more than
S1,OOO000 Last winter one-half mil.
lion war orphans were aided material
ly, and since then a series Of large or
phanages have been established to give
them permanent care.
But for American Red Cross aid, of.
ficials of Poland declared recently, mil
lions of people in that country would
have perished of disease, exposure OF
starvation the last eighteen months.
And the work there must be kept m
for another year.

oNE-THIRD OF WORLDS GOLD
Back Of Every Victory Liberty Bond
No Safer Guarantee Than Our
Surplus Gold Possible.
Gold is the basis of all credit.

Gold is the basis of all credit.
The United States is now about to
enter fifth great popular campaign
for the sale of government bonds te
the citizens Of the nation. America
has contracted more than S5,O00,000,-
600 of debt since December 1 last in
paying war bills, and this money must
he raised by the people.
Every reader of this paper undoubt.
edly believes that United States gov
ernment bonds are the safest invest
ment on earth. But many of them do
not, perhaps, know just how to explain
their belief.
One of the reasons why United
States government bonds are the
safest investment on earth is that the
United States now possesses one third
OF the worlds gold. This has come
about as result of the war. The ma
tion had large gold holdings before the
fighting began in 1914, but since then
the nations of the earth have been
forced to send us shiploads of gold In
order to get needed supplies and main.
tain trade relations.
The Federal Reserve banks do not
hold, probably, more than two-thirds
Of this nations supply of gold, yet
they have in their reserves more than
one-half as much as the. state banks
| OF the next IA most wealthy nations,
and abroad the state banks have co
lected practically every gold piece that
the people possessed.
The following table bearing this fact
In mind, tells why the government
bonds are the safest investment
