NEEDED," IS REPLY
Health Officer, In the
Meantime, Fights
Fever Plague
Dr J W Inrhea. lw»troii health of
fleer, Saturday raomln* received
this message from ine war depart
ment In Washington
'Hoe soon can you report for
duty T*
Dr. Inches i* on the Medical Re
servo corps of »h* Unltart tUate*
army. Without a raoment'a hoolta
tlon he flashed back bta answer:
“On the nev» train. If neceoaary.”
The health officer said that when
he joined the Medical Reaervf corps
It was with the Idea that he would
respond to a call when It came- as
beeomet. a physician, whether U was
In the middle of the night or while
at dinner.
“1 should not like to quit the war
fare we are having here with scarlet
fever,*' said the doctor, "bui I should
have to do It. It would be leans
ferrtng myself from one battle to
another I hope, however, that I
shall not be railed to anew fight
until we have triumphed over the
enemy that now besets Detroit."
Saturday morning reports indicat
ed that there are more than 1.100
U»s» of scarlet fever in the r|ty
The disease is growing dally, despite
the hard work of the department to
conquer It One reason for this Is
that tba fever this year neems to
have variations, The typical svmp
toms are not alwayn In evidence and
many persons and even physicians
are deceived The health oflleet has
laeued cards giving the typical symp
toms They appear In this order
fever, vomiting and rash on throat
and chest. Hpweter, In the present
epidemic the fever does not always
manifest itself in that way. Some
times the rash appears first on some
other part of the body. If
the typical symptoms aero Infallible,
Dr Inches says, the fight against
the disease would be wan much
more easily.
Frequently cases of fever are
found In schools where It has run
Its course and th*» patient didn't
know he had It. This kind of a
case Is quite as active a carrier as
would be one where the patient was
confined to bed Dr Inches urge*
parent* to notify the board of
health at once when a child be
comes ill with any symptom that
might even Hpp«*nach scarlet fever.
The h.altli department has expert
diagnosticiana who will be sent to
t«B> address at once without coat
to the family.

DETROIT TIMES
Let the investments of these
500 thrifty men and women
help make your savings grow
Some of Detroit’s shrewdest and thriftiest
men and women are combining their re
sources to invest in downtown business
properties. „
By banding together they will be able to
make more money than they could separately
and individually.
1 For the man with SIOO is fortunate to
receive more than 6% return on his money;
hairing exceptional returns, the possessor of
SI,OOO will average but little more.
But the man who has $50,000 or $500,000
is offered opportunities for returns out of
reach of the small capitalist who cannot
finance the large transactions with their pro
portionately greater percentages of profit.
Large sums of money bring greater returns
on each dollar than do small sums.
So the man who has not a great deal of
ready cash to invest is absolutely prevented
from receiving the big profits possible to the
large capitalist—except under one condition.
Do Not Expect Immediate Profits
TV formation of the Free Hundred In
ventors of Detroit was suggested by the
success of a real estate association m
Boston, termed officially "The Fifty As
sociate*," hut properly known aa ‘The
Fifty Millionaires *
These fifty men paid SIOO a share into a
common fund for investment in business
property Today their stock is worth $3,800
a share.
t Successful Everywhere
The tame plan has been operated success
fully for rears by the Fifty Associates com
pany of Toledo, the Hundred Associates
company of Chicago, and similar organtza
horn in Cleveland, Columbus and many
other cities -every one of which has
brought its stockholders satisfactory re
turns
If co-operative instalment succeeded so
well in Boston, in Toledo. Cleveland, Co
lumbus, Chicago and in many other cities,
surely its .•oaaibilities at the very least
would be equally great tn Detroit
Already Qpiraring 1
In menv roosting* the ptar of operation
has been studied and threshed over by the
founder* of the Five Hundred Investors of
Detroit. The safe, sound coarse of action
decided npon follows vary closely th*
ideas which haveproved to successful in
Boston, Toledo, Cleveland and elaewhere.
The Five Hundred Inventors Company
ha* hern i n rypncaied and ia now oper
ating It i? already a going concern
The capi'aliesrion wfll he increased to
$?40,00n immediately. A large part of
this has ab'-ady been aubecribed
Only S6O Down
The par ' alue of the stock is SDH) a
•hare, and subscriptions are taken in units
of block of six shares each.
The amount of Slock which any one iub
scriber may lake in any one year is limited
to eight blocks or 48 shares
The Five Hundred Investors Company
Care of H. A. Jones Real Estate Company
70 Washington BivcL. Cherry 5060 2nd Floor, Palmar Bldg.
A subscriber may reserve six, twelve,
eighteen, twenty-four, thirty, thirty-six, for
ty-two or forty-eight shares.
Stock may be paid for in full at the time
es making subscription, or on a time basis,
requiring the down payment of SSO and the
payment each month of $12.50 for each
block of six shares of stock. No interest is
charged on deferred payments.
For instance, the subscriber for six shares
pays SSO and receives a receipt for that
amount of money, and for each monthly in
stallment of $12.50.
Cadi or Tune
When his receipts amount to SIOO. he
may surrender them and receive in return
one paid-up share of stock.
Dividends—either cash or stock—will be
based on the money paid in by each stock
holder and the time it has been in the hands
of the company—just as interest is com
puted and paid by savings banks.
A peiudty of ten per cent, $1.25 per sl2 50
payment, is charged if payments are not
made hy the teuui of each month. This
compulsory savings feature is one of the
most valuable provisions of the plan
Stockholders Retain Powers
All important transactions, including the
purchase, sale, mortgage or lease for a
period of more than five years of any of the
corporation’s holdings are subject to the
approval of three fourths of the stock
holders.
It was the plan of the incorporators to
retain in the hands of the stockholders
every possible power—to a much greater
extent than is usual in corporation affairs
where most of the powers are delegated to
the board of directors and the executive
officer*.
We always retain the right to decline any
subscription for stock, so that we can pror
tect ourselves against undesirable stock
holders and against those who mav not be
able to keep up their payments. This is for
the protection of every stockholder.
He can do just what many people ot aver
age income* we doing —combine his resources
with many others like him. Then the avail
able capital totals enough to enter the field
of big investments requiring large sums of
money to finance them.
And because the soundest and most stable
of all investments —as well as the most
profitable—is central business property, these
people decided to confine their activities
to this one field.
You know—everybody kfiows —how down
town real estate has doubled and trebled in
value every few years—of the immense for
tunes made in central property in Detroit. m
If you combine with these 500 men and
women, this immensely profitable field of
investment is open to you and to them.
Your money will help them make larger
profits and their money will make more
money for you.
We caution every subscriber that he must
not expect dividends until the company has
fully developed all its properties, ana per
haps not then, if the stockholders see hr to
use the money for further purchases or
development. This is not a get-rich
quick scheme.
Profits from Increases
• Our primary purpose is to obtain the
profits arising from increased values of
property, and we want everyone to under
stand that, while we consider such an in
crease to be certain and large, it will not
come in a moment.
We w ill accept stockholders only on this
understanding.
This announcement is published in order
to obtain immediately enough subscribers to
make up the required number of stock
holders.
Many Subscribers
Most of those who have already sub
scribed are taking advantage of the de
ferred payment or "time'* plan— a number
are paying up in cash because they appre
ciate the possibilities for profits greater
*han they are now receiving elsewhere.
Many have taken six or twelve shares—
some have subscribed to more A large
number of subscriptions have l*een received
from out-of-town.
No subscriptions beyond f? 40,000 will ha
accepted and the right is reserved to reduca
or reject am suiscnptiooa in order to meet
that amount.
Interesting Information
We shal fr pleased to give anyone inter*
ested full details of tire plan or send our
booklet giving all particulars.
Subscriptions are now being taken at ths
offices of the company. An appointment
for Sunday or any evening may be ae
ranged by telephone or letter.
Call at our offices, examine every feat
ure carefully, and look over the reports
showing w'hat has been accomplished
with exactly the same plan elsewhere. „
