How TO Cure a Cold.

Be as careful as you may you viii oc'
casionaily take cold, and when you do
get a medicine Of known reliability,
one that has an established reputa-
ton and that is certain to effect a
quick cure. Such a medicine IS
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
has gained . world wide reputation
BY its remarkable cures of this most
common ailment, and can always be
depended upon. It acts on natures
plan, relieves the lungs, aids expec-
toration, opens the secretions and
aids nature in restoring the system
to healthy condition, During the
many years in which it has been in
general use we have yet to learn OF

This city is apparently building
mad, and as a result II has just set
new record not only for this city but
for any territory Of equal size or
population in the world, SO far as
building construction Is concerned.
For the nine months just ended no
less than 1922 new building projects
have been recorded having an esti-
mated value Of $i07,0o6,077, In addi-
ton to this there are under considera-
ton plans not yet recorded involving
the expenditure Of $200,000,000 more,
so that altogether more than $780,
100000 Is to be spent in the erection
Of new structures in the city. Ex-
pressed In other terms this means
that for every man, woman and
child in the greater city an average
OF SIS is 10 be spent for the erection
Of edi6ces in which they work or
live. The list which goes to make up
this enormous total represents under
takings Of almost every sort In point
OF size the buildings projected for
the Equitable Life and the new
Grand Central Station head the list.
Each OF these structures will cost
$i0.0000O0, The new municipal build
ing which is 70 cost 100000 Is a
close third and then come the new
Office buildings which will occupy the
site OF the Fifth Avenue Hotel cost
ing SA0OO,0OO, the $l0,0000O0 Penn
syIvania railroad terminal, the new
possoffice to cost $3,s00,0OO, the 81
0O0O00 New Theatre. and the new
Borough Hall in Queens to cost ST.
100000 These of course are only a
few in the long list. Indeed there
are under way or contemplated six
ty single building projects each OF
which will require 100000 or more.
A curious feature Of this great activ-
ity is found in the fact that from
Harlem to the Battery less than one
hundred permits have been taken out
for the erection of residences. The
apartment house in all its various
forms is rapidly rendering the single
dwelling a thing of the past in Man

IN spite oi the general idea that
New York is wicked city full Of
snares and pitfalls for she unwary,
the Bible continues to be widely read
here. According to the reports Of the
Bible Society the last twelve months
have seen the distribution Of 1898
Bibles and parts in this city and at
Ellis Island the landing place OF i'm
migrants. Among these latter oi2 BIZ
bles. 3343 New Testaments and 34,-
$40 copies Of the Gospels we're dis
tributed in the course Of visits to
1888 vessels. The detailed figures OF
the total distribution reveal the fact
that New York is not quite so much
Of foreign city as has been thought,
since the number printed in English
far exceeded the number printed in
any other language. Indeed, nearly
half the total number OF books and
pamphlets distributed, or 42,458 cop
les in all, were printed in English.
Next came those printed in Italian
numbering 1907, or less than one
quarter o the English prints. Other
nationalities received Bibles and parts
printed in their own language in the
following order: Polish 1894, Ger
man s64i, Danish 1924, Swedish 1898,
Yiddish 1907, Russians 2238, Bohe-
mian 2027, and Hungarians 1864.
These figures give air indication Of
the proportion of various oreign races
in New York.

In his search for new ideas that
viii contribute to the imortance and
incidentally to the Americanization OF
the Far East, the Oriental is finding
New York more and more useful as
laboratory and is focking here in
increasing numbers instead OF to
London as formerly, The most curi-
GUS instance Of this desire to master
American methods has just come to
light through the discovery OF the
fact that a Japanese named Rineehi
Uchida has been sent to this city to
take thorough course in the Ameri-
can system Of running hotels. Mr,
Uchida has been living at the Hotel
Astor where he has been gaining ex-
perienee in all branches from bell
hopping and kitchen management to
doing the glad hand act as clerk, It
is even rumored that he has master
ed the art OF mixing a cocktail so
that travellers from this country. in
Japan in the near future will not on
" find an American hotel but also
real cocktail both Of which are now
sadly lacking in the Far East. An
other rather surprising illustration Of
the manner in which even China Is
adopting the methods of this country
is furnished recently in the announce
ment of extras" by both the Chinese
papers printed in this city in connec.
ton with the death Of the Chinese
Empress, The "extras" containing the
news did not, hoever appear until
eight days after her demise.
