BORROWERS AIDED
BY new LOAN PLAN
May Join Together for Mutual
Mortgage by Virtue OF
New York Rule

An eastern view on the subject of
mortgage loans. which has appeared
in the New York Record and Guide,
has excited much interest locally, as
it contains a statement of something
new, which is known as a "participa-
tion mortgage" Under this plan. so
lit is said, several loaners may join in
a loan on large piece of property
and thus reduce the difficulty of inanc-
ing.
Much has been said in recent years
OF the practice. common in Europe,
particularly in France and Germany,
of issuing long term mortgages under
a plan of amortization by which a
fixed percentage is annually paid off,
somewhat on the plan of a sinking
fund as applied to railroad and munich
pal bonds, and thus at the end of. say
20 years. the principal is entirely
liquidated. While this method, which
has much TO recommend it. is sue
cessful abroad, it is a question if il
the opposition of those controlling
mortgage funds, as the frequent
changes of loans means frequent
searches of title. Again, a mortgage
on a piece of property which can not
/ be satisfied. sometimes prevents the
sale of such. as it interferes with a
building operation which requires a
building loan mortgage to supersede
the one already of record. If the mort
gage has only a short time TO run,
ii may be paid Off by a tender of in
terest to maturity, while if it was
tfor a long period it would not be
practical in most instances The
builder would seek in an instance of
this kind some other location where
he would not be hampered.'
The Record and Guide says of the
New York mortgage brokers on their
practices:
Mortgages come under cIassifica-
tions and a mortgage broker is sue
cessful TO the extent of his knowledge
of the market. e., the location of.
and the kind of money seeking invest
ment. 1t is frequently the case, and
naturally so, when money is plentiful.
applications are scarce, and when mon
ey is hard to obtain. the borrowers
are more in evidence and seek the
mortgage brokers' aid. A careful
broker will look into the kind of ap-
plications presented before seeking the
needed money and ascertain if the
property is worthy the amount asked.
Unfortunately, there are too many
irresponsible brokers who make the
rounds of the lawyers offices with ap-
plications for loans. involving amounts
far in excess of a reasonable valua-
tion, and without, in many instances.
the authorization of the owner of the
property described. This course will
account for the difficulty placed in the
path of legitimate and reasonable ap-
plication, and causes a lawyer or trus-
tee to exercise the greatest care be-
fore considering an application, thus
causing delay and uncertainty. Such
would not be the case had the owner,
desiring to mortgage his property,
placed the application with a response
BILE mortgage broker. who is conversant
with values. Such care and forethought
usually results in placing the loan"

CHANCES FOR INVESTORS
GOOD ON PENINSULA A
Wage Earners With Little
Capital May Buy Realty

Most people are too. close to the
grindstoBe'' said j. r. Howell of Bald
win & Howell. They do not appre-
ciate the opportunities surrounding
them. When we get away from the
field of activity and get broad, birds
eye view of the real estate situation.
we are sometimes startled at opportu-
mites that have been right within our
reach.
For instance, there are hundreds of
men and women earning from SIS to
$3.50 month who make absolutely no
use of their money and get nothing out
Of it, Most of them baye from 500 to
$500 saved up, but for some reason i'm
aSine they can do nothing with it, This
is wrong and it is also wrong for them
to allow this money to lie idle when
by buying and selling little here and
little there they can, in a few years
time, accumulate quite sum for work
ing capital, which eventually might
make them wealthy
Il know of several instances during
the last three months where people
with "a couple of hundred dollars have
made investments which have already
netted more in. profit than they could
get in interest in five or six years
Baldwin & Howell have accurate in
forma tion in relation to the develop
ments down the peninsula. particularly
at Redwood City. They have watched
the growth of realty values for almost
a quarter of a century, and If it is
their opinion that big money is to be
made in any definite section it is GER
tainly deserving of investment. How
ellis statement that a couple of hundred
dollars can be used as starter is of
interest TO hundreds of wage earners
who have long waited an opportunity
to lessen the burdens upon their shoul-
ders and allow their money to do lit
tie of the work.

Taste Is Sure
 Stomach Guide
A Barometer Which Never Fails,
 Thouqh Seldom Believed.

nOugn SeidOm bciieNcu.
 Taste is the direct guide to the stom- ach; and the taste buds are connected by the nerves with the stomach itself. so that they represent its health or disorder. If the stomach or it's juices are out of tone the blood is fernented by change in the alkaline or acid condition, and these reach the mouth both directly and indi- rectly.
 ''The taste buds are in the tongue. and are mounted by ha.r-like projections called papillae; they cover the surface of the tongue
 "When you taste these buds rise up and absorb the liquid; inform the nerves; the nerves tell the stomach. and the food Is acceptable or not, just as the stomach feels"
 The above remarks on taste come from an eminent authority and simply explain why when one smells cooking or sees food one thinks he can eat, but when he tastes he learns the stomach is out of business.
 To the person who cannot taste alright, who reiishes no food and simply forces himself to eat, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets hold the secret of enjoyable eating. per feet digestion and renewed general health.
 Most men wait until their stomachs are completely sickened before they think seriously of assisting nature.
 When your taste for food is lost 1t Is a certain sign the stomach needs atten- ton. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure such stomachs. They restore sweetness of breath, renew gastric juices. enrich the blood and give the stomach the strength and rest necessary to general duty

 The match, played Tn the Madison Square concert hall. was 300 points up for 5000 and the championship.
 Sutton won the bank for the lead and failed to score. Slosson put 47 caroms on his string in the opening inning, many of his shots being of the 3-cushion va riety, and several of his open table plays being marvels of execution.
 Suttons first run came in the fifth in- hing, when he gathered 4S buttons in swift style.
 At the end of the ninth inning the score stood 102 to S9 in Blossoms favor. At the end of the 18th inning the score was l50 to 129 in Sutton's favor.
 Delicate nursing of the worries netted Sutton "A points in the 18th inning and at the finish of the 20th, he led Slosson 174 to 135.
 From the 2Sth to the S7th inning, Sut- ton scored only Il points while Slosson s string was going up at a rapid clip. Slut ton reached the POO mark in his 37th in- ming, at the finish of which Slosson had made 3S0.
