is the first case on record of . feuos of such proportions built purely as an investment. Its erection comes about through the fact that in building the Williamsburg bridge aoross the East River between Manhattan and Brook iyn. the city took all of . certain piece of property on the Manhattan side facing the bridge except . narrow ribbon of land three and . half feet wide and sixty-seven feet long. It was obviously impossible to erect any kind of an ordinary structure on this re- markable lot and there were no ad- joining property-owners to whom 1t could be sold. The landholder was rescued from his dilemma by an archi- tect friend who proposed the erection of a huge fence fifty-five feet high to extend the whole length of the lot This plan has been adopted and the for the display of advertisements. It occupies an advantageous position for this purpose since it faces the bridge over which hundreds of thousands of persons pass. Thus from his diminu- tive holding the owner of the lot will get . surface area of something less than one-tenth of an acre which he can rent and from which he will receive an income of a hundred and fifty dol lare 0 mOntus or 6S mucn d1 Roou- sized city house brings.

disease germs in the system, IS a common source. These morbid impurities get into the circulation, and the blood becomes a polluted, infec- tious fluid, which instead of nourish- ing the flores and tissues of the flesh,
 irritates and ulcerates them by con- tinually discharging its impurities into the place. Another cause for bad blood Is the retention in the system of the refuse and waste matters of the body. Those mem bers of the body whose duty it Is to carry off the useless accumulations become dull and sluggish in their action and leave their work imper- fectly done, and this fermenting matter Is absorbed into the circula- ton. The weakening or polluting of this vital fluid may also come as the results of some constitutional disease, especially where mineral medicines are used for 6 protracted time, while persons who are born with any hereditary blood taint are very apt to be afflicted with old sores.
