CITY TO BE

MEMORIAL TO HUSBAND
Her Plans Announced for New spOtless
Town at Forest Hills Gardens on

MEMORIAL TO HUSBAND

\ New York, Nov. 25.--The preliminary
plans Of the Russell Sage foundation,
established by Mrs Sage as a memorial
T. her husband, for the establishment
OF model suburban city, providing
/ healthy and beautiful homes for persons
OF moderate means were announced yes
terday,
Briefly the project is to utilize tract
OF land at Forest Hills gardens, Long
Island, nine miles from this city, in lay
ing out a town for 800 families. The
Initial financial expenditures for the pur-
pose, it is announced, now amount to
s., 100000 How much more will be
needed to carry the plans to completion
is not known but the foundation trus-
tees say that Mrs. Sage is prepared to
supply all the funds required to carry
out her ideas.
Through yesterdays announcement it
is made plain the enterprise is not a
charity, but it is to be made self
supporting and yield a fair return up
on the investment. It's purpose, rather,
is to enable persons in moderate circum-
stances to own their own homes at a
minimum cost, while obtaining build
ings Of better construction than the aver
age individual could erect, and amid
surroundings and under restrictions that
win make the little city an ideal resi-
dence place The minimum cost OF pay
ing for home there, it il estimated,
viii be S25 a month, including principal
and interest.
The offices OF Sae foundation, who
are associated with Mrs Sage in the
enterprise are Robert w Deforest, presi-
dent; Edward H. Bouton vice president;
Cleveland H. Dodge treasurer, and John
NJ. Glenn, general director. The state

SCRATCHED so SHE COULD

II write to tell you how thankful I
am for the wonderful Cuticura REM
edies. My little niece had eczema for
fve years and when her mother died
took care of the child. It was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched SO that she could
not sleep nights. l used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment. did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could sec change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think 1t is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. I
send you a picture taken when she was
about IS months old.
"She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds Of
salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs
