Beauty Of BndY.

A healthy body is a beautiful body, and
beauty of body is to be preferred to beauty
of face. 1t is easy enough for woman to
have good complexion If her body is in
good health. To insure good health it is
necessary to keep the stomach active and the
bowels open. This can best be done by the
use of Dr, Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the
great stomach, liver and bowel regulator.

THE REAL OWNERS OF CITY
Mortgages Cover More than
Two thirds of Realty Values.

Henry Bloch declares that Of the ss,oOO,-
900 of assessed real estate in this city
probably $4,000, 600 900 is represented in
mortgages on it
Have you ever stopped to consider who
really owned New York;" said he. Did
you ever realize that while the title to the
real estate is vested in the owners OF the
property a greater interest by far is held
by those who hold the mortgages covering
the property? That Of S.. 900, 900 OF as
sessed real estate, probably $4,000, 900 Is
represented in mortgages on it? That the
landlord is the popular owner and owner
In name, while the first and more substan-
ual interest is held by the mortgagee?
How vast, then, is the subject OF mortgage
investment. How enormous, when In one
year Q909) 1886 mortgages, representing
1914, ,12a 1856, were placed In the boroughs OF
Manhattan and The Bronx, and 29.sa9
mortgages, amounting to $106, ,8S1 ,0S6, were
placed In Brooklyn!
"A conservative mortgage on real estate
Is perhaps the choicest of the many forms
of investment offered In a cosmopolitan
city of more than four million Inhabitants
For absolute security 1t is classed with
government bonds and is one Of the few
forms of investment permissible to trus-
tees, executors, etc. by the laws Of the
state. 1t does not increase in value, but
neither does it shrink. The risk Of in
vestnent in business and the uncertainty
Of the rise and fall of a stock investment
are entirely eliminated. The rate OF in
terest is higher than is payable on gov
ernment bonds or on deposits in savings
banks. Altogether. it is safe, sound and
sensible investment, second to no other.
THE likelihood Of loss is placed at a
minimum. The owner takes care Of his
property to prevent the loss Of his money
Invested therein: he must lose everything

before the mortgage loses anything. For
the holder of a mortgage which does not
exceed 80 per cent of the value of the prop
erty a tremendous depreciation Is neces-
sary to endanger the security of the in
VeStment. Unless 1t covers property of
class peculiar to itself such as clubs, the
aires. factories, etc. which are always IN
desirable for mortgage loans on account of
the limited market which such properties
have, such a loss is extremely improbable.
The value of New York City real estate
may huctuate with the times: 1t may rise
and fall. but in the last analysis it will be
found that the amount of the increase has
far exceeded the depreciation. Land values
in New York have come to stay Our city
family consists Of a teeming population of
900 persons. AS many as forty-eight
thousand immigrants were poured into
New York, the gateway to the nation, in
single day. And all of the people must
have home and a place to work. The
city's increase in population each year
equals the entire population Of Albany,
falo. II is estimated that in 1850 the popu-
lation of New York will be ten millions.
AN investment in bond and mortgage Is
There is not even vague possibility of a
doubling in value. as may be the case in
stocks which sometimes artificially
driven up to a high mark by the manip-
uations of a chosen few. entirely regard
less of the true and intrinsic value of the
security. On the ether hand there can be
no such terrible slump in the value OF
mortgages as practically to wipe out the
entire investment and make those paupers
who the day before had beguied them
selves into blissful belief that they were
rich. when all they had was bundle OF
stock certificates which proved to be
worthless. The panic In Wall Street few
years ago. which even now leaves an after
math OF wrecked fortunes. furnishes so
glaring an example TO the would-be spec
tor as to be a lasting lesson to those
looking where and how to invest their
money
