Head Of Family Will Improve Large Plot Near Fifth Avenue
With Dwellings for Himself, His Children and Grand
children Follows Ideas of Morgan, Rockefeller
Baker and Woodwork Huge Fortunes in
City Home Groups

Little information has come from the
Cuttings, about the colony of homes to
be erected for the immediate family
OF Robert Fulton Cutting on Eighty
eighth and Eighty-ninth streets, just
east Of Fifth Avenue. The little in
formation that has been released by
the family indicates that the five
dwellings which are to be built on the
plot bought several weeks ago from
August Belmont will constitute one OF
the finest and most costly family dwell
ing colonies in New York. All details
of the plan have not been definitely
worked out. so that approximation Of
the cost of the desire of Mr.. Cutting
10 have his own children for immediate
nelghbors is impossible at this time.
The initial plan, however, indicates a
dwelling group that Will cost at least
5000 900, exclusive OF the value Of
the site. which was held for sale at
figure in excess Of $3.50, 600, which is
the valuation placed on the land by the
lax Department for taxation purposes.
Plans now in mind call fer three
dwellings fronting on Eighty-nlnth
Street. each to be 25 feet wide. and two
dwellings on Eighty eighth Street, one
of which will be the parent home Of the
group, the dwelling Of Mr.. Cutting,
director of the American Beet Sugar
Company and many other large enter
prises, but better known to New York
ers as citizen of the highest type,

cleansed civic and moral New York.
The homes facing on Eighty-ninth

now estimated, and will be occupied by
Mr. Cuttings children and grandchil-
dren. Fulton Cutting, son of Robert

Two Oldest Colonies
The Morgans have been many years
on Murray Hill, and West Fifty fourth
Street has known Mr.. Rockefeller for
long period. At any rate. both men
have carried TO a marked degrees the
paternal desire which has lived in the
hearts Of fathers since the world was
created. 1t has meant the outlay Of
large amounts Of money. The Morgan
colony is valued by the city's experts
at S2,0S5,000. Add another $1,O00.00o
10 this figure and one may approximate
the market value Of the two brown
stone dwellings, on the east side Of
Madison Avenue, between Thirty-sixth
and Thirty seventh streets, the Indiana
limestone library and the Satterlec
house on Thurty-sixth Street, and the
greensward and flower gardens that
separate these homes. The Morgans
would not part with the group for love
nor money, because Of the sentimental
value they have affixed to the colony.
Just how high this is may be
measured by the vigilance which the
Morgans have exercised over the
Murray Hill district. Under the name
of the Flintlock Realty Company, the
late j. P. Morgan and also the present
head of the family have bought prop

# KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidneys
and neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re-
suit from uric acid. says a noted au-
thority: The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where 1t often remains to ir-
ritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an
irritation at the neck of the bladder,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer Is in constant dread. the
water passes sometimes with scald-
ing sensation and is very profuse;
again. there is difficulty in avoiding 1t.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
il, because they can't control urina-
ton. While Il is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this Is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which
then act normally again.
lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and is used BY, thousands of folks who
arc subject to urinary disorders caus-
ed by uric acid irritation, Jad Salts
is snlendid for kidneys and causes no
had effects whatever. .@.s.1
