But there’s alwayi Castoriat As harmless as the rerip* on the wrapper; mild and bland as i< •tastes. But its gentle action soothes s a youngster more surely .than a men powerful medicine. That’s the beauty of this special children’s remedy I It may be given th« tiniest infant — as often as there a nead. In cases of colic, diarrhea 01 similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for j ust a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don’t eat well, don’t rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that’s needed.

The Central Park Zoo is the oldest and is even smaller than the Pros pect Park one in, Brooklyn. The one in Central Park draws many thousands of visitors, even with its; small collection of wild animals-. The hippo and giraffe are really about the only valuable animals in that Zoo. The exhibit which draws the most visitors and is hard to get near on Sundays is one that is nothing less than an ordinary farmyard, rather smaller than us ual for the number of denizens it. contains. Inside the fence are a mule, cow, goat, donkey, turkey, a few hens, geese, ducks and so on. And the public, most of them for eigners, stand and stare and dream, unless there are children along, in which case there is an outpouring of all varieties of languages. New York Signs— In certain neighborhoods certain languages take precedence over the English language, both in street conversations and in signs. The Williamsburg Bridge that connects lower East Side with Brooklyn, has some signs entirely in Jewish. Oth ers carry Italian and English. This same condition obtains in the southern portion of Central Park. On the north end, where the popu lation is mostly black, straight English is used. v Up in the Bronx there are quite a few places where German is used alongside of English. In other parts of town one can see signs in Arabic, Greek, and one eating place bears a sign in the Hindustani language, one of the oldest in the world. Nearly all of these foreign places are. eating places. The Russians have dozens of cafes, all bearing signs in their funny looking language. Lingual Shock— Away down town the other day we were strolling through the Per sian district. Several small boys were playing ball in the narrow street and using typical tough New Yorkese to express themselves. One of them had just yapped: at anoth er. “Gee, f chase yourself. We’re gonna play ball,” when a third story window opened and a pretty Assyrian woman looked out and saw the boy. He was wanted ap parently, as a musical stream of language issued from the woman’s mouth and the little boy looked Up, grunted just like any other Ameri can boy and yelled up at her, “Oh, alright. I’ll come up,” and the window closed softly. Syrian Shops— Within a cats jump of Wall Street there are lots of Syrian shops devoted to lingerie. For many centuries the women of the near East have been noted for their needlework and these shops carry a certain amount of such importa tions. But the mainstay for most of them are “importations” from New York sweat shops and look like very ordinary stuff. Even the prices are just about what one would pay in any shop in the land. The district is one of the few dis appointing ones in the whole city to us. That is except for the won derful bakeries the Syrians operate along Washington street, just around the comer from the under wear shops. ' New York’s Medical Center— Some years ago Edward Hark- ness left ten million dollars to found a medical center here and several blocks were bought uptown and $4,000,000 spent for buildings and another for fittings. The rest of the money is out on interest and grew so fast it worried the trustees. Recently they decided to spend the money on another medical center and they will probably “go broke,” as they want to do, in put ting it up. Both the wealthy and the poor are treated at these cen ters, attracted by the wonderful skill of the experts on the staffs. They are doing a vast amount of good in preventing disease and cur- inr latients. ~Buy Telephone Bond and Share First Preferred for Safety.
