ONE OF SOLON BORGLUM'S TRIUMPHS "The Rough
Rider," a statue of Captain "Bucky" O'Neil of Colonel Roose
velt's regiment, made for Phoenix, Ariz. Replica on exhibi
tion at the Omaha Fine Arts Society show now.
HXfJ h 4 Wrr
A steady stream of art lovers
viewed the Fine Arts society exhibit
of contemporary paintings and sculp
tures of Gutzon and Solon Borglum
at the Hotel Fontenelle for the free
exhibit Sunday. Following the pop
ular concert at the Auditorium for the
Associated Charities benefit, the gal
lery was crowded.
The Borglum bronzes prove the
special drawing card, since this is the
first opportunity most Omahans have
had to view the works which have
made these two native sons famous.
ThesLincoln seated figure and the
head of Lincoln are prime favorites.
Children flocke(t to the exhibit in
great numbers and proved themselves
keenly observant art critics.
One young Omahan, son of a ma
tron prominent in the art society,
studied the seated Lincoln intently,
noting the tall hat which reposes by
the side of the martyred president
"Mother, I'm trying to imagine that
hat on Lincoln and I'm wondering
if it would just fit him. It looks
rather too large," was his comment.
Mother dutifully explained that in
the '60s hats were not worn to fit
so precisely as nowadays.
Members of the exhibition commit
tee who puzzled their brains over
what a bronze "Bolivia" might -be
when the advance list of the sculp
tures were sent by the Borglum broth
ers were set at rest when the statue
was unpacked and disclosed a figure
of the dashing General Bolivar, for
whom the , South American country
was named.'
"But 'Bolivia' it was in Gutzon
Bo'rglum's own handwriting and so
we had 'Bolivia' printed on the cata
logue," said Mrs. Warren BlackwelL
Father Is Trying
To Get Son Out of
Canadian Army
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Nov. 20. (Special.) At
torney General Willis E. Reed has
had his attention called to the fact
that Louis G. Hoveland, an American
citizen, has been pressed into the mili
tary service of Canada and will soon
be sent to France with other recruits
for the British army.
In a letter received by the attor
ney general this morning from the
father of the young man. G. B. Hove
land, who for many years was a busi
ness man at Newman Grove, but who
now resides at Eddyville, Mr. Hove
land says his son went to Alberta,
Canada, about two years ago to visit
his sister who resided there with her
husband. He went to work for his
brother-in-law and has lived there
ever since. He claims he is still an
American citizen, but the Canadian
authorities have pressed him into
service anyway.
Attorney General Reed will take
the matter up at once with the au
thorities at Washington through Sen
ator Hitchcock, who is a member of
the senate committee on foreign rela
tions. Plattsmouth Saloon Men
Will Enter Other Lines
Plattsmouth, Neb., Nov. 20. (Spe

the traffic have been casting about
them glances for other lines. One
firm has determined to engage in the
drygoods lines and will carry ladies'
furnishings, including tailored suits,
and cloaks. Another man has decided
to establish a book bindery here, a
line which Plattsmouth never did
have, and having been in that business
for the greater portion of his busi
ness career and knowing the busi
ness thoroughly, he will no doubt suc
ceed. Another one will engage in the
confectionery business and will carry
a line of soft drinks to sell. Another
has said that he intended to operate a
pool hall. Another will enter into
business in Omaha and the other two
have as yet not decided as to what
they will do, although one will enter
some line here in Plattsmouth.

Flush Kidneys
With Salts If

Noted authority says we eat too
much meat, which dogs
Kidneys.
, ' J
Take glass of Salts when Kidneys.,
hurt or Bladder bothers
you.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the kid
neys, they become overworked from
the strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from the
blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleepliness
and urinary disorders come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy; take a tablespoonful in a glass
ui wairr uciorc urcaKiasi auu in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no1 longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes' a delightful effer
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should, take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications. Adv.

HIS DATS OUTING
Hunting Trip On a Wet Day
Bring Painful Results.
Once upon a time Charles Mullen
of Philadelphia went gunning. It
wis a dismal rainy day, and long ex
posure to cold and wet brought on a
severe attack of rheumatism. He
was confined to his home.
A friend recommended Sloan s Lini
ment, citing his own case as evidence
of its effectiveness. Mullen bought a
bottle and applied it to his aching
limbs. Soon improvement was no
ticed and he was able to return to
business.
Mr. Mullen Writes: Since that ex
