THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, -1916. 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. 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. The \Lincoln seated figure and the head of Lincoln are prime favorites. Children flocked to thé 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 intentty, 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 sculfl- 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 Borglum’s own handwriting and so we had ‘Bolivia’ printed on the cata- logue,” said Mrs. Warren Blackwell. .

Take glass of Salts when Kidneys,, hurt or Bladd¢r 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 of water before breakfast and 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 nol longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak- ness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can- not injure; maked 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.
