however, we associate with that of
our hrst president, and for this rea-
son, and not because Jean Antoine
Houdon was the leading sculptor of
MS time, is he sometimes mentioned
in the United States.
AS the first sculptor of his day"
Houdon was invited in 1884 by Thorn
as Jefferson, representing the state of
Virginia, to make a statue of General
Washington. On July %, 1885. the
sculptor, with three assistants, sailed
IN the company of Benjamin Franklin
from southampton, bound for Phila-
delphia. The journey required nearly
two months, and Houdon did not ar
rive at Mount Vernon until October

Washinoton as . Rov

A portrait of Washington as a bow
which has been in the city's posses
sion for 100 years and never public
~ shown is being exhibited with a
large collection of relics and portraits
CT the first president. The exhibit is
IN the old supreme court room in In
dependence hall, and is attracting
thousands.
The portrait of Washington as a bow
IS a group painting showing him
standing in front of a dwelling sup.
posed to be his boyhood home. The
canvas is 20 by "a inches. Other fig
ures show his parents. The. painting
IS of great antiquity, and why it has
oeen kept hidden by the CITY for a
century is a mystery.
The relics are very interesting and
include the pew which Washine ton

WAS OWNED BY WASHINGTON
Small Structure the Only Piece Of
Property He Possessed in the
National Capitol.

Known as the Washington Inn,
built and owned by George Washing
ton, and further enjoying the distinc-
ton of being the only structure ever
owned in the national capital by the
first president, this time-stained pile
had to come down to make way for
the park to connect the Union station
with the Capitol. It stood half a
block north of the Capitol grounds,
and years ago was known as the Ken
more house, and still earlier as the
Hillman house. In it's form it was
reconstruction of two houses built
by George Washington. In December,
1898, Washington wrote a letetr to
William Thornton, an architect, ''to
proceed in laying in materials for car
rying on my buildings in the federal
city" In the same letter, which was
written from Mt. Vernon, he said: II
saw a building in Philadelphia Of
about the same front and elevation
that are to be given to my two houses,
which pleased me. It consisted of two
houses united, doors in the center, a
pediment in the roof, and dormer
windows on each side of it in front,
skylights in the rear. If this is not
lncongruous with rules of architecture
should be glad to have my two
houses executed in this STYLE" The
architects and builders carried out
Washington's request. Washington
paid 1896 for the two lots on which |
the house was built, and valued the
houses at $4,000.

Raleigh. - P. P. Claxton, United
States Commissioner of Education,
and Bradford Knapp of the United
States Department of Agriculture
were speakers in conference held
here recently under the auspices of
the state department of agriculture
for the purpose of agreeing on a pro-
gram for united effort in further up
lift for the rural life in the state
through the work of the department
and through the rural schools.
Mr.. Claxton presented the general
plan he has worked out for advance
ment of rural life through the in
creased efficiency of the public
schools. He advocated consolidation
of schools so far as is possible with
out undertaking the public TRANSPORT
alton of pupils, which he believes to
be too expensive for school districts
to undertake. He wants school farms
provided in connection with each of
the schools and the principal of each
school to be a capable farmer as well
as school teacher
The farm he would have conducted
as a model and he would have this
school and the home of the teacher
to be centers of social life as we'll as
of educational uplift for the entire
community. He would end the exist
ence of migratory teachers" raise
the pay and lengthen the school terms
so as to give the teachers the stand
Ing and Importance in the community
mat their calling entities them to.
he would have the fullest possible CO.
operation between the schools and the
and special agencies for the
of agriculture end of ru-
raj conditions.
Mr.. Claxton believes that the |
schools can in this way become of in
'alculable benefit to the rural life of |
he state and develop the highest de-
gree of efficiency.
Commissioner of Agriculture W. A.
opened the conference with a
'rlef address and introduced Gov
'rnor Craig, who welcomed the mem
'ers of the conference and expressed
he deepest interest in the purposs
f the conference.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec.
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and 1rritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
litter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains Of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active
Drink lots of WATERFOWL can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
clst about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
]ure; makes delightful effervescent
llthla-Water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
