Freer-Widener Art Collections
May Occupy One Building Here
Many Of Worlds Most Famous Paintings May Be Brought
Together Under Direction Of Smithsonian Institution.
No Home for Phiadelphian's Treasures.

Announcement that Charles l. Freer
is to erect a milliOn-dollar building m
Washington to house the art collection
he is TO present to the Smithsonian In
stitution has caused local art lovers to
jump at the possibility OF Mr.. Freer
being persuaded TO devote a portion of
the structure to the housing OF the IA
nous Widener collection, which Wash
ingtonians are attempting to have
brought to the national capital.
1t is understood that Mr.. Freer has
sold 1000 shares of Parke. Davis & Co.
stock at Sl25 a share and will utilize
the money for the erection Of the art
building here. Mr.. Freer ~ well known
as a collector. his Whistlers and ORR
entail antiques being especially note-
worthy.
May Request This Change.
About the only obstacle in the way OF
capturing the paintings for this city. In
preference to Philadelphia and New
York. is the absence here of a suita BILE
home for them. The announcement con-
corning Mr. Freers intentions offer a
POSSIBLE solution of the difficulty.
As officials of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton are greatly interested in bringing
the widener collection to this city. and
as the Freer Building will be under their
control and management, 1t Is possible
that a request will be made OF Mr.. treer
regarding the matter.
Charles D. walcott. director OF the Ma
tional Museum. under whose supervision
the Freer structure now is being design
ed, expressed some doubt yesterday as to
whether the collector would consent TO
the proposal. However. he seemed In
terested in the suggestion.
Any Chance Worth InvestiEnting.
Local art enthusiasts are extremely
hopeful that before plans are agreed upon
for the Freer Building. something can
be done to bring the matter to the con-
sideration of Mr. Freer and Mr.. Widener

GET The Habit OF
DRINKING HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally now
instead of loading their system with
drugs. What's an inside BATH" you
say Well, it is guaranteed to perform
miracles if you could believe these hot
water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass OF real
hot water with a teaspoonfYl of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is intended
to flush the stomach, liver, kidneys and
the thirty feet of intestineS of the pre-
vious days waste. sour bile and indi-
gestible material left over in the body
which if not eliminated every day, be-
come food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels, the quick result
is poisons and toxins which are then
absorbed into the blood causing head
ache, bilious attacks. foul breath. bad
taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney
misery, sleeplessuesS, impure blood and
all sorts oS ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply cannot
get feeling right are urged to obtain a
quarter pound OF limestone phosphate
at the drug store. This will cost very
little but is sufficient to make any one
real crank on the subject of internal
sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on the
skin, cleansing, sweetening and freShen-
ing, So limestone phosphate and hot
water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. II is vastly more important
to hattie on the inside than on the out
side. because the skin pores do not alb
sorb impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
