coLUMBIA-CoNyENTION CITY

Cincinnati has modified her forces
for worthy purpose-the attracting
of conventions to the city. "Conven-
ton City of America" is the name
upon which Cincinnati prides itself,
and every civic enterprise looks to-
ward the realization of that end. The
hotels are built with large auditor
iums and convention halls. and even
the business interests of the city are
adapted to the convenience of the
city's guests.
What Cincinnati is doing, Columbia
could do on a smaller scale, for Co
lumbia is the logical convention city
of Missouri. Dozens of meetings are
held here every year, and others
would come il proper conveniences
we're offered and a systematic effort
made to get them here.
Geographically. Columbia is favor
ably situated. As the seat Of the ed
ucational interests OF the state, 1t will
always be a convenient place for
holding meetings. In fact, many OF
the state organizations are closely al
lied with the professional schools
here.
One of the serious handicaps to an
active campaign for conventions is the |
inadequacy of hotel accommodations
in Columbia. Only the hospitality of
Columbia citizens has prevented hu-
initiating situations in the past.
What Columbia needs is a first
class hotel, modern in its plan and
equipped with auditorium and con-
vention accommodations. With prop
er provisions for taking care Of con-
vention guests, there is no reason why
Columbia should not become the Gin
cinnati Of Missouri.

STEVENSON AS A REPORTER

Few newspaper reporters are mas
ters of literary style, and some mas
ters Of literary style would never
make good reporters. Robert Louis
Stevenson, though one of the greatest
masters Of English literary style, was
a failure when he tried his hand at
American journalism.
When Stevenson arrived in Califor-
mia in 1879, he became a reporter on
the Monterey Californian at q salary
of 81 week. Monterey was then
small place which had sprung up dur
ing the '49 days. AS Sydney Colvin
tells It: Stevenson was not quite up
to the standards Of the Californian
and was soon discharged" He then
went to San Francisco and obtained
employment on another newspaper.
1t is told of him that one day when
the editor assigned him to "cover" a
Salvation Army children's excursion,
Stevenson turned in a report without
giving the names of the committeeman

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid.
neys n Bladder Bothers YOU
Drink Lots Of Water.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to litter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism. headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or IL
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast and in a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This IA
nous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also TO neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita'
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent 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
combinations. ADV.
