BUILDING LARGEST AUDlTO-
RUM IN AMERICA.
AT BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C.
Structure Will Cost $500, 900 and Will
Seat 21,500 People.-Be Built Of
Concrete, Steel and Stone.

Black Mountain.-The first meeting
of the stockholders of the National
Festival Chorus Club of America was
held here at which an organization
was perfected and arrangements made
for the erection of the greatest audi
forum in America. The structure will
cost 100000 and will seat 81, 500 peo-
pie. 1t will be built of reinforced con-
crete, steel and stone and will be
ready for the opening event in August
of the singing of oratorios in one
grand united chorus of 1000 voices un-
der the direction of Walter Johannes
Damrosch, who is head of the musical
organization of the club.
Hon. Jeter c. Pritchard, ex-United
States senator and Judge of the Uni
ted States circuit court of appeals,
was elected president of the club. Mr..
G. w. Henshaw, capitalist of Winston
Salem, was elected vice president.
The board of directors is composed of
Judge Pritchard and Mr.. Henshaw;
j. Elwood Cox of High Point, J. B.
Blades of Newborn, Walter Thompson
and H. D. Shut Of Winston-Salem and
Thomas Woodroffe of Mount Airy.
The architect of the auditorium is

formances, the program by Damrosch
to be given the public Immediately
The auditorium will be entirely en-
closed and will be the largest struc-
ture of the kind in America and so
far as known in the world. 1t is to
serve the purpose for Damrosch in
America that the auditorium at Bal
reath, Germany, which was built by
the King of Bavaria for Wagner,
serves for Europe. It will have near
ly twice the seating capacity Of the
Balreath structure and barring one
representation auditorium in Cali
fornia, will be the only auditorium in
the United States where the Greek
plays can be presented.
The auditorium is designed to set
against the side of a mountain, a tract

Gently cleanse your liver and

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-

bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in

delicate brain tissue it causes con-

stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and

MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take Glass Of Salts to Flush Kid.
neys II 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 a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
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 rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys
The moment you feel dull acne IN
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by 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 irrfta-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
tnjure; 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

Tells why everyone should drink

before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half tn

If we all would practice inside-bath
ing, what a gratifying change would

half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should

checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
TEN nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth-
er sick or well, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a

it, as harmless means Of washing
out Of the stomach, liver, kidneys and

Millions Of people who had their

San Antonio again, as already the
chamber of commerce of that city had
placed at his disposal all necessary
ground and camp site facilities.
"
Step by step, upon recommendation
of various army officers, the govern
ment has developed Fort Sam Houston
in anticipation of possible trouble along
the southern boundary of the United
States. Today this post has an area of
more than 1000 acres. most of which is
located within the limits of San Antonio
proper. With its buildings, Fort Sam
Houston represents an investment of
between s6.ooo.oOo and s7.o0o.o0o.
In addition to the Fort Sam Houston
grounds. the army has. within few
miles Of San Antonio, at Leon Springs,
an eighteen-thousand-a military res
ervation. which is used as a target
range and maneuver field. On this
tract the problems of war in all of
their details are worked out during
times of peace. This range is in the
heart of a rough, hilly country, covered
with bushes and trees. where ambushes
are practiced and scouts are trained in
their difficult duties. To the uninitiated
the maneuvers on this field bring a
feeling of utmost security against all
odds, and makes one even prouder Of
the fact that he or she is an American.
The maneuvers at Leon Springs of
the regular army are of such splendor
and seriousness that the doubter is i'm
mediately convinced that the United
States Army is not thing to be trified
with. In many of the practices a real
state of war seems to exist imaginary
enemies are attacked, and the "red"
and the blue" armies are pitted against

direct railroad connections with the
above points. Fort Sam Houston is con-
nected by splendid highways with all
parts of the border, while railroads of
secondary Importance connect San An
tonic with practically every intermedi-
ate point along the entire border.
Not only is this post of prime
strategic Importance with reference to
the Mexican border, but IL the United
States should be subjected to attack
at any time from the Gulf of Mexico
the value of it's location could not be
overestimated. Four direct railroad
lines connect 1t with the gulf ports of
Houston and Galveston. two with
Corpus Christi. one with Port Arkansas
and Port Arthur, while within twenty
four hours an army could be rushed
into New Orleans and the Mississippi
coast towns.
clouds have had the effect of demon
strating the military value of Fort
Sam Houston with the result that the
entire nation has become acquainted
with this far southwestern military
station; but the Importance of San An
tonic as a military center was discov-
cred more than two hundred years ago
by the farseeing Spaniards who orig
inally came from Mexico to develop the
wilderness north of the Rio Grande.

Another important adjunct of Fort
Sam Houston, one whose usefulness
will be increased when the provisions
of the recently adopted army reor-
ganisation bill are fully carried out, is
the aero station. On a three-hundred-
and-twenty -five-acre aviation field, ad-
joining Fort Sam Houston, civilian and
military aviators are daily being trained
in the art of aerial warfare. There are
twelve hangars on the tract. while
eight war planes have been permanent
ly placed at the station.
-
This station is perhaps the first ac-
tually put into operation by the United
States Army fer military purposes only.
Here the young men who are the mod
ern eyes of the army are drilled in
scouting. bomb throwing and aerial
strategy.
There Is also at Fort Sam Houston a
remount station for the army, and the
majority of the $4,000 horses and mules
ordered for the army were concentrated
there.
All branches of the army are located
at Fort Sam Houston. infantry, cavalry.
artillery, signal corps. hospital, and am
bulance corps. engineering corps and
the aero squadron. In addition there is
located in San Antonio one of the i'm
portant arsenals of the country, and
within the past few weeks Congress
has appropriated $4,000 for it's en-

an army such as Is in the Pershing ex-
petition and is scattered along the bor-
der at this time. Food and supplies of
all kinds for this tremendous body of
men are handled through Fort Sam
Houston.
So great has this work become that
q small army of civilian clerks is
necessary to assist the regular army
officers. In addition 1t was necessary

cars, clothing and shoes for months to
come were '1aid in at San Antonio.

was that millions of dollars were spent
