full in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, com.
bined with lithia, and is intended
to flush clogged kidneys and help
stimulate them to activity. It also

a delightful effervescent lithia

at 1315.1S17 F st. N. W., Washing.
ton is to become an important link
in the chain of SIS such retail credit
apparel stores operated by the
Julian Goldman Stores, Incorporated
east of the Mississippi river.
And with the opening here, Julian
Goldman, one of the youngest mer-
chant princes of the United States
he's SO years of age-inaugurates
an intensive program of expansion
which is to extend throughout the
South, with Washington as the
key city.
1t was by direction of Julian
Goldman that the building in which
the new retail store is to be located
was remodeled thoroughly and at
cost of 100000 by the Washington
construction firm of Schneider &
Spleidt. The building is owned by
the Federal American National
Bank of Washington.
Two floors, superbly furnished in
carved woodwork and specially de-
signed paneling comprise the store
over which a balustrade and a
grand stairv Y dominate. The first
floor will house the women's de-
partment; the second floor will be
devoted to mems and boys apparel.
Julian Goldman, directing head
of the chain store corporation, is
one Of the youngest men now lead.
ing in big business in this country.
1t was through his insight that the
system of giving credit based on
character was introduced and adopt.
ed throughout the stores which he
directs.
Within the space of some IL
years Mr.. Goldman, after pioneering
in the field of consumer credit"
created this huge corporation, dis
tributed its energies over a wide
territory, amassed a great personal
fortune and successfully demon
strated the sound values Of a new
financial policy in retail trade.
Perhaps no other young man is
under such close observation bv
American students of big business.
His entry in Washington business
circles is acclaimed by many as
decided boost for the Capital.

PRESIDENT IS URGED
TO COME TO THE west
Among Many Others, Mary
and Doug Offer Beverly
Hills Estate AS Summer
Capitol.

WASHINGTON, March 20. -
At the White House it is said
that since the adjournment OF
Congress the invitations to Nj
Coolidge for his appearance and
speechmaking in various cities
of the country have poured in at
a greater rate than ever before,
To date he ha saccepted none of
them. The White House spokes-
man made this pungent eXplana-
tory comment at this week $
press conference. ut would seem
that in view of the many mat
ters requiring the attention o,
the President at the present
time, he can better serve the peo-
pie by staying in Washington
and attending to the public bust
ness rather than going about the
country furnishing entertainment
or offering public instruction on
public questions"
The grist of letters proffering
summer white Houses" is also
large and growing larger daily.
Among the latest is an invitation
to spend the summer at Holly
wood, California; Pickfair, the
Beverly Hills estate of Mary Pick
ford and Douglas Fairbanks was
rendered the President with the
assurances from Mary and Doug
that it was nice house and
that he would be sure to like it.
The message was brought to the
White House by Congressman
Fairchild of California. Close on
his heels followed Congressman
Lampert of Wisconsin mith the
tender of a fine mansion near
Oshkosh in his state Senator
Nye of North Dakota arrived an
hour later and suggested the
Minnesota lakes.

.SPORTSMEN ASKED FOR
HONEST COOPERATION
Restrictions To Safeguard
Supply of Migratory Game
Birds To Be Submitted.

10 safeguard the huture supp4y
OF wild ducks, geese, and Otner
migrltory Wild fowl OF The West
ern States requires that increas-
ed restrictions be placed on
hunting privileges. Tins state
ment was made recently by Dr..
K. w. Nelson, chief of the Bio-
logical Survey, United States De
partment of Agriculture, in dis
cussing the probable nature OF
the amendments to the migra-
tory bird treaty act regulations
that may soon be submitted by
the department to the President
for PRONUNCIATION.
In making this statement, Doc
tor Nelson caIs upon ali sports
men to cooperate with the ue-
partment in any action that il
may take in restricting the an
nual number or wind uuCks and
other migratory game birds that
may be taken by hunters. lie
stresses the seriousness OF the
wildfowl situation in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast
states, one that may continue
with no permanent Improvement
until conditions can be remedied
in the Bear River Marshes, Utah
the Lower klamath Lake, Cali
fornia, and Malheur Lake, Oregon.
This must be done to give tine
birds sufficient fresh water to
combat the alkali poisoning re.
sulting from their congregatingi
in very limited areas. Until these
areas can be restored as health
full wild fowl feeding and resting
grounds the birds will have diff
Guilty in holding their own. Ten
porarily improved conditions com
ing from a wet winter like the
present, said Doctor Nelson, can
not Immediately bring back the
birds to normal numbers. Only
by building up the breeding STOCK
and providing the essentials for
the welfare of the birds can the
badly depleted ranks be restored
sufficiently to allow again the
good shooting formerly enjoyed
by sportsmen in many parts OF
the range of these birds.

MICKEY TAKES K.O.
IN FIRST ROUND
Morrison, Substituted For
Headrick, Sends Wallace
To Mat With Terrific
Heart Smash.

Tonopah, April mickey Wal
lace passed out about half way
through the first round of his
fight with Vic Morrison, known
as Ace" San Francisco middle
weight.
Morrison crouched and, boring
in, hit Mickey with right and left
on body. The right was a terrific
smash under the heart.
Wallace fell on his face groan-
ing and unconscious.
Fight fans had expected such
an ending as Morrison was con-
sidered much too high class for
Wallace.
Morrison had been substituted
for Clyde Headrick of Tonopab
when Headrick broke his hand
in the Ely fight.
The ten round contest between
Mickey Wallace of Las Vegas, a
prime favorite among those look
ing for western championship ma
terial, and Clyde Headrick OF
TonOpah at the Tonopah Audi
torium Thursday evening proVok-
ed great interest among the fight
fans OF the great silver camp.
The Wallace-Headrick bout was
featured as the main event of the
evening which, it was predicted,
would be faster than the Florida
cyclone. Each fighter has a de
cision, Wallace by having his
mitt raised by the referee and
Headrick by a knockout.
Wallace, according to the Tono-
pah Bonanza, was in the greatest
condition that has been evident
on any OF his visits to Tonopah,
He needed but little training to
accustom himself to the altitude
and did his working out with
Irish Rooney.
Mickey covered himself with
glory in his recent fight at Fresno
with Mickey Walker, world S
champion. According to eyewit-
nesses Of the Fresno fight, Mick
ey, although. knocked out after
three rounds of furious fighting
with the champion. was the ag-
gressor al through and gave
Walker some severe jolts before
he met the inevitable. His con-
1uct of that fight received high
praise from the critics as well as
the enthusiastic plaudits of the
big crowd, and the Las Vegas
boy is recognized as a vigorous
contender for high fistic honors.
