THE GREAT FREER
COLLECTION GIVEN
TO THE NATION
In a vague way there Is a general
knowledge among those interested in
the development of art In the United
States that the nation, through the
Smithsonian Institution (National
Gallery), is the owner of a great col
lection of Oriental art objects, brought
together and presented to the public
by Mr. Charles L. Freer, of Detroit,
The range and contents of the collec
tion, its purposes and opportunities—
in a word, its meaning— are less clear
ly understood, notwithstanding that
the collector has loaned generously to
various exhibitions and permitted
special students access to his treasured
accumulation.
The Government authorities having
not long ago designated the site, on
the Mall for a building which the do.n
,or himself provides to hou3e the col
lection, donor and architect together
are now plunning the details of the
* museum that is to open new Helds of
study, to which limits may hardly be
set. «
Egeypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Mesopo
Lamia, Persia, China, Corea, Japan—
the history of the ancient world re
coided by itself, preserved by Mother
Earth and its temples, palaces, tombs,
and the treasure-chests of Celestial
generations; a history written in terms
of art and of domestic and political
life, in objects of daily use enchunoed
and exulted by the imaginative, *ha
creative, mind and skill of the arUst
and the artisan. This history the
museum is to open to scholar and er
tist, to specialists and public, proffer
ing to all the elevating influences of
..ncient attainments by diverse peoples
for the encouragement and expansion
of kindred sympathetic workers here
—where an all-inclusive diversity is
yet to be assimulated, amalgamated,
and to *ind its true expression in ai t.
i
| "A thing of use made beautiful” is
a favorite deflnation of a work of art
with Mr. Freer, and he has sought to
iorm "an inielkctual collection of
beautiful objects.” Such, indeed, it i3,
evoking visions for the higher capaci
ties, us well as pleasing the eye with
an object of the moment and suggest
ing beauty to the craftsman. Aesthe
tic delight, the pleasure of historical
review of man in the early civiliza
tions, and stimulation to greater beau
ty in the intimate surroundings of life
—oil potential in a single Institution.

Don’t wait until too late.
Be sure to be in time.
Jusl in time with kidney ills.
Means curing the backache, the dlz
zini ss, the urinary disorders.
That so often come with kidney
troubles.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for this very
purpose.
j liere is testimony to ^prove their
merit.
William C. Russell, retired farmer,
96C Vali ncia St., San Francisco, Cal.,
says: "Many colds and days of long
hours and straining work caused my
kidneys to give me a lot of trouble.
Pains seemed to settle in the small of
my back and the suffering I endured
was terrible. Every bit of strength
left me and my kidneys acted too of
ten, annoying me at night. Doan’s
Kidney Pills acted as a tonic to my
kidneys and proved of great benefit.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Dont’ sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Russell had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
