MISS WILSON AND THE TANGO

Starkville, Miss, Jan. 19-Miss El-
eanor Wilson's name is being used as
leading argument in the fight here
or the tango, the one-step, the hesita-
tion waltz and other modern dances.
Headed by the local W. G. T. U. many
prominent citizens are urging the city
council to pass an ordinance prohibit
ing the much-discussed dances. The
council, although thought to favor
such an ordinance, is delaying action
in order to ascertain public opinion.
Students of the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College and many of the
leading young women of the place are
opposing the proposed ordinance.
Several of the Starkville society set
attended the Ball of the Twelfth
Night Revellers in New Orleans two
weeks ago, when the tango and SINH
lar dances were freely indulged in.
They returned with word that Miss
Wilson had tangoed and hesitated"
with as much grace and liveliness as
any one present and that what was
good enough for the daughter of the
President was good enough for the
young ladies' of Starkville, Advo-
Gates of the dances are now conduct
ing very active campaign and the
town is divided into two we'll defined
and almost equally influential camps
and interest is running higher than in
any political contest since the days OF
carpet bagging.

these was very close The playing
was very fast on both sides and
keen interest WAS manifested
throughout. Santistevan starred

YOU CAN'T EARN MONEY
WHEN YOU'RE LAID UP

There are lot of people in this
town who cannot afford to be sick.
Perhaps none of you feel that you
can, but certainly some of you
can't, for as soon as you are sick
your wages stop and worry and
debts begin to pile up. The sen-
sible thing for you to do as soon as
you feel run down and worn out,
no matter what the cause, is to
take something just as quick as
you can to build up strength and
health. Make yourself more CON-
Portable and provide against seri-
GUS sickness.
We don't believe there is any
other medicine made that will do
as much towards saving your health
and thus helping you save your
money as Rexall Olive Oil Emul-
sion. 1t is a medicine that gets
right at the trouble and relieves it
by toning the nerves, enriching
the blood and giving new strength
and health to the whole body. It
doesn't do this by means of aloo-
hol or habit-forming drugs, because
it contains none. It's strength and
health-giving power is due to pure
olive oil and the hypophosphites,
long endorsed by successful physi-
clans, the one for its food value,
the other for its tonic value. Here,
for the first time, they are com.
bined, and the result is a real nerve.
blood and body. building medicine
"a real strengthener that we are
proud to tell you about. You don't
need to hesitate in using it, be-
cause If il doesn't do all we say il
will and satisfy you in every way,
it will cost you nothing. If it
doesn't make you strong and well
again, come back and got your
money. 1t will be given to you
without word or question. Sold
only at the more than 1900 Rexall
stores, and in this town only by us.
