THIS new MEDICINE
SAVES YOU MONEY

We are druggists right here in your
town and make living out of the drug
business, but it is because people have
to have drugs and not because we like
to see people suffer-we don't. Our
duty is to render the best service we
can, and when someone is ailing, we
are interested in seeing them take the
best medicine there is for their partic-
ular trouble. We don't recommend
'cure-alls," as we don't believe there
are such things We don't want you
to spend more than you have to. Some
of you get small wages, and when
you're sick, none at al, and you should
get the most you can for your money.
We recently came across a new rem
edy for increasing strength and build
ing up people who are rundown and
emaciated. We know that a slight trou-
Bile sometimes grows into a serious
one, and to stop it in the beginning will
save you money in the end. This new
compound is called Rexall Olive OIL
Emulsion. 1t is the best remedy, when
you are rundown, tired out, nervous
no matter what the cause. 1t doesn't
merely stimulate you and make you
feel good for a few hours, but takes
hold of the weakness and builds yod
up to a healthy, normal condition. 1t
is a real nerve food, tonic and builder
of good blood, strong muscle, good di-
gestion. 1t contains hypophosphites,
which tone the nerves, and pure olive
oil, which nourishes the nerves, the
blood and the entire system. Pleasant
to take. Contains no alcohol or habit
forming drugs. We promise that if you
are not perfectly satisfied with it Well
give back your money as soon as you
tell us Sold only at the 1000 Rexall
Stores and in this town only by us.

DRAWS
RECORD CROWDS

Atlanta, March 9.-The craze for
dancing, and the popular revival Of
that are were manifested in Atlanta
Saturday night by the record-break-
ing and representative crowd which
filled the Atlanta theatre to see the
most famous living exponent of the
dance, Mile Anna Pavlowa, and the
Russian Imperial ballet of which she
is the head.
1t was an artistic event par excel
lence, and probably the most import
ant of its kind in the season. The
scenery and costumes were by Bakst,
the great Russian creative artist, who
lives in Paris, and whose paintings
and costume designs have gradually
become famous even on this side of
the Atlantic.
But If Atlanta tangoerS and hesita-
ton walters expected to get any prac-
teal benefit from seeing PavloW
adance and initiating her grace, they
were disappointed. 1t would be as
impossible for an ordinary dancer to
initiate Pavalwa effectually as it
would for a sign-painter to initiate
one of Michelangelo's frescoes.
PavIowa is being accorded in At
lanta the honors due to a great artist.
She and her company will appear in
two more productions, this afternoon
and tonight

MADAM MELBA

Boston, March 9.-One of the most
pathetic and dramatic incidents on the

when Nine Nellie Melba appeared be-
fore the footlights in the costume of
Mimi in La Boheme", and in an al
most inaudible tone told her audience
that she had come expecting to sing,
but had suddenly lost her voice, and
was quite unable to sing note
The diva said her physician had
warned her that it would be dangerous
for her to attempt to sing.
Il am deeply grieved to disappoint
you, my friends" said the prima don
ma, but l hope to make up for it in
some other way later"
