"DY COSTUME" Ruling that a cost of gilt paint cannot be regarded as clothing in the true sense of the world, officials of the Century of Progress Exposition In Chicago have banned the performance of Mona Leslie. Appearing, garbed in & veneer of gilt paint and cosmetics, as "The Diving Venus," Miss Leslie has been the big attraction in the corner of the fair known as the Streets of Paris. Nathanial Owings, chief of concessions, has threatened to close the streets if Miss Leslie's performance is not removed from the programme. Last year it was Sally Rand and her fan dance that troubled the moguls, and back in 1893 it was "Little Egypt" whose dance horrified our grandparents. Conces. alon holders say that these acta are the biggest box office draws of the whole show and that their elimination will play havoc with the financial returns.

HOW to TAKE

'ASPRO'

FOR

DENGUE

AT the first signs of the dreaded Dengue don't

procrastinate:—

Take two to three "ASPRO tablets every two hours until the Fever abates and the pain ceases. 'ASPRO' is the greatest Fever Antidote ever given to the world. No other medicine has its anti-pyretic, anti-periodic and anti- germicidal propensities after ingestion in the system. ASPRO' is far more effective than quinine and there are no harmful after effects. Make certain that ‘ASPRO' is always in the home ready for any emergency.
