lief of Mix-Referred to Attorney

zoo late we regret our rashneSs. But
Ehere's a way to escape the conse-
cnences Of such indiscretions. A dose
IF good digestant like Kodol Dyspep-
ala Cure will relieve your trouble at

Indigestion is always due to the
same cause. Your stomach is too weak

You can't rest it by going without
Good. That would mean starvation.
But Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will rest it.
II does the stomach'S work. In the
mean time the tired organ is gaining
fresh strength. Before long it will

tack can be cured at once. A case of
long standing naturally takes more
time But the first dose brings relief.
And a complete cure in the near future
is certain You don't have to diet.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will digest any
kind of wholesome food. For sickly
children it is unequalled. They thrive
on it. The little ones often have in
digestion, too. Don't let them suffer.

 l. Municipalities; license tax on mill liners. under charter o( city of Tusca- loosa, Acts 1s94-95, p. 1079.-Under the charter of the city of Tuscaloosa, author izing the city authorities to levy and collect annually tax on and to regulate and license '" millinery establish ments and each person or firm engaged in merchandising or carrying on any business of a mercantile character, the imposition by ordinance of license tax, in addition to merchants license, upon merchants selling millinery" is un- authorized by the charter and void.
 2. Same-Under said charter provisions, one engaged in the general mercantile business, selling dry goods and clothing, and also keeping and selling as part of his stock ladies hats, faces, ribbons, etc.. but not engaged in trimming or making hats, or in combining and fash ioning these articles into perfected articles of women's gear. cannot by city ordinance be compelled to pay a 'milliners" license tax in addition to the license tax re- Ol
 3. Same-If one engaged in a general mercantile business should, as a part of that business, engage in buying the articles or materials necessary to and used in the making of finished. ready-to- wear, millinery creations, and in combin- ing and fashioning these materials into perfected article of women's gear and selling the completed commodity, he could, under said charter provisions, be made liable by ordinance both for the merchants tax and that imposed on mil linery establishments
 4. Same; distinction between liner chant" and "milliner.''-A merchant only deals in commodities. selling articles in the same condition in which he bought them; a milliner not only buys and sells articles without changing their form. but also buys goods which she combines, fabricates and fashions into articles of women's apparel, and sells such articles in their completed form, being. in sense, a manufacturer as well as dealer.
 B. Municipal corporations; charters au- thorizing imposition of license taxes, how construed.-Charter authorizations to municipalities in regard to the imposing of license taxes are to be strictly con- strued, so that no tax, except such as are with reasonable certainty within the term employed. shall be deemed to be authorized.

that petitioner has been former admin istrator and had performed the duties of said administrat tion. his final accounts being audited, stated and approved on a certain date, and that there are unadmin- istered assets of the estate, and unpaid debts, and that the estate is insoivent, the averments give the court jurisdic- ton to appoint an administrator de bonis non, although there Is no averment that said former administrator had been dis charged from that office by an order of court
 g. Decree of sale; administration in Chancery Court--A decree of sale of lands for the payment of debts. rendered by the Probate Court on the petition of an administrator de bonis non. will not be set aside or reversed because 1t ap- pears that the former administration was in the Chancery Court and there is no positive allegation that the former ad- ministration has been wound up, as the court will presume that the former ad- ministration is not still pending.
 G. Same: insolvent estates; evidence On application for the sale of lands of an estate which has been declared insol- vent, the decree of insolvency makes a prima facie case of necessity for the sale, dispensing with the necessity of taking dispositions to show the existence of debts and the insuf1ciency of personal assets.
 T. Same; averment of petition as to ownership of lands-A petition for the sale of lands for the payment of debts sufficiently shows that decedent at the time of his death owned a legal or equit- able right or interest therein, which ayers that decedent died seized and possessed of certain interests and rights. not defi- nitely known to petitioner, in and to certain described lands"
 8. Same; description of lands in pe- tition, when insufficient to support decree of sale---In petition for the sale of lands for the payment of debts, description of the lands sought to be sold as "E 1-2 of N. W. 1-4. s-13-5." Is insufficient to support a decree of sale. not denoting with sufficient accuracy the section, town ship and range in which the lands are located.

Held, that the bill against G. and F. for rescission of said contract and an intunc- ton of said action at law was not want ing in equity and that complainant had no adequate legal remedy.
