March 2.-(Special)-Fire of unknown origin completely destroyed seven houses on Tenth avenue between Twenty-third and Twenty fourth streets early saturday morning, caus- ing a loss of s15.00O. The houses were occupied by negroes and were nearly all owned by negroes, and very little insurance was carried.

The alarm was turned in at 2:50 o'clock and when the fire department arrived on the scene four of the houses were burn ing, the fire having originated at 2316 Tenth avenue, and was communicated to the adjoining houses.
 Efficient work on the part of the hre department prevented serious nre' as at one time 22 houses were on hre, and damages ranging from 50 to szo were reported on the remaining lo houses.

Absorption Process
 Makes Faces Young

Success at last has come to scientists who for years have sought some method of removing the outer veil of facial skin in cases of unsightly complexions, which would be both painless and harm less The new process is SO simple so inexpensive. the wonder is no one had discovered it long. ago. It has been amply demonstrated that common mer- colized wax 'sold by druggists in ounce packages) entirely removes, by gentle absorption, the withered. lifeless sur face skin; showing, the youthful, rose. like skin beneath. The wax is applied at night like cold cream, and washed off in the morning. The absorption also cleanses clogged pores, increasing the skins breathing capacity and preserv- ing tone, color and natural beauty of the new skin. N
 E!sS simple. and harmless wrinklc7re mover which has also proved quite successful can easily be made at home in jiffy. All one need do is to dissolve an ounce of powdered saxolte in half pint of witch hazel and bathc the face in the solution once day for awhile. After the very first application the finer lines disappear and the deeper once soon follow.-Adv.

DEMURRER FILED ATTACKING FORCE
 OF LIQUOR LAWS
In Effort to Prevent Con demnatiOn of Property Lawyers Charge Bill
 Unconstitutional

Unconstitutional and void are the charges made against sections of the Weakley prohibition bill passed by the Alabama legislature January a in a de- murrer filed yesterday afternoon by Lawyers Thomas J. Judge and Thomas J. Rowe
 The demurrer was filed following a bill of complaint that was made by the county solicitor against B. B. Douda, one house and two lots, seeking to con demn the property. and have it for feited, after it was charged a still and some whisky had been found in the house. The house is in .Owenton. on Louise street, and Mir Dunda is now in jail awaiting a hearing.
 The five main contentious as to why portions of the Weakley law are un- constitutional are that 1t Is claimed the constitution forbids forfeiture of estate for the conviction of crime; that it denies the right of trial by jury; that the caption of the act is not ger mane to the subject matter of the act, in that nothing is stated in the captoin about the forfeiture of prop erty; that it inflicts cruel and unusual punishment; and that 1t deprives the defendant of property without due process of law.
 If the demurrer is sustained it will kill the forfeiture clause of the Weak ley bill, according to local legal opin- ion.
