P POLICE TAKE
OVER TASK OF
GADSDEN RUINS

With the last smouldering embers
still sending wisps of smoke and
flashes of flame skyward from the
ruins of the Gadsden hotel, Wednes-
day morning firemen who had worked
with but few rest periods since a.
m. Tuesday still threw streams of
water into the piles of debris, fallen
walls, heaps of lath and lumber.
Police and firemen Ventured into the
building and rescued the beautiful
iron horses, that, poised in the chase
atop q hurdle, have stood at the head
of the bro3d staircase leading up from
the LOBBY for years. The horses were
unhurt by fire, smoke or water and
when wiped off, may live on to adorn
some new establishment in the near
future.
Chief Percy Bowden of the police
has taken over the main activities IN
the fire zone from the firemen and
On Tuesday night extra officers were
EMPLOYED to patrol the district. The
street is roped off and will be roped of
on all sides Of the towering, gaunt
walls until such time as those walls
can be torn down.
Chief BoWden points out that these
walls may be very firm and that there
may be no danger Of their falling into
the street, but no one can say certain
lyif they are or not, and while there Is
a chance that they might fall the
public must be protected for if the
street were used and the walls fell
they would kill many.
The front walls appear to be very
strong but fire ate into them on We'd
nesday and smoke poured from be-
tween the bricks in places which in
dicate weaknesses. The rear wall fell
in the center and would have crushed
life from anyone who might have been
behind the hotel when it came down.
Police say no chances will be taken.

AN EASY WAY
TO LOSE FAT

Instead of abnormal exercise or diet,
they combat a cause of excess fat. They
supply an element Nature employs to
turn food into fuel and energy. This
method was discovered by research men
some two decades ago. 1t has for 20 years
been embodied in Marmola prescription
tablets. Millions ofboxes have been taken,
and almost every circle shows the results
in new beauty, new health and vitality.
The formula comes in every box, also
the scientific reasons for results. So users
have no fear of harm. Go learn now what
Marmola does for excess fat, and why.
Your druggist supplies it at 81 per box.
Take four tablets daily and watch the
change.
