Mexico Should Act This view was voiced by Luis Ca brera, foiiner minister of finance, and a leader in congress, who said he did not think it was necessary for Mexico to take official cognizance of the mat ter by action or declaration. Senor Cabrera said he thought it improbable that any action or announcement from the foreign office or the -executive would be forthcoming. Ernesto Carza Pereza, in charge of the foreign office, repeatedly denied today any knowledge of the affair and declined to discuss its ramifications. Herr von Eckhardt today denied himself to all visitors. He has made no statement beyond his declaration of last night that the matter did not interest him arid that he had never recommended any one for a decora tion. M.

Those who have not closely fol lowed the recent progress of scien tific research of the body wonder just why it is that the chiropractor can"adju8t the spine" for dis-j eases of the stomach, liver, kid neys, bowels as well as headaches, nervousness, dizziness, insomnia and the very large class known as "Women's Diseases," or for some Other disease seemingly not at nil directly connected with the spine.' When .it is remembered that every organ in the body is de pendent upon, and under direct control of the nerves and that every one of these nerves passes through the spine before reaching the brain, it can readily be under stood why the spine plays so im portant and so vital a part in the health of the body.

Leaders of both parties expect the bill to pass tomorrow or early next week.
