Gonzales, Countryman. South Side police are searching for Miguel Cortez, Mexican, alleged mur derer of Ranfall Gonzales, 35-year-old Mexican, who was killed with an ax. Gonzales' hacked body was found in a rooming house at 5039 Suth Twen ty-fourth street by Sergeant Shechan rriday night. , Cortez was a roomer at the place and was the last person seen in com pany with the murdered man. He is 29 years old, five feet seven inches in height, and weighs about 135 pounds. His face is pock-marked and he has a scar on the left side ot his chin. Captain Carey of the South Side police station says the evidence indicates Cortez is the murderer. The following persons have been arrested and are held in connection with the murder: Mrs. Ranfall Gon zales, C. E. Brown, Marcipo Casrez, Alfonso Lopez, roomers at the pface where the man was killed; Mike Carates, 2404 P street; Manuel Tre bino, 2521 N street, and Julian Rojas, Frank Basques, Frank Ortels, all liv ing at 5041 South Twenty-fourth street.

Sergeant Sheehan of the South Side station discovered the murdered body when he accompanied four Mex ican roomers at the place, to 5039 South Twenty-fourth street after they had reported to the police that the house was locked and they feared "something had happened to Gon zales, as the latter always carried several hundred dollars with him."

Never Chance Disease Laden Floor Covering When It Costs So Lit- tie To Have Dr ethers Clean Your Rugs., Mr. Disease Germ simply won't stay in a rug that has been beauti fully and perfectly cleaned. He thrives upon the grease, dust, dirt and other "foreign" atmosphere that is continually brought in by shifting shoes. , And, if you would have perfectly cleaned rugs, rugs that are disease proof and beautiful at the same time, nave Dresher Brothers clean tem at their immense dry cleaning and dye ing plant at 2211-2217 Famam St. Dreshers have studied the subject from start to finish; they know how to go at -rug cleaning; they knew enough to design and construct a rug cleaning plant that has no equal, and certainly no superior, in all the world. ' It's about time to think ot clean rugs anyway, for Spring will be here before you know it In fact, there is no necessity to even wait for Spring. Clean rups are more im portant in winter than at any otter time. Better send for a Dresher man the first thing. All . you've to do is to phone Tyler 345 and a rug wagon stops at your home. After that comes the rug, cleaned so prettily that you will call in the neighbors to see it and disease germs will be out of the question. Leave work at the plant, at Dresher tThe Tailors, 1515 Farnam St, or at one of the Dresher Branches in . the Burgess-Nash or Brandeis Stores. Dreshers pay express or par cel post charges one way anywhere.

Chiropractic Talks CHIROPRACTIC FOR THE LIVER. ' The liver is the largest gland in the human body. It occupies the upper portion of the abdomen on the right side, just beneath the lower ribs. The function of the liver is to man ufacture the bile which is then passed downward through the bile duct in the bowel. The liver contains an amount of blood equivalent to one fourth of all this fluid to be found in the body and the amount is always increased during digestion. Some diseases of the liver are in flammation of the liver (chronic), hypertrophy (enlargement), atrophy (wasting), jaundice, gall stones, in active or torpid liver. Chronic Inflammation I known aa elrr hosla ot tha liver, when It beoomea engorged with blood, tha organ iwella and the cells are io oompreaaed until they are unable to form the bile. Hypertrophy of the liver, or enlargement, la uaually the roault of an obatructlon of the bile duct. The organ becomes ao much enlarged aa to crowd upon the other vis cera and na wetgnt increaaca anywnere from four to eight or ten pounds. Atrophy of the liver la a condition exactly the opposite of hypertrophy. It is a wast ing or shrinking of the organ below Its natural size. It is a condition from which the liver never recovers unaided. In such cuat'S tt la of vital Importance that Chiro practic adjustments should not be neglect ed under any circumstances. One of the most conspicuous symptoms of this trouble Is chloasma or liver snots. These are yel lowish or .brownish yellow spots that may appear on tha skin In various parts of the body. . Jaundice Is not strictly a disease In Itself. It Is really the consequence of other dis eases. In chronic cases It may last a year. In ordinary cases perhaps orie week, and It Is frequently the result of bilious attack?. Lymg just beneath the liver Is a small sac known as the gall bladder. This sao empties by a short tube into the gall duct which leads from the Uver to the bowel. When the liver Is manufacturing more' bile than the system needs, the excess flows off Into the gall bladder where It Is stored until nature demands It In certain diseases, such as jaundice, catarrh olthe bile duct or In testines, enlargement of the liver, the bile cannot escape freely from the gall bladder. As a result it bcomss thick, forming hard ened masses or lumps called gall stones. Torpid liver Is a lasy liver. When you over work yourself your body grows weary and needs rest When the liver Is overworked It becomes exhausted, but It doea not always Imply an organic disease of the gland. Failure on the part of the Uver to do Ita work properly allows the poisons to pass Into the general circulation which will eauae functional disease elsewhere In the body. The central nervous system is the first to be affected. Tha brain becomes clouded and the patient takes on that form of ap pearance commonly known as sluggishness. Krom the oadle to the grave, from birth to death, the fear of possible results from disease Is ever with us. and mankind Is continually being treated for aliments, w all know that our bodies contain all the organs, vessels, tissues, chemical elements for Its maintenance In perfect health, and disease, therefore. Is a condition due to the effect of nerve pressure. The Influence of the nerves upon the liver has been demonstrated that it Is supplied with nerve energy from the central nervous system. Many of them are vaeo-motor in function: that Is. they control the caliber and tension of the blood vessels, others pass directly to cells and control the secretion of the bile. The nerve aupply of the liver cornea by way of the aplnal nerves which originate in the brain and proceed down ward, sending the various fibers to stomach, liver and Intestines. a. in cMa of all other diseases.
