ARTIST GOING BLIND,
KILLS WIFE AND SELF

CHICAGO, March 31.-Because
Edmund d. Setback. aged forty.sIx,
a successful commercial artist, was
about to lose his sight. he chose
death by his own hand and took
wife with him.
This is the theory generally &C.
cepted by the police of Elmhurst,
a western suburb of Chicago, to
account for the finding yesterday
of the bodies Of Setback and his
wife, both shot through the temple.
Setback still grasped in his right
hand a pistol, from which two shots
had been fired.
Neighbors and relatives say there
had never been any trace of do.

One of the, greatest values
of DR.. TEACHERS prescrip-
ton. is that it keeps your
liver properly cleansed and
toned. When functioning
properly your liver serves
as a filter. Every 10 min
utes all Of the blood in your
body filters through it to
be purified. Your liver also
filters the secretions that are
essential to proper digestion
and the prevention of con-
.stipation. But how can your
liver do this important work
when it is sluggish and
your bowels are clogged up
with waste?
This is why you should
take DR.. TEACHERS prescrip-
ton the minute you begin
to wake up dull and tired,
tongue coated, bad taste in
your mouth, offensive breath
or when you experience an
noying symptoms such as
those described in this

M'EWAN WILL COACH .
 WEST POINT ELEVEN
Coming Back From Porto Rico
 to Aid Football Team

New York, March ae.--Despite re- ports 10 the contrary earlier in the year, Captain John J. McEwan will return to West Point as head coach
 of the football team at the Military Academy for the season of 1924, it was learned from official sources yes terday. IL was at first believed that because Captain McEwan was due for foreign service it would be impossi- ble for him to return to West Point for tine coming football season, but the adjutant generals department at Washington has sanctioned a tenn porary detail and McEwan will return to the academy in July to take up his duties for the season.
 The reappointment of McEwap as head of the Army football team is d popular one throughout the army, but especially so at West Point, where the corps of cadets and the officers stationed on duty at the military academy are strong advocates of Me- Evans system, although it failed to bring the eleven through success. full season last fall. It has been known for some time that Major Gen. Frederick w. Slsder. superintendent at the military academy, has been in favor of having McEwan return, but because the latter was due for foreign service there seemed to be some doubt as 10 whether the adiutant generals department would sanction such de- tail. However. these difficulties have been overcome and the former ali- American center will have his chance to pilot the cadets through one the hardest schedules that has ever been arranged for an Army team,
 Last season was the first in which McEwan acted as head coach, al- thougl, he was assistant mentor under the regime Of Major Charley Daily for several seasons.
