"It is a fact that the customer of

al'o about remedies. Many native
Americans lik everything only in

since that Trinei's Uuter Wine Is

FORD IS PRODUCING
4,000 CARS A DAY
Present Production Greter than for
the Same Period Last Year
Going Full Speed.
Ford is building cars at full speed.
And, according to an official state
ment from the factory at Detroit,
the demand for Forel cars and trucks
still exceeds the output, despite the
fact that a new high level of produc
tion has been reached.
By the first ef May the figures
representing elaily production were in
the neighborhood of 4.000 a day, so
the May schedule was set at 101,125
cars and trucks, not including the
output of the Forel Canadian plant
or any of the foreign assembling
plants. The output mounted daily;
May 12th brought forth 4.092, the
greatest number that have been pro
duced in one day se far this year.
Since the month has 2i working
days, present indications point to a
new high record.
A comparison of Ferd production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses
the fact that for April. 1921, the
output was greater by 34.514 than
fr the cejrrtispemding month of a
ye-ar ago. The output for May. 1921,
will probably overshadow May, 1920,
by between fifte-en and twenty thous
anel cars and trucks.
Approximately 4 3,000 men are at
work iu the Detroit plant of the Forel
Meter ceimpany. The factory is op
erating on full time, six days a week
and three shifts a elay.
"We were never in a better con
dition than we are right now," said
Henry Forel recently.

of the doctor, to a point some four,

Washington. D. C, May 1Z. Pro
visions iu the naval appropriation
bill for a new fleet base at Alameda.
Cal., was stricken from the bill to
day in the senate.
The veite was forty against adop
tion and thirty in favor.
Appropriation of $l.r00,000 to be
gin dredging and excavating for a
new supplemental base at Alameda
was proposed in the rejecteel com
mittee amendment. Another provi
siem authorized the government to re
ceive title free to something over
5,000 acres cf land near the Alameda
she.
A bi-partisa ncombination rejected
the Alameda amendment. Oppon
ents of the new base contended that
apart from the immediate initial pre
paratory appropriation, it involved
obligating the government to expend
from $00,000,000 to $100,000,000 in
the future.
The republicans voting against the
Alameda item were Horah. Caper,
Cummins. Gexiding, Ilarreld. Jones.
Washington, Kenyon, I. add. I-aFol-lette,
Lenroot. McCormiek, McNary,
Nelson, Norris. Stanfield, Townesnd

Four democrats, Fletcher, Titt
