Many native Americans lik everything only in sweet tablet form, but the Amer icans of foreign tlesoent know long since that Trinei's Uuter Wine Is the best remedy for stomach trou bles and that it "bitter" makes them oelter.

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.

While the auto party were stranded a car passed by and the occupants offered to aid the persons in the Barritt car but were politely informed that they had better move on and the request was re-enforced with the flourishing cf a revolver that caused little delay on the part of the kind hearted helpers in seeking shelter elsewhere.

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.
