Palpitation is Tarelyyif ever due to

1t is almost invariably the result Of

The heart is supplied from the brain
with two pairs Of regulating nerves.
One pair. the cardio motor nerves. act
only to spur up the heart to quicker

Still others use castings, which are
cheap, but not nearly as strong or
safe as drop-forgings, wherever pos
sible.
AT our Toledo factory We have the
largest drop-forging plant in the All
tQmobile industry, and we make all
our own dies and forgings. Because
we turn out 10000 Overland cars in
a year., we can make ~drop-forged parts
for a great deal less than smaller
manufacturers can. buy them. This
is easily explained by the following
example. If we install a new tool
or machinery equipment in our plant
at a cost Of $100, 900, this cost must
be divided by $4,000 to get the cost
per car, which is $500. The maker
of only 1000 cars annually must d.
vide this investment by 1000, which
gives a cost Of 500 per car. 1t is
easy to see that this is a prohibitiye
burden for the small maker.
In the Overland front axle we give
g. good illustration of making our
own drOp-forgings. In our plant this
part is forged in a single heat with
out Welding, and the entire piece,
therefore, is of uniform strength and
structure and without a seam Or flaw.
The method more commonly employ
cd, especially in a small plant, is to
make the I-bcam axle in two halves.

The manufacturer of Il few automo-

sparingly, because they are expensive
to buy in small quantities. This is
because of the high cost of dies

maker cannot afford Il large invest

result is, many manufacturers whose

Mandan News: On Wednesday
morning, the many depositors Of the
Farmers and Merchants bank Of this
city received a severe shock, for con
fronting them on the door Of the
building was the sign, "Closed, State

picions for a long time that all was

1t was all to come SO soon, was a
terrible blow, not only to %stockhold-

Just how it all happened is the sub
ject of much speculation and street
corner gossip, but outside Of the fact
that there was gross acknowledgement
extending over a period Of years,
nothing authentic seem to have been
disclosed. g.. 81.
AS far as "a be learned, the sum
and substance Of the matter is that,
depositors and stockholders had lost
faith in Z. II. McHugh, the cashier,
as q business head Of the bank. This
gossip became current throughout
the city, until the stockholders de-
manded his removal, and accordingly
a meeting was held for that purpose
on last Monday evening, and arrange
ments made for another man. Upon
hearing of this, many Of the depos-
TORS misunderstood the purpose and

taking the estimate at the outside
and it may be considerably less.
AS soon as the examiner has COM
pleted his examination, it is expected
a new organization will take the
place of the old, and new blood will
be instilled into the institution. 1t
is thought that Ed Schulenberg will
head the new organization. That the
bank is permanently crippled or that
0epositors will lose is, emphatically
denied by all, and it is expected that
this difficulty will be overcome with
