How the disease is transmitted we
do not know. Flies have been sus-

contact between persons is more like

virus, probably a germ which is too
small to be detected by our present
microscopes. Flexner proved that the

through unglazed porcelain.
The infection probably occurs
through the nose and throat, and
sometimes through the digestive Or

Indigestion and const patton are

suffering.
The tendency to indulge ones appe-
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion OF the overtaxed or
gans of digestion and elimination. A
pleasantly effective remedy, that will
quickly relieve the congestion of pol
sonous stomach waste and restore
regularity, Is the compound OF sim

for fifty cents a bottle under the name
of DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsln. This
is mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free
from opiates or narcotic drugs, and
has been the standard household rem
edy in thousands OF homes for many
years.
Mrs. oliver Young, Merrill. Wis,

Bell Company to Increase
the Factory Capacity

The Bell Motor Car Company.
which was organized in this city less
than year ago, for the purpose of
manufacturing automobiles, has in
creased its capitalization to $1,O00,-
600.
They have just purchased a fifteen
(15) acre factory site in East York
at Rockburn Station. upon which
they propose to erect. between now
and the first of the year modern fac
tory buildings.
This firm has been placing upon the
market this season, two CD models, a
pleasure car and a light, one-thousand
GO00) pound commercial car and
their product has been received in
such manner by the automobile
trade that they have been seriously
handicapped in their production, ow-
ing to cramped conditions in rented
buildings.
The success which this company has
attained with their cars this years
output has interested outside capital
lists, who have become connected with
the company and who will furnish
capital to equip the new site with
adequate factory buildings in which
to produce their forthcoming mod
els, which will be of two CD types:
A straight one-thousand (1000)
pound comercial model, equipped with
electric lights and starter. This will
be a strictly commercial car and not
a reconverted pleasure car, also
beautiful line of pleasure cars, which
will be second to none in the United
States at the price.
AS soon as the new factory build
ings are completed this concern ex-

Almost $1OO,OOO,OOO Worth
of Overlands in Year

Few people outside of those familiar
with the finances of q big automobile
manufacturing concern like the
Willys-Overland Company. have any
conception of the enormous amount
or money represented in the shipment
OF cars from the factory.
They know in a general way that
hundreds of cars are shipped from the
Toledo plant every day but the mere
mention of these figures is of little in
terest to them. The shipment might
vary anywhere from one hundred to
one thousand cars a day without at
tracing the attention of the average
man or woman who reads the news
papers.
But when the value of the ship
ments is given in cold dollars and
cents 1t leaves no room for doubt as
10 the magnitude of the business. The
american dollar is recognized as a
standard of value the country over
and as such 1t is the simplest means
OF Illustrating the volume and extent
of Overland shipments from the fac
tory.
At the present time the average
daily shipments of Overland and
Willys-Knight cars from the plant are
valued at $4,000. This has run as
nigh as $77S,000 in a single day. when
the factory broke all records by ship
ping the greatest number of medium
ana popular priced cars ever made in
twenty-four hours
During the month of April cars left
the factory valued at s12,654.55O.
which Is nearly three times the value
OF April shipments a year ago.
Inc first third of the calendar year
enulng April 30 was the biggest in
the history of the Toledo concern,
over $4I7SS,930 worth of cars were
shipped which is all the more remark
able considering the fact that this
tremendous demand for cars came at
a ume when half the country was in
the clutches of winter weather.
Since April 21, 1918, shipments val
ued at S95,6S1,7S0 left the Overland
factory Although this amount is
staggering and almost beyond the
comprehension of the average reader,
II represents but little over half of the
estimated value of the shipments for
the year 1915
