4 week later returned to Washington
with word that he was prepared to
take a contract to turn these boats
out at the rate of one per day. The
material was to be fed into one end
Of the plant and pushed along like
the Ford cars at such a rate as to
get quantity production. The con-
tracts were signed January IL, and
Secretary Daniels made a very fat
tering. announcement that Mr.. Ford
had laid the frst keel on January 20.
These are the boats to be known as
the Eagle class and built at the River
Rouge plant, which was originally
planned as a site for Ford blast fur
naces
1t is known that the Ford plant
has the contracts for the manufac-
ture OF 5000 complete Liberty motors
to be placed IN American aeroplanes.
In addition to this, they are making
the cylinders for all Liberty motors.
They were given the exclusive
doing Of these cylinders because Ford
experts devised a method Of manu-
facture which saved the Govern
ment many hundreds of dollars on
each cylinder The Ford process was
to punch the hole through the solid
metal to make the cylinder instead
OF the old laboFious method OF drill
ing IT out with a lathe. AS there are
twelve cylinders for each Liberty
motor, this. Is q job which might
keep an ordinary man out Of the
Senate.
Making Steel Helmets. 4.
The Ford plant is manufacturing
steel helmets by the millions. The
extent to which tanks and tractors
are Being nshufactured by Ford for
the Government Is kept secret. Ford
automobiles and ambuIances are
used in tremendous numbers In the
war Zone, and many thousands OF
them are being turned ouH for the
Government.
These are some Of the reasons why
the people Of Michigan are going to
ignore the politicians and vote for
Henry Ford They do not care one
whit about the party label. They
want to win the war. They like the
way Henry Ford delivers the goods

THE GUARANTEED TONIC
FOR WOMEN

StelIa-Vitae has been in succesc-
full use in the treatment of those diseases
peculiar to women for more than a
third of a century.
For nearly ten years it has been
sold under a plain, positive guarantee
to benefit. Less than one bot
tie out of every one thousand
sold has been refunded for, and every
claim for q refund has been satisfied.
Thousands of letters likethis praising
Stella-Vitae and telling of benefit to
suffering women have been received.
hrs. E. n. Russell, of Mill Springs,
N. c., gratefully writes us as follows:
81 was in a most wretched condi-
ton; had palpitation of the heart
and would swell and bloat in a most
distressing way. When | began
using StelIa-vitae | weighed 1903
pounds. Now | weigh 135. | am
more thankful than | can ever tell
you for the great good this Won
derful medicine has done me-"
Mrs. Russell was at that critical
period, the "change,'' and her sincere
gratitude for the blessed relief will be
understood and appreciated by every
woman who reads her letter.
Stella-Vitae has proved a boon to
suffering womanhood, to young girls
approaching their first vital period, to
women approaching the anguish of
childbirth, to women approaching the
nchange of life." Stella-Vitae strength
n the female organs and promotes
regularity in the monthly function.
Nc risk of loss is taken by any suf-
fering woman who tries Stella-Vitae
on our guarantee of the first bottle.
All dealers sell Stelia-Vitae and will
return your money if it does not bene-
fit you. Don't put off a trial.
