MITCHELL OUTPUT ASSUMING NORMAL

Tt is a surprising thing that with the second biggest month in point of deliveries in the history of this com pany just closed, we are as far behind our orders as ever,' is the statement s. E. Lannis, of the Motor Sales com pany, local Mitchell distributors.
 Tt certainly is a relief to turn away from the restricted deliveries of war times and the slightly larger deliver ies of the months during which wt were getting back to a peace time production basis, to contemplate the delivery of the largest number of cars ever shipped from the Mitchell fac tory in one month, bar one.
 "Of course. in view of the tremen- dUus demand for the New Victory Mitchell, we were using every means at our command to increase production to a point where it would take care cf a reasonable share of the demand. But automobile manufacturing ex- perts hardly expected that any of the larger factories in the country would be up to anything like normal pro- duction in so short time as had char acterized the change here"

 .The public was instantly taken with this car at the shows last winter and since that time those dealers who have made their success by handling only sucf. cars as careful investigation con- yinced them were money makers and good value to the public have been Hooking to the Mitchell line as rapid ly as delivery and territory condi- lions would permit.

SMOKED TO THE GLORY OF GOD"

LONDON, July 1o.-(By maiL) - Whether ministers should smoke is arousing discussion among ciergymen as result of question asked at a recent convention of Methodist min isters as to whether it is Christian like for ministers to smoke.
 s'It all depends on what you smoke said one minister. T smoke a cigax to the glory of God"
 The Rev. C. F. Spur. Regents Park Methodist church, confessed he smoked pipe in his study, but didn't think it wise for ministers to smoke in public

Mr. Hardy, my wife suffered some

under the best of treatment all the

worse instead of better. She suffered
almost continually with severe
pain in the small of her back which
was caused from the awful condition

have pains in her sides, too, and was
so nervous all the time that she
never got a good nights sleep. She

to do any homework at all.

in the papers about this Tanlac, and
I decided to buy one bottle and see
if it would make any change in her
condition. Well, the first bottle
helped her so much that l got an

more Tanlac she took, the faster she
improved, and now since taking four
bottles she is enjoying as good
health as she ever did in her life.
Her stomach seems to be in perfect

agrees with her all right. The pain
has left her back and she never
has the slightest sign of that kid

and it is simply wonderful the way
she has gained in weight and

A discovery which promises to
bring Joy to the heart of many tiny
American along about next Christmas
and before-has just been made, in
Albany, Cal. 1t is the secret of maxi
ing the clay from which bisque dolls
are fashioned-an art known only to
German toymakers until a western
decorator hit upon the happy COM
bination.
Bisque dolls, according to some
thousands of little mothers" who
have prattled their preferences into
waiting ears and scraWled them on
sheets of letter paper intended for
the eyes of Santa Claus, are by far
the most attractive dolls in the
world.
Consequently, when the German
nation went to war and the other
nations declared trade boycottS on
the Teuton because of his inhuman
methods of fighting, there was weep
ing and wailing in many a home be-
cause there were no bisque dolls to
be had.
Dozens of substitutes were put on
the market - ''kewpies,' Teddy

rags and other conceits--but none
seemed to take the place of the
flaXed-haired doll of bisque, the
secret for making Whichlwas retained

The tenets of her religion forbade
her to talks her own life.

Hence, while the family of her
