Decrease In New Vehicles Titled

There was about a fifty per cent
decrease in the number of new mo-
tor vehicles titled in Delaware dur
ing the month of May this year in
comparison with the same month
of last year, according to records
in the office of the Motor Vehicle
Department at Dover. Records
show that during May of this year
there were 744 new motto vehicles
titled, Of which 624 were pleasure
cars and 120 were commercial We
hicles. During the same month of
last year there were l 400 new mo-
tor vehicles titled, Of which 1,226
were pleasure cars and 240 were
commercial vehicles. The decrease
recorded for the first five months
of this year is greater than the in
crease recorded during 1887 which
was the largest year in Delaware
motor vehicle history.

First, we undoubtedly would be-

The news would stir us-as we

which will digest any kind of food
stuff on h-tryspin for the
protein or meats, steapsin for the
fats, and amylopsin for the
starches.
The action of these juices occurs
under certain circumstances. Sa-
Iva works only in an alkaline
medium, and pepsin only in an acid
medium, while the pancreatic di-
gestion occurs again in the aka
line medium of the intestines.
Some people have become very
worried about these things and adj
wise that such foods should be CIV
en- that will not call out the acid
flow in the stomach, or win not
produce alkaline digestion side by
side with acid digestion.
Now even if such an arrange
rnent could possibly be made, IT
would not be desirable. Nature
has ways of accomplishing her
purpose far better than any substi-
tute we can make for her. The
point is that the digestive glands
are capable of digesting any form
at food-animal, vegetable, and
lot of minerals-and if they are
not interfered with or monkeyed
with too much they can do their
work very well.
Even when a large part OF the
digestive secretion has been put
out of commission, digestion goes
on quite well. Al man can lose a
large part Of his stomach, or his
salivary glands, or even his pam
creas, and nature conpensates and
allows digestion to go on just the
same.
