THE ABUNDANCE OF CAPITAL One of the remarkable features of the present business situation, is the fact that capital.seems so abundant for all wishing to do business. Back in 1920, one of the factors that produced disaster was the high rate asked for loans of mongy. People who wanted to borrow to finance their operations had to pay high interest. There did not seem to be capital enough to do the business of the country. The high prices had made it necessary to have “great amounts of capital to swing the operations of trade and finance, and it did not seem as if the sav- ings of the country were adequate to carry on its business. But now we are probably doing more business than was being done in 1920, and yet rates of inter- est continue low. People desiring to carry on busi- ness and who have good security éan get all the mpney they want at very moderate rates. This has led to advancing prices of stocks and bonds, since the divi-e @ends on these securities look highly desirable at the current rates of interest. It also stimulates the en- terprise of all who wish to do more business. It is a condition in which there are few obstacles to de- velopment except those that always exist through hu: man frailty. This condition ought to promote commercial con- fidence. It shows that unless inflated conditions be- come exaggerated, a smash is not going to be caused by the inadequacy of the nation’s capital. The people have constantly been saving money, which makes capital more abundant. But it seems doubtful if they saved enough in the past five years to make this great difference. Perhaps the real situ- ~ation is that better systems of business turn over capita} faster, so that a given amoun* of basinc de con ss can | | “lantic developed anew and lengthy THE KEY WEST THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18 1825 HEROES ALL An almost unprecedented succession of gales which recently swept the northern and western At- list of sailor heroes... Stories of daring rescues under the most trying conditions have filled the columns of the daily press, demonstrating that the chivalry of the sea still lives with undiminished vigor in the breasts of present- day seamen. F A total of 27 lives were lost when more than a seore of vessels, some of large size, were sunk or disabled and tossed helplessly at the merey: of the waves for days on end, while other Staunth craft battled to tow them to port or rescue theirscrews, as circumstances required. Outstanding among these deeds of supreme hero- ism was the rescue of the crew of the British freight- er Antinoe by the United States President n repeatedly smash- liner Roosevelt, after lifeboats had The |. men were finally brought to safety in.the sixth life- ed and two lives lost. st of the crew of boat launched from the Roosevelt. Throughout all the trying ordeals which beset these men of the sea, not a single instance of flinch- ing from stern duty was recorded, while examples of superb courage were’ everywhere in evidence. Living or dead, they have proved themselves heroes all. AIRCRAFT AND PEACE c = In view of the at Geneva for further disarmament, it is naturally the hope and desire of all well disposed people that some measure of success may attend these efforts. The disarmament conference called by President Harding in 1921, had an excellent moral effect, but it only made a very imperfect beginning in the di- forthcoming conference rection of permanent peace, as it did not limit the use of submarines or other naval vessels except capi- tal ships, neither did it restrict the size of armies. In any consideration of disarmament the sub- ject of aircraft must ultimately hold an important place. Yet aircraft is an agency of peace as well as war. Suppose that armies and warships were reduced to an absolute minimum. Then the nation possessing the largest number of aircraft would have the ad- vantage in the event of war, for aircraft built for commercial purposes can be used as engines of de- struction upon short notice, by equipping them with machine guns and bombs. Can the building of aircraft be restricted? With the present dream of airways encircling the globe, with “airplanes “Sie -Warig? easily as trains now cross a continent, can the prog- ress of aviation be halted? Who shall say how many airplanes the United States may use for transporting Who shall set a like limit foc other nations, to which they will agree? This is only one of the tremendous problems which the Geneva conference must face. The most freight and passengers? encouraging fact about the whole situation is that the nations are at last willing to discuss these prob- ‘lems in a friendly manner, in an effort to preserve the peace of the world. HERE’S A RECORD There is a remarkable firm of general merchants in the little town of Clear Lake, S. D., which probably holds the world’s record for consistent and adequate advertising in a community of that size. English & Towers have carried a full-page ad- vertisement in the Clear Lake Courier every week, without a mi§s, for twenty years: They have con- tracted for a similar space for each week of 1926. Yet Clear Lake is a town of only 835 popula- tion, in a tounty with but 8,759 people, with two newspapers. The extent of the firm’s advertising with the other newspaper was not stated in the source ef our information, but it is reasonable to suppose that it was considerable. From their extensive and persistent advertising, Fnglisi & Towers appear to be pretty thoroughly sold— cen the proposition. “They have proven to their satisfaction that large space in As the Courier says: the newspaper regularly brings correspondingly’ big results.” MILK DRINKERS The habit of drinking milk seems to be largely increasing. Formerly, if people wished to same some- thing discreditablg of a man, they would often call him a “milksop” or a “milk and water” person, as if the habit of using milk was something effeminate. But people have discovered that milk is a very nourishing food. No less a personage than Theodore Roosevelt, apostle of strenuousness, was a confirmed milk drinker. The consumption of milk per person increased about 20 per cent from 1918 to 1925. The more people can be induced to eat plain and simple foods like milk, containing in abundance the main principles of nutrition, the less they will demand highly séasoned concoctions made to stimu- late a jaded appetite. They will be able to perform more work on simple foods.

Yet there is a simple method based on the famous Dr. King’s New Discovery, which usually breaks the worst cough entirely in 24 hours. | Here is the method: You take just | one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swal- lowing it. It has a double action. It | not only soothes and heals irritation, | but also removes the phlegm con- gestion which are the real cause of the $ coughing.
