This stock held for months in the neigh Eorhood of" ninety and then went ahead to about 100 where it held for some time. During the past three days it came into sudden demand and to- days figures mark the weeks end of a thirty point rise.

elasticity aided inf1ation. So, too, did the increased value of stocks used as collateral. Bankers here fully real ize the incipient danger of excessive expansion and are acting accordingly. Bank reserves have been materially re- duced lately, the total excess reserves in New York a week ago being down to about $69,O0O,O0O, compared with $1S8,000,000 yeear ago.
 The new British loan will impose tenn porary check upon cheap money, but Great Britain will eventually be obliged to pay her bills in gold, se- curities, comm odities or service of some kind. Her gold We do not want; |'ler holdings of American securities are becoming much reduced, and war hitherto has checked her exports of
 manufactured products. In the latter respect, however, Britain is making marvellous recovery, and today with only half the labor that was employed before the war the exports of the United Kingdom were almost equal
 to the volume of 1914 In September 1 British exports were f43,00O,000, an
 increase of i'll, 100000 over last year,
 while imports were f77,0oO,ooO, an 1 increase of f7,O0O,OOO. The nearer 1
 her foreign trade, the more easily will
 she finance the war. Meanwhile this
 country is steadily strengthening it's l financial position at home and abroad l Our banking power and prestige have Lenlarged enormously, while all of the oelligerents have in these respects
 lost materially. Even the primacy of London is temporarily overshadowed,
 and Great Britain, which for genera 1 tions has been the greatest trader the 1 greatest carrier and the greatest
 banker in the world, is obliged to see 1 her pre-eminence in these spheres i'm
 paired. In time she will doubtless re- 1 cover from her losses and even ex- l ceed former standing in these re- spects, but the United States has made
 very substantial gains on these lines,
 and is practically sure of being a good second, with Great Britain's lead
 constantly diminishing to the United States.
 This market has shown further sen- sationa1 advances in both commodities and securities. Wheat and cotton
 have both touched extraordinary levels, and though reactions occurred the outlook for a continuation of high
 prices is unchanged. The principal
 minerals show marked strength, and the iron trade continues unchecked in it's headlong prosperity. Steel shares continue making fabulous earnings Shipping engaged in foreign trade is
 doing likewise, and many an old
 vessel has lately sold for ten to fifteen
 times it's original value. This coun
 try is building ships with feverish
 energy, and we might have established
 -~y respectable merchant marine

 slroyed Industrial and commercial l activities are at high water mark. Bank clearings last week were about

Don't Give Up
 the Ship

So said great Sea Commander
 and he stuck to it-and won. So I
 say to you: Don't give up.'
 People sometimes think they have
 to heavy loads to shoulder, too per
 picking difficulties to solve, too severe
 conditions to overcome. When we
 look back over the pages of history,
 we find that men lived who carried
 far heavier loads, were confronted
 with infinitely greater problems, yet
 whose purpose remained steadfast
 until their work was completed. The
 most adverse conditions could not
 check their ambitions-and they were Of the same clay as ourselves, Will you concede that you have less
 ambition, less ability, and less power to combat conditions successfully Are you g, mere creature of circum- stances, to be swayed hither, as the wind blows?
 There was a. time when you, too, felt you could accomplish whatever you undertook to do. Nothing was then too hard for you. Your eye was & bright, your step elastic, your 2 thoughts clear, your working power and vitality almost unlimited. But the battle of life has been toe nara TOT you ana thrown you into a weakened condition, from which to extricate yourself seems impossible You have lost your grip, your energy your ambition. And in your despair you feel like throwing up your hands and making no further effort. S DON'T DO TT. You can regain you1 # loss. Fight for 1t. But to carry ou your fight to success you must have { strong ally.
 I can help you in your struggle. can furnish you the weapons witf a which you will win your battle. Como and see me today.

FARN(|M'S FACE
WORTH 100000

"The Wonderful Adventure" will be
the vehicle in which William Farnum
will next appear in Honolulu and he
comes to the Hawaii theater today.
Consequently the management OF this
house is anticipating banner week
as Farnum is one of the big drawing
cards of the screen. .s
Unique is a word that is ever asso-
ciated with the silent drama and It
has proved impossible to work the
word overtime. The latest stunt that
calls for its use is the, 500, 600 insur-
ance policy taken out by William Fox
on the face of William Farnum. Fox
is taking no chances when he pays
Farnum a salary Of 500, 900 each year
that Farnum will lose his youthful
beauty through any unforeseen ac-
cident. - 49, " -, ! Z
In this play Farnun is cast in q
dual role and is allowed. every, oppor'
tunity to display his sterling ability.
It should prove one OF his master
pieces of the screen. 80.
: THE Master Key will be contln'
ued and this should be a strong cpl
sode, judging from the climax OF the
closing chapter. 49,. - =

DO THIS F|RST-YOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a worn-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated. blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sionaftersickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.
