Every man and woman suffering with troubles in the stomach due to constipation, should visit the Vendol Man at Apothecaries Hall Co. and learn about this great compound. Vendol actually contains double the quantity of medicine usually found in ordinary remedies. Every dose carries beneficial medicine 70 the stomach where it is delivered to the organ that is out of order and giv- ing trouble. That is why Vendol quickly relieves so many ailments caused by constipation that makes the sufferer think he has bad liver, deranged kidneys, rheumatism and a dozen other things.
 From the scores of people all over this section who have taken Vendol and received quick results, and high- ly praise 1t, we print the following recommendation from MT. Frank Chandler, a we'll known Building Contractor, who lives at GA Hartford Ave, Middletown, Conn. He says:
 T used to be so restless and nerv- ous at night that I'd toss and roll for hours fighting to get to sleep, but 1t was losing battle and as a result I'd get up In the morning just about as tired as when I went to bed. I complained a good deal with nervous headaches and pains in my back and limbs, and had no appe- tite for even the best meal. The gas in my stomach was very bac. often giving me a full, bloated feel ing with sharp pains and belching
 Tn just a few days time Vendol had relieved my constipation and l began to improve in every way. and

like, should offset the losses from
decaying industries. Before these
things happen. however, people
with money must be willing TO risk
it by financing such new industries.
They must not prefer just to salt"
it away in government bonds. What
the United States needs today is
not that kind of salt, but the right
kind of pep.
The necessary confidence to take
risks was lacking in 1887. 1t has
been lacking ever since 1929,-and
it is still absent today There are
many reasons why, but the prin-
cipal one is the money and book
keeping policy of the federal gov
ernment. New capital financing is
practically nil at the moment. Un-
derwriting profits are so small and
the liabilities, under the Securities
Exchange Act SO severe, that it
takes a brave "houSe" to tackle a
piece of new financing. So there
are very few new loans being
floated now.
Hard to Get Capital
Most of the big companies do
not want new capital at present
anyway. Like the people who have
the money to invest. they arc
afraid to make new commitments
right now. They are sitting tight"
until Congress repeals or greatly
modifieS the Undistributed Profits
Tax. On the other hand, there arc
a number of small business con-
Germs who say they need new
money. These little fellows aired
their troubles at Washington last
month. They listed the difficulty
to get new capital as one OF their
major problems. They feel that if
no one else will, the government
should help them in getting their
needed capital.
These small businessmen want
varying sums-between $4,000 and
$3.50 ,000-but they cannot get mon
ey either from commercial banks
or from investment bankers. Com
mercial banks nowadays prefer to
make loans of only 30, 60, or 80
days. They do not want to lend
substantial amounts for four or
five years. The depression taught
them that commercial banks should
make only short-term temporary
loans. Many of these small buSi-
nessmen do not realize it, but what
they really need is more perma-
nent money rather than temporary
borrowing. This additional capital
should be secured by issuing and
selling more stock in their con-
Germs.
Cannot Sell New Securities
In the money market, however.
the small corporation finds such
financing almost impossible. I'm
der the Securities Exchange Act
most new securities cannot be issu-
ed without filing great mass OF
detailed data with the commission.

Furthermore, the issue has to be
okayed by the Blue Sky authorities
of each individual state in which
the securities are to be sold. Hence.
legal and accounting fees wipe out
the meagre investment banking
profits on small issues. Further
more, underwriters in New York
City or Chicago are not crazy to
sell new security issue of a pants
company in Klolona, Miss, or a
mining outfit in Eureka, Calf.
With the closing of these two
major avenues for new capital
commercial banks and capital mar
kets-small business has only two
alternatives left One is the loan
shark, who Specializes in loans to
little companies and who charges
tremendous rate of interest. The
other is the time-honored and
most sensible approach-by selling
bonds or stock to local business
men and investors who know the
company's management, history,
and character. Local people, how
ever. are so frightened by Presi-
dent Roosevelt'S attack on business
that they VIII not now invest a
penny in new enterprises or ex-
panSion.
