INVESTING FOR THE FAMILY
Abraham Lincoln humorously said
of a poor neighbor's assets, "He has
a wife and two children, which: I
should think were worth thirty thou-
sand dollars to any man."
The family is the greatest wealth
of every member of it—the first con-
-tern of the individual or of society.
Itis a golden investment and needs
the same protection and care that
any investment requires.
One of its best safeguards is good
reading; one of the things that puts
it in jeopardy is bad reading. The

TEE WOMEN OF LUXEMBURG
Coming from Paris, Milan, or Brus=
sets to Luxemburg, the difference in
the women is startling. Lip -stick is
at a discount in Luxemburg, so also
is the "coiffure de jeune garcon,"
and unless introduced by the foreign-
er this season's complexion of "rouge
Tnandarine" with its accompanylIng
ingenious sepia freckle is unknown.
Lost also is that elegant feminine
accessory the Continental youth with
glossy hair and accentuated waist-
line. The girls here move about
alone or in couples. There are no
youths in the cafes during the day
munching the truly delicious cakes.
They are occupied in the breweries
and the glove factories or at the
industrial or agricultural colleges.
The Luxemburgeeis,is not ashamed
to be ruled by a woman, but is proud
of the reall' pretty young duchess
who looks down on one from the post-
cards in the shop windows with smil-
ing, intelligent young eyes. The
Grand Duchess is very popular, hold-
ing distinctly modern views on the
rights of subjects and the duties of a
twentieth-century ruler, and she has
shown herself both wise and tactful
during those extremely difficult years
of the war.
The market -place of Luxemburg
may be said to be run by women.
dogs, and horses. In this roomy
square, which from the point of view
of the visitor is the centre of the
city, the peasants of the Duchy hold
their market. Here, drawn by a huge
brindled mastiff in brightly polished
brass harness, is a gaily painted blue
cart the size of a barrow crammed
with vegetables—delicate green en-
dives and pale pink carrots; and on
top in a sort of wooden crate, repos-
ing as though in a chariot of state,
a couple of live young -pullets who
can be taken bask home if prices are
poor. As far,ps one can judge, these
dogs are not all-used—one noticed
that when the brown -faced girl walk-
ing briskly by the dog became too
immersed in conversation with a
neighbor she was brought to book by
impatient barking, and the procession
started again. There are police in -

The assistants havea wonderful

produce the right answer from this
uggling, and I am told that eompli-
cated bookkeeping can be done on
this system. which they learn'from
childhood. To the onlooker it smacks
of magic. The old measures are re-
tained, though the Government is
doing busy propaganda for the metric
system. Stuff is bought by the "ar-
chine," which is the convenient -length
of one's arm, , There is undoubtedly
a flavour of adventure here in buying

plea have a, polish that is obtainable
by elbow -grease and the corner of
one's coat, and the big ripe pears are
set neatly row upon row beside the
little black stalkless cherries from the
Caucasus. A complete lunch can be
bought between one end of the street;
and the other, for here are the sand -
eh sellers with their white rolls in
which the cheese, the sausage or the,
egg is arranged so as to show the
contents to the passer by, and here is
the sour milk man.
By the Holy Iberian shrine, under
the arches that lead to the red square,
and the kremlin, the throng is thick-
est and strange trades abound. Not
only do we, find cakes and cigarettes
and toothpicks, but here is a man
who makes a living selling the wire
needles with which one cleans a Pri-
sons stove—a good trade in a country
that uses oil and no , gas. Very few
people pause now to cross themselves
before the Black Virgin, whose only
attendants are the professional beg-
gars crowded at the door. The oth-
eers hurry past, to where at the corner
a bootblack plies a trade in every-
thing that a shod man could want.
He will sell you laces or elevators, or
tins of polish, and he will mend your
boots on you as a blacksmith shoes
a horse. It is the safest method.
Here and there a vendor hawks a
solitary article that he has picked up
somehow — better not inquire too
closely into its origin. He will offer
you cheap a pair of field glasses, an
overcoat, or a mattress.
Every transaction is the occasion
for much talk, for it would be dis-
appointing to the seller and unprofi-
table to the buyer to pay the first
price named. The seller acts on the
principle of thinking of a number and
doubling it. He expects you to halve
it. The game consists in seeing who
conies out best9n the difference be-
tween the number you and he first
named. Then with due ceremony
he balances his hand scales, and ends
by giving you your goods in an im-
posing bag with printed Church writ-
ing which neither you nor he can
read.
But with the advent of the militia
half the sellers scatter. When the
red band on his cap is seep in the
distance it is the signal for flight by
those who have no license. The gov-
ernment tries to control this horde of
minor merchants, so that the consum-
er may be protected against bad
goods, bad weight, and bad money.
As the militiaman approaches only
half the vendors stand their ground.
There is a stampede. Hampered by
cans and baskets and trays of cigar-
ettes, young and old, men and women
go muttering and cursing. Some-
times in the fight a tray or a basket
is spilt, and, with the friendliness of
common labor, the others gather
round to help. Very few arrests are
made, and the culprits often set up
again a few streets farther off. Be-
sides, a fine for minor offences is a
simply thing in Rustle. Yon pay it

CAUSE OF BACKACHE%
Every muscle in the body needs a
amply of rich, red blood in propor-
tion to the work it does. The mus-
cles of the back are under a heavy
strain and have but little rest. When
the blood is thin they lack nourish-
ment and rebel. The result is a
sensation of pain in these muscles.
Many people are frightened into
believing that backaches are due to
kidney trouble, but the best medicine
authorities agree that backache is
very seldom due to kidney trouble. In
fact not more than one backache in a
hundred has anything to do with the
kidneys. The whole trouble is due
to thin or impure blood, and those
who are troubled with pains in the
back or loins, either frequent or oc-
casional, should look -.to the condition
of the blood. It will be found in most
cases that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
by building up the blood and feeding
the starved nerves and muscles will
banish the pains and make you feel
better in every otter way. How
much better it is to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for your blood than to give
way to unreasonable alarm about
your kidneys. If you really suspect
your kidneys any doctor can make a
test in ten minutes, that will set your
fears at rest, or tell you the worst.
All dealers in medicine sell Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, or you can get them
by mail at 50 cents a box from The

country will have to regard its own
interests,and will take whatever steps
are necessary to that end, irrespective
of the effects they may have on old
friendships. And if, as I hope she
will do, Gerrmany makes a last de-
spairing appeal•and throws herself on
the compassion of her conquerors in
the Great War, I trust this great
Empire will not hesitate for a mom-
ent to respond to that appeal -and use
all of its diplomatic power and influ-
encd to support her and prevent a
calamity, which would be infinitely
more dangerous to Europe and the
world than the downfall of Russia
six or seven years ago.
"In any case, what we do should
be done quickly. For the crisis in its
most acute form has arrived."
General Smuts believed that at the
conference he advocated, the govern-
ments of the interested powers should
be directly represented, and that, if
at all possible, the co-operation of the
United States as an active member
should be secured. The main ques-
tion for this conference to settle
would be that reparations, "and" he
added, "the stage which this question
has now reached renders a satisfac-
tory solution possible if only states-
men will be reasonable and will de-
sire a solution.
"It is now universally r •zed
that the amount fixed by the ara-
tions Commission in May, 192 was
too high, could not be paid, anthat
even.if it were paid, the conseq ences
for industry would be calamitous.
The amount has to be reduced to a
reasonable figure, and from recent
correspondence between the British,
French and Belgian Governments, it
appears possible to arrive at such a
reasonable figure. Itwould, in ad-
dition, be necessary to. give Germany
a moratorium for two years before
WORF,D NEWS the payments are begun in order to
reform her currency, re-establish her
reedit and balance her budget."
That Premier Smuts' warning of
the imminence of the crisis in Ger-
man affairs was founded on cold fact
is indicated by the progress of events
in that unhappy country. T h e
Stresemann Government appears to
be almost hopelessly handicapped by
its own lack of strength and the ob-
durate attitude of the French. It is
true the first Separationist wave in
the Rhineland area has lost some of
its early force, but the reason seems
to be found in its lack of support
from the more solid types .01 citizen
within the affected area rather than
any check administered from Berlin.
Noiv it is reported these more influen-
tial classes are taking up the move-
ment, and the threat of separation
appears more serious than before.
Much depends on the attitude of the
French, it is reported, whether the
republic proclaimed comes into actual
being or not.
Throughout the Rhineland, and in
Bavaria and Saxony, there have been
more or less serious clashes between
the Separationists and those who re-
main loyal to the British Government.
Even in Berlin hungry mobs tramp-
ing the streets, in angry moods, are
ready to join in any outbreak that
holds out even a slim prospect of re-
lief from the imminent starvation.
British industrialists apparently
have come to the conclusion that in-
ability to sell their goods is worse
than difficulty in buying their raw
materials. Since the war the policy
of deflation pursued in Great Britain
has steadily increased the value of
the pound in relation to the currencies
of the other European nations. This
undoubtedly helped Britain to buy her
raw materials more advantageously
in the. United States and Canada,
where currency values are relatively
high. At the same time, however,
it has steadily increased the obstacles
in the way of reviving Britain's sales
of goods to the European nations,
which, by reason of the rise in the
pound value while their own money
is steadily depreciating, have found
British goods costing them more and
more in terms of their own francs,
marks, lira, or whatever their cur-
rency unit happens to be. Because
of the seriousness of the unemploy-
ment crisis in thr United Kingdom,
there is a movement nn foot there
now favoring a policy of moderate
inflation, which would bring the
pound into somewhat closer relation
to the currencies of Europe, although
General Smuts, South Africa's bril-.
liant Premier, appears . to have set
not only British officialdom, but the
entire world, by the ears with his
plain-spoken pronouncements on the
subject of the reparations tangle and
Brtish policy thereto, Coming sim-
ultaneously with the semi-official de-
claration of George Harvey, Ameri-
can Ambassador to Great Britain,
that the United States was still ready
to rend a hand in solving the repara-
tion problem, Premier Smuts' demand
for an immediate calling of a confer-
ence of the powers mainly interested
in the reparations question, opens the
way to great possibilities.
General Smuts' speech is regarded
as his answer to the "die-hard" mem-
bers of the British Government who
have been trying.to muzzle the Im-
perial Conference debates. As might
be expected, his emphatic declara-
tions, particularly his denunciation of
the French policy in the reparations
matter, have not proven popular with
them, and they appear to have added
substantially, as a consequence, to
Premier Baldwin's already extensive
troubles with his own official 'family.
The South African Premier handl-
ed his subject without gloves. The
French policies he denounced in no
uncertain terms, representing the
French occupation of the Ruhr and
exploitation of Ruhr industries as as
much a breach of an international
treaty—the peace treaty—as was
Germany's action, when, in 1914, she
treated her treaty with Belgium as
a scrap of paper.
"A very ,grave responsibilityrests
on, France before history," Premier
Smuts declared. "This country, and
the small countries which surround
Germany on the continent, cannot, be
indifferent to Germany's fate. To all
of them the economic and political
dissolution of Germany would be an
irreparable disaster of the first class.
"Germany is both economically and
politically necessary to Central Eur-
ope, and her complete breakdown
would shake and render insecure the
whole European position to an extent
'far beyond what anybody can forsee
to -day. Itis, therefore, to the in-
terest of this country, as well as to
that of the Central European States
in every legitimate way to prevent
the breakdown of Germany..
"How can we do this? In my opin-
ion, we can, at any rate, follow the
benevolent policy which this country
adopted toward France after the
Napoleonic wars. We can give Ger-
many moral support, which will mean to the same time, further away from
very much indeed—perhaps every- normal exchange rates with the
thing to her in her hour of adversity. North American cortjinent.
