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.

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.

All 'shops clove from one fq three, for the employees work a silt hour day., The assistants havea wonderful system of counting on a square frame with colored balls, like; the toys. on which our Methere learnt their aunt - hers. The amazing tbitig is that they 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 "half a pound of twopenny rice and a pennyworth of treacle." 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 direct to the policeman, who gives 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.

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.
