LIFE IN GERMANY, NATION LIVING ON A VOLCANO.

The Berlin correspondent of the Louden Oheerver, writing a month ago, said :—

There are optimists at work in Germany. First and foremost is the statistician who has just published the pleasing news that at least 280,000,000 marks br been saved the Municipal Council in Berlin alone by No water-carts have the rain this season.

been necessary until now, and a few more weeks of the present weather may easily bring up the sim saved to a round railliard of marks. This by no means, counter- balances the fact that the harvest prospects are of the most dismal description, and only a very fice July indeed can save Ger- many from very meagre crops of rye and potatoes, the nation's chief stand-by. The calculation is very typical of the generally prevailing frame of mind: a thankfulness for the small mercies of the moment and incapacity for counting the cost of any such draft on the future.

Characteristic of this point of view is the sadden fall in the rising tide 'of anger against the Government and the Reichsbank that has set in in presence of the danger of general rising against the almost impossi ble e nditions of life that have prevailed since the murk begun to fail. The demands of the industrial councillors for a waidimuni wage of five gold dollars a week for the wage-earners and of two gold dollars for! recipients of any kind of dole, has bad such a sobering effect on employers that steps are, being taken at last to make the index figure' tally with the real rise in the cost of living. Tested weekly instead of monthly, it is hoped that some adequate figure will be arrived at. Typical of the past week's panic is the fact that the percentage of increase demanded on the new wages tariffs was raised more than once during negotiations lasting only a few days. Any increase is inadequate after a week of waiting. The confusion of opinion was never more appall- 1 ing than at the moment.

THE ETERNAL QUESTION OF THR MARK.

It is obvious that nobody fears an agita tion for wages based on a foreign currency, more than those who demand payment for the goods they manufacture at world-mar. ket prices. But it is just as obvious that the wage-cammers, who are willing to accept a stop-gap in paper to tide them over the coming weeks, are merely cutting off the evil day. Still more obvious is the reason- ing that no gold basis is of any account when the prices of things paid for in paper rise and the "stable" gold "wage remains the same at the end of the month as it did at the beginning. On the other hand, no adequate payment in paper can be made to-day without the same thing happening as happened in Austria--more and more unemployment until the fair and square in- dex figure, honest at last, was "corrected." Faced with unanswerable arguments, which- 1 ever way they turn, Germans are suggest ing, pending the working out of nebulous theories of complete currency reform, the Utopian idea of taxes, several times multiplied by a hypothetical inder, paid in advance.

EXCHANGE SPECULATION FOR ALL.

The present talk of stricter control of speculation in foreign currencies is ex- ceedingly plausible when reported in the columns of a newspaper, but appears little less than ridiculous on a walk through the streets of Borlin. No queue lined up on the chance of securing a pound or two of potatoes, sugar, or any such luxury during had after the war was ever tuore patient than the well-dressed throng" that press around the little, noucy changing kiosks which have spring up miraculously in all the most important thorough fares. Ostensibly for the „conven- ience of foreigners desirous of chang ing their money into marks, theas kiosks are simply a convenience for the small speculator who has neither time nor inclination, nor money enogh for acting throughs bank, or waiting about the Bourse building for the clance of direct deal. Strict order prevails, two by two the eager speculators await their turn, and a brisk business is transacted among them- selves. Many turn away long before their turn to "ebange" arrives, well satisfed with the offer of the next man or woman in the queue. Speculation in exchanges bas long are become a national disease. It is absurd to imagine that any form of "centralisation" can stop it. All the same, the bare idea has been sufficient to calm the spirits of of those with no money to speculate in.

The prospect of increased rates for all methods of locomotion by underground, Lrams and oiuibuses," with a two hundred per cent, increase of railway fares, and the promise of exactly the same thing again in August, hus merely bad the effect of a rush for early holidays and bookings for specially cheap trams weeks in advance. Excellent business is being done in Ger many by these mean it is always cheaper to buy a thing to lay than to-morrow- even a railway ticket or a postage stamp. The frame of mind of a satisfied hargain- hunter is general one just now, drowning most other considerations.

N

£3,000,000 FOR A KIND ACT.

Harry Zeitun, a retired army officer, aged to years, has received about £3,000,000 under the will of Mrs Julia Davies, an American, in token of his affectionate care and protection of my self." In January, 1922, Zeitun was in Rome, where he met Mrs Davies, who fell, ill. He recured for bor the best care,} and advice, and on their arrival in Eng- land he was appointed her secretary. She went to America, where she died in December. Zeitun was informed of bio luck when he inquired whether the money which was due to him for wages as Mr. Davies secretary could be covered by her! estate. The will stipulated, that her hus band should have no claim on her estate, and he is contesting the matter in the American Courts.

WORTH

WHILE

Nothing that you possess is more worth looking alter than your health. Your comfort. your bappiases. your effici ency and success all depend upon it. Take good care of it! Never neglect any aliment of the stomach, liver or bowels but make a point of taking a dose of Beecham's Fills soon as you are conscious of Indisposition - from such cause. Many people and this an excellent way of avoiding the many disorders which arise from constipation and indigestion and a reliable means of preserving health and strength.
