 NEW HOMES FOR OLD"
 By s. P Breckenridge Harper Broth
 CTS, Publishers. New York City.
 Americanization from one of the most important and human of all angles-the immigrants home -mak ing--is authoritively treated by s. P. Breckinridge in her book just pub lished by the Harpers, New Homes for Old" Professor Breckinridge points out that for the immigrant, the finding and making of a home means readjusting customs of food, dress, recreation and family relation ship.
 As professor of social economy in the University of Chicago, the author writes with an authority and insight to the social worker; as woman. she describes the immigrants proo- lems with a sympathy and human interest which will appeal to the reading public at large. Her treat ment of the foreign born housewife is of extraordinary interest to thoss

FOREIGNERS BUYING
 MANY ART OBJECTS
 AT BARGAIN PRICES
By Associated Press

Berlin, January 7.-Some of the most valuable collections of paint ings. renowned libraries, statues and antiques, as well as jewel heiriooms and family treasures. have been sold and taken from the country in the rush of foreigners to buy German goods while the exchange value of the mark was low.
 The immediate effect Of this rush to buy on the German population and resident foreigners has been short age of many necessities. and rapidly rising prices for goods still avail able. The fact that importations vir- tually have ceased. owing to the low foreign purchasing power of the mark. has added to the difficulties.
 German householders complain they are unable to replenish their linen supplies, and even some of the small CT hotels are short of sheets and pil- low cases. It is not uncommon for a traveller who has run the gauntlet of the Rhineland and border town ho- tels to carry his own pillow and sheets.
 Food supplies in many districts are reported exhausted, and shipments from central German towns have been

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

hope 10 those who keep the faith" and whose Peace on earth good will toward men. is a creed of every day and not merely one which Is chanted in glad haneiujahs at the blessed Christmastide.
 pr Dlllard believes In "resolu- tions," although he has made but one this new year of 1922 and that is not to let the things which he has to do interefere with the things he ough to do-a resolution which isn't amiss in the diary of any of us
 In speaking of the going out of the old year and the coming in of the new year. pr. DiHars says:
 January gets it's name from the two faced Roman god, Janus. One of the faces of this god was youthful and looked forward the other was aged and looked backward, and so it is well for us, as we enter the new year, to take a look backward Tn order that we may properly take stock; understand our times; see where we are; and then looking anx- iously, yet hopefully Into the future, proceed resolutely and wisely with the tasks set before us."
 The most outstanding event of the past year was the limitation Of arms conference called by our President and resulting thus far in the four power treaty. The next most sig nificant occurrence was tho granting of dominion form of government to Ireland by Great Britain. These two things will go down in history and make the year 1921 ever memora- ble In the annals of the nations.
 Here at home we have had many problems. much agitation, much log islation and some law enforcement As a nation we have dealt wisely O. otherwisely with problems of prohi- railroads. shipping and race condi- tlons.
 Scarcely had the new President taken. his seat before the republi- cans, under his leadership, began to reshape the tariff and tax laws. Tho effort to adopt q satisfactory tariff bill has been failure, due largely to fluctuations in foreign exchange. The changes made in the income tax law will prove very generally satis- factory; and no one will regret the passing of the transportation taxes.

religion, 1t Is seen in the attacks and counter attacks made on churches, the ministry, modern thought and the sacred scriptures.
 This reaction has manifested itself against educational institutions; some going so far as to advocate the over throw of our whole system of in struction. Tn theology, the reaction takes the form of advocating sys- tenn of dogma belonging to past ages.
 What is all this symptomatic off What does It indicate? It indicates lack of faith and good will and shows that the answer is: Funda- mental need of religion. We need to get a firm grip on the fundamental realities of life. All problems in the last analysis are religious problems.
 We rejc4ce in the results already attained in the disarmament confer ence; 1t seems to mark long step forward i'll the direction of peace. But, we are not unmindful of the fact that 1t is only step. You can't keep man from fighting by taking his gun away. Nations need something deeper and more vital than naval dis armament: they need mental and moral disarmament. As long as na- tions SOW the seeds of war, they will reap the horrors of war. The funda mental need of nations. as of men, is change of heart; not seeking for CTS, nor condemning In others what we condone in ourselves, but the cul- tivation of larger patriotism, an in- telligent helpfulness and spirit of universal good will. Never, till then, shall we have permanent peace and prosperity
 "The same thing is true of industry. Whenever employers and employees cultivate good will instead of-suspi- cion and hate. they will prosper. Roger Babson, our leading statisti- clan. has written four books, all teaching the same lesson, namely: the fundamentals of prosperity are spiritual and not material; our great est need Is more religion.
 After the disarmament confer ence is over, there ought to be eco homie or industrial conferences to discuss the principles of industrial peace and the economic rehabilitation of the world. There is much to be said for MT. Yanderlip's idea of q bank of the United States of Europe, but the greatest economic and indus trial need of the world is the estab- lishment of good will among men and classes and nations.

If you must have your meat ever,

 with salts occasionally, says
 noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost
 paralyzes the kidneys in their ec-
 forts to expel it from the blood. Tiey become sluggish and weaken.
 then you suffer with dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
 ness, your stomach sours. tongue is coated and when the weather is bad
 you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment.
 the channels often get sore and ir ritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating
 acids. to cleanse the kidneys and
 flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from
 any pharmacy here; take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your
 kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
 bined with lithia. and has been used for generations to flush and stimu- late sluggish kidneys, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine, so 1t no 'fonger irritates. thus ending bladder weakness.

 Perhaps after all 1t Is just as well that we have to take the reading of the future with a grain of salt and realize that we are not really able to forsee events, for w. .h our weak ness and human emotions which cry out against despair and sorrow many of us would shirk our duty--nay, be prone to get away from things In some way or another-"side step" the issue which carries us over the rough places and incline towards "a bed of rosesa--the smooth places.
 At any rate as we stand on the Threshold of new year few of us can resist wondering what it has in store for us!
 How many of us will realize our ambitions? How many of us will be disappointed?
 I always like to hear from some one in whom I have confidence and an whom I repose my trust, what the ideas are that govern the life of such an one-one whose life Is given to helping others and making the way clear-of looking forward as well as looking backward-by the latter remedysng the mistakes we have made and by the former hoping to profit by them.
 I talked with Dr. James E. Dillard the highly esteemed pastor of the Southside church a few days ago about these things-what the old year had meant to him and his, "the world and his wife" and what the new year holds out and just how far we per sonaily can control matters-and the great good that can come of our searnest efforts.
