Everybody knows it, for wages were never as high before nor have merchants ever done as much business as they are doing to-day. The point is, what are we doing with our money? Unfortunately, too many are spending it as fast as they make if. Spendthrifts do not make a country; they never have and never will, Nor do those countries become wealthy or powerful whose people get money quickly and let it go easily. They make real progress who engage in profit- ah's work and put something by through spending less than they =" Thus it is we have the old saying "Any fool can make money, but it takes a wise man to keep it." In a pinch the free-spender, the man who spends all he makes, can neither help himself nor his country. It's the reserve that counts; the cents and the dollars put by as we go along. France, one of the richest of countries per capita, is not known so much as a country of big earners bit as one of great savers, The frugal peasant has laid the lasting foundations of her wealth, he has buiit up the huge stores make, OF THE GREAT FRENCH CENTRE OF LENS. FOR fifty years the Teuton peoples have been trained, dis- ciplined, whipped, into servile cogs of an implacable military machine, by which is maintaifted the Prussian doctrine of might, and the Kaiser's'autocracy. The Teutons deny themselves, they make sacrifices, because they are trained or forced to do so, but they do it. Will Obviate Importation--dier- " mans May Have Damaged Pits] and Made Them Temporarily Un- workable, Paris, Sept, 9.---There is a sense of victory in the very air of Paris that the .news of every hour only renders more positive, It is confi- dently expected here that Ham, the gateway of St. Quentin, will fall soon into the hands of the French, while the British entry into Lens is expected hourly Of all these the latter, apart from strategical reasons, the most interesting to the French public. Lens means coal. The Brit-| ish penetrated its suburbs in what seems now to have been years ago. Their classig victory at Loos brought | them within sight of the pit-heads of Lens, but the entry into the prom- ised land of coal was not then vouch- safed to them, The economic gain to France, and, indirectly, to Britain, that will result from the recaptuse of Lens, is al- most incalculable. Of the 60,000,000 tons of coal which France required before the war, she received 40,000 - O00tons from her own mines, and 60 is in one sense of ready money too soon, -- that have brought France successfully through her many costly wars, The average Canadian has little trouble in making money, but 'he very much needs training in saving, and out of regard for himself and the country he can't begin probably many months to extinguish the fires, In any case Paris is re- signed to the prospects that the win- ter will be well over before the mines in Lens coal field will be working again, It is suggested here that whatever damage the Germans may do to the pits they scannot destroy the coal, and that the withdrawal of the en- emy from gunfire range of the ad- joining Béthune coal field, which has been under bombardment for many months, will, to some extent, com- pensate fof the Lens mines being un- per cent. of this came from the pits of Northern France. The balance was made up by 10,000,000 from Eng- land, 5,000,000 from Germany, and 6,000,000 from Belglum. Owing to the German occupation of the Lens coal field the French output has been reduced to a minimmn, while the amount formerly received from Ger- many and Belgium has, of course, been non-existent. 1'range, conse- quently, has had to depend for near- I font years on England to make up ll England Has Done Her Work. England, it is gratefully acknowl- édged, has done her level best to ac- complish the impossible task of meet- ing the French demands, but natur- ally she has been unable, owing to the lack of transport facilities and her own small preparation for meet- ing the imperative demands at home, ito do more than furnish a part of the coal. The result is that coal is so scarce in France to-day that subur- ban gas companies round Paris have all had to greatly curtajl the output of gas for heating and {Humination, while some have been compelled to shut down entirély, Coal for do- mestic consumption las been fre- quently unobtainable, while coke soared to impossible prices. As an example, I know a suburban Paris municipality: which this week offers coke as a special opportunity at $39 a ton, Last winter many people, even among the wealthy class of Paris, found the only place to keey warm was in bed. It may be judged from these facts how eagerly Paris is watching the British troops driving into Lens. Probability Of Damage, The question is as tv the extent of wilful damage the Germans have heen able to do te the pits before re- treating, If the Germans, as seems certain, have prepared for wide- spread. destruction of the mechan- ism of the mines, then it will be a long time before the pits ean recom- menee working. The fear here is that the Germans may have set fire to the pits, which would be a much more serious matter than the mere destruction of the engines and" haul- ing machinery, and it would take \ WAR PUZZLES actress in Henry J One part formalin (40 per workables 'In any case it is hoped the French military authorities will take immediate steps to comb out from the fighting ranks a sufficient number of trained miners to enable the taking of every advantage of the improved coal prospects in the north. Coal is a most vital need ing every Allied country, and too much importance cannot be placed on its production, especially in the imme- diate future. ie who plays the movie W, Savage's musical "Have a Heart," to be Ouse on 11th.
