Population Consists of 140 Different Peoples. The large population of Russig is more varied than the population of any country in the world. The popu- lation consists of more than 140 dif- ferent peoples, nationalities, nations, races--differing in language, reli- gion, dress, customs, mode of living, civilization and living mostly apart from one another. They are: Fifty million Great Russians, oi actual Russians, or "Muscovites" (the inhabitants of the former grand duchy of Moskva), now ruling all Russia. Twenty million Little Russians, for- merly a part of Poland. Twelve million Poles. Six million White Russians, former- ly a part of Poland. TeO 8A no half million Winne Two miiiion Lithuanians, formerly part of Poland. Two million Germans. One and one-half million Letts, for- merly part of Poland. One and one-half million Armen- 'ians.

Sixty million of 139 other different nations and races, as Tartars, Kurds, Bashkirs, Samoyedes, Krighizes, Kal- mucks, Turks, Bulgars, Greeks, Per- Most all of these live in groups and clans on their ancient territory. "It would take centuries to melt these 140 different nations of different races, with 140 different languages and almost as many different reli- gions--into one solid Russian nation.

J THE VERY TIME When Powerful Foed Is Most Needed. The need of delicate yet nutritious food is never felt so keenly as when a 'convalescent gets a set back on ac- count of weak stomach. Then is when Grape-Nuts shows its power, for it is a most scientific and easily digested food. "About a year ago," writes a west- ern woman, "my little six-year-old niece moved to a new home. She naturally had a change of diet and of 'course a change of water, and some- how she contracted typhoid fever. "After a long siege her case seem- ed hopeless, doctors gave her up, and she was nothing but skin and bones, couldn't eat anything, and for weeks did not know even her father or mother. Her parents, in trying to get something delicate and nourishing that she could eat, finally hit upon Grape-Nuts food, and it turned out to be just the thing. "She seemed to relish it, was soon conscious of her surroundings, and be- gan to gain sirength 'so rapidly that in a short time she was as well, play- ful and robust as if she had pevep been ill. 3 : ; "We all feel that Grape-Nuts was the predominating factor in saving the sweet little girl's life." .

Stamps Displace Copper Small Change In France. Notices have been posted in many of the Parisian cafes that patrons who do not have the right change to pay for refreshments will have to accept postage stamps or checks for change for any sum less than 10 sous. This is another indication of the scarcity of coppers, which numerous collec- tions. for charitable purposes have withdrawn temporarily from circula- tion, and the fact that since small money became scarce there has been a tendency on the part of the people to cling to what they have. Some people are said to be hoarding coppers because they are afraid they will get entirely out of them, and others, it is charged, are collecting them with the less worthy motive of making five francs premium on every hundred francs in copper coins de- livered at certain confidential points.
