The large population of Russia 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, or 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. Two and one-half milJiele_i inns.. Two million 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. One and one-half million Rouman- ians. Five million Jews. Sixty million of 139 other different nations and races, as Tartars, Kurds, Bashkirs, Samoyedes, Krighizes, Kal- mucks, Turks, Bulgars, Greeks, Per- sians, gypsies and 120 others. 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. In the meantime, scores of them ho=le to become free and independent countries and thus preserve their an- cient homes, nationality, language, re- ligion and all. THE VERY TIME When Powerful Food 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 skill 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 bit 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 strength so rapidly that in a short time she was :as well, play- ful and robust as if she had never, been ill. "We all feel that Grape -Nuts was .the predominating factor in saving the sweet little girl's life." Name given by Canadian Postern Co., Windsor, Ont. Ryer read the above letter ?

"From the point of view of the shipping man the whole history of the war, as far as the transport service is concerned, is a wicked story of ignorance, ineptitude and colossal waste," declares the editor of Syren and. Shipping, the leading journal of the' British shipping trade. He adds: "Costly and useful ships were' used for months as prison ships. Super. ships like the Aquitania were employ- ed on scouting missions, their mag- nificent passenger equipment gutted. Ships were allowed to load cargo or to book a full passenger list and then owners were informed that the Ad- miralty required these boats." An instance is given of a 7,000 -ton boat which was all ready to sail, with 200 passengers, when it was taken over and sent to the west coast of South America, although it might have been loaded with coal and rea- lized a small fortune. Another case is given of a (1,000 -ton boat at Huelva about to load with a cargo of iron ore for England, which was requisitioned suddenly and sent empty to the Paci- fic, although there should have been plenty of merchant ships available much nearer the desired destination. "How long," asks the journal, "will these methods be tolerated? In the national interest, a committee of ship- ping men should have been selected to organize the Admiralty charter- ing."

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 ninny 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 afraidthey will get entirely out .of thein, 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. It is the old story of the Germans trying to drain France of ,its copper. The real reason is thought in official circles to be simply that the absence of gold overworks all the minor de- nominations, copper and nickel, as well as silver. The mint is handicapped by the mobilizing of some of its machines for other urgent work for the national defense, and the copper coinage fell last month to 1.00,000 francs, A single projectile from a' 15 inch naval gun weighs 1,950 lb. BIG AUSTRALIAN CR First of Type Constructed Entirely by British Colony. The cruiser Brisbane, the latest unit in the Australian navy, which was launched successfully at the Cockatoo Island Naval. Yard, Sydney, last mouth, is the largest vessel of any type yet launched under the Union Jack in the southern hemisphere. The Brisbane is of 5,400 tons, and is the first cruiser to be constructed coni- pletely by any of the oversea British dominions. At the launching' she was christened by Mrs. Fisher, the =wife of the Prime Minister, who is from Queensland. It is after the capital of that State that the cruiser is named. It is hoped to place the Brisbane in commission next Apgust. She is to be followed on the stocks by another vessel of the same type, to be called the Adelaide, in honor of the capital of South Australia.
