BERLIN, Nov. 17.-There is a small
remote village in the Grand Duchy Of
Baden which is regretting its efforts
10 swell its population in order to rank
as a community Of 1000 souls.
In preparing for the census the local
authorities held preliminary enumera-
tions of the villagers, but not by the
most thorough searching could they find
more than s9J men. women and children
in the village. 1t was their ambition
that the village should appear in the
list of population with four figures
against its name.
The burgOmaster was nearly In des-

severely damped, however. by a new

taxation. Thus the villagers would

water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
a spoonful of fruit juice or flavoring.
This affords great deal Of nourish-

uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders
1t many times for his patients.
