for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders masticatlon impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet l find Grape-Nuts and al
bumen water very nourishing and re-
freshing. This recipe is my own idea
and is made as follows: Soak tea

water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of ali egg and
q spoonful of fruit juice or flavoring.
This affords a great deal of nourish-
ment that even the weakest stomach
can assimilate without any distress.

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

A curious case of museum robbery
Is engaging attention at Weimar. An
agent offered some time ago to the
Goethe-Schiller museum a series OF
Goethe manuscripts, which on exam
inatioa proved to have been stolen
from the museum itself. The agent ex-
planned that he had received them in
good faith from a well-known anti
quarian in Berlin. A search of the an
tiquarian's house brought to light
many other documents belonging to
the Weimar museum.

MOTOR CARS MADE IN INDIA.
Factory at Bangalore Turns Out Cars
Made Entirely by Native
Labor.

Hindu philosophical genius has long
been famous; Hindu mechanical genius
is now developing. A company is
about to be fioated for the purpose of
introducing service of motor o1nni-
buses in the neighborhood of Poona,
India. India is also in fair way of
placing itself beyond any position of
dependence on cars made by foreign
industry, since motor cars are now be-
ing successfully produced by native In
dian labor. The seat of this Indian
industry is situated at Bangalore and
employs some $50 hands, who have
been engaged in turning out cycles,
and, latterly, motor cars. A signal
demonstration of the company's abili-
ties in this direction has been recently
afforded on the occasion of the Visit
of the prince of Wales to My$ore,
where motor car, constructed entire-
1y by native Indian labor, was placed
at the disposal of his royal highness.
The car in question is described as
three seated and of six and a half
horse power, with water cooled en-
CINE. The finish throughout is equal
to the higher grade cars imported into
the country, while the cost Isl about
$3.50 less. It's speed has been regis
tered at 80 miles an hour. The same
company is also stat j to have insti-
tuted a record in native bicycle con-
struction, turning out on one occasion
three fully plated machines with spe-
cial requirements in SO hours.
