FOOD VALUE OF SOFT DRINKS

A single seven ounce bottle (the ordinary retail bottle) of carbonated beverage, properly made, contains five per cent of the total daily food requirement of many children, ac- cording to a statement by Dr. c. L. Alsberg, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the U. s. Department of Agriculture. The government of- ficial statement was made after an exhaustive investigation by his de- partment into the food value of soft drinks.
 "The average seven ounce bottle of soft drink contains about three-quar- ters of an ounce of sugar." Dr. As berg explained This represents, to use the language of the nutrition scientists, food value of 78 calories. And seventy eight Calories is a con- siderable amount of energy.
 "A person at rest, of average size, will require during the day some thing in the neighborhood of 2500 calories. By at rest 1 mean just nov ing around. If a person works, as the average business man who does not do any mechanical work, he will need three thousand If he is digging a trench he will need four thousand and above.
 "Of course, smaller man will re- quire less than 2500, and a child being still smaller will require proportion ately less. So that in the case of a child, seventy-eight calories, single bottle, may represent five per cent of the total daily food requirement so far as energy power force is con- cerned"

Women holding poll tax receopts paid in the year 1920, prior to Satur- day before the first Monday in July, and who have other qualifications of an elector, can vote on said poll tax receipt at any election, held between now and Saturday before the first Monday in July, 1921, according to an opinion rendered yesterday by attor- ney General J. s. Utley.
 The ruling in effect gives women holding poll tax receipts, the right to vote in the municipal and school cleo tions this spring. The opinion says that any woman who has attained the age of 21 years, since last assessing time would be eligible to vote on proof of age, without holding 1920 poll tax receipt
 Women now have equal political rights with men, and additional prop erty rights, Mir. Utley said in refer ence to the status of women since the passage of the equal rights bill. They may vote and are eligible to office, as are male electors and in addition the state laws give women certain property rights which are not extend ed to men.
 A husband may not sell property held jointly with his wife, without her consent, but a wife may sell or trans fer property held in her name with out cansent of her husband. Her dover interests in her husbands property also is not restricted as much as the husbands courtesy right in the wife's
