The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1922-07-24

Too much praise cannot be gwen the delegation from
Polk county sent to Tallahassee through the Chamber
of Commerce, for the good work accomplished before
the State Roard Department. Judge Edwards and c.
W. Dean are beth thoroughly familiar with what Polk
county has done in the matter Of road building and what
needs to be accomplished before full justice secured
for all this section of Florida. The chief mission 10 al
ahassee was to obtain action the part of the state
read authorities the COMP eon of direct route north
ward from Lakeland to the Lake county line by way Of
Foxtown, there being missing gap Of SIX miles
between Foxiown and the Auburndale read at Lake
Agnes, the site of the new Polk City. As has been
previously stated. this route will eventually form part of
a direct short route 10 Jacksonville. The country ira
vcrsed is by way of Leesburg to Asor and across The
ST. Johns to Person where connection is made with
State road No. 3 from DeLand to jacksonville popu-
arly known as The ST. johns riven section route. Assur
ance has been given that the bridge the ST. Johns
at Astor will positively be built the very future
Lake and Vousia counties joining with the state in the
erection of a substantial structure.
The ether project agreed is the paving with
permanent material Of that section of State road No.
from the end Of the asphalt just south of Frosproof to
the asphalt in Highlands county mile north of
Avon Park. With the conemp lated Improvements 10 be
made by Highland and Gades counties to this route it is
safe to predict that and very interesting through
route will be opened to the East Coast country along the
south shore Ct Lake Okecchobee within FIVE years. When
Polk has these two projects completed and the county
finishes the direct route from Kathleen to the Pasco
county line enroute Dade City, there will be county
in Florida better equipped the matter Of paved high
ways than Polk.

ARGUMENT FAVORING
CARBONATED DRINKS
Chemist Who has Studied Carbonated
Beverages Finds They Have
Nutritive Qualities.

NuLrlIlNe GudlitleSs
Washington, d. c., July 22.-Dr. L.
B. Allyn, chief chemist OF the West
field Laboratories. who has made an
exhaustive study OF carbonated bev-
erages from the standpoint of their
food value, has announced that soft
drinks have the ofllowing nutritive
significance:
They possess material which aver
ages about 175 calories per pint.
Many commonly used foods have less
caloric values, weight for weight.
They contain various fruit acids
which are well utilized to promote
the health of the system.
Pure flavors have a continental eff
feet which is frequently increased by
the use of carbon-dioxide.
A complex diet is the father of a
complex thirst. Soft drinks are a nat.
ural result.
To be of the greatest nutritive val.
ne, they must be sanitary, pure and
free from any injurious ingredient.
They should be drunk slowly. to
avoid chilling the upper part Of the
alimentary canal tract. Many COM
plants concerning them are traceable
to their misuse rather than to the
presence of deleterious ingredients.
They tend to reduce the craving
for alcoholic stimulants.
DR.. Allyn closes his report by say
ing:
THE soft drink of today is no in
considerable. factor in the diet and
social life of the public. Money spent
for the intelligent use of pure soft
drinks brings to the consumer a
good return on the investment"

FROM OUR READERS
THAT PARKING ORDINANCE

Editor Evening telegram:
Your leading editorial OF July 18th,
Traffic Regulations has been read
with wide interest as well as sur
prise l herewith submit my COM
ments on the following portion of this
editorial, which seems to be the heart
of the subject discussed, as it in
wolves the convenience OF Lakeland
church goers who represent the citi-
zenship which controls the destiny 81
any community.
And this leads to the necessity OF
putting All end to parking on both
sides of the downtown streets. In
front of the churches on Sunday
there can always be found two long
lanes of automobiles that offer plenty
of thrills for the venturesome driver
who risks damage to car and passen-
gers in passing other cars four
abreast"
1t is true, ears are parked on both
sides of the streets in front OF
churches, and it is true that people
going to church have a perfect right
so to do. There is a state law pro-
tecting all places Of worship during
the hours of worship, and if there
were no such law the law of common
decency should prevail. A church
has the right to rope off any street in
front of their church, if they so de-
sire, and whether there were such a
law Or not, the sentiment of the
church-going citizens of Lakeland
would make it a law Immediately ii
hey so desired.

agement of Lakeland to consider some
Of these points very we'll before they
attempt ito put an end to such prac-
tees. They might better turn their
attention to some of the annoyanaces
endured by certain churches. On Flor
ida avenue a business is being con-
Quoted on Sundays, the only business
of its kind operating on that day, and
this in direct violation of state law
prohibiting open shop business on
Sunday, most especially during the
hours of worship. In the minds OF
many citizens it has been source of
wonderment why the city Of Lakeland
should permit such an open violation
of state law, as well as a nuisance
10 public worship. AT this corner au-
tomobiles can be heard putting
streets damned, profane language
heard and such things of the rough
est sort, while church services are
being conducted not over thirty feet
away Furthermore, the church was
there years before this place of bust
ness came into existence, and happens
to be one of the landmarks Of the
city Of Lakeland.
As to headlights and taillights, and
more especially taillights to autOmo-
biles, l would consider this 50 insig
nlicant that it IS hardly worth COM
ment. as any motorist knows he can
see as big an object as an automobile
in front of him quicker than he can
see a tail light if his own headlights
are working.
Sunday is the day set aside for pub
lie worship, and just because attend
ance at church has not been made
compulsory does not excuse the ''yen-
turesome driver for choosing streets
where worship is being conducted.
I am quite sure that had you given
proper thought to the subject your
editorial would have been entirely diff
ferent and conveyed an entirely diff
ferent meaning.
Yours respectfully,

.MCM. BOY
TIES FOR
$50 PRIZE

William Elliott, student in the
vocational agriculture department at
Mcmillan High School has tied for
the $50 prize in the Capper Pig
Club. William raised Hampshire
hogs as his vocational project on his
fathers farm west of Mexico and had
had most unusual success.
His records show that he had eight
animals totaling 1885 pounds of a
total value of $251.5O. His expenses
were as follows: Pasture, $500; fee
and miscellaneous expenses, $90.47;
interest ON investment, $1.33; de-
probation so cents and labor S7.70
making a total Of $122. His total
net profit was \$129.50 and his total
net income FROM the project was
$259.50 or pre- cent of 1861 profit.
The ration fed the animals was
varied and designed to make large
hogs rather that fat ones. He took
one animal of approximately the
same size as some of his fathers,
H. E. Elliott, and fed it on this ration
and when the animal was full grown
it was found to"weight 100 pounds
than the animals fed by Mr.. Elliott.
William also has the distinction of
being president of the Capper Pig
Club. He is a sophomore in McMil-
Ian High School,
Prof. A. Gorrell, head of the de-
partment of vocational agriculture
Is pround of the record that his stud
ents are making and says that he be-
lieves it is fact that the most ac-
curate agricultural records outside
of the government and State exper-
iment stations are those kept by
vocational agricultural students.
One student, Russell Griffin, made
140 per cent on his project which
was sheep raising.

Smallpox Threat in Galloway

The reporting to DR.. C. H. Christ
ian, county health physician, of Six
teen new cases of smallpox in Cal
laway last week, has caused the Full
ton city council to consider an ord
nance compelling the fumigating of
houses. The ordinance would provide
that all persons able to pay for this
should do SO, and that Others should
apply to the city physician. Doctor
Christian is opposed to this provision
because he thinks that the humilia-
tion would keep many people from
having their houses funigated in any
event. He is in favor Of the city doing
all the work. The new smallpox
cases are chiefly in the Liberty and
Dixie neighborhoods, but several have

jacob STORE
ROBBED XMAS
CLOTHES TAKEN

The jacob Mems furnishing store,
on the South side Of the Square, was
entered sometime during Sunday night
and quite an amount Of shoes and
clothing taken by the thieves. En-
trance was gained through a small
opening broken through a glass in
the rear window, which points to one
Of the robbers being small man or
boy.
A coat and vest evidently belonging
to one of the intruders was left in
the building. Evidently the men, it
is believed that there were three, out
fitted themselves completely while
in the store as the shirts, overcoats,
jewelry, gloves as well as ties and
suits showed they had been taken
out and tried on.
The police are working on the case
though it is feared the robbers were
transients and have made good their
escape by this time.
