necessary for the commissioners

II also find after a further inveS-
tigation of alleged irregularities
there are approximately 2.i00 MeNi-
can voters IN Hidalgo county who
participated in the November q
election. OF these. only a negligi-
bic number secured their own poll
tax receipts. IL is a fact that the
greater portion Of these voters car
not read. write or speak the English
language. Marked ballots have been
presented TO them and returned as
originally presented.

HYGIEN|C VALUE
IN SOFT DRINK

Bottled carbonated beverages not
only have much nutritional value
because of the sugar they contain,
declares Mayer e. Jaffa, M. S.,
director Of the bureau of food and
drugs, California State Board of
Health, but also the acids used In
them have therapeutic and hygienic
value which should not be over
looked.
Pointing out these values, DR..
Jaffa, who also is professor emritus
of nutrition at the University or
California, says:
IAN examination of a large num-
Der of soft drinks indicates that the
sugar content of an average bottle
is about two rounded teaspoonfuls.
Another means of indicating the
food value of any edible product
IL by means of the calory or heat
unit. The average bottle of carbo-
mated beverage contains 20 calories.
which compares very favorably
with the average helping Of many
fruits and vegetables. 1t will be
observed that in addition to sugar
they also often contain acids,
chiefly citric, which have a certain
therapeutic and hygienic value"
DIR. Jaffa terms the manufacture
Of bottled carbonated beverages a
great and growing industry and
declares its growth should be en-.
couraged in every way.
