When the survey was remade IN

confirming the Spanish grant the
pests and rocks set as corners by the

found and checked. Those cabbage
trees were sabal palm-the native
palms az the Lower Rio Grandc Val

localities over the grant and in abun-

near the river.
Cabbage trees and ebonies were
the native material with which these
S%paniards marked the beginning of
that long story Of development and
civilization which looking back from
today seems al color and romance.
Today the engineers are marking cor

Calories.

No list OF the caloric value Of foods
could be mathematically correct, be-
cause, for one reason. all the authori-
ties on diet differ as to the actual value
Of various amounts of foods. Also it is
impossible to be accurate when you say.
for instance. that a medium sized po-
tato is 100 calories. because no two
medium sized potatoes are ever exactly
alike. therefore the rourishing value
must be different All you can do Is to
keep as closely as possible TO what you
have worked out as your ration and
then allow for 100 calorieS error. Just
to be safe, make out food list you
think totals 100 less then it doesn't
matter whether YOU are wrong or not
