II HAD PREVIOUSLY had the
flu five times. with rather serious
aftermath, not recovering for a
long time: but in this case. In a
week felt as good as before taking
the flu.

Afruit, Mrs. Emil Blanck for her
recipe, and your good paper for
publishing it.
I'VE are giving several flue pa

All of which is a wonderful ex-
position OF the value Of grapefruit
juices in the treatment of at least
one Of the ills to which humans are
subject.
1t Is a pleasant treatment. but
those who take the flu. or believe
they are about to take il, first
should see their physician. 1t is
never safe to attempt to treat any
disease without expert advice.
SAN BENITO is interested in the
establishment OF a golf course.
Tavern A. Miller. a newcomer to
San Benito, has posted a bond of
s25.000 to assure the building of
the course.
II will be located within quick
driving distance of San Benito, and
will be known as the Valley Golf
Club.
When completed. which II is ex-
pected will be done in ninety days,
1t will give the Valley its fifth golf
course. with Harlingen also plan
ming on one. to be the sixth.
A dozen or more courses in the
Valley will be none too many. Visit
tors will be here a-plenty 70 use
them all.
Golf is an established institution
IN the United States. If the VAL
ley has a number of courses. all OF
them good, 1t will establish itself
more firmly as winter tourist re-
6ort-and summer, too.
THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS
is agitating the city manager form
of government for Dallas.
Believes that the old commission
form already has run its course,
and that modern city operation
should be carried on under expert
management.
The News evidently has been OBJ
ser u how the city manager form
hasvEh operating in Fort Worth,
Dayton, Austin and other cities.
There may be some defects in the
city manager form Of government,
Abut IL the population of any city
"a "up to it." that method should
prove successful
In this day of 'chain" manage
ment. 1t is perhaps not stretching
things too much TO predict small
cities cooperating in the employ
ment of city managers.
Say, for example. group Of two
or three small cities near each
other decide to combine in the en-
ployment of an expert. dividing his
salary among them. One city
might not have enough to justify
the employment of a manager at
full time; but several small cities
could among them provide a salary
sufficient to attract the expert.
And wouldn't every taxpayer have
a good time tearing down the
structure?

now being paved?'
Who knows?
The city. no doubt. figured that
ground near a pavement is the
right place for a dumping ground.
OF course. motorists and others
don't think much about it, but
