REGULATION OF CARNIvALs

What has happened has happened and
annot be helped, but certainly from the
experiences Of the past two weeks the
Valley may learn its lesson-a lesson by
the way-that applies equally to all cities
the country over.
Carnivals come and carnivals go.
Nobody really seems to want them to
come to town, but there appears 10 eff
fective way Of keeping them out.
But one thing we can do, and that is to
so regulate the operations of the carnivals
that do come to us that protection is af-
forded our citizens who p~atronize them.
One death. many serious injuries. have
followed in the wake of two carnivals
showing in two Valley cities recently.
Certainly our cities have the right to in
sist on a rigid inspection Of the machinery
and apparatus TO which customers of the
show ehtrast their lives. The same acct
dents that happened in Harlingen and
Weslaco could Just as well have happen
ed in Brownsville or Mission or Mercedes
or any other Valley city. And similar &C
cidents will happen if we do not tighten
up on rules and regulations under which
tiCSt olioNs bptldIt.
And along another line it appears to
The Brownsville Herald that protection
might be offered our people-and that is
in the more stringent regulation of the
games of chance which form a great por-
ton of the appeal these shows have.
No prudish attitude would we take.
Ring the cane and get your cigar or
bottle Of perfume and all that sort Of
thing.
We would not advocate the elimination
of this sort of harmless amusement.
But we would most emphatically ask
that the proper officials take the proper
action against games of chance in which
the customer has no chance such as char
actcrizcd the operations Of a carnival re-
Gently showing in this section.
The old pea on shell game and that sort
Of thing is bad enough when operated
honestly. the customer has little chance at
best. But when it is operated in the hands
of experts whose conscience has been lost
in the shuttle, il is worse than criminal.
Let's crack down on these carnivals be-
fore other accidents occur, before more
people are trimmed Of hard earned cash.

You Cut Down Weight
By Reducing Galleries

Sitting quietly and III your chair doing nothing
YOU use up about 100 calOries an hour. This IS about
the amount Of energy that YOU get from an ounce
OF sugar or starch or less than half an ounce OF
fat.
The moment you begin work, you use up more en-
ergy, but comparatively not so much more, so that it
does not require a great deal Of food to cause an
excess in body weight.
We get our Galleries from food. A cup Of clear. hot
coffee will furnish through It's high temperature
about 10 calories to the body. The addition Of two
tablespoons Of thick cream and ono lump o. sugar
Will raise the value Of that cup OF coffee 70 about
sd Galleries.
For this reason iced coffee. which is frequently
drunk in larger quantities and with more cream and
sugar. is likely to be more heating and fattening
than plain, hot coffee.
Most everybody now knows that greens constitute
a good reducing food chiefly because they provide
bulk and food value without many calories.
"A large serving Of lettuce with a little vinegar and
with grated cheese 10 the amount Of about a one
inch cube, will not exceed 100 Galleries. The moment
oil is put on this lettuce the calory value Of the
salad leaps tremendously.
The way to reduce is to find out through study
how many calories YOU spend 2 day and then to eat
500 Galleries a DAY less than you spend. This will re-
duce your weight about one pound a week.
II YOU find that your weight Is not being reduced
following the reduction OF Galleries, YOU might take
off 2 few more calores, but the elimination OF the
foods should be from the sugars and luxury foods
and not from milk. fruit and fresh vegetables which
are important for mineral and vitamin values.
As We get older our body weight tends to decrease
At the same time actions that 20 in our bodies be-
come slower and the amount Of energy used up be-
comes less. For this reason older people require much
less food than do the young.
Eighteen hundred calorics 2 day should cover the
energy requirements Of most men Of 70. and 1900 a
day the energy requirements or men OF 60 This is
about the same energy requirement that is needed b.
a child around six years Of age.
Children need more Caiories IN proportion TO their
body weight. because they require food not only for
the energy needs Of the body but also for growth.
