QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

the carbohydrate contained in the
following: grapefruit, lemon, lime.
Also advise can grapefruit be eaten

Answer: Grapefruit is five per
cent carbohydrate, lemon is ten per
cent. Curiously enough, I cannot
find in any authority that lines

is good food for a diabetic, always
assuming that he calculates the car

Mr.. Pitman showed that the fund

it was $1O,197 517o5, an increase of

eventual union with our nation has
been given the actual first president
of Texas-David Gouverneur Burnet,
who was born $50 years ago today in
Newark, New Jersey.
At 70. Burnet ran away from coll
lege with a filibustering exception
which attempted to wrest Venezue-
Ian rule away from Spain. The expe-
clifton failed because of the interior
ence of Britain, which sought to use
a whip in South American affairs
then. Back in this country again,
Burnet tried to establish himself in
business first in Cincinnati, then in
Louisiana, but acquired no fortune
until he married one and settled, for
health"s sake, in Texas.
Seven years later, when Texas re-
volted, Burnet's popularity and poll
tical craftiness caused him to be
elected first president of the republic.
