CARBONATED DRINKS Since Priestley discovered over 150 years ago that carbonic apid gas was « soluble in water and used it for the 1 purpose of charging beverages, "Pop” has become a favorite drink. It was Physick, a Philadelphia physician, who popularized the use of carbon­ ated beverages. He induced his drug­ gist to usjfe fruit juices as a flavour­ ing agent and the pop industry has become an enormous one particularly in America. It is very profitable for about 90 per cent, of the drink is wat­ er which is carbonated by the instila- tion of carbon dioxide under pressure. The gas so used is harmless; it ap­ pears as bubbles rising to the surface. It is not only not injurious but useful for it helps to maintain the necessary carbon in the blood without which there would be over-rapid and over­ deep breathing and a resultant spas­ modic cramping of muscles. Carbonated drinks make persons, most of whom use too little water, consume the necessary liquid. While air is the most important substance taken into the body, water stands sec­ ond in importance. Man can live 40 days without food, but he will die if he is deprived of water for 4 days. The losses of the body Of water are very great.- These losses take place by way of the lungs, the skin and the kid­ neys. Water is absolutely necessary for all the chemical reactions of the, body. It helps to regulate the body temperature and functions; nothing1 will replace it, I No one can say just how much wat­ er one should drink. That depends oh | the outside temperature, the sort of1 work one docs and whether the occu-1 pation is carried oh outdoors or in-| side a building. Sufficient fluid should be taken at meals of between meals 1 to satisfy the thirst ’ 1 Most of the Soft drinks contain about 10 per cent of sugar in the form of glucose. Dry ginger ale con­ tains less than this amount. Some brands of Pop contain a small amount of caffiene* say 2 grains to the pint Since this is much less than the am­ ount consumed in two Urge cups of coffee* it will be seen that the dose is not too large. Caffiene in small doses is a mild stimulant The preparation of Pop on a large scale is carried on in a perfectly sani­ tary manner, There is’ no need for If you love fine silk stockings you will be interested in this sale of lovely 3-thread, 54 gauge hose, silk to top, and with all silk foot.
