Answer: Well, Mrs. O'Reilly, there Fascinating Beverage Facts As far back as 1850, in the U.S.A., carbonated waters were prescribed by doctors as a remedy for many stom- ach ailments. Two billion dollars worth of citrus fruit has been raised in California since 1894... which more than equals the value of all the gold produced in that state. Much of it has gone into bottled carbonated beverages. Banana soda, consisting of carbon- ated water mixed with the juice of bananas is a popular drink in Guate- mala.

If your coat is faded the material can be turned with a little trouble and a good deal of care.
