• PERVERTING OUR APPETITES
, _ At this time of the year when turnip croons, sweet potatoes
and other, fall vegetables arc gracing the tables of ihose who
have, not .gotten too fastidious for these wholesome articles of
diet, it is interesting to note Hint the doctors assembled at a big
medical convention in Chattanooga arc told that Americans are
ppnishing their stomachs and endangering their health by their
tendency to drift uwny from the substantiate and feast too much
on-higbly Masoned, toothsome, though non-nutritious foods.
' it. ’Dr.’ Seale 'Harris was the authority who sounded the warn
ing that we arc, perverting our appetites and giving way to the
temptation of wealth and prosperity to the neglect of those sub
stantial 'articles of diet that the system needs.
; Dr.-Harris recommended a return to Jeffersonian simplicity
in articles of food, in order to rescue Americans from physical
* (generation; But whr.t will the pampered young people of this
day «nd generation say 'to the suggestion of a meal of turnip
gtethsi'nog jowl, pot .liquor and corn bread? The present Young
' 'can rniqht turn up their noses at it, but that would not
ttat.'it was the less wholesome and nutritious. In urging
rricdlcal men to recommend turnip greens and pot liquor a*
wholesome food, Dr. Hams is treading in the footsteps of otchTs
wbo have, long since recognized their value.
'3 A long time.ago we have heard the'old folks say that a per
son never would need medicine if he ate a plenty of turnip
tfeens; At Madison, Ga., there were three lovely old Indies,
handsome, smart, imd splendid housekeepers. During the War Be
tween’ the States, one of them took sick and her life was despair
ed -'of. While the other two were watching at her Itedside, ami
thinking that she was oblivious to what was going on, they be
gan to‘/talk about what they were going to do when the war
t , ajiouUlcomq'to a close.
bOtie said‘she was going to a nearby city and get n bottle of
Hedeirn-wlrtc and make some tip. y squire. That tipsy squire wns
6er. favorite drink ami she had not hnd uny in a long time. The
other s^id she-thought she would ask in all the stares if they had
. any.Hraisins and almonds; that she had not been, able to obtain
■ - JengJimc and she longed to have n big fruit cake.
lut this juncture, much to the astonishment and delight
watchers; the one that was almost sick unto death began
itafo: "Eh—oh-^ch me for Jiog jowl and turnip greens.”
ay-knew that she would get well. She did get well and
jr nia'ny years'afterward. Dr. Harris can get ample testi
mony among the, older generation in Middle Georgia in regard to
EAMtSwM?* 1 - properties of turnip grot ns.
