The ancestry of the celebrated blue-
stemmed collard may bo traced direct
ly to a remote period of American
antiquity, and in vegetable genealogy,
it is not even surpassed by the Indian
corn.
The cabbage Is simply a cultivated
form of tho collard, and In develop
ment has lost many of the glorious
qualities of the latter.
In the ponderous pages of Gibbon,
the historian, we find that soon after
the Emperor Diocletian had abdictated
the throne of Rome,
He was solicited to reassume the
reins of government and the im
perial purple. He rejected the
temptation with a smile of pity,
declaring that if he could show
the cabbages which he had raised
with his own hands he should
no longer be urged to relinquish
tho enjoyment of happiness for the
pursuit of power.
There are records that George
Washington,.Thomas Jefferson, and
Patrick Henry all enjoyed “a mess of
greens" and all readers of history are
familiar with the fact that Daniel
Webster, In one of his grandest peo
rations made the halls of the august
Senate resound with fervent eloquence
when he apostrophized the collard
with “Hail, mighty esculent!
Whittier even burst into song with
one of his finest lines when, during
an inspired moment, his thoughts re
verted to this queen of October gar
dens.

m their barrack rations, meat was
somewhat of a luxury to the Scots

British armies. It may be pointed

Russians.
At any rate, many have found that

Maybe the reason the European war

that day on the war was the same

A girl who applied for a Job as
nurse said that she had nad no pre
vious experience with children because
she had always worked for "the very j
best families." You think that's a
joke, but it Isn't.

This economy in food practice, to-

The English government !. collect- ereoarlna menus
lag all the horse chestnuts and will
use them against tbe Germans. This
ought to win tbe war. If horse cheat-
nuts, liberally served, won't kill the
Ormans, nothing will.
The fact that another train has been
held up suggests that that Is thc only
way some men can get enough money
to pay for those new fall coatsults,
hats and shoes their wives and
daughters are buying.

has set the people to preparing menus
which consist as much ub possible of
vegetables, fruits and cereals. At the
same time it arouse, the old, old con
troversy over meat eating. But there
!. nothing new in the entire argument.
Some people have always eaten meat.
Others, from .the time of Nebuchadnez

soils.
But many concur with Augustine:
He that catctb, let him not de

him not. Judge him that eateth.

Latin axiom, that de eustlbus nun eat

Louisiana is the cniy state In the
union where there is no statutory
law designating certain days as holi
days. However, by common consent,
the Fourth of July, Chrstmas and

Many ot tho states have holiday
and anniversaries of peculiar state
significance. Among these are May
20, In North Carolina, the anniversary
ot the aiming of tho Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence; August
16, Vermont, Bennington Battle Day;
April 21, in Texas, anniversary of the
bottle of San Jacinto; February 21
in Alabama and Florida, Mardi Gras
Day. Some states observe Lee's birth
day, and some Lincoln’s. In Alabama
there Is a legal holiday on April 3,
Thomas Jefferson’s birthday.
The legal holidays named In the
code of thc state of Georgia are:
New Year's Day. the first of January;
January 19, Lee'a birthday; February
