If more girls confessed during courtship to having cold feet there would be fewer marriages. A woman will buy anything she doesn't want provided she thinks it U something the other woman wants. Over In the Fourth district every other man is under suspicion ot being a present or possible candidate for Congress. Well, all right, lust suppose now that wife paid the bills, and husband should buy a pair of shoes fqr twen ty-two dollars, what do you think she'd say! Perhaps tho reason why the corres pondents in Flanders wired there would be no news tor several days wa K that they organized a fishing party down the river somewheres. 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. We can conceive of nothing more enjoyable than to sit back in languor ous luxury as the aroma from the kitchen, while the dinner is on the stove, is wafted through the bouse flesh and too little bread.' ery on a hundred stubbornly contested fields. Then again, until they got it m their barrack rations, meat was somewhat of a luxury to the Scots and Irish, who largely comprise the British armies. It may be pointed cut also that the rice nourished Japs licked the stars out of the meat fed Russians. At any rate, many have found that If they can’t do without meat alto gether they can get along very well on a great deal less of it, and on less of everything else, for that matter It’s hard on the butchers and grocers, bnt It easier on the nurse. t'hicken.Ssrratcbed.

Maybe the reason the European war correspondents wired their 'papers yesterday to look for no news for that day on the war was the same reason the great New York editor had in a reply to a waggish inquirer, knowing Mr. Dana's horror for the use of the word "news” in the plural, one friend telegraphed him one night, 'Are there any nows?” And in re ply he flashed back "Narry new.’’— Athens Banner.

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 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. When we see a man hanging arsuid In front of a dry ftoda atore for .wo hours, first on one foot, then on the other, while bis wife la Inside buying n spcfl of thread and two yards of •I’o'icn, we know that he ,ia -Ivi.ig tb-.- greatest deu-ontration of bfs d.' voticn. 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 zar, have preferred the product of tho soils. But many concur with Augustine: He that catctb, let him not de spise him that eateth not; and let him not. Judge him that eateth. in other words, be governed by the Latin axiom, that de eustlbus nun eat dlsputandum.

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 Thanksgiving arc observed. 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 22, Washington’s birthday; July 4.
