I me.m that we had better be wary of sausages, mince pieces, veal loaf, and al! prepara tions made of many thing* put to gether. Plain food—there is no ar gument against it. If it is not such u stimulant for the appetite, ail the better. The great American crime is eatiug too much. A sweet potato has its right* same as folks; to ovcr-charg- it with grease and sugar, robs it of its indi viduality. A baked sweet potato is healthful—and, a little butter is all it needs. Fruits that are treated to the proeete of preserving are de stroyed by the addition of ninety per cent of sugar—as fruits their virtue is destroyed. Jellies are commend able, being pure juices of fruits they represent. Meats have no business to be hashed, loafed, or sausaged. Bet ter far to partake of them plain and j well-done I Cake has mighty nearly reached the stage of abomination; what with j its stripes of coloring, sweetening and couting—it becomes well nigh a gas- | tronomic crime to eat it. Wish I had space to go on. Plain foods I lengthen life, taken temperately. With the approach of Christmas and the New Year, the Central of Georgia extend* the season’s greetings to it* friends and patrons. The management is not only grateful for the patronage it has received but for the good will and co-operative spirit evidenced by the shipping and traveling public during the year about to close. Despite declining freight and passenger receipts, the co-operation o fthe public and the loyal and sustained efforts its employes have enabled the management to keep the railroad’s service at a high standard of efficiency. The year 1928 has been one of recession in most lines of business activity, and this has been felt in the South as well as in every other part of our country. Some of this recession has been due to the feeling of uncertainty that invariably accompanies a rational election, but it is encouraging that the disturbance of the economic structure has been less than in other presidential election years. With election issues settled, the Central of Georgia believes that this country will have a continu ance of prosperous conditions. It believes that this will be particularly true of the South. The steady increase in the number of industrial plants seeking southern locations bears striking witness to the high value which manufacturers and capitalists of other sections place upon our abundant natural advantages. Lessened activity in trade and commerce during 1928 is reflected in decreases in both the freight and passenger traffic of the Central of Georgia. While decreased earnings necessitated readjust ments of railroad service and the exercise of every possible economy, there was no sacrifice of efficiency. The standard of service was kept as high as in former years when receipt* were greater and this maintenance of the quality of service was the most striking feature of railroad operation during the year. I.t its necessary readjustment and economy program, the Central of Georgia has had the co operation of the public and the loyal support of its employes. The public has in general accepted the abandonment of unprofitable and little used passenger trains as being to the best interest of both the ruilroads and their patrons, while other economy measures have met an equally fair reception. The Central of Georgia pledges itself to keep i U service at the highest possible standard of efficiency, not only in 1928 but in other years to come. It believes that these years will bring permanent and enduring prosperity to Georgia, Al >bama and other states of the Southeast, since all conditions favor progress and development along bath industrial and agricultural lines. In that de velopment and progress the railroads can play an important part. Recognizing their obligation to furnish good service, the employes and officers of the Central of Georgia in a spirit of both confi dence .and optimism extend holiday greetings to th eir company’s friends and ypatrons.
