Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-06-16

Though radish seems nutritious,
It's behavior is quite vicious,
And a doctor will be cominf to your
home.
Eating lobster cooked or plain
Is only flirting with ptomaine.
While an oyster sometimes has lot
to say,
But the CLAIMS we eat in chowder
Make the angels chant the louder,
For they know that Wen he with
them right away.
Take slice of nice fried onion
And you're fit for DR.. Munyon;
Apple dumplings kill you quicker
than a train.
Chew a cheesy midnight rabbit
And a grave you'll soon inhabit-
All. to eat at all is such foolish
game.
Eating huckleberry pie
Is a pleasing way 70 die.
While sauerkraut brings on softening
Of the brain.
When you eat banana fritters
Every undertaken filters,
And the casket makers nearly go IN
sane.
Some little bug is going to find you
some day,
Some little bug Will creep behind you
some day;
With a nervous little CULVER
He'll give cirrhosis of the liver:
Some little bug is going to find you
some day.
When cold storage vaults I visit
can only say what Is IL
Makes poor mortals fill their systems
with such stuff?
Now, for breakfast. prunes are dandy
If a stomach pump is handy.
And your doctor can be found quite
soon enough.
Eat plate of fine pigs knuckIes
And the headstone cutter chucllss.
While the gravedigger makes note
upon his cuff.
East that lovely red bologna.
And you'll wear a wooden kimono.
As your relatives start scrapping
bout your stuff
Some little hug is going TO find you
Some little hug will creep behind you
some day:
Eating iuicy sliced pineapple
Makes the sexton lust the chanel;
Some little hug is going to find you
some dav.
All these crazy foods they mix
VIII float us cross the River Styx,
or they'll start us climbing up the
milky way;
And the meals we eat in courses
Mean a hearse and two black horses,
So before a meal some people always
pray.
Lucious grapes breed 'pendicitis,
And the Juice leads to gastritis.
So there's only death to greet us eth
err wav:
And fried Iiver's nice. but mind YOU
Friends will soon ride slow behind you.
And the pauers then will have nice
things to say
Some little bug is going to find you
some day,
Some little bug will creep behind you
some day;
Eat some sauce, they call il chilli.
On your breast they'll place it chill,
Some little bug is going to find you
same day.
GRAPEFRUIT.
I was totally unacquainted with Flor
Ida grapefruit until few years ago.
and I had to educate myself to eating
Il for a little while, but now L find it
almost necessary to my breakfast, and
very appetizing at later meals in the
day.
If could put back some years Of my
life I would never rest until I owned a
small grapefruit farm in Florida, so
necessary have they become to my appe-
tite, and I would have the choice seed
less kind, and they should be hipped to
me regularly as long as they were good
and in season.
The Florida fruit growers must have
been well repaid for their grapefruit
crop in the year 1886. The demand
has been great and the supply abundant.
The year previous-the hard time when
cotton went down so low-the fruit men
in Florida told me the crop was large
hat rarip 1nvu a
for the picking and shipping
I am satisfied the season just ended
has been vastly better as to price, and
the quantity very satisfactory
And the grapefruit trees are hand
some and useful even as shade trees
where they grow. st. Petersburg, Fla,
has thousands of them on the streets of
the outlying sections and, with the
beautiful fruit hanging from the limbs,
nothing can be more attractive.
THANKS TO MANY FRIENDS.
When my birthday dawned and l had
arisen from my bed, the kilograms and
phone messages came. in with a rush
Later in the day the letters and birth
day cards rolled in with the postman's
call. with frequent kilograms.
All this was delightful to me on my
eighty-first birthday.
I here return my thanks to the Semi
Weekly readers who will see this issue,
and who graciously remembered me.
May the dear Lord be with you and I
throughout life's journey and help us to
help each other and to be grateful for
His blessings.
