The former view is not confined to
papers generally regarded as having

A TIMELY QUESTION NOW.

This economy in food practice, to-
gether with the high prices of meats
has set the people to preparing menus
which consist as much as possible OF
vegetables, fruits and cereals. At the
same time it arouses 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-
Ear, have preferred the product of the
soils.
But many concur with Augustine:
He that eateth, let him not de-
splse him that eateth not; and let
him not, judge him that eateth.
In other words, be governed by the

HOLIDAYS.
lican tickel

We see it mentioned that the move
ment to make October IL, Columbus
Day" national holiday, is meeting
with general favor
This reminds us that the expression,
national holiday is often heard,
but there is really no such thing. In
dependence Day, the Fourth Of July,
is not even a national holiday in the
sense that it is prescribed by the act
of Congress. However, it is observed
by all the states and territories.
Last year there was an effort made
to have Congress declare October IL
national holiday in memory of
Christopher Columbus, but the bill re-
ceived scant consideration. This year
il has been overlooked n the press
of weightier matters.
In the second session of the fifty
third Congress it passed an act max
ing Labor Day public holiday in
the District of Columbia, and it has
recognized the existence of certain
days as holiday for commercial pur-
poses, but, with the exception named,
there is no general statute on the sub
iect
| Louisiana is the only state in the
union where there is no statutory
law designating certain days as holt
days However, by common consent,
the Fourth of July, Christmas and
Thanksgiving are observed
Many of the states have holidays
and anniversaries of peculiar state
significance. Among these are Nav
20, in North Carolina, the anniversary
of the signing of the Mecklenburg
Declaration of independence; August
16, Vermont, Bennington Battle DAY,
| April 81, in Texas, anniversary of the
battle of San Jacinto; February "a.
IN Alabama and Florida, Mardi Gras
Day. Some states observe Lees birth
day, and some Lincoln's. In Alabama
there is legal holiday on April 8,
Thomas Jefferson's birthday.
The legal holidays named in the
code of the state of Georgia are
New Years Day, the first of January;
January 10, Lees birthday; February
b. Washington's birthday; July A. In
dependence Day; first Monday in Sep
TENDER, Labor Day; day in Novem
Der for Thanksgiving Day; December
%, Christmas Day.
AS matter of fact, we have too
many holidays, and business would be !
better served if there were less of
them. /.

~ MESS OF GREENS"

panegyric from the Recorder
on the blue-stemmed collard!
But the inspiration is lacking, this
most regal of all fall garden products
not yet being ripe for the table.
Not until frost falls and sweetens
the leaves of this delightful plant will
it be entirely ready for plucking. 1t
is like the persimmon in that it must
be kissed by frost before it attains
perfection. OF course, there are some
who eat it ahead of time, but they
are not persons with appreciatiye
pa1ates.
The ancestry of the celebrated blue
stemmed collard may be traced direct
" 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 the eollard 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 i'm
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
the 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-
Gus luxury as the aroma from the
kitchen, while the dinner is on the
stove, is waited through the house
and brings to the senses a dream of
the fragrance of the rose of Sharon
and of the spicy gales from Araby
the blest
Take substantial piece of country
ham and let it boil about thirty min
utes, the while its savory odor excites
every gustatory nerve Then peel
the leaves from the stem of the col
lard, rinse the mwell, an pdut them
in the pot, plentifully sailed and pep
pered, anu leave them alone in their
glory for two to three hours. In the
meantime have husky pone of crack
liz bread in the making. When this
combination is served, it's dish fit
for the king and all his cabinet.
We heartily agree with the Midtown
Advocate trat one of the chief glories
of fall is the advent of the delicious
hlue-stemmed collard!
