Eating From the Fingers.

II is sometimes hard to decide what
one may and what one may not eat
from the fingers.
Bread. first OF all. But It should
not be buttered in a broad fiat slice
and eaten bite by bite. A small piece
Of bread. preferably not more than
enough for a mouthful. should be
broken from the bread or biscuit, but
tered and transferred with the fingers
TO the mouth.
Then crackers, celery. olives, pickles
OF the small varieties. radishes and
bonbons are eaten from the fingers.
Many OF the dried fruits should be
eaten from the fingers.
Cake is eaten either with the fork
or Is broken and eaten like bread.
Corn on the cob may be eaten from
the fingers. 1t is with corn as with
oranges-one never feels quite at his
best eating either except in the privacy
Of his apartments.
Authorities are constantly warning
against eating chicken. game and like
foods from the fingers. Chicken is
eaten from the fingers. but 1t is inele-
CANT.

Al LTERATIONS MADE To
SUNDAY SCHOOL ROOM

Delaware Avenue Baptist Church can
now boast Of one, If not the finest and
most attractive Sunday school rooms in
the city. The room has been completely
altered and improved at a cost Of about
$780, The work is now completed and the
school will be reopened on Sunday, after
having been closed for nine weeks, while
the Improvements were being made. 1t is
expected ther will b full attendance of
both teachers and scholars on Sunday.
The first Sunday in October there viii
be a big rally in honor of the new Sun
day school room.
The work in the Sunday school room has
been done under the supervision of the
Rev. Alexander McGeorge pastor of the
church. All of the seats have been rear
ranged and a petition which formerly
stood in the rear of the room has been
taken down. The library which also was
in the rear of the Sunday school room has
also been removed to a small room in
the front Of the church which gives ad-
ditional space. In the middle Of the room
are large sliding doors which when closed
makes two entirely separate rooms.
The front room, which is the largest,
will be known as the class room and the
one in the back thep rayer and primary
room. In the large room the secretary has
a small office curtained off in one corner
and the treasurer in the opposite corner.
On the other side of the room are five
small private class rooms curtained off.
This room will seat 200 persons and the
one in the rear, so. All new carpets have
been put down. The room is finished in
IL. ...r q - i d. n
when the electric lights are on.
Those who did the work were Samuel
Newman, .carpentenng;. Parker e Co,
painting; Smith & Cos carpets and the
brass work came from Philadelphia.

The skins Of fruit should never be
eaten. not because they are not pala-

a larger amount of freight ton

to condemn land along the form

awful FATE
Of Vernon Esbert-Was Burned
to Death While in Jail at
Dawson Springs.
WAS UNDER INFLUENCE OF WHISKY

Vernon Egbert, a young man
who lived near Dalton this coun-
ty met an awful death at Daw-
son Springs Saturday night by
being burned to death while con-
fined In Jail for drunkenness.
1t seems the unfortunate
young man went to Dawson early
in the day and took several
drinks of whisky during the day
finally becoming so much intoxi-
Gated that it was necessary for
night Waterman Arch Lyon to
arrest him and place him in the
city lock up. He was carried to
the Jail and placed in bed by the
officers who made a fire In the
stove and as the night was cold
left his cell door open so that he
could get near the fire and keep
comfortable during the night. 1t
is stated that the night watch
man went to the Jail several
times during the night and re-
plenished the fire and on his last
visit he made a good fire that
would last until morning. On
going to the Jail the next morn
ing he was Mortified to find the
CHARGED and blackened remains
of the unfortunate young man
who had in some manner fallen
