EXPERT Chosen
To CONDUCT THE
COOKING SCHOOL
MISS HARRIS TO Be HERE
Many Ladies' Have Already
Joined Cooking Glass

Through the agency of the ladies of
the Hospital Association the noted
culinary expert, Miss Harris, has been
engaged to conduct cooking school
here during the week commencing
November 90 Already more than two
dozen prominent housekeepers have
expressed their eagerness to join the
cooking class that will be conducted
that week.
The members Of the association are
anxious to know how many other
housekeepers in the city are willing
to take part in the work of aiding
the hospital fund by enrolling them
selves as members of the class in
cooking that is to be conducted here
during the latter part of the month.
The charges are very reasonable in
deed, so that every housekeeper in the
city may easily and economically take
advantage of the lessons.
The art of cooking is every day
receiving increased attention Life is
made all the brighter by satisfactory
cooking, and he is a dull philosopher
who despises a good dinner. The
pleasure of the table are enjoyed by
the average person more than a thou
sand times every year, and whoever
thoroughly realizes that fact will need
neither argument nor eloquence to be
come acquainted with the various
cooking processes.
Knowing that there should be a
wide demand among the housekeepers
of the city for trustworthy. scientific
and strictly up-to-date information Of
this kind, the ladies of the hospital as
ISOLATION have arranged for the cooking
school, with the assurance that it will
be literally patronized. Further an
nouncements concerning the lectures
and demonstrations to be given will be
published from time to time.

PLOW UP The COTTON;
PLANT FIELD IN GRAIN
Farmers Weary With Picking
Cheap Staple

Vidalia, Ga, Nov 11.-Discouraged
by the continuing low price of cotton,
and the exceptionally high price OF
pickers, quite number of planters of
Montgomery county have decided to
plow under their remaining crop of un-
picked cotton and plant oats in the
fields where it is now as white as
snow with the open staple.
Pickers have been receiving as high
as 81 to $1.25 for picking, and the low
prices make it impracticable to mark
ct the staple under this handicap. The
farmers who have decided to plow un-
der their cotton fields have gone abuot
it in a businesslike way and have ord
cred fertilizers from the local plants
to go under the oat crop.
Toombs county will make forty per
cent, more cotton this season than
last, and the surrounding counties
probably will produce in the same ra-
ito

HUNTERS KICK AGAINST
EXCESS BAGGAGE RULE.
They Don't Like to Pay Dog Fare.

Atlanta, Nov. 10.--Hunters in Geor-
gia are kicking strenuously against
the new rule put in operation by most
of the railroads in the state, forcing
them to check and pay excess bag
gage on their hunting dogs when car
ring them aboard train.
Formerly the hunters were per-
mitted to carry one dog each, and
paid no charges, simply putting the
dog in the baggage car.
The railroads quietly decided to
change the law, and the first hunter
who left Atlanta for South Georgia
this year raised a very strenuous OBJ
lection when he was compelled to pay
I$1.O0 to take his dog to Savannah.
None of the hunters knew anything
about the proposed change until it
was put into actual operation. The
minimum rate for one dog, for a
short distance, is 25 cents Under
this rate, however, dogs must not ex-
ceed S25 in value, and if anything hap
pens to the dog, the hunter can re-
cover no more than $25 damages no
matter what the circumstances.

EAT With FINGERS
L and BE HEALTHY
Doctors Declare Savage Traits
Avert Indigestion

London, Nov. 11.-Devour your food
like a lion"-and you Danish indiges-
ton. This advice, which controverts
the well known MAXIM of Eat your
food sloowly," is the considered opin-
ion of three doctors as the best cure
for inability to eat square meal.
Such an unorthodox mode of dealing
with dyspepsia was first suggested by
"a doctor in a spirit of frolic, but on
talking the matter over with Harley
Street specialist, and also with a fam
lily doctor with a large London prac-
tice, it was found that doctors scout
the suggestion that there is anything
funny in it all.
1T is the most extraordinary thing, "
the specialist said. but | find that the
patient who is allowed to eat chicken
by picking it up with his fingers is the
far better able to digest his food than
is the invalid who is worried by a
knife and fork.
"A great deal of decorous formality
in eating makes for bad digestion. Eat
with the fingers like a healthy savage,
and you will digest your food like the
savage-ot any rate for a time, until
the sovelty has worn off.
Probably after the novelty wears
off the good effect will not be so NAKED
but to return to dainty feeding would
then have the same effect as the other
method had.
The more like an animal you eat
the more like an animal will your ali
mentary system behave itself, and the
better it will be for your general
health
IF man takes his meat in his fin
gers he can pick it with more relish"
the other doctor said. children
whose instincts are often very sound,
love to eat their food held in their
fingers, and they are right"

PATIENT PAYS TRIBUTE
TO The LOCAL HOSPITAL
Mr.. Wilson Praises Excellent
Management

The Americus hospital has received
a splendid and well merited tribute
recently from one of the patients
who has been under treatment there.
The gentleman who has written The
Times-Recorder a letter in which he
praises the hospital highly, is Mr.. g..
H. Wilson, a travelling salesman, who
underwent an operation at the hos
pital October 9, having been confined
there ever since while convalescent.
Knowing something about hospitals
| take pleasure in saying that l
doubt if there is a better conducted
hospital in the United States. The
nurses are throughly competent, al
ways attentive to the patients and are
painstaking and careful. Every thing
is neat, clean and sanitary and sys-
temically managed. The price, fifteen
dollars per week, that l paid is very
reasonable. and | understand that
charity patients receive the same care
full treatment that is given patients
who pay.
1T appears to me thatiif the merits
of this institution were better known
there would be paid patients enough
to support it. 1t certainly is a fine
institution and ought to have large
and better building. Such an institu-
ton pays as a fine advertisement for
any city"

BY DRUNKEN negro PASSENGER
On SCabOard Train Saturday
Morning

ing about 10 O'Clock by William

hoard the SeabOard train due here at
1O:tO o'clock, Conductor Ii. Z. Hurley,
who was in charge of the train, now
lies seriously wounded at his residence
here, having been badly cut in the
back and thigh by his negro assa;lant,
while Young was shot once in the
neck by Conductor Hurley after the
latter had been cut. The negro was
arrested and is now in the local Jail.
The attack upon Conductor Hurley
by the negro came as the result of the
conductors having warned Young and
two of his companions, all of whom
were intoxicated, against the cOntinu-
ance OF their bOiSterOUS conduct on the
train. As Conductor Hurley returned
through the negro coach after collect
ing fares, an assault was made upon
him from the rear by Young. As soon
as he could draw his revolver, the
conductor shot Young, who fell for
ward as if fatally wounded. The bull
let however, merely grazed the back
OF the negrO'S neck inflicting only
slight wound.
Thinking that he had seriously
wounded his asSaiIant, Conductor Hur-
ley Immediately walked into the first
white passenger coach, where he in
buried if there was Il physician on
board the train, making known that he
had been badly cut. As soon as the
train reached the city his wounds were
dressed, and it was reported at the
hour of going to press that he was
resting easily. When the train reach
ed the city it seemed for time that
Young would be lynched, as num-
ber of the shop employees threatened
10 deal out hasty justice to him be-
'ore the officers took him in hand.

People Who Get on Our
Nerves

You know this type of person, and
the type has many varieties. There is
the loud person who talks at the pitch
of her voice There is the person who
is ever lastingly fussing with some
thing-either the accessories of her
costume, her hair. her fingers or the
nearest object she can shuttle about.
Then there is the person who talks TO
you in snappy short sentences jumps
ing from one thought to another with
out any respect for sequence of ideas
so that when she gets through with
you you are mentally tagged out and
nervously exhausted
Then. too, there is the nagging per-
son and the man who knows it all or
who has a half idiotic opinion 10 ex-
press upon everv subject that comes
up, and who is practically ignorant Of
the fundamentals of all. All of these
people finally get on your nerves so
that you feel like running every time
you see any of them coming.
In the main they are good clever
people-persons who would make good
companions were il not for their little
peculiarities. Some of them have low
able traits of character that are en-
|tirely obseured by their eccentricities.
There comes to mind dear girl of
other days who had many brilliant
qualities. who might have been social
favorite and beloved everywhere had it
not been for the fact that she had sew
eral little peculiarities which she took
pains to cultivate. The result was that
before she had finished high school she
had alienated herself from all but a
few friends who could delve below the
surface of her eccen -ricities and find
the true gold of a fine nature. And
even these few were sorely tried some
times.
And there are plenty OF girls today
doing the same thing. They discover
they have some little popularity and
set out to develop it. Soon it becomes
an obnoxious eccentricity which fastens
itself so tightly to them That it is
impossible to get rid of 1t except
through years of patient effort.
