September 4, 2013: I don’t know of any person who would need extra encouragement to celebrate Eat an Extra Dessert Day.  Even if it’s just two cookies instead of one, it’s double the carbtacular delight.  Especially a poor kid celebrating Newspaper Carrier Day, named in honor of Barney Flaherty, the first newsboy ever hired (way back in 1833).  In fact, this double-holiday is probably the reason that the classic newsboys of olde were always yelling, “Extra! Extra!”
