Of the four represented by villages
at the fair, Europe has the greatest number, A
visit to the English village is more than a trip
across the Atlantic
It means also a journey back into the past—to
that Merrie England of the Sixteenth century
made glamorous by the writings of several im-
mortals who lived then, For over here is the
cottage of Ann Hathaway, to which more than
once across the fields of Stratford-on-Avon came
her sweetheart, young Will Shakespeare, as yet
unconscious of the fame that was to be his
There is a replica of Haddon Hall, home of the
lovely Dorothy Vernon, whose tempestuous career
was rescued from the obscurity of history in the
pages of Charles Major's “When Knighthood
Was in Flower.” And not far away is the replica
of Stoke Pogis church where Gray wrote his
“Elegy in a Country Churchyard,” and another
f Sulgrave Manor, ancestral home of the Wash-
ingtons.
To leave England and go to Ireland does not
involve a trip across the stormy Irish sea, In-
stead a minute's walk up the Midway takes the
“tourist” back to the “ould sod"-—a village of
more than a score of bulldings ranging from the
simplest thatched cottage to a replica of Tara's
hall, famed in song and story as the meeting
place of the ancient Irish Kings, clergymen,
princesses and bards,
Walk across the street from this historic pal-
ace (Watch out! That jaunting car just barely
missed you!) and you'll find yourself in Dinty
Moore's Pub, one of the most famous bars of
Dublin, with its sawdust covered floor and rough
wooden benches, As you drink a toast to the
spirit of the Emerald Isle there drifts in through
the windows the sounds of music and you hurry
out to join the throng gathering In the village
green where a group of Jolly Irish lads and col-
leens are dancing jigs and reels to the accom-
paniment of bagpipe and barp.
Or if you're a serious-minded “tourist” and
haven't time to waste on watching such frivoll-
ties, over there is a group of weavers demon-
strating the manufacture of Irish linen, poplin
and lace, and In another piace you can try to
decipher the Latin text of the Book of Kells, the
flluminated copy of the Gospel, said to be the
finest example of early Christian art of its kind,
and containing also local Irish records dating
back to the Eighth century,

along the cobbled street In her wooden shoes,
swinging a pall on her arm. "I'm going a-milk-

Burns and Scalds
HEN we think of all the people |
who have died following severe |
burns and know that now we are in
possession of a form of treatment
which prevents this terrible loss of
life, we are indeed grateful {
You will remember that previous to
1928, from 15 to 40 per cent of those
with severe burns died, whereas, now
the death rate is about 4 per cenL
This is due to the treatment of burns
by tannle acid.
Dr. P. H. Mitchener, London, tells
us that during the period from 1929 to
the present time, when tannic acld
compresses have been used as the rou-
tine outpatient treatment for all burns
and scalds, no deaths have occurred
among the slighter cases, which aver-

one-third are children under ten years

is just here that some

which increase or decrease the feeling
of hunger naturally increase or de- |
crease the appetite, Therefore, meth-
ods should be used that will help to
empty the stomach In a short time so
that the your ngster will be hungry by |
meal time. i
This means that too much food should
pot be eaten at one time, and foods
that remain too long ip the stomach |
should not be used. Thus, foods rich
in fat, pass out of the stomach slowly.
All fried foods and nuts remain a
jong time in the stomach and should |
therefore be avoided where an appe- |
tite needs development. i
Milk aiso, although a fluid, is one |
of the foods most slowly to be passed
out of the stomach. Thus the mid- |
morning glass of milk which is so help- |
ful in building up most children may |
therefore be a bad thing for a child |
with a poor appetite. i
Large amounts of sweets and
starchy foods tend to destroy the ap- |

meat extracts stimulate the appetite

The meals should be spread as far |
apart as possible. The way the first |
attack of loss of appetite is treated is |
most important, if further attacks are
to be prevented. On the first attack
of refusal of food, the amount should
be reduced instead of increased, to al
low the child to develop hunger, as
hunger stimulates appetite,
The whole thought then is not to
try to force food into the youngster,
but to try to develop a natural appe-
tite.
