MISTAKE TO FORCE CHILDREN T0 EAT

B! ANGELO PATH!

Anxious mothers sometimes make the mistake of forcing food upon children. That does no good, Healthy children are hungry at mealtime and eat with a will. The hungry child needs no coaxing to eat. His problem is to get enough.

Forcing food on a child may re- sult in the very thing the anion! parent tea-rs, loss of appetite. loss of weight, illness.

Regularity of mealtime goes a good way toward training cnlloren to eat well. Three meals a day, fo.'.r if necessary, at set times. by the clock, will train a. child's body to expect food at those times and to regulate itself accordingly.

Simple meals are best. When a child's appetite falls say nothing. If he does not eat at the next mealtime, look at his tongue. take his temperature and if things look bad call the doctor.

NO ANXIETY

forget about that clean plate notion, Show no anxiety about the child's eating lest, you set him a habit: of picking at his food to win attention. Give no food be- tween meals and serve meal: on time.

Most important. make mealtime a happy time for everybody at the table. N0 scolding, no tale-tell- lng, no correcting, fault-finding and the like. A cheerful haopy group at they tabla will eat tile simplest food and enjoy it.

III! DESCRIPTION

A countryman who had just ai- ri-ved home from his first visit to London was describing some of the things he had seen.

“It's a busy place. is Inndan, and full of big buildings. Ono day I walked down the strand and Fleet Street Then I came to a narrow road up hill, and at top of hill was a great building with a dome. ard a gold cross on top. It looked cham- ﬂon with the sun sham’ down on it. ! don't know who the place belong: to—but the owner keeps pigeons."

+++o+vo0++4 owwoooomve» By ARTHUR NETTLETON

According to old tradition. Christ- mas is ghost-time, the season when wraiths as well as mortals make merry. The reason for this belief is somewhat obscure, but if King Georse wishes to have a Yuletide "$911011 1111M" he need venture no further than some of the royal re- sidences in Great Britain.

The royal palaces, indeed, are said to have a whole army of spcctres. Moreover. the list lacks nothing in variety. The ghosts in- iciude those of many historic fig- urcs.

Rivals for the record number o! wralt-hs are Windsor Castle and Hampton Court’ Palace, the re- spiendent residence which Henry the Eighth took from Cardinal Wolsey, and which l; still number- ed among Britain's loyal homes. By royal consent, many of the apartments in Hampton Oourt to- day are tenanied by royal pension- ers. but it served as a home for British royalty during p, down

re .

Unofficial residents nowdayn are stated to include so many ghosts that the Office of Works, the Gov- ernment. Department responsible for maintaining the place, disclaims 1111 responsibility in that direction. An affirmation, still preserved in Government archives. declares that “the jurisdiction of the First‘ Com- missioner dcea not extend to the spirit world."

The most famous of the wraiths is that of Katherine Howard, fifth wife oi’ Henry the Eighth. He!‘ spectral fonn, dishevelled and ter- ror-atricken, H1Sh03 screaming through the Haunted Gallery each Fdbruarv 12lh~ the anniversary of her execution M0 years ago.

The outcome was an official Ln- q/UIIY. but the most detailed investi- gation failed to produce any ex’ Dlﬂnﬂt-loil other than that the figures were wralths. The affair was fully reported in thc newspapers at. the time, and it enhanced the reputation of Hampton Oourt as “the most haunted home in Eng; land."

Windmrs most famous spectre is "'I‘he Lady in Blacll". She has been ‘seen many times in various parts of the Castle. both indoors and in the grounds, and there arc detailed descriptions of her dress and features. Yet, oddly. her ident- lty has never been definitely est- ablished. The belief most widely held l; that the phantom is none other thsnghat of Queen Eliza- beth. ‘

Compared with same other royal residences Ln Great Britain, Marl- borough I-fouse, Queen Mary's Lon- don mansion. is quite a modern building being less than 250 years old. But in that. period it has nevertheless acquired a, goodly company of apparitiona.

Charles the Second and Nell Gwynne are among them, for at one time Nell lived in a house quite close to the site of the Pfe- sent Marlborough House. It is thought that she and Charles sometimes walked in the neigh- borhood of the mansion now exist- ing; the land on which it stands was formerly ground attached to St. James Palace. So the Marl- borough House gardens are one place where King George might go today if he wishes to meet the wraitha of earlier royalty.

The other alleged ghostly occup- ants o1 Queen Mary's home are the wraiths of. Lord Mohun. a hot- temporwd scion of the 18th century
