AT DEATHS DOOR.

Mr. Webb, the other day, regarding
the great trouble his stomach had
given him. He said he suffered !

deaths door a number OF times from
acute indigestion and bloating OF
gas, which seemed TO shut OFT his

If YOU ARE HUNGRY
YOU'LL FIND IRELAND
FINE PLACE TO DINE

London, Sept. 23,-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press -
Although only a three-hour trip
separates England and Ireland there
is as much difference as between
day and night in the two islands as
far as food is concerned.
For the person who has lived III
England for time and whose hab-
its have led him to believe his sys-
TEN needs more than the number Of
food caoreS science prescribes,
Ireland is wonderful place to dine
in.
1t does not follow that sufficient
food is not available in England
there is sufficient to healthily main
tain the system, but there is dit-
ference between that and eating a
large steak properly decorated. That
can be accomplished in Ireland at
reasonable cost, but not in England
at any price.
Ireland is not rationed voluntar-
lily or otherwise, and there is plenty
OF everything with the exception OF
sugar. In respect to food it is more
pleasantly situated than the United
States or England, because prices
have not advanced as they have in
America and are no higher than in
England where the ministry OF food
not only rations but controls prices.
Ireland always has sent quantities
OF meat and dairy products to Eng
land and still is doing so.
Americans who have been inEng-
land and tried to become accuStom-
ed to the four ounces OF meat a
meal and an absence OF lat in cook
ing wherever possible, on arriving
in Ireland fairly gorge themselves

ally welcome the arrests the proper outcome Of the de-
