BIG EATERS HAVE BAD

Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filed
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during thu night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, Or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, gel
from your pharmacist about our
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before

it no longer is a source of irritation,

BEST OF SANDWICHES
SOME NEW IDEAS EVOLVED BY
CLEVER COOKS.
Improvements In the Popular Tit-5lt
Known as the "club" Have Seen

Of Chicken.

witch. While the principal ingredi-
ents remain the same each style Of
club sandwich differs from it's fellows
in some detail which makes it dis
tinctiVe
What Is known as a French club
sandwich is served with toasted
English muffin substituted for the
usual slices of toasted bread. 1t is
set down before one garnished with a
few sprays of parsley pressed deep
into the yielding surface of the half
muffin which tops the substantial fill
ing of chicken, bacon, mayonnaise, let
tuce and sliced tomato. Watercress
is used in similar fashion, the spray
of green in either case being embedded
in the toasted muffin so firmly that 1t
seems to be a little flower holder
Two halves of trumpet are used for a
similar sandwich and filled with the
same combination, making a sand
wich still more hearty.
Where toasted bread Is used vari-

reason of some other meat or fish be-
ing substituted for the usual founda-
ton layer OF breast of chicken. Thin
ly sliced duck is delicious with the
bacon and other ingredients, and tur-
key 10 also another good substitute.
Strips of rare beef, either cold or
freshly cut from a hot roast and
moistened with horseradish may also
be used, and strips of rare steak are
equally appropriate.
An oyster club sandwich has for
its distinctive feature two or three
large fried oysters. These are laid
on the under slice of toast, sprinkled
with lemon juice and then topped with
two strips of bacon, two lettuce
leaves, a spoonful of mayonnaise and
then the second slice Of toast.
For those who do not care for fried
oysters the oyster club sandwich
comes in still a different form, the
oysters being poached in their own
liquor until the gills curl, when they
are drained of moisture and used for
the foundation of the sandwich. If
preferred oyster club sandwiches may
be served with Russian dressing in
stead of mayonnaise, as the addition
of the tomato flavor in the chilli sauce
is particularly agreeable with oysters,
either fried or poached.
Sardine club sandwich is made
of large boned sardines sprinkled with
lemon juice and arranged as usual
and finely cut lobster, either hot or
cold. offers still another variety.
The egg club sandwich is usually
served with basis of an egg fried on
both sides, and seasoned well with
salt, pepper and paprika before the
other materials for the sandwich are
added. Hard-boiled eggs, sliced or
chopped, result in a sandwich less
rich. In both cases the eggs should
be served hot

Word comes from Monte Carlo that
