FOR IDEAL CLUB SANDWICH
t1ssssss Will Find Luncheon peilcae,

The club sandwich forms an ideal
quick luncheon, with q cup Of choco.
late or tea. It is a delicious after.
theater tidbit. Moreover, it is easy
to make in the dining room, with the
aid Of q chatting dish and electric
toaster. It has so many varieties that
1t can be served frequently without be-
coming mOnot0nous.
To begin with, its foundation is q
slice Of hot buttered toast at the bot.
tom and another at the top. Between
these two slices there must be lettuce
and mayonnaise and boiled or fried
bacon. Besides, these Ingredients many
other things can be used.
Perhaps what one may call the con
ventional club sandwich contains on
the foundation slice Of toast q crisp
piece of lettuce, q spoonful Of thick
mayonnaise, a slice Of chicken breast,
two crisp slices Of bacon, a slice of
tomato, more lettuce and mayonnaise,
and the cover of toast.
Instead Of the tomato a slice Of to-

be used.
Or else over the toast may be spread

m%ayonnaise or chopped olives and may

The lower slice Of toast may be

and the top slice Of toast-with or

DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to Be
Kept Closed 7ight-Use Split
Log DRAG After Rains.

(By w. C. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
When dry weather the dust
from the road becomes a great null
sance to the housewife who lives near
the road. In many cases windows
have to be kept closed tight to lessen
the amount of dust that seeps in. The
most effective way of reducing the
dust NUISANCE is the use of q split-log
drag on the road after every rain.
The road dust comes largely from the
grinding up of the turned-up edges of
ruts made by wheels and horses hoofs.
These cannot form unless water ~
stand on the roadbed and water can
not stand on the roadbed II 1t is kept
we'll crowned and well packed as it
will be II the road drag is used regu-
larly. Dragging the roads will mean
a good deal to the housewife, as well
as to travellers and those who have to
haul to and from the market.

Care Of Milk.

Care Of milk, important for all, is a
vital necessity In q home where there
are children. 1t Is absolutely essential
to the safety Of babes. No intelligent
mother will leave to an ordinary SER
want the task Of caring for or prepar-
ing the milk for her baby. Mothers of
small children should get, from their
own physicians, explicit directions for
the proper handling of milk and for
cleaning and sterilizing nursing bot
Ties. Pamphlets on infant feeding may
be obtained from the municipal milk
stations or health officers. Milk for
babies cannot be kept too cold, and too
much care cannot be given to keeping
It clean and covered.

Eoual Parts Of zenoleum and Kerosene
Are Recommended-clvs EPSON

Labored breathing, wheeling. rat
thing in the throat, gaping and sneez-
ing. are symptoms Of colds in the
lock. When birds showing these
symntoms are discovered they should
be removed from the flock and treated.
Use equal parts Of zen0leum and kefO-
'sene or equal parts of kerosene and
sweet oil, immersing the heads Of the
birds in the mixture or injecting SMALL
amounts Of 1t into the nostriis and
mouth. EPSON salts should be given
In a moist mash also, while the birds
are under treatment.

IN DEFENSE OF THE HuRcH

"Play your lunches" is a good rule
to follow. 1t 10 not Q direction to thu

doubted that the superstitious derive
much benefit from their lunches. They
have so many, charms upon which to
place reliance that they look rather I'M
favorably upon such a practical help az

doubt, will deny that q hunch has any
value. but that 10 because they are not
az practical as they think they are.
Common sense does not ignore
lunches, and without common nj
cannot have practical sense.
A bunch IL an impulse to the judy
ment, declares . writer in the Pitts
burgh Gazette Times. 1t IL an invol-
untary mental operation. an i!nstan-
taneous appeal to and inclination Of
the judgment upon the outcome OF
which m0ment0us consequences for
veal or o may depend. 1t may be
instructive or it may be intuitive. but
it is an imperative demand for action.
1t does not always compel the right
action, though usually it does. It is a
sleepless outlook, an ever-alert mont
tor within the human mind that sounds
. warning and points the road Of safe
ty. In that case the unthinking regard
It as a premonition. II the instant &C.
ton upon it avoids disaster to him to
whom it comes he usually credits 1t to
luck. Really he should know that he
has been saved by q bunch.
There is the case of that New Haven
engineer who averted a serious wreck

and only a few persons were injured
