2 Meals Day, Plenty
Water, Helps Stomach
“Since 1 drink plenty water, eat 2
good meals a day and take Adlerika
now and then, I’ve had no trouble
with my stomach.”—C. Deforest.
Unlike other medicine, Adlerika
acts on BOTH upper and lower bow-
el, removing poisonous waste which
cause gas and other stomach trou-
bles. Just ONE spoonful relieves gas,
sour stomach and sick headache. Let
Adlerika give your stomach and bow-
els a RFJAL cleaning and see how
good you feel.—€. S. Stephens, Drug-
gist.
1 Jefferson, Texas, March 23.—'1 he
badly mangled body of a man, who
has been identified by Marion County
authorities as Frank Smith, painter
of Marshall and Chicago, was found
on the Texas & Pacific Railroad
tracks near Lodi, twelve and one-halt
miles north of Jefferson, early Mon-
day.
Sheriff Thomas Taylor of Jefferson
was summoned for an investigation
by a freight train crew which discov-
ered the body and reported the man
had apparently fallen from a fast-
moving train onto the tracks and his
body torn beyond recognition.

One of the most successful and bril-
liant stage comedies of the past de-
cade, "The (Queen’s Husband,” by Rob-
ert E. Sherwood, has found its way
into Hollywood studios and has emer-
ged as a notable talking picture. The
production, now titled “The Royal
Bed,” opens tomorrow at the Titus
Theatre, with Lowell Sherman head-
ing a remarkable cast.
It is said that the play remains the
same sophisticated, satirical comedy
that pleased Broadway audiences for
months. The leading role is a tail-
or-made part for Sherman’s talents.
But the splendor of Sherwood’s
mythical kingdom of the North sea,
limited heretofore by the stage, is
actually produced in the film, one of
the most elaborate productions Radio
Pictures has ever released.
The interior “sets,” representing a
fairyland richness of gold, silver, al-
abaster and marble, were constructed
in the huge studio sound stage, and
include a King’s office and corridor, a
glittering mammoth ball room, the
Queen’s and Princess’ boudoirs, the
council chamber and others, equally
luxurious.
Of the exterior settings, the capital
city and the palace are the most ex-
tensive, representing many weeks of
construction by hundreds of men. The
bombardment of the capitol by the
fleet, the storming of the castle by
thousands of revolting citizens, mere-
ly intimated in the play, are recreated
with thrilling realism in the film.

A KITCHEN GOD
|VD you know that the Chinese
" have a God of the Kitchen ♦
His name is Tao Chun, and he is
generally worshipped all over
China twice a month, at the time
of the New and Full Moon. Bat
he sits in his temple all the time,
and is supposed to impart, his cul-
inary art in srmm mmricn I foghiou
to the chefs throughout the yea<-
There is really but little differ-
«nce between American and Chi-
nese food except in the way it is
cooked or the seasoning used. A
study of their diet will disclose
that the Chinese vso spinach, on-
ions celery, cabbage, carrots, tur-
nips, peas, beans, chestnuts, bam-
boo shoots, bean sprouts and
many other tubular roots; also
fish, shrimps, crabs and pork,
pigeons, and various kinds of
fowl
They Come in Cans
Almost all of these products
which the Chinese skilfully com-
bine into such delicious and deli-
cate dishes can be obtained in this
country in cans. Not only that.,
but some of them have been com-
bined for you into made dishes
all ready to heat and serve. Bean
sprouts, bamboo shoots, water
chestnuts, chow mein noodles and
chop sttey are all obtainable in
cans, and Soy Saure comes in bot-
tles.
A ( hinese bill-of-fare sounds
something like a dog tight, rr you
asstime that the dog fight takes
place in a barnyard, the sem-
blance is practically complete.
Just try saying this rapidly:
"Yacamein, warmein, young
chow warmein, chotv hang sai,
moo goo hai, wo far hai rain, bar
low sang hai, lat chow gai, hung
yen guy pan. bark toy guy, lan
far chow mein, chop suey, chow
dan, egg for young, egg sub gum,
ha too young dan.”
A Chinese Menu
In order to simplify the bewil-
dering possibilities suggested
above we re outlining a Chinese
menu for an evening party, and
adding the recipes so that it will
all he plain sailing. There is
nothing more attractive than an
evening party with Chinese lan-
terns, screens, hangings and fans
for decorations, and perhaps even
a whiff of incense burned in your
best Ming Bowl. Here’s the menu,
calculated to serve eight.
Chinese Shrimp Omelet Rice
Sprout Salad
Pineapple Slices with Preserved
Kumquats
Rice Cakes Scsamum-Seed Candy
Tea
Chinese Shrimp Omelet: Fry
one cup of celery and one cup of
onions, both sliced thin, in one-
fourth cup cooking oil until gold-
en in color. Shred the contents
of two 5%-ounce cans of shrimps
rather finely, and add and cook a
little longer. Beat four eggs well,
add the shrimps and vegetables,
and drop by spoonfuls in hot fat
in a skillet, patting out into round
cakes. Brown well, turn and
brown on other aide. Serve with
rice and Soy Sauce.
Sprout Salad: Drain two cups
canned sprouts and chill thor
oughly. Arrange on lettuce and
sprinkle over one-half cup grated
raw carrot and four tablespoons
minced chives. Dress with French

dressing. Remove the sections <-t
two oranges with a knife, leav.i g
on none of the white fibre, and
place two or three sections on
each salad.
Pineapple Slices with Preserved
Kuia<iuats: Cut large slices T
canned pineapple in three uni-
form segments and arrange on a
glass dessert plate, inserting a
sprig of fresh mint between tlie
segments. In the center hole
place a preserved kumquat, and
pour over some of the kumquat
syrup. Serve very cold.
Another Chinese Dish
In order to give you a chance to
vary this menu, hero is another
Chinese recipe which can he sub-
stituted for the first dish.
Chow Mein: Empty a can of
chow mein noodles into a pie tin
and warm in oven a few minutes.
Bring lard or cooking oi! in skil-
let almost to boiling point. Fry
one-half pound lean pork cut in
pieces w’ith tablespoon Soy Sauco
alone until done, stirring con-
stantly. Next add two cups celery
cut to same size as meat, one cup
dry onions cut In small pieces,
and a little soupstoclc or juice
from a can of bean sprouts. Add
one tahlespoon brown sauce and
one tablespoon Soy Sauce, and
cover over to cook till vegetables
are done. Add the sprouts and
heat thoroughly. Mix flour and
water as for gravy, and add to
thicken. Mold the noodles on a
platter or plates and cover with
chop suey. Decorate with lettuce
and sliced boiled eggs, sprinkle
with chopped nuts and serve
while hot with Soy Sauce as a
condiment.*
