Brolled bacon Is Q dish which in few households deserves the adjective, be- cause it Is seldom broiled; the fat is fried out of it and again soaked into lt by long sputtering in a spider full of grease.
 The only way to cook b0con-both for the matter of appearance and Tor digestive qualities-is to broil it, not aver a bed of cOals Qt is too fat for thaD. but in a very hot oven. Cut the bacon In the most dellcately thin slices possible, rejecting the rind. Lay tho pieces close together in fine wire broner. Place it over a dripping pan and set in a hot oven. It requires to be turned lust once The fat which falls Into the pan makes excellent drlpplngs for frying potatoes.

Players Promise Greatest
 Baseball Ever Played.

The greatest baseball game ever played In the North will take place on the SNag' way diamond Sunday. between the Whit Pass Club and the Soldlers. The line up will be the same as ln the exciting game of last Sunday, and the special prize that goes with the Sundays game will be a purse of s7s and the victorious team will have accorded it the honor of defending the American eolOrs against Whltehorse To The international contest on the Fourtp or July.
 The baseball players, the club nine' the soldier boys and the frsmen, have again r.oues,sd that the public patronlze the grand stand. They make this request with good grace snd with justice on thslr side this time, because the game will be a good one. The Soldiers and White Pass teams are now playing exhibition ball. Such an sntef,alnment as they give each Sunday afternoon Is worthy of patronage by those who Ike the great national game. The ball players are still out a large sum on the grounds, and, while they are not playing for money. they think those who attend the games should help pay for the eXpsn- dltures, especially when they can do so and add to their own comfort at the sane lime
