Breakfast Bacon,

Perhaps bacon is best cooked in the
following manner: Cut it into thin
slices and place them on wire broil-
er over dripping pan. Let them
bake in a very hot oven until brown
and crisp. When cooked in this way
bacon is especially adapted to dyspep-
tics. as all superfluous grease has drip
ped into the pan beneath.
Bacon is also delicious served with
cream sauce Pour the grease in the
dripping pan into a bowl, to use later
for frying purposes, and add a little
flour and milk to the few drippings
that remain. Cook the sauce on top
of the stove and pour it over the ba-

to coast and from border to border.
A fact not generally known is that
hundreds of concerns throughout the
country which now are doing business
through the regular trade channels are
awaiting only a parcels post law to
unloose literature, already prepared
in many instances, which would pro-
ject them into the mail order field, and
this does not take into account the
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
entirely new mail order concerns
which inevitably would spring into ex-
istence under such friendly auspices.
The two Chicago institutions re-
ferred to. already occupying immense
buildings, found themselves cramped
for room. One of them expended not
less than 81. 900, 900, and probably more,
for a new home. The other lately has
secured new location and also will
expend at least s1,000,000 for an i'm
mense new building.
Anyone who will reflect even casual
ly on the subject must become i'm
pressed that the influence of the mail
order business is toward the central
lzation of wealth, and how enormous
part it is playing in this direction
will be understood from a second
glance at the figures which have been
given above.
1t is due to himself that every patron
Of the mail order house should inquire
honestly of himself what the final out
come is to be If the mail order busi-
ness shall continue to make the great
strides which have marked its prog
ress durinG the last half decade.
1t is useless to repeat the well worn
argument of the mail order concerns
that they are selling goods enough
more cheaply than the merchants in
the regular channels of trade to leave
their customers more money than
ever to devote to home enterprises
and institutions. The fallacy Of this
statement has been proved over and
over again by actual and minute COM
parisons of goods, as to their quality
and prices. Te refute 1t finally and
ndisputably by a simpler and more
direct method it is necessary only to
ask the reliable business men of any
Of the smaller communities to show
the evidence from their books and ac-
counts of the harm the mail order
habit is doing their communities.

FENCES FOR
FOREST RESERVE
Government will Help Build Drift
Fences in Holy Cross

As stated last week the U. S. for
estry department plans to co operate
with the stockmen in the protection
of the range and adding to the life of
the same by rendering assistance in
the construction of drift fences where
the same are needed and where they
will serve to give better results to the
stockmen. The article of last week
told Of the authority given Supervisor
Blair of the White River reserve to
thus co operate with the stockmen in
the matter of drift fences. AT that
time no such authorization had been
given to the officers of the Holy Cross
reserve. but this week Supervisor
French received authority to unite
with the farmers in the Frying Pan
country to construct drift fence
which viii separate the upper from
the lower range and serve to keep the
cattle on the higher range after they
have been placed there in the spring.
The cattle are turned on the lower
range or southern slope as early as
possible and it is claimed by the
stockmen that they do not seek the
higher grazing as they should. and
W hen driven to the higher areas they
often drift back to the lower fields and
thus the lower territory is badly over
grazed, when if properly protected it
would make excellent pasture for
early spring or late fall use. 1t is
claimed that by proper systems of
drift fences the value of these areas
can be greatly increased, With this
Frying Pan country have for some
time been considering the value to
them of drift fence which would
keep their cattle in the upper country
when placed there.
In consultation with the forestry
officers it was decided that a fence
| would he valuable which would sep
arate the upper from the lower range
| in the Lime creek section and near
Thomasville and Lake Alicia.
The forestry officers have therefore
surveyed and recon mended fence
about 400 rods in length and connect
ing with drift fence built by P. L
Dennhardt freu his ranch to Lime
creek.
Some of the stockmen in that Sec
tion have expressed a desire to have
such fence constructed and have said
it would be Of sufficient value to them
| to warrant them in assisting with its
construction. The government will
expend *75 for the wire and staples
and will give from the reserve under
the free use permit all poles and posts
which may be required and will prob
ably furnish man to supervise and
assist with the work if necessary. The
stockmen will be expected to build
and maintain the fences for the ex-
ira benefit they will derive therefrom.
