LARGE ONLY IN THE CHEST
Physically Small Man, With shrswd
Head, Had tho Laugh on the
Big Follow.

Being a large m~an-bodily, that is
Singleton generally gives us the pip.
He has a nasty habit Of initiating his
two-yard chest and siaring pityingly
on us. the smaller fry. The staff held
q whist drive last week, and there
was hardly anything else in 1t but
Singleton for quite a while.
Then Mydleton came in. Mydleton's
our quiet man; little chap; generally
comes In late everywhere. but comes
In just the same. The conversation
got to Drawn and muscle, 1t generally
does where Singleton Is. At last
Mydleton clipped In.
Look here, Singleton. TIL wager you
an even halfquid I measure more
round the waist than you do"
We all stared. and Singleton near
ly choked.
I'll take you," he grinned, land
give you FIVE to one. If you like"
"Done!' said Mydleton.
Then, in the dressing-room Single
ton ran the tape round Mydleton, and
cried contemptuously:
"Thirty-four inchesl AS broad
across the shoulders as a herring
across the forehead"
Mydleton's face fell. but he picked
1t up again, and, placing the tape
round Singleton he called loudly:
"Fifty-nine inches!" Then, to the
stakeholder, I'll take that three
pounds, please"
But how?" Singleton said.
WELL" said Mydleton, the big
chest was yours. but I measured round
it,"
There's been an awful shrinkage In

HOW TO COOK BACON
NEED NOT ALWAYS BE sERVED
IN SAME OLD WAY.
Should Be Thoroughly Chilled Before
Frying to Get Best Results-Varl-
GUS Nice Ways Of Serving AZ
Breakfast Dish.

There is q proper and an improper
way to cook bacon. One unfortunately
yses too much of the latter. Baked
on q rack or a broiler, 1t Is consider
ed more wholesome thar when 1t Is
fried, but most of the trouble with
fried bacon lies not In the fact that 1t
II fried, but rather In the way 1t Is
tried. 1t Is too often sent to the table
either half cooked and floating In
grease. or else 1t is dried up and half
burned.
To fry bacon Ideally. 1T should, after
It has been out into thin slices, be
placed on Ice to become thoroughly
chilled. The pan must be very hot, 20
that the bacon curls into little rolls as
soon a. the pan Ia shaken. Fry 1t
thoroughly, but not long enough to
harden 1t.
Bacon baked as follows is free from
create: Cut 1t into thin slices and
place them on a rack such as Is used
for roasting meat or pom a gridiron
placed over a dripping pan. Have the
oven very hot and let the slices re-
main In 1t until they are crisp and
brown.
The following Is a unique way Of
broiling bacon: Cut 1t into thin slices
a. usual, place cracked ice owe them,
and lot them stand In this way until
they are chilled. After broilng the
slices on one side place them again
on the Ice. IN a moment or two put
L~ut~ -. tbo A-o md hrri1 than IN tho
other side until done. The sudden
change of temperature Is believed to
improve bacon.
There are man. nice ways Of serv-
ing bacon as a breakfast dish. Toma'
toes fried with bacon are q favorita
dish in many English households. Cut
the tomatoes in slices, season with
salt and pepper, and, II preferred, din
In egg and bread crumbs before fry.
Ing.
A catsup gravy is very NICE when
fried in bacon. Pour off the super.
fiuous grease after frying, add a little
catsup mixed with water and thicke1
with -four, II necessary. About a quar-
ter Of a cupful OF water is added to
halt a cupful OF catsup.
Fried bacon with cream gravy makes
4 nice breakfast dish in spring, with
corn bread. After cooking the bacon
free 1t from superfuous grease. Add
q little -four and milk to the dripplngs
that remain, cook the sauce on top of
the stove and pour it over the bacon.
Another way to prepare this dish is to
soak the bacon In cold milk for 20
minutes before cooking, afterward
dipping the slices In -four and frying
In = very hot creased frying pan. The
soaking In milk gives q fine favor to
the bacon and the -four, and the -four
insures a crisp crust. Shake the pan
well while cooking, and after brown
ing thoroughly on both sides remove
the bacon. Pour off superfuous grease
and place the slices on rough brown
paper to absorb any Fat that may ad-
here to the outside. Stir into the fry
Ing pan one or two tablespoonfuls Of
-four, gradually adding the milk the
bacon was soaked in, and season with
salt and pepper. When the sauce Is
thick pour it over the bacon and serve
at once

Time To ACT
FOR ELECTION
South Amboy People Who Are
Dissatisfied Have Chance.
spsctnI to the FVENTNG NEWs.

SpSNtet " hfS w 49,
South Amboy, Aug. 26:-At this
time the dissatisfied of this munich
patty should get active. AS we cir
culate on business in and around the
city certain of our citizens are loud
in their condemnation of the city
officiary. Some are found who can
hardly find language strong enough
to voice their sentiments regarding
the action taken by the Board of
Education, while Others condemn
the action of the mayor and common
council and other officials of the city
for the lack of zeal or over jealous
ness in the administration of the city
affairs.
No comment is to be made on
their criticisms. They may be justi-
fed in making them, but there is no
justification for these dissatisfied
critics in the Indifference they dis
play in correcting the errors they
complain of in the administration Of
municipal affairs. By the line of
action they persist in pursuing no
matter If we have the present pri-
mary law, no n who would be
fitted to fill the Office would individ-
ually and personally seek to have his
name placed on the primary ticket
and therefore it Is apparently neces-
sary for the voters to hold an in
formal meeting for suggestion and
consideration of a ticket to have
placed before the voters at the pri-
mary. If this were not done the
matter of the primary would perhaps
be confusion, or result with no can
didates or worse than no candidates
in the field.
Such meetings were held last week
and suggestive tickets were made by
a few members of the two old par
ties and no doubt by this time
enough signers have been secured.
But at these meetings not more thar
one or two of the faultflnders were
present. Now Is the time for those
who Imagine mistakes were made In
the election of municipal officers to
rectify those mistakes and turn the
rascals out. There is no politics in
the municipal oficiary, at least there
ought not to be, as there is still time
to rectify and have placed before the
people at the primary another ticket
for municipal officers. Why not call
a meeting and name men to come up
before the primary that Will I'LL the
bill for wisdom and economy, to suit
the dissatisfied. No matter what
you may style the ticket, whether
Citizen, Progressive or Croaker, get
together and let's have a ticket that
will stop this everlasting faulttindlng
or hereafter hold your peace for now
Is the accepted time and today Is the
time to get out of the woods.
