The most dangerous type of reck-
less driver, the man who is guilty of

stated Maj. Pullman, 'is being curbed
by the revocation of his license. Dur
ing the fiscal year twenty-three per-
sons arrested for driving automobiles
while under the influence of intoxicants

from killing themselves or others

Sugar Cured Hams and Bacon.

When the meat is cooled, rub
each piece with salt and allow it
to drain overnight. Then pack
it in a barrel with the hams and
shoulders in the bottom, using
the strips Of bacon to fill in be-
tween or to put on top. Weigh
out for each 100 pounds of meat
8 pounds Of salt, 2 pounds OF
brown sugar and two ounces of
saltpeter. Dissolve all in 4 gal
Ions of water, and cover the
meat with the crime. For sum-
mer use it will be safest to boil
the brine before using. In that
case it should be cooled thorous !
ghly before it is used. For win
ter curing it is not necessary to
boil the brine. Bacon strips
should remain in this brine four
to six weeks; hams six to eight
weeks. This is a standard recipe
and has given the best of salts,
faction. Hams and bacon cured
in the spring will keep right
through the summer after they
are smoked. The meat will be
sweet and paiatable if smoked
properly, and the flavor will be
good.
