5 The Art of Broiling

Broiling is the ideal way to cook
bacon and ham. To do this, place
thinly sliced bacon or slices of ham,
from which the rind has been re-
moved, close together in a fine wire
broiler, place broiler over a drip
ping-pan and bake in hot oven
until crisp and delicate brown,
turning once or as needed. Drain
on brown paper. Strain fat which
has dripped from bacon or ham into
pan and use for sauteing liver. eggs.
etc. Bacon and ham may be broiled
successfully in the broiling oven Of
the gas range, if watched carefully
The wire broiler containing bacon
or ham is placed over the broiler
some distance from the fame and
the cooking continued the same as.
in the bake oven. This method re-
quires more careful attention, as the
heat is greater and the process
shorter.
Broiled bacon is the most easily
digested, because the bacon is con-
stantly drained, and the most savory.
of all forms of cooked fat. That is
why it is good for invalids and
growing boys and girls as we'll as.
adults.
However, most of us fry or pan
broil our bacon and there is a
"knack," so to speak, in doing that.
Most women have the frying-pan
hot and that is where they make
their mistake. Fry or pan-broil the
bacon as follows:
Put bacon in cold frying pan,
then put over not too, hot fire.
Before turning the slices pour off
the grease that has accumulated,
then turn and turn again if neces-
sary. pouring off the fat. When
nicely browned-be careful not to
burn-serve Immediately, but if
you want to have it exceptionally
nice, take it up on brown, unglazed
paper and put in a hot oven to dry.
Most meats are put into a hot pan,
but remember that bacon is an ex-
ception and goes into a cold pan.

How to Care for
Hard WooC
Floors

! Wood forms large percentage of
the surfaces that must be cared for
in home.
Unfinished wood surfaces absorb
grease and dirt more readily, are
more likely to stain and are harder
to keep clean than those in which the
pores OF the wood are filled with
varnish. oil, paint or other finish. In
general house should contain as
few unfinished surfaces as possible.
Unfinished wood surfaces may be
scrubbed with the grain of the wood.
using small quantities of water and
mild soap, rinsed with a cloth wrung
out OF clear water and wiped dry.
Strong soaps, alkalis and too much
water darken wood and may soften
the wood. If the dirt cannot be re-
moved with soap and water scour-
er, such as fine steel wool or pow
dered pumice, may be used.
Unfinished wood can be bleached
+! with oxalic acid solution, which is
poisonous. The wood should be
covered thinly with the solution, al
lowed to dry and then thoroughly
washed until all traces of the acid
are removed. y
II grease is spilled on unfinished
wood, cold water should be applied
at once, if possible, in order to hard
en- the grease and prevent its spread
ing, then as much grease as possible
should be scraped off with a knife
and the spot scrubbed with wash
ing soda or lye solution. .,..
If the spot appears dark paste
made of tuller's earth and water
should be spread over it and allowed
to remain over night. ...
Vanished and shellacked surfaces
ordinarily should be busted clean
with a soft brush or cloth and pol
ished with an oiled mop or soft cloth
moistened with few drops of light
lubricating oil. lemon oil or furni-
ture polish. Rub the oil or polish
in we'll and remove any surplus with
soft cloth. A..
Waxed surfaces may be cleaned
with a soft, dry duster or, in the case
VI IiUOlS, d SOlt UluSlI VI lllOp liCC
from oil. The film of dirt and wax
which darkens the surface may be
removed with cloth wrung out of
warm soapy water or. better, with
one moistened with turpentine or
