Take bacon fat, add cold water and
heat until melted and hot on the back
Of the stove, then set away to cool.
The fat will be washed clean from
bits of charred bacon, and the smoky
taste, which is so Objectionable to
many, is nearly removed. Such fat
may be used in spice cakes, spiced
puddings. fruit cookies. and in other
dishes in which the flavor of spices or
fruits predominates.
All meat drippings may be treated
in the same way as bacon fat and they
can then be used for biscuit, breads
of various kinds, cookies and even
for pastry. In using any washed fat
or lard for shortening a good portion
of salt must be used to give it the
proper taste.
Chicken fats after being rendered,
strained and cooled. can be used as
shortening for delicate cakes and in
dishes where butter is used, and for
the seasoning of vegetables and soups
as well as in buildings.
Sweet lard makes good shortening
for ginger bread and molasses cookies.

For many years the office of national committeeman from AL aska has been catered to for the sole purpose of controlling patron age. Now comes the new commit teeman, declaring the first efforts will be to elect the Alaska terri torial and divisional tickets, support of the national ticket in the North west, and then, if the party is sue cessful, political patronage to those who are active in party work.
 If Committeeman Mcbride is suc- cessful in an effort to bring har- mony, as well as national prom thence to the Republican party in Alaska, he will have accomplished something. Heretofore the Repub- lican party has been scared with factional strife. Elimination of fac +;on., s+,;fo ,Eh re.r s+rong front for national legislation for Alaska. It appears this should be more important than filling federal offices in Alaska.
