OUTLOOK FOR
NEW BUILDING
IS OPTIMISTIC
In Some Places Construction
Slowed by Material Lack and
labor Trouble.

With regard to the building situa-
ton, S. w Straus & Co. says: mo
adverse circumstances of any conse'
quence are affecting building ac'
tivities throughout the country. In
some places there are signs OF a
slight slowing up due to shortage OF
building materials or lack OF labor
in some essential trades. This situa'
ton has not as yet developed seri'
ously, and building operations the
country over are moving along with
unprecedented magnitude.
THE unmistakable optimism exist
ing throughout the business world is
reflected in a tendency toward in
creased construction of commercial
types of buildings. AS the country
adjusts itself to the more active bust
ness conditions that seem likely to
ensue from now on, we shall no
doubt see greater activity in the
construction OF office buildings. in
dustrial plants. hotels and other types
Of structures used for business pur.
poses.
Inquiry for capital to be used in
erecting buildings is strong, and as
conditions seem quite well stabilized
at this time and the demand for
buildings far exceeds the supply,
there is every expectation that these
inquiries will continue active"

SECRETS OF COOKING BACON
To Fry Until Thoroughly Delicious and
Crisp, Though Unburned, Is Not
Difficult.

Frying bacon so that II Is thorough
ly delicious and crisp, though un-
burned, is not such hard thing to
accomplish as has sometimes been
supposed. According to the office of
home economics of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, 1t makes
no difference whether the cooking is
fast or slow, and to keep pouring off
the fat as II tries out is more work
than is really necessary FOR perfect
ly good result.
Frying bacon so that II is crisp Is
chiefly a matter of getting the water
and excess fat out of II. In order not
to burn II, one should be very careful
that neither the bacon nor the fat In
the pan becomes overheated. Through
out the process the fat should remain
n light brown color and should not be
allowed to get dark brown. 1t Is
easier to cook bacon slowly than to
cook II fast, because II is easier to
keep the fat uniform pale color when
one takes plenty of time for the
task.
Bacon to be crisp does not need to
drain while 1t is cooking. II can even
be fried In deep fat with excellent re-
suits. After II is cooked and before
1t is taken from the pan ii should
be thoroughly drained while still hot I;
then 1t should be served at once.
