BAKED HAM

The Bureau of Home Economics,
J. S. Department of Agriculture,
iuggests the following as a good
method of preparing and baking
lam, whether it is to be served hot
)r cold: Select to 10 pound ham
md scrub it thoroughly. If it is
1ery salty, soak it overnight. Allow
t least one quart of boiling water
each pound of ham, or enough to
completely cover it. Place it in the
lot water and, for this sized ham,
id one carrot sliced, two stalks OF
elery, one teaspoon of celery salt,
hree sprigs parsley, one onion slic-
I'd. two or three bay leaves, and one
half cup of strong vinegar. Cover
md then simmer for four or five
hours, counting the time from the
beginning of the simmering period
twenty-five minutes to the pound
will be approximately right. Test
by using a skewer, or a fork. with
long tines. Turn the ham so it will
cook evenly on both sides. Add
more hot water as the liquor evapor-
ates. The ham should be covered
with water during the entire cooking
period. After it is tender, let it
stand overnight in the liquor or, if
you wish to serve it hot, remove the
skin at once, wait until the surface
of the ham is cool, then cover with
the following mixture: 3 cups of
brown sugar, cups of fine, soft
bread crumbs, u teaspoon mustard,
cider or vinegar moisten. Mix these
and spread over the top
Of the ham until entirely covered.
Press g-stemmed, whole cloves
into the coated fat, at intervals.
These help to hold on the paste, then
reduce the temperature and haste
frequently with mixture of ham
liquor and cider or vinegar, until
he ham is evenly Drowned.

DEMPSEY UNLIKELY
TO POSTPONE FIGHT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SARATOGA LAKE. n. Y, July A.
Jack Dempsey appeared today 10 nave
recovered his composure. There nave
been suggestions that the bugaboo or
mental strain which has harassed MN
during preparation for several TUE
battles in the past might postpone or
even prevent a fight with JACK
Sharkey. But indications were that
the ex-champion might be fit to fight:
Trying to recover from the shock OF
the death of his brother. John, VINO
killed his wife and himself Saturday
in Schenectady. Jack yesterday bat
tered six sparring partners during an
unexpected workout with a VICIOUS
ness that surpassed anything shown
previously during the short period OF
training here.
Foregoing the usual session on the
road, Dempsey called his Sparrlng
partners together at 10 am, ana IN
sisted on an immediate boxing session.
Admission to the canvas-Walied arena
on the shores of the lake was refused
1900 spectators who had gathered
despite the announcement tnat no
workout would be held.
Even newspaper men were barred
from the Enclosure on Dempsey's plea
that ne felt unequal to the task OF
meeting any but his boxing mates.
Ripping into action with both hands,
dealing stunning punishment ike the
MAN killing" Dempsey of champion
ship days, Jack knocked out one part
ner in just 20 seconds and hung an
other helpless on the ropes.
He hammered luckless survivors
until they were badly bruised and
battered. Then Dempsey wrestled six
minutes with Carl Carter. giant
negro, before wearing himself out on
the pulleys and heavy bags.
Dempsey then returned to the seciu'
sion of his bungalow buried deep In
the woods off the shore. There he
slept for time and later appeared to
be cheerful.
Among hundreds of the kilograms
of sympathy received at the camp was
one from Gene Tunney, heavyweight
title holder, hoping that Jacks heavy
cross would soon tighten"
