Bacon is made from a boneless section of pork side containing strips of fat and lean and is smoked and sold in the whole piece or sliced. The loin of pork, smoked. is called Canadian style bacon. This is chiefly lean meat. It is usually sliced little thicker than the other kind of bacon.
 To Cook Bacon
 Bacon is cooked by broiling or panbroiling. The slices should be placed in cool frying-pan, or on a cool broiler rack and are cooked slowly, over low heat or at a dis tance of three inches from the source of heat in the broiler oven. The slices should be turned fre- quently.
 An easy way to cook large quan- tity of bacon is to place it on a rack in an open pan in a hot oven (400 degrees F0 and cook until it is as crisp as you wish it. Turn the bacon frequently.
 However it is cooked, bacon should be a light golden brown when done. It is a good idea to place it on absorbent paper to drain before serving it.
 Here are suggestions for bacon dishes to take you around the clock.
 Bacon and Eggs
 Partially cook the bacon slices and arrange around the sides of muffin tins with bacon drippings. Drop eggs in center. Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper and cook in a moderate oven until done.
 Dreaded Luncheon Bacon
 Have a well-beaten egg in one plate and finely crushed cracker crumbs in another. Have bacon sliced thin. For easier handling cut the strips in two. Dip each slice of bacon first in the egg, then in the cracker crumbs and brown in hot fat in a skillet. Watch care- fully and turn frequently.
 Stuffed Bacon Slices
 12 slices bacon
 1 cup soft bread crumbs
 f cup melted butter
 cup milk
 ? eggs, slightly beaten
 Salt and pepper
 Make bread dressing. Place one heaping teaspoon on one end of a slice of bacon. Roll the bacon slice around the dressing and fasten with a toothpick or small skewer. Place on a cool broiler rack about inches from the source of heat, with the regulator set for a moder- ate oven (325 degrees F0. Turn fre- quently. When the bacon becomes crisped, remove to hot platter and serve at once.

There's Great Variety of Fine Ways to Prepare
 And Serve Bacon

Bacon is an every season, every day, and in fact an every meal standby when 1t comes to answer ing the question of what to serve. If there is a more versatile meat than bacon, we can't at the moment think what 1t can be. Bacon starts the day right when it appears at the breakfast table. It gives sub stance to a luncheon or supper, and 1t may be served as the main dish for the family dinner. All this is in addition to the role bacon plays as tasty accompaniment to other foods, for instance, cut into salads, baked in mufins, wrapped about olives as an appetizer. placed over a meat loaf, or used in many other familiar or unexpected ways.
