SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Feeding the By ZOLA Food Make the Most of . Flavorsome Bacon With bacon at the lowest pric es in a long time make the most of it by buying , carefully and limiting the length of time you store it. Bacon should not be frozen, since within a week the flavor of the fat may begin to show first stages of rancidity. To get the utmost goodness out of good bacon, store it in the refrig erator and use it within a week. Top-quality bacon owes its pres tige to careful selection of the side of pork, superior curing, controlled smoking, and use of the center slices only for the first quality packages. Proper cooking as with all foods is particularly important with bacon. Some people like it crisp . . . some like it not quite so well done, whichever way you like it be sure you fry it over a low heat for best results. A good trick is to start cook ing bacon without separating the slices. Just remove the number of slices in one piece and place in cold skillet. Heat slowly, turn ing and separating the pieces as the heat loosens them. In this way, the slices are not torn by trying to- strip off the chilled slices. Fry and turn and keep the heat low. Do not pour off the drippings during the cooking. This fat helps float the slices and makes possible complete brown ing of the entire slice without raw or burned spots. Remove each slice as it is cooked. Drain on soft paper and do keep it hot until service time. Bacon Bean Bake Pork and beans using bacon for the pork is an ideal hearty winter dish that takes on a party look when the bacon slices form a lattice top design.

All dairy products should be refrigerated as quickly as possi ble after purchase with the ex ception of pasteurized process cheese, cheese food and cheese spreads which keep well as long as the temperatur is 70 degrees or below. Milk, cream, cottage cheese and cultured milk such as buttermilk and yogurt should be used .within three to four days for maximum flavor and texture enjoyment.

"Shocking" Neglect It is estimated that the aver age two-year-old has at least one ailing baby tooth, which could stand repair. The average 16-year-old has at' least seven teeth j that are decayed, missing or ' filled.' - ! Tooth neglect is brought into I focus by a report from the Army I Surgeon General's office.
