COOKING oyster Crabs.


Nothing in the entire fist Of foods
quite equals the oyster crab in flavor
SO deliciously does it combine with
other fish that there is hardly dish
THAT 1t does not improve. One Of the
amateur cooks Of famous club pre-
pares 1t in chatting dish over the gas
range with hashed chicken, and II fsi
pronounced excellent as second
breakfast dish with plenty Of papriksH
the mixture being served semi-devfled
in green pepper shells.
An oyster-crab omelet Is gastron-
omic delight The crabs are first
cooked in butter. little water ,and
-four enough to thicken, this sauce be-
ing made first, and the crabs then adj
ded with pinch of cayenne. The ONE
let should be made very light and fluffy
with the yolks and whites of the eggs
beaten separately, and the crabs them
rolled in the center.
Another pleasing way to prepare this;
delicacy is by following the instruc-
lions of a famous Delmonico chef.
which is as follows: Wash we'll and
dry pint and half of crabs. Dip
them in flour and then In cold milk,
and finally in cracker dust. Shake
them up we'll in strainer and fry i'm
very hot fat for three minutes. Serve
in little pate shells with scanty pinch
of salt.

want business administration. We.
want taxes reduced. We want useless
commissions, established for the sole
purpose of furnishing jobs for party
workers. abolished. We want the needr

ed on business basis. We want D.

The Commoner believes he will, he wiz
be reelected four years hence, for the
