A LMOST every one likes oysters,
u and although they cannot be
classed among the less expensive
foods, they lend themselves so admira-
bly, TO a number of made dishes that
in the hands of q clever housekeeper
they are really an economical purchase.
In shopping for oysters one will find
that not only is there wide difference
in price but also in the manner in which
they are Sold few years ago they
were sold only in two ways-namely, by
the quart or SO much a dozen ION the
half she'll" Now, however, in many fish
shops they are sold unopened or opened
at so much dozen instead of by meas
ure, the price depending on size and the
cost of the labor in opening.
A quart Of oysters contains from
The price of the opened shellfish runs
from 2 to 212 cents each. Unopened
oysters may be had for 70 cents each
If opened at home every drop Of the
oyster liquor should be saved, ard in
preparing the picked oysters (for Thurs
days dinner) scald the liquor, set in a
cold place and use the following day as
an addition in making the bisque of oys-
ters. Also save few oysters from
the bisque and use in connection with
the leftover mackerel for the founda-
tion of the Drowned hash served for
Saturdays breakfast.
In buying oysters it is always best to
see them freshly opened, for unscrupu-
lous dealers have been known to soak
oysters in fresh water, thus giving them
a plump appearance, and to add cer-
tain proportion of this same water to
the oyster liquor, thus adding materially
to their profits.
Oysters contain an albuminous sub
stance, which increases in hardness with
an increase in temperature, just as the

S-inch plates and the oven give
three heats eacl1-high, medium and
low. The nigh oven heat turns on
both broiler and the bottom oven
units. The medium heat turns on
the broiler only, but at high heat,
and the Glow" heats the bottom
units only at low heat largely for
maintaining an oven temperature
already obtained.
The 41s-inch plate has only one
heat and is really used for a sim
merer.
The main switch, which controls
the current Of the whole range, also
lights a "telltale" lamp on the
splasher at the back of the stove
under the oven. This lamp burns
as long as the main switch is open
and prevents much waste, as the
electricity is too often left on unnec-
essarily because of the fact that
the concealed elements show no color
of fame, and so turning off the cur
rent may be overlooked.
A quart Of water, in covered
aluminium kettle with broad base,
boiled on the 8inch plate in II min
utes; it continued boiling with the
switch turned down to medium for
80 minutes and apparently would
boil indefinitely. For five minutes
the water continued to boil with the
heat turned off entirely, which de-
monstrates the way in which the
units store up heat. This fact must
be used to get economic results and
compensate for the comparatively
slow heating up of the stove. Obvi-
ously such a stove is more economic
for longtime cooking than for short
opera tions.
