Oysters Valuable as
Source of Minerals

PREPARED by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
You know, doubtless, that oysters
are extremely valuable as a source of
various minerals needed by the body.
Like other fish they supply iodine, so
should be eaten when possible if other
sea foods are hard to get. Fresh oys-
tiers are now shipped in refrigerator
cars all over the country, and canned
oysters are also sold practically
everywhere.
The secret of perfect fried oysters
with an unbroken outer coating, says
the bureau of home economics. is to
let the oysters stand a while after
dipping them in egg and bread
crumbs, so that the coating will hard
en-. Select large oysters for single
frys. Drain them and look them over
carefully for small pieces of shell.
Have finely sifted stale bread crumbs
seasoned with salt and pepper spread
out on a platter. Dip the oysters
first into a well-beaten egg to which
one tablespoonful of cold water has
been added, and roll them in the sea-
soned crumbs. Place the oysters on a
pan or board and allow them to stand
until the egg and bread coating has
set.
Heat in an iron kettle any desired
fat until hot enough to brown bread
crumb in 40 seconds. Then carefully
place the oysters in a wire basket,
lower them into the fat slowly, and
coz until golden brown. AS the oys-
tiers are removed, put them on pa
per to absorb the excess fat, and keep
warm until all are prepared.

the new icicles.
"When icicles are weary they come
there for rest, when they aren't quite
strong enough to go out they stay
there, and when the icicles drop down
because it is too warm or because
they have fallen, they are picked up
by little icicle workers and brought
back to Headquarters SO that they
will get well.

So Icy Icice and Alice went straight

window.
On and on they went through groves
and valleys and paths lined with icicle
hangings.
At last they reached the Headquar-
tiers. Oh, such castle as there was
1t had turrets and towers and meats
and great huge bathrooms and dining
rooms and reception rooms and great
halls in which hung pictures of ia
nous Icicle leaders.
Never had Alice seen such gorgeous
icicles. They seemed to wear many
jewels, too. And she was given
banquet of Iced delicacies in the great
icicle banquet hall.

STORING BUTTER FOR WINTER

If the summer supply of butter in
the farm home is larger than is used
by the family and the winter supply
is less than is desirable, it is some
times convenient to store the summer
surplus for use in winter. To insure
good keeping qualities in butter the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has found it best to use pas
teurized sweet cream. The cream
should be churned at a low temporal
ture and the butter washed so that
it will be firm and waxy.
