TAXED Oysters In
Shells Serves Few
! Or Many
OYSTERS PROVE HEALTHFUL
AND NUTRITIOUS AS WELL
AS DELICIOUS

Those tasty little ed' marine bi-
alive acknowledgements the
randest little things imaginable. Be-
hg very nourishing and so easily
6gested they are recommended for
Sick people and convalescents as well
as for good healthy people. The fact
that they require little cooking makes
khem a favorite with many women
and their fine flavor makes them q
favorite with the men as well as the
women.
There are many towns that don't
sell oysters in the shell but they come
Freshly shucked from a nearby town,
this of course, makes it impossible
to serve this dish.
Here is one very good way to make
baked oysters: Wash, scrub with a
brush four or five fresh unshelled
Eoysters for each service. Arrange
the oysters in a dripping pan, deep
khell downwards, and bake in hot
bven until che shells separate. Do
hot bake too long, or the oysters
will become tough. It may be neces-
barry to open some of them when done.
Remove to a hot serving dish, and
pour on each oyster a teaspoon of the
Following mixture: Cream two table,
poons of butter, add a few grains of
ALT, q dash of paprika or a drop of
bbasco sauce and two-thirds tea
poon of lemon juice.
This makes a nice thing to serve
or party when people are dropping
b every now and then as few or
nany can be prepared at once. They
must be served Immediately though.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II - In
creased sentiment for diyerting the
administration four hundred and
six million dollars special defense
request to restoring budget cuts in
farm benefits was noted as Congress
begged down to its customary early
session pace after a spirited start.
The House is expected to pass be-
fore nightfau the two hundred sixty
seven million dollar deficiency bill
for the Army, Navy and anti-spy
force which President Roosevelt aug
mented under the September emer-
geney proclamation.
The Senate is in recess until Mon
day. One Senator said it might be
impossible to cut a hundred million
dollars from the defense appr0pria-
lions to use for farm parity pay
ments, making it unnecessary to
levy any additional taxes for IL
nancing farm payments.
