Juice of one lemon,
One and one-half teaspoons of salt,
One teaspoon of paprika.
Now drain and pat dry twenty-five oysters. Add to sauce and heat slowly until boiling point is reached. Cook for five minutes and then fill into shells and serve at once.
STEAMED OYSTERS
Scrub the oysters in the shell and place in a colander over a pot of boiling water. Cover closely until the shell opened and the oyster starts to curl. Remove from the steamer and lift off the flat shell, serving in the deep shell with lightly seasoned melted butter, celery and slice of lemon.
SWEET POTATOES
Sweet potatoes are the roots or tubes of a vine-like plant; it is a native of tropical climate, but it is grown in states as far north as New York. The delicious yams of the southern states and the West Indies are made into many attractive foods. The food value of the sweet potato is closely allied to that of the white potato, but it contains from 4 to 10 per cent. sugar, where the ordinary white potato has no sugar. And, then, too, this common vegetable will provide a variety of delectable dishes.
