SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS

Are tomatoes being used in your household as freely as their fine quality and low price would suggest?
Fresh tomatoes eaten sliced, in salads or cooked in any of almost numberless ways, are popular in most households.
Corn and lima beans are also at their cheapest but they must be carefully chosen for quality.
Bartlett pears, seedless grapes and apples are usually plentiful and cheap.
Other good fruit values will be found in plums, peaches, and honeydew melons.
Beef prices are still tending higher, veal is steady, pork prices are somewhat lower and lamb offers best value.
Poultry, egg and butter prices are up but eggs and butter are still lower than last year.
The following menus are chosen from seasonable reasonably priced foods.

Shoulder Lamb Chops
Creamed Potatoes
Cole Slaw Stuffed Tomatoes
