SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS >


POTATOES are expensive but
many other vegetables are plentiful
and cheap. Beets, carrots, onions,
kohlrabi and white turnips are good
substitutes for potatoes or rice, maca-
roni, spaghetti and noodles may take
their place. Bread also makes good,
inexpensive filler.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, green pep
uers and the various salad greens are
cheap and we are in the season when
salads are especially popular.
Beef, pork and veal are all some
what lower, lamb is in the potato class
or almost prohibitive and smoked
meats are higher. Butter and eggs
are both little higher. Small and
medium whole fish are plentiful and
low in price.
Here are three menus planned for
different budget levels.
Low Cost Dinner
Meat Balls with Spaghetti

Thomas Jefferson was convinced that
his old friend and former secretary had
committed suicide; but Jefferson might
have been wrong His evidence came
from great distance; he had only the
story as related by the Grinders. Evi-
dence uncovered since Jefferson's time
changes the aspect of the case. Why
should Meriwether Lewis have COM
mitted suicide? If he was really sub
Ject to hypochondriac affections he GER
tainly had not showed evidences of such
while on his journey to the northwest
with William Clark. Throughout the
Journals Of the expedition Lewis Is
shown as a man Of unusual good hum
or. He was only 35 wears old at the
time of his death; he was a great sue
cess in the eyes Of the world; he was
looking forward to the early publica-
ton of his journals; he held posi-
ton Of rank and power as governor Of
the Louisiana Territory. Tt seems in
credible that q man who had risen to
such heights should nave taken his
own life. Members of Lewis family
did not believe him suicide, and DR..
Elliott Coues, late authority on things
Lewis and Clark, declared
that the memory Of Meriwether Lewis
should no longer be blackened by ref
erence to the suicide theory
Meriwether Lewis was buried near the
house where he met his death. For
years his resting place was unmarked
except by rude pile of stones. In 1848
