quilt cover which was made by my
ereat-grandmother 1t is a good 30
years old. T. is made of many small,
oGd-shaped pieces of beautiful silk
materials. Many are outlined in
feather stitch and little Brownies
are embroidered on several. I would
like to complete this quilt some day.
I've read directions for quilting, but
wonder if any one can give me ad-
vice on the best method for this
particular type of quilt.

For those who want to cut food
costs and at the same time increase
nutritional benefits, here are some
hints. Have you tried Mp. F.,
multi-purpose food, made by Meals
for Millions Foundation, Inc" 64s
South Broadway, Los Angeles IA,
Calf. We have bought 1t at the
cooperative stores. But some one
told me recently that they did not
expect to get more.
However, Ladies' Home Journal,
where first read about it, said you
could write for it. 1t is a wonder
full food. made of soy grits, onion,
protein. yeast and seasonings, spices,
vitamins and minerals. 1t is almost
one-half protein by weight and two
ounces dry equals the approximate
value of a meal of beef, peas, milk
and potatoes. You put it in three
times as much water and boil 10
minutes. 1t can be eaten plain, but
only my 2-year-old daughter really
eats it that way. 1t keeps very we'll
in the ice chest for week We
lost the article that gave many
recipes for using it, so we use it
mostly just in meat patties and
meat loaf. We use half meat and
half M. P. F. 1t has rich, delicious
favor. Any one really interested or
who wants to experiment in reduc-
ing food costs could develop many
ways to use it. 7 could rave on
about it but had better stop. How
ever, II you can't find it in the stores
do send away for some. Remember,
it is not meat substitute, but a
protein food.
Also in the meat line, do you
regularly use liver, kidneys and
brains. which are far cheaper and
have greater nutritional value than
many other cuts of meat? 1t
wouldn't be a week end If we didn't
have a kidney and a package of
frozen brains for Dad to cook. You
may have to experiment to cook a
kidney just right. Like liver, it is
cooked only short time or it gets
tough. We boil the brains with a
bay leaf and slice of lemon. Then
slice them, break an egg or two over
them Cor beaten eggs and fry a
few minutes. They are delicious.
My 2-year-old loves these, too. 1

Richfie|d Dairy Claim
In Milk Case Settled

The Commissioners have de-
cided they will give the Richfield
Dairy the benefit of milk rates
for which the United States Court
of Appeals may hold the city
liable as a result of legal action
by the Wakefield Dairy.

dairies several years ago for its
penny milk program. the District
provided it would adhere to any
increase granted by the Office of
Price Administration.

granted through marketing
agreement under Agriculture De-
partment rules, but the Corpora
ton Counsel ruled the Commis-
sioners were not subject to that
increase. q
The Wakefield Dairy brought
suit in District Court for the
amount claimed to be due. but
the court sustained the Corpora
ton Counsel's opinion and dis
missed the suit.
An appeal to the Court Of
Appeals was argued in November,
but no decision has been forth
coming.
In a letter to the city heads
yesterday, w. Gwynn Gardiner,
attorney. noted that the statute
of limitations would bar the Rich
field Dairy from taking legal
action after September 80. He
wrote he had advised the Rich
field firm not to take action pre-
viously because he felt the Cor
poration Counsel's opinion was
correct and because he felt that
