14 DES M0rN13 Sep. 19 oston ver in, Saturday it Beans Here are favorites that she's tried many times. Mrs. Thurston's Boston Baked Beans jr 'P '4 pound lean salt pork cup dark molasses 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon dry mustard 2 cups dry yellow-eye beans (navy or pea beans will do) 1 big onion, cut In eighths 1 tart apple, chopped Wash beans in colander. Cover with water and soak overnight.

Simmer gently until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, but save cooking water. Put half the beans in a 2-quart bean pot. Add apple, onion and half the salt pork, which has been diced. Add remaining beans.

Mix together remaining ingredients and 2V2 cups of the cooking water and pour over beans. Top with remaining salt pork. Bake at 300 degrees for 5 or 6 hours. Add more of the bean water or some boiling water when needed. Uncover pot during last half hour to brown the top.

Serves 6 to 8. It takes a lot of beans and things to feed the Thurstons. They have six youngsters: Jeff, 15; Donnie, 14; Pam, Bruce, 7, and 5-year-old twins Mark and David. Active In Clubs Joan and Don are active in three A. groups, Roosevelt, Valley and Clive.

Joan also is president of Dorcas group of Plymouth Congregational Church and she and Don belong to a church couples' club. While Joan has to do a lot of cooking because of her big family, she does a lot of extra cooking because she likes it. She has cookbooks galore and a suit box stuffed with clipped recipes. "When I have time I'm going to try every one of thess recipe she explained. "By then I'll probably be so old I'll have no teeth to chew with, and we'll have no children at home to help eat it.

But the cooking will be fun." they prefer her velvet fudge cake to Boston cream pie. Often, there is New England Indian pudding that benefits by low, slow baking needed for beans. Fish Day Friday is fish day in New England for Protestants as well as Catholics, Joan explained. This is reasonable because of closeness to supply. And she feels Iowans are unreasonable in their estimation of fish here.

She thinks our supermarket halibut is terrific, and she is fond of the frozen rock lobster tails available here, even though she goes lobstering when she goes back east. A cousin has a blueberry farm in Maine and it's only a short walk through his blueberries and pasture to lobster pots on the coast. One of her favorite blueberry recipes, incidentally, is for cheesecake and she got it from her next-door neighbor in Des Moines, Mrs. Tom Hyland. By Jean Tallman (The Tribune'! Food Editor) As it is the custom to get up in the morning and go to bed at night, to decorate a tree at Christmas and go to work each workday, so it is the custom for a New Englander to eat baked beans on Saturday night.

We'd always heard it, but we'd really never believed it. For there are many food fables and it seemed logical to consider this a legend. It isn't. The fact has been substantiated by a charming woman and a good cook whose ancestors and husband's ancestors all were New Englanders. She is Mrs.

Donald Thurston, 1236 Seventy-first who moved here four years ago from Leominster, just outside of Boston. Joan Thurston thought it strange that we thought it strange to eat baked beans every Saturday night. "What in the world," she asked in quizzical manner, "would you eat on Saturday nigkt if you didn't eat beans?" We suggested any number of foods, which didn't suit her one bit In her mind baked beans seem to put a period to the week, and the world wouldn't be quite right without them. Beans Bubble Every Saturday in cool weather beans bubble all day in a huge bean pot in her oven. Most of the time they're Boston, made with dry beans, dark molasses and salt pork.

Sometimes they're shortcut Iowa baked beans made with canned pork and beans from the recipe of neighbor Mrs. Dale Stilwell. If it's too hot and it's Saturday, Joan simply opens cans of pork and beans. Boston brown bread to go with Boston baked beans isn't quite so traditional with the Thurstons. When they have It she buys it.

They prefer her good homemade yeast bread. And 1 Indian l.i run tanioca i cup cornmeal 1 quart milk, scalded 1 1 cup molasses Mix together tapioca and cornmeal and stir into hot milk. Stir and cook until tapioca becomes transparent. Add molasses, salt and butter and pour into buttered baking dish. Pour cold milk in without stirring.

Your Baby and Mi'ne By Myrtle Meyer Eldred The 2-year-old, surprisingly enough, will be able to eat most of the foods which are served at the family table. They should be cooked simply, not only because it is easier for the mother, but because good foods do not need elaborate "fixing," to be palatable. The following are some suggestions which will suit the whole family.

For breakfast a fruit juice, a hot or cold cereal, a scrambled egg with toast (whole wheat buttered) and milk for the children, coffee or other drinks for the adults. As an occasional treat try, instead of the cereal, waffles and honey, French toast or pancakes with syrup. At mid-morning all little folks want something to eat. This can be half a glass of milk flavored with prune juice, (wonderful if constipation is a factor) half a peeled apple or orange, a graham or arrowroot cracker. The lunch selections will depend upon whether the father is at home and this is the big meal of the day, or whether it is truly a lunch with "dinner" being served at night.

For a lunch meal serve some sort of soup, a sandwich of jelly, or peanut butter or cheese; or, rice cooked in milk or tomato juice plus a nice, fruity salad with cottage cheese. With either one of these a simple dessert. For the mid-afternoon you are too informal, he may have a point Keep his criticism in mind. Ann T-anders will he happy to help you wilh your problem.

1 T.X -r Dear Ann Landers: I'm a married woman in my middle twenties, and a friendly person by na-ture. Now I'm having trouble with my husband due to my friendliness. He went hopping with me Sat urday and the butcher called me "Honey." Then we passed a filling station and one of the garage mechanics greeted me by my first name. A few minutes later the man in the hardware store made some remark about how nice I looked. My husband said I should not let these people put themselves in my social class.

I don't think this has anything to do with social class. I just happen to have a warm personality and that's all there is to it. Just Friendly Ann Landers says: There's nothing wrong with being pleasant to fellow human beings regardless of the type of work they do. Sometimes, however, It's soap or cream or petroleum jelly. If your brows are thin, fill in with very fine strokes, using a sharply-pointed eyebrow pencil.

The sharpness of the point is most essential if you wish to achieve a natural appearance. Use the pencil with a light touch. The arch of the brow is Important. It should be slightly darker than the rest of the brow, so that it is emphasized. This should not be extreme, but subtle.

If you wish to make the arch of your brow3 higher than they naturally are, remove a very few hairs from underneath the brows and add a very few lines with your pencil at the top of the brows at the arch. After plucking and shaping with the pencil, use a very light application of powder. Then brush the powder off the hairs carefully with a little brush. The powder banishes the waxy look which the pencil may cause. Good grooming and flattering make-up of the brows and lashes can make a tremendous difference in the Landers 1 S3 Tips for High Brows -V i Mrs.

fVhy Grow Old? By Josephine Lowman The mission of make-up is to bring out your best features and to play down or compensate for any defects. Here are a few facts to remember. The "hairline" brow is not attractive and is old-fashioned looking. Therefore, be careful about too much plucking. First remove the stray hairs, or those which grow outside of the natural line of your brow.

There are also usually a few hairs which grow in the wrong direction at the inner ends of the brows. Remove those. If you have hairs growing in the wrong direction in the brow itself, you can train these by using a little Miss Thomas To Be Married Announcement is made of the engagement of Penny Rosemarie Thomas, 721 Boyd and Lee Furgerson, of Waterloo.
