To Mrs. j. r. Meg, Arlington,
who would like food ideas for
picnics.

Here are two casserole meals If
you would like a change from the
usual picnic fare.

potatoes, pared; frarkfurters, 1
egg, beaten; 2 cups milk, salt and
pepper to taste, buttered crumbs,
grated American cheese. Into a
buttered casserole slice 4 Of the po-
tatoes into ls-inch slices. On these
arrange the frankfurters, then slice
the remaining potatoes over the top.

lightly remember that wieners are
well seasoned) and pour over the
contents of the casserole. Sprinkle
the top Sparingly with buttered
crumbs and grated cheese, and bake
slowly at $50 degrees about an hour,

Noodles and Pork Chops-Six loin
chops, 2 medium sized onions sliced
l half-pound package noodles, un-

sauce or Al sauce, salt and pepper

frying pan, then transfer to a big
casserole. Add onions, uncooked
noodles and seasonings. Cover with
tomato soup and water, cover cas-
serole and bake one hour in a slow

For equally good results without
heating the oven, use deep frying

Brown the chops in it, add the other
and cook very slowly
on top of the stove or the grill. Add
more water if it cooks dry.
BAKED BEANS.
fFrom Mrs. T. E. D., Arlinoton.) /
In recipes for baked beans appear
ing recently, one is told to discard
the water in which beans are soak
ed. I was once advised against this
practice by nutritionist of a ma
tlonal service organization as many
valuable food elements are thus lost. /
The beans should be thoroughly 1
washed, drained, put to soak and |
then boiled in same water, adding |
more water if necessary. Also toll

be checked occasionally during bak-
Ing process and water added. i'll

BOLSTERS.
From Mrs. S. J. K, WASHINGTON. J I
For Mrs. T. NJ. S. have Just had |
holsters and slipcovers made for a |
Hollywood bed and it is assuming
the role Of couch very nicely in /
my living room. I don't believe
these holsters could be made at home |
very successfully, as they should be
stuffed with an enormous amount
Of cotton batting which, I should !
think, would be difficult to obtain.
had rectangular 14-inch square
bolster made for the back and arm
holsters 8 inches square. Most of
the magazines seem to show back
bolster the same size as side holsters,
but I should think that would make
a rather uncomf Portable piece, since
standard Hollywood beds are 38
inches or 80 inches wide.
