May 10, 1865.—The military court to try the conspirators who are charged with responsibility for the assassinatio of President Lincoln, and the ltumpug assassination of other officials of the Federal Goverment on the same night last month, met today behind closed | doors to complete its organization. The trial will be held in the peniten- tiary building at the Washington Ar- senal, at the entrance of the Washing- ton Channel. The alleged conspirators are now confined there in chains and in separate cells. A large room on the second floor has been fitted up as & court room. It will hold about 300 per- sons comfortably. Judge Advocate Holt is presiding, and the other members of the court are ar- ranged around a long table on the north side of the room. Judge Holt is being assisted by Judge Bingham of Ohio and by Judge Burneft, both of whom are regarded as skillful lawyers. The lawyers selected by Herold and Dr. Mudd have notified the court that they will not be able to appear on ac- count of the pressure of other business, so0 that other defense counsel for these two men will have to be chosen. : as been reported that Hon.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “Call Roger this morning, Peter, as soon as you get to the office and ask him to come oyer to dinner this eve- ning. = Tell him he won't need to stand on politeness and stay one minute after dinner. He can rush right over to Lois and Ann at the hospital. We under- stand all that. But I do want him to come over here so we can make him envious of our young son. What's a daughter to a son like ours, eh, Peter?” Roger came, and while he paid at- tention to wee Peter, Nancy could see he was secretly thinking that his daugh- ter was much, oh, much more wonder- ful than any little boy. She forgave him that and felt complimented at the way in which he ate her dinner. “Any- way, being a new father hash't robbed him of his appetite,” she remarked to Peter later, She served a slice of ham baked in milk, new potatoes with butter and parsley, fresh green peas, wilted let- tuce with sour cream dressing and her famous strawberry shortcake. She mixed the biscuit dough in this fashion: First she sifted the flour, then measured two cups, added to the flour one-half teaspoon Zalt, one tablespoon sugar, four teaspoons baking powder. ‘With the tips of her fingers she rubbed in four tablespoons butter. She beat one egg slightly, added two-thirds cup of milk to egg and then combined the wet and dry ingredients, mixing them quickly, lightly and deftly. She floured a board and patted the dough into inch thickness. She cut rounds, brushed half of them with melted butter and placed second round on top. These were baked in hot oven (450 degrees) and then split and covered with berries. She washed, hulled and picked over two cups berries, added six tablespoons sugar and let berries stand for an hour before putting them on short cake, Write to Nancy Page. car of this paper, f you are interested in recelving sugges- tions for salads.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX ]DEAR MISS DIX: Iam a widow and would like for you to tell me how I can interest & widower who I think would make a good husband. Would it be proper for me to invite him to my house for some meal? MRS. FORTY-TWO. Answer. It certainly would not only be proper but the best possible approach you could make toward “selling” yourself to him as a wife, as the bond salesmen say. “Feed the brute” was the succinct advice given ages ago by some Lady | Solomon as a never-failing way of appealing to men. And the recipe still works. | Men will always eat out of the hand of the woman who holds out angels’ food to them. If the shortest way to all men’s hearts is through their stomachs, it is an air-line route to a widower's. For he is nearly always a hungry man, a man starving for home cooking. He is fed up with club and restaurant and cafeteria cooking and he feels as if he would shriek if he ever saw another made dish or had to eat another a la this or fish for another morsel of food smothered in a sauce supreme. What he yearns for is plain, wholesome, honest-to-goodness meat and vegetables and ple cooked as his departed Maria used to cook them. So bait your hook for your widower with an invitation to dinner, and if you want to make a catch don't have any flummery about it. Cut out the exotic salads and the fancy dishes and the conondrum desserts and put the loud pedal on the kind of good, substantial food, perfectly cooked, that a man could eat 365 days a year and still have his digestion unimpaired and be asking for more. For what a man really marries for when he marries the second time is a home and home cooking. When a man marries the first time he is a boy, with sentiment and romance and inexperience, and he enters into the holy estate beileving it is going to be an earthly Paradise, without a thorn among its roses. He finds out better. He discovers that marriage, like everything else on earth, has its drawbacks. He finds that it takes money to run a family and that a man practically sells himself into slavery when he gets married. He ascertains that wives are Kkittle-cattle to deal with, and that even the best | among them has nerves and tempers and is given to nagging and has frritating | little personal habits and ways, | Most young wives make their husbands promise during the honeymoon that if they should die that they will never marry again, and it is a vow that as the years go on the husbands renew with increasing fervor and unction, for in their secret souls they are saying to themselves never again. They are perfectly sure lllut i e‘:r they are free once more, wild horses couldn't drag them to the altar aga So the newly made widower is quite sincere when he tells you that he will never marry again, and at first he cannot deny even to himself that, no matter how much he mourns the dear departed, there is a consolation in being one's own man again, in being able to come and go as one pleases, in being able to eat what one likes without being told how bad it is for one's stomach, in being able to spend one’s money on oge’s self. And then after a while the joys of widowhood begin to pall upon the man. He finds out that he misses even being nagged and having somebody to quarrel with who doesn't take him too seriously, and he misses having somebody who will listen to his symptoms and think he is going to have pneumonia every time he gets a cold and who will fetch the hot-water bottle and have just what he likes to eat, and to whom he can brag as he would not dare to brag to any man on earth. He gets tired of having to think what he wants to eat and remember to send out the laundry and of coming back at night to a dark room, and then he decides to get married, and-any widow can have him who knows her groceries. So go to it, Mrs. Forty-two, with your little table spread for two and your shaded lights and bread like mother used to make and a good, old-fashioned, home-cooked dinner, and if your fish doesn't rise to that bait nothing will catch him. And after dinner, while he smokes in placid content, ask him to tell you the story of his life, % If you want to add a final touch to the picture, sew on something. You remember the little shirt that Becky Sharp, that arch vamp who knew how to get her man, was always sewing on when men called upon her, and that she was | 50 long in making that her son got to be a grown man before it was finished. But it served its purpose. A hint to the wise. DOROTHY DIX. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. ‘There is a strong popular belief, shared or inspired by many physicians and health authorities, that physical exhaustion makes one more susceptible to sickness, especially to respiratory in- fections. ‘The common respiratory in- fections which I designate indiscrimi- nately as “cri” include coryza, tonsilitis, quinsy, acute laryngitis, acute bronchi- tis, pneumonia, influenza, cerebro-spinal meningitis, diphtheria, measles, acute poliomyelitis, scarlet fever, whooping cough, pulmonary tuberculosis, mumps, in some parts of the world pneumonic plague. The notion that physical ex- haustion predisposes to disease applies to any of these specific diseases men- tioned, as well as to other attendant or complicating troubles, such as pleurisy, sinusitis, acute mastoiditis, middle ear inflammation, acute muitiple arth- ritis and the like. All such ill- nesses are assoclated in the layman's mind with physical exhaustion.' There is a vague idea that one must first be weakened somehow or one’s “resistance” must be lowered before such illness is likely to occur. ‘Well, there may be a wee small grain of truth in that. If there is, it is so very small that it is scarcely worth worrying about in any circumstances. Of course I don’t know whether there is any truth in the notion or not; nei- ther does any other doctor or health authority. So I maintain that until we do know something about this we doc- tors and health authorities are not morally justified in warning or worry~ ing the laity about a hypothetical “low- ering of resistance” or in publishing rules for keeping up resistance. The threadbare advice of the health authorities, in time of flu or pneumonia epidemic, about the importance of “se- curing plenty of fresh air and good nourishing food” 1is never taken seri- ously by anybody, anyway. Doesn’t every one try to do that all the time, as a matter of instinct? Some one sends me an imposing plac- ard distributed by the health depart- ment of an Eastern city. It contains the usual rules for the prevention of what the health officer calls “colds” (of course he doesn’t define what they are) and among them-I find only one that is worth while. It says: “Keep away from persons who have colds, for the germs are carried in the spray given off when such persons cough or sneeze.” Very good, so far as it goes. But even if you could duck in time to dodge the spray of cough or sneeze, you'd still be in danger if you remained within 5 fect of the person with the respiratory infection while he talked with you. This is the most likely way to caich cri, probably the way respira- tory infections are spread the ma- Jority of cases. Dainty Confection. ‘Take two eggs and not quite a cupful of sugar.

(Copyrizht, 1930.) A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Keep Up Your Spirit. “Neither was there spirit in them any ‘more.”—Joshua v-1. ‘With the spirit gone out of them, it is not surprising that these Amorites and Canaanites were unable to put up any resistance against the Israelites who were invading their land. I would about as soon have an army without any fighting equipment as to have one without a fighting spirit. A dispirited army would be just about as easy to whip as a disarmed one. ‘The same thing is true when it comes to fighting life's battles. A dispirited | man is easily licked. When the spirit goes out of a man, he simply can't fight. He lacks the heart to stand up against trouble and disaster. Let any little misfortune befall him and he is ready to run up the white flag of sur- render. The worst sobt of bankruptcy one can suffer is to become bankrupt in faith and courage. No matter what losses you suffer, you are not “broke” as long as your spirit is not broken. Of these Amorites and Canaanites it is said, “Their heart melted.” That is, their hearts failed. Heart failures ac- count for most of the failures in life. As long as a man keeps a brave heart and fights on he is never a failure. Let & man lose heart and he becomes a pathetic figure. He imagines his dif- ficulties and troubles to be worse than they are. He is apt to think that the gods have picked him out as one to trample upon. He is apt to grow morbid and sullen. And when one gets into that state, he is a beaten man. To fight a winning battle, you must keep up your spirit. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in Etiquette. BY JOS. J. FRISCH. BEDTIME STORIES Wisdom of Nanny.

The old can in which Nanny Meadow Mouse had escaped from Flip the Ter- rier was a gallon can which had once contained ofl. It was square at each end, or top and bottom, as you please. In one corner of the top was the round hole by which Nanny had entered. You see, the can was lying on one side. She was a badly frightened Meadow Mouse when she went in there. She went in because it was the only place that offered safety. Once inside she simply lay there panting, her Mttle IN AND OUT O THE OLD CAN NANNY RAN. heart going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat with fright. = She could hear Flip sniffing around outside. He hadn't seen her when she darted into that hole. Of course, he saw that old can, but he didn't give it a thought. Finally he went away. Nanny remained right where she was for a long time after Flip had gone. She kept expecting Danny Meadow Mouse. Danny didn't come. Finally Nanny ventured outside. She would go look for Danny. But when she got outside she didn’t know which way to turn. You see, she had been so confused by Flip that she had lost ES. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS her sense of direction. So finally she went back to that old can. “T'll stay here a while,” said Nanny to herself. “Danny is sure to come looking for me, so the wisest thing to do is to remain right here.” is was a very ‘ensible thing to do, especially as she had no idea in which direction to look for Danny. Having the usual amount of feminine curlosity, she whiled away the time by very carefully examining that old can, She went all; around it. She jumped up on it. She went in and out of it a dozen times. Presently she forgot all about her Danny. Yes, sir, she for- got all about her Danny. She had be- come so interested in that old can that all though of Danny left her. “This would make a wonderful home,” said Nanny. “I could build a nest inside this thing and it would be & regular castle. I believe I'll make a bed in there just to try it. That's what I'll do—I'll make a bed in here and just see how it goes.” So Nanny straightway began cutting grass and taking it into that old can. She was a very busy small person. Forgotten was_all her fright. Forgotten was the fact that Danny was lost. She was just happy in what she was doing and that is a fine way to be. In and out of the old can Nanny ran. Every time she went in she had a mouthful of soft grass—soft dry grass, that would make the very finest kind of a bed. By and by she had enough in the end of the old can to curl up in comfortably. By this time Nanny was tired. She was tired enough to want a nap. So she curled up in the bed of dry grass and no sooner was she nicely curled up than she fell asleep. You see, as 1 sald before, she was tired. She fell asleep inside the old can and while she slept Danny Meadow Mouse wen? straight past the old can. You see, when Danny finally escapec from Flip the Terrier he at once startec to look for Nanny. By that time he could no longer find her scent with his nose, so all he could do was to go ir the direction in which he had last seer her going. He knew what that gen- eral direction was, and, although he didn't follow her footsteps exactly, he ‘was near enough to the direction to pass that old can. He didn't pass the end where the entrance was; he passed the other end. So, of course, he had no idea that he was so near Nanny. He kept on going and with every step he felt more and more lonesome.

In present schemes for interior deco- ration each item in a room becomes an element or feature not alone of utility but of ornamental value. Time was, for instance. when tbwels and bed linens were indispensable accessories in a chamber or bed room suite, but they could not be said to contribute anything toward the actual. decoration. They were superior or inferfor according to their quality and ormmamental in the pattern of the weave. White was preferred orminally, to be varied later by the introduction of color in borders, embroidered initials and monograms. ‘Bed linens remained en- tirely white. Both the items under dis- cussion could be and often were ex- quisite and-handsome furnishings with- out contributing in any but a minor way to the decoration. Today one of the noteworthy changes in decoration pertains to these articles. ‘They have become features to decorative plans because they are brought out in colors to suit every scheme, and in de- signs to conform to various types of decoration. Cost does not bar home- makers from including these colorful accessories in their rooms, as they come in cotton as well as linen and in prices to cheer the purse. There are sheets in solid colors and in white with col- ored borders and hems only. There are designs modernistic, floral and conven- tional. There are towels with the en- tire surfaces of patterns in reverse color schemes on right and wrong sides, and there are others with centers dappled | with small motifs in white or color and having borders of color, ete. -Modern~ | istic designs are the last word in pat-| terns, but it must be remembered that the style of chamber, bath room or kitchen in which the towels are to be used must influence selection. Designs should be appropriate as well as color correct.

The design covers the| entire surface of each towel, and the| weave and finish make the textile well | suited to this purpose. Colors are avail- | able to accord with a wide variety of | schemes. The widths and lengths are found practical for this use. As the towels are completely finished. no sew- ing is necessary except to stitch a nar- row strip of cotton cloth along the top, through which to run a curtain rod or to attach rings for the same pur- pose. ‘This is but one of many novel uses to which these dainty and inexpensive towels can be put. They make attrac- tive covers for kitchen tables and bags for dusters, etc. As hand and dish towels, they afford opportunities to in- clude other elements of beauty into| modern. kitchens. As bath room fur- nishings they permit of complete en- sembles gratifying to the eye, since sets including all sizes and kinds of towels with a bath mat to match are the vogue.
