JUDGE RASSIEUR DIES.
Civil War Character Succumbs to
Infirmities of Age.

ST. LOUIS. June l (P).--Leo S. Ras-
sieur, IS, commander Of the Grand
Army of the Republic in 1900 and for
mer judge of the Probate Court, died
at his home here this afternoon. Death
was due to the infirmities of age. A ma
tive of Prussia, he was brought to ST.
Louis in early childhood. He enlisted in
the LIST Missouri Volunteers, and was
mustered out as major of the 18th Mis-
souri, Infantry in 1865, then only 81
years old.
Judge Rassieur was instrumental in
blocking the attempt to align members
of the Turner Societies with the Con-
federates, interrupting one meeting by
calling for loyal Union men to follow
him from the hall. He was said to have
been the gallant Richter in Winston
Churchills novel of the Civil War, THE
Crisis"

Desserts to Suit Various Needs


may be called substitute desserts. One
such Is found in buttered toast with
honey or maple syrup. Another Is
gingerbread with milk or cream. Still
a third Is nodded rice. farina or hon.
my, preferably from the cereal of the
day previous, as 1t then loses its aspect
of leftover from breakfast. Crate
maple sugar over the top, II the cereal
is white, or sprinkle lightly with
shredded cocoanut or few nut crumbs,
If 1t is dark. A large raisin, maris-
chino cherry. a bit of date or a half
nut may top each mold when 1t Is
served. giving suggestion of dressy
dessert to what is really cereal. Junket,
colored pink or green, and topped with
a spoonful Of whipped cream or marsh
mallow, is real dessert. but 1t Is so
simple it Is no trouble to prepare. The
important matter is to make the dish
have the look of a dessert while 1t is
very simple and wholesome.
On the days when the milk puddings
are served or such plain desserts as suit
the little folk. but not the man of the
house, an equal amount Of thoughtful
ness should be paid to his likes and
dislikes.
Some special dessert may be given
him that may be homemade or come
from some good food shop. Cholcolate
cellars or French pastries can be
bought singly and at small cost when
but one or two are purchased.
The double quantity is mentioned in
case the wife also has her preferences
for the richer desserts. 1t is a mistake
for the woman not to consider her own
appetite as we'll as that of the other
members of the family. She is apt to
be so engrossed in getting what is
wholesome and tempting to others that
she forgets herself. Every one should be
satisfied. and can be. by giving proper
attention to individual needs.

pandruff and Other Questions.

Dear Miss Leeds: Cd How can I get
rid of dandruff2 (2) Would a henna
rinse hurt my hair, and does it wash
out in time? go I am 18 years old,
feet 2 inches tall What should my
weight and measurements be?
CONSUELO.
Answer-O A moderate amount of
dandruff is natural. 1t is the scaling
off of the dead skin as it is replaced
by new skin from below. Scalp mas
sage, brushing and regular shampoos
will keep the dandruff from accumu-
lating. When the amount of dandruff
Is excessive and very dry, hot oil treat
ments should be given once week. A
little mineral oil or vaseline may also
be- rubbed into the scalp every day.
In the case of oily dandruff, a hair
tonic or antiseptic lotion containing al
cohol may be used several times a
week. The scales should be looSened
and brushed out with fine comb be-
fore the shampoo.
90 The henna rinse is used for
