Enters Prison

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 10 (ANP)
Sen. Charles G.. Diggs began
serving a three to five year prison
sentence when he came here to
straighten out legal matters per-
tanning to his case. Sen. Diggs was
convicted on a charge of conspir-
ing to corrupt the 1889 state legis-
lature.
Diggs was imprisoned when
Judge John Simpson cancelled his
bond, an action taken upon recon-
mendation Of Special Prosecutor
Kim Sigler. Sigler explained that
the time for an appeal from the
sentence had expired. The court,

from either Diggs or his attorney,
Harold E. Bledsoe of Detroit, and
the former Michigan state senator
lost his right to appeal.
Indicted along with 19 other de-
PENDANTS for conspiracy to corrupt

A trick many women are using and one that you might like to copy --for ennobling scarce facial tissues that serve as hankies is to pack 3 daily supply in attractive purse cases. Some of these cases are old bill folders covered with scraps of silk. Others are discarded cigaret cases coated brightly with lacquer finese. cashed the ace of hearts, and showed as neatly inside your bag as the squares of linen and lace that they replace A counted-out days supply of tissues, each sepa- rately folded and carried tidily in container, is good trick fo- elf-rationing.

 Beef In Burgundy
 (Serves Al
 One and one quarter lbs. top util- ity round, Gut in thin pieces, 1-2 cup Burgundy wine. 1-2 cup bouil- lon, 1-4 cup mushrooms (fresh or canned ones may be used but it is a lot of trouble to buy small amounts and the foreign-type dried ones keep well and have a good fla vor), l tablespoon fat, 1 clove garlic, salt and pepper.
 Marinate the beef in the wine, bouillon, sliced mushrooms, and garlic at least hour, longer if pos Sible. Make sure that the beef is entirely covered, as the soaking in the wine tenderizes it. If necessary add more wine or bouillon. Put the fat in a skillet, pour in the beef, mushrooms and marinate. Simmer slowly for 1 hour. Add salt and pepper. The juice may be thick ened with a little flour but the very fine fusion of flavors will taste bet- ter without t. Serve in a deep platter.

 The physician consoled her with the knowledge that her father didn't know what he was doing, and also relieved the anguish of the final days with Sedatives that made the situation much less difficult for the patient and the family.
 Several examples of heroic nursing by family members in their homes have come to my attention during this war One woman who had been accustomed to servants in wealthy home, and to the services of spe- cialiSts in medicine and nursing at times of even minor illness, found herself faced with a servantless household, no nurse, and only an occasional visit from an elderly phy- sician during her mothers fatal ill., ness.

 '"The thing that carried me through she said, twas knowing that the nurses and doctors had been accustomed to having serve me were overseas working in evacuation hospitals. Somehow I remembered their calm poised ways and adopted them. never shed tear in my mothers presence, and the doctor thought I must have had nurses training because I carried out his orders so well. He assured me that I had done everything that could have been done to make mother com- fortable and happy"
 These are days that are hard for those who are carrying on at home as well as those who minister to the wounded on the battle fronts. The brave home nurse will learn the hard lesson of self-control and face her duties without flinching.
