finding this morning of the body of
Mrs. Bessie Hollistre, a choir singer,

Frank Hollister, of the printing firm
of Hollister Brothers, in a vacant lot
in the rear of a carpenter shop on
ed with another murder mystery A
copper wire of the size for telephones
was encircled around Mrs. HOLSTERS
neck. She had been strangled to
death apparently or the strand was
used in dragging her body. Mrs. Hol-
lister left home at $50 o'clock yester-
day morning to sing at the funeral OF
a friend She signified her intention
of doing some shopping first. She had
plenty of money. The last trace OF
her was at the florists, where she
bought flowers for her friends casket
She probably did not commit suicide
and the police advocate the theory OF
murder for robbery.
This afternoon the police say that
Richard WINS, who reported the lind
ing of the body of Mrs. Hollister In
lot back of mis- fathers shop, has con-
fessed that he seized the woman as
she passed the shop at 6:45 o'clock last

her. Her outcries became SO loud that
he strangled her.

He Has Little Sympathy With the
Rebellous Students Of the

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 13.-Pro-
fessor Frederick Wright, of Oberlin

that ultimately the Bourgeois will OBJ

time. There is now too much liberty
in many respects. There is too much
bureaucracy at the top and an excess
of liberty at the bottom. Students are

basis. An effort will be made to have
identical equipment and the same

emesgency ration, there might. proht-
ably be similar uniformity in the med

greatly impressed by the reports re-
ceived from the military observers In
Manchuria, and has learned that the
Japanese have reduced the policy OF
uniformity to most psactical and
profitable system. To the end that
there may be a like advantage to the
medical branches of the two services

SEE TO THE KITCHEN.

Just so long as people live princi-
ally upon cooked food, Just so long
will cooking and the kitchen be, as
they are now, exceedingly important
features of every household, impossi-
BILE to ignore or overlook with i'm
punity.
Many good cause has been lost
for the time being and many a
bright future has been darkeued by
some ones Indigestion. Indigestion
is at the root of almost as many of
hunlanity's troubles as selishness it
self. But, of course, ignorance is at
the root of them all Whenever peo-
pie know better they avoid and es-
cape the woes that come through ig-
norance.
Without a good digestion health
is impossible, and lack of health is
misery. Poor cooking produces about
as much indigestion as bad temper.
In fact, it is a case Of action and re-
action. Indigestion, low spirits, bad
temper. Bad temper, low spirits, in
digestion, and so on interminably.
Bad cooking, bad temper, low spirits
all belong together. They propagate
each other. Since poorly cooked food
produces indigestion, poor cooking
should be abolished, says Woman's
Life. 1t can be abolished by all those
who set about it by paying attention
to having the very best possible cook
ing Tor each meal, however simple it
may be.
