KITCHEN
Can Be Made Attractive BY
Bits OF color

Has it ever occurred to you that for
the same amount Of money an attrac-
tive rather than an unattractive kitch-
en- can be made? This part of the
house, where the housemother spends
much of her time, receives little con-
sideration along convenient or attrac-
tive lines. Why not have 1t pretty?
There are so many ways it can be
done, says the Mothers Magazine.
The walls of the kitchen can be
painted with yellow or delft blue;
they can be finished in wash paint
that Is sanitary and requires very lit
tie effort to keep clean; the wood
work can be white or 1t may be q
darker shade Of yellow, both Of which
take very little time to keep clean.
The shelves may be covered with
I white enamel, or oilcloth, neatly put
on with brass headed nails If the
closet room is limited, the saucepans
may hang from brass hooks on the
walls, ranging from the smallest to
the largest sizes. A series of brass
hooks is placed over the sink like
those at the sides Of the shelves and
on these are hung different sizes OF
enamel spoons, dippers and measures;
the dishpan and drainer are kept out
of sight in the sink closet.
If the kitchen is finished in blue
which is very effective, roller OF
white crash with broad blue border
may be placed on the door leading to
| the pantry. Dutch curtains of the
| blue and white crash on brass rods
are placed at the windows. The kitch
| en- table, when not in use, also has q
blue and white crash cloth. Under
meath one of the windows two pine
shelves may be placed and painted to
match the rest of the room. They hold
the cook books, which are covered
with removable covers of the blue and
white crash.
Window boxes can be fitted for the
kitchen windows, one to hold parsley
which is most luxuriant, another tC
contain sweet alyssum, which blooms
late in the spring. and at third win
dow, plain board shelf may be placed
where sewing basket, book or mag
azine may be laid. A large rocking
chair, standing at this window, affords
restful place for odd minutes. es
pecially on busy days.

WATER
Is Turned Into Wine By
Heavy Rain Storm

Ashtabula, August 1.-THE old
Bible miracle of turning water into
wine has been performed at Harpers-
field, a few miles south of Geneva.
According to Harvey Burgett, SUBJ
stantial farmer, that section of the
county has record-breaking crop of
blackberries. A heavy storm visited
Harpersfield and hundreds of bushels
of berries were knocked from the
bushes and washed down into Bron-
son creek. This morning the water
of the little steam assumed a rich
red color and farmers going to the
creek for drink sampled the pro-
duct smacked their lips and pro-
nounced it fine article of blackberry
wine.
The mayor of Cork. this county,
plans to invoke the liquor laws
against the farmers of his vicinity
who waded into the creek to fill bot
ties and kegs. Cork is fifty miles
from saloon.

FIND A GIRLS BODY
DIAMONDS ARE GONE

The sister advanced the theory that
the girl probably had been seated
under tree near the bank, tainted
and fell into the lake. The coroner
declared that she could not have roll
ed into the lake, as the tree was sit
uated more than a hundred feet from
the bank of the lake. Mrs. Green
declared she knew of no reason why
her sister should commit suicide and
so the coroner arrived at the conclu-
sion the girl had been murdered.
A necklace set with three small
diamonds was not taken from the
body, but the rings were missing.
Tucked inside her shirtwaist was
found a letter written by a young
man employed by the Empire Lumber
Co. at Cowitchan Lake, British
Columbia, the text of which showed
that the two were soon to be mar
ried. There was no note of discord
in the missive.
DIR. Brown, of Hebron, who accom-
panied the coroner to the scene said
that upon driving away from the lake
after examining the body he met a
boy who told him that he had seen
Miss Gillard, accompanied by a man,
walking near the lake short dis
! tance from Blue Goose Point.
Superintendent Benner, of Buckeye
Lake, which is state reservoir,
measured the dead girls slipper and
then examined the ground near the
place where the body was found. He
declared that he found the footprints
of man beside those of the girl in
the soft earth near the bank of the
lake. The coroner is firm in his belief
that the girl was slain and will push
the investigation with vigor.

Newark Authorities InveSti.
eating What May Be
A Murder

Newark, O., August 14--Investiga-
tion of the finding of the body of Miss
Caryl Gillard, Columbus girl, in
Buckeye Lake at lonely spot today
near where ten colored people met
death last week in launch accident
has led Coroner Wyiarch to declare
that the girl was murdered.
Three diamond rings are missing
from the read girls hand. The coron.
er and the Newark authorities are
making a thorough investigation.
Inquiry so far by the coroner shows
that the girl was seen near the lake,
accompanied by man. Efforts to To-
cate her companion are being made.
Miss Gillard, who was twenty-five
years of age, lived at 1112 Summit
street in Columbus. With her sister,
Mrs. George Green, of Thirteenth ave.
nue., Columbus, she was stopping at
the Glass Hotel at the lake, for a two
weeks vacation.
This afternoon Miss Willard left
the hotel alone and several hours lat
er campers who were canoeing around
Blue Goose Point found her body ly'
ing in ten feet of water near the
shore. They notified the hotel au
thorities and Coroner Wyiarch was
called. When the body was taken to
shore it was found that three diamond
rings were missing from her hand
