"A place for everything and
everything in its place" is the
watchword of a good house
keeper, and the kitchen in this
respect needs more attention
than any other room in the
house. The table should be
placed near the fire, so that
there need be no running back
ward and forward when cook
ing. Close to the table should
be a cupboard, holding salt,
spices, vinegar. lavorings and
all the little odds and ends that
one constantly uses in cooking.
Around the sides of the cup

Paint brushes are as good as

HUNT SUICIDE IN
 NEW JERSEY MINE
Two Day Search, However, Fails
 to Find Body

North Arlington, N. J., Aug, SR Snakes wriggled underfoot and bats flapped overhead In pitch black caverns Of the abandoned copper mine here today while three police- men searched seventy-five feet un- derground for tho body of the man or woman whose initialed suicide note was found yesterday near one of the mine shafts.
 Two Montclair boys. proving about the mine to investigate a leg end of local youth that the place was haunted, found the note fasten- ed to tree. It was written in pen ell, barely decipherable, and read;
 Good bye, cruel world. l am sick of living, I'd better be dead, Notify my folks
 "L. H. S"
 The two boys took the note to Chief of Police Michael Sallman of North Arlington. Sallman called Samuel Goodbody and George Ship pc. the borough's two other police men, and they began to search the ten shafts of the mine. They had finished only three shafts by night fall and renewed their search yes- terday. Hoisting apparatus at the top of the shafts had decayed, so the policemen lowered each other with a rope and pulley.
 Only two men went at a time. Shippc, the heavier of the three, went first, followed by Goodbody. Sallman remained above to pull them bac 10 the surface. Iron rods extending down the sides of the shafts at either side of foot holds enabled the men below to as. sist the man above by pulling them, selves up hand over hand,
 Shippo and Goodbody carried flash lights. They searched first the shafts near the tree on which the note was found, believing that the supposed suicide might have jumped into one of them.
 Twenty feet from the bottom of one of the shafts the policemen found a pool of water, This they dragged all the afternoon thinking it possible that if person had jumped into this shaft the body might have fallen into the water and drowned.
 After Shippe and Goodbody had worked for a while, Shippe was drawn ID and Sallman went down to help Goodhody, who was later re- lieved by Shippe. Each of the po- licemen took turns at working with another, but after searching all day they found no trace of a body.
 It was suggested the note may he the work of practical joker, but the police take 1t seriously.

PRAISES INDIANS
Without Science or Knowledge of Chemistry, The Red Man Was First Chemist, Says Speaker.

Los Angeles, Aug. s R)-James A. Branagan of Philadelphia, put the Indian on a pedestal of science at the American Chemical society's sessions here with the declaration that the aborigine was the first chemist on this continent.
 The Indian, he said, knew nothing of chemistry and geology as we un- derstand these terms, but he was quick to take advantage of chemical combinations and geological condi- tions In his surroundings.
 To prove his point, the speaker cited his method of making flint ar rowheads, spears and knives by using piece of bone secured or soaked in ashes and water. He also pointed to the Indians ability to tan hid4s, make glue from fish scales, water proof canoe seams with pitch, tem- per clay for pottery and dye his clothing.
 On the subject Of the nations food supply Dr. Charles H. Herty of | New York said that chemistry had forever freed this country from the danger of sugar shortage by the production of sweetening substance from corn.
