ASSEMBLY ABOLISHED
New King Does Away With Former
Legislative Body.
KINGLY RECOGNITION
The Foreign Ministers Find There Il
. Rather Delicate Question Con.
fronting Them and Which
Mnst Be Answered.

Paris. June 13.-The foreign Office
here has received a dispatch from th4
french agent on the Servian front.e'
confirming press announcement tha,
the new governmet at Belgrade had
abolished the legislative assembly ere
ated by the late King Alexander and
had renewed the ancient skupschtina
which has been ordered to assemble
next Monday for the purpose of ratify-
Ing the proclamation of Peter Kara
georgevitch as king. The assembly jus;
abolished was made up of appointee,
of the late king and did not contain a
member who was opposed to Alexan-
der's policy. The dispatch adds that
Belgrade continues quiet, the people
apparently being reconciled to the new
conditions.
Officials here doubt the truth Of the
report that Belgrade is quiet, as au-
thorities here are unable to secure fur
ther direct dispatches from Belgrade.
Even official dispatches which have
reached Paris appear to lave been mu.
tilated.
It is stated authoritatfvely that thus
far there has been no exchange of COM
munications between the powers con-
cerning Prince Peter Karageorgevitchs
assumtion of the throne of Servia. but
ofleials are beginning to seriously con-
slider the delicate question of recogni-
ton OF the new sovereignty. 1t Is e~-
pected that Servian authorities@wilI
conyoke meeting of foreign ministers
at Belgrade and present the latter with
definite evidence that the people want
the new government and that it has the
aDfiity to maintain order and guarantee
the safety of foreigners. When the
ministers shall have advised their re-
spective governments that such assur-
anees have been received the powers
will determine whether recognition
shall be accorded It is considered
probable that the powers will act to-
gether on the question Of ~iving or
Withholding recognition. 1t is further
stated that if the powers individually
or collectively protest against the late
bloody method there will likely occur
q hitch in connection with the question
of recognizing the new government.
The latter thus far has not addressed
any communication to the powers, the
latter receiving all their information
from their own ministers or from
agents.

The kitchen is certainly not the most

done toward making it more habita.
BILE. In the first place, gas stove
should be used whenever it is possible.
If yeu have not a gas stove and are
living in district with gas laid on
you can hire one from the gas COM
pany for very little, and some compa-
mics will even put one in free of
charge. The gas bill need not be so
very enormous either If the following
rules are observed:
Lower the gas or turn it out the
minute the full fame is not needed.
Use steamer with different COM
partments so that several items of the
menu may be cooked over one ring.
II a gas stove is an impossibility n
good oil stove will do wonders. Select
one made by a good firm. use good oil,
trim the wicks evenly, have every part
free from grease or oil, turn the wicks
rather low for the first five minutes.
then as high as you can without smok-
ing. The oven will take about fifteen
minutes to heat.

scraps on clean dishes and remove at
once anything that is in the slightest
degree tainted or sour.
It is better to partly bake or boil
meat or fish il 1t must be kept than to
risk its being tainted. Seald milk
overnight, as it rarely keeps. Burn at
once all scraps and refuse.
Above all see that the kitchen win
