DEN MARK.

LIE Temps, the semiofficial organ of
tho French government, recently con-
tanned a prominent editorial in which
the Zahle cabinet was severely criti
clzed on account of it's foreign policy
during the war. The Danish govern.
ment is said to be distinctly pro-Ger-
man, though 1t is working for the neu-
trality of the country 1t is further
claimed that powerful party. is being
built up in Denmark in opposition to
the government on account of it's for
eign policy. The Danish Nat1onalti-
dende, though it is opposed to the
present ministry, points out that the
French paper is mistaken as to the
main question. With regard to the
foreign policy of the ministry, says
the paper, there is absolutely no an
tagonism between the Danish govern
ment and the Danish people,
Lieutenant Laud. the aviator of the
Danish navy, established new Scan
dinavian hydroaeroplane record by ris-
ing to a height of about 5000 feet with
his "Maagen l." This is even said to
planes.
Two and half tons of lard put ut
IN 400-pound casks disappeared from
warehouse in Copenhagen. Nobody
can explain the disappearance of the
lard. Even the police think it would
be impossible to carry away 400-poun0
barrel without being detected 1t is
evident that those policemen are not
quite up to date. They ought to be in
formed that it is no trick for a man
who knows his business to lug away
even such objects as pianos and huge
fireproof bank safes without being
caught. All that the policeman needs
to do Is to look the other way.
For two years past the Danes have
been fighting the flies, but the work
has been sort of desultory. Now they
have made preparations for a regular
war all over the country. Fortunately
the Danes do not need to waste much
time making experiments, for they
borrow the modus operandi from the
Americans. Their great authority is
said to be "a professor from the Uni
versity Of Cleveland" But In fact
his Danish pupils seem to go him enc
better in thoroughness. In every
railway station may be seen large
posters explaining the vices of the fly
and giving practical hints with regard
to the determination Of the pest

QUICK, DAINTY DISHES
SUPPLiEs NEEDED FOR SERVING
4 UNEXPECTED GUESTS.
BY Seeing That Few Requisites Arr
Always in the larder, Housewife
Need Never Be at a Loss-
Eggs Always MaInstay.

Often time is more valuable than
money. in the home as well as in bus1-
ness. For instance, II unexpected
guests arrive five minutes before
lunch hour on the day you had told
the cook you would like nothing but
a biscuit and glass of milk you
would probably count the expenditure
of little money no extravaganza II
by spending it you could spread forth
an attractive luncheon for your guests.
Where there are good delicatessen
shops and caterers in the neighbor-
hood they reap the reward Of your de-
sire to save time at the expense OF
money. But where these popular aids
to quick housekeeping do not exist, it
is necessary to make up for their lack
by having larder furnished with sup
plies that can be quickly converted
into dainty dishes for the unexpected
meal.
Eggs can always be quickly turned
into an omelet, made savory with the
addition of minced ham or chicken,
parsley or little jelly just before it
turned. A baked omelet, too, with
cooked macaroni or cooked green peag
or asparagus heads added, is good
And a plain omelet served with
sauce of tomatoes and sweet green
peppers simmered together with wa
ter or a little stock until tender, ia
good enough to serve as the main dish
49, 1;r1
If there is cold meat in the pantry
it can be minced, mixed with little
mayonnaise and converted thus into
the filling for tempting sandwiches
Or it can be minced, simmered with a
little chopped pepper, tomato or pars-
ley. and served on crisp rounds Of
toast Or it can be cut into neat dice,
mixed with half its quantity of diced
celery, or quarter of its quantity Of
sweet green pepper, cut In small
pieces, and moistened with mayor
naise for salad-with or without let
tuce or some other salad green, which
may not be on hand.
For dessert, anything cool is accept
able on a warm day. Whatever fruit
there is can be cut into neat bits.
mixed with little shaved ice, sweet
ened and favored to taste, and piled
into sherbet glasses. If there is no
fruit, perhaps there are the ingredl-
ents for whip To make this, beat
the whites Of eggs stiff, sweeten with
two or three teaspoonfuls Of sugar for
each white and favor with anything
on hand-prune juice and pulp, grape
juice. little melted jelly or canned
fruit juice, fresh raspberries, straw
berries or black raspberries, crushed.
orange juice and pulp or even cocoa,
when nothing else is at hand. Serve
daintily, very cold, in long-stemmed
glasses. A sweetened omelet makes a
good dessert. Whipped cream on bits
of plain cake is good. Mullins from
breakfast followed out and filled with
custard, then topped with whipped
cream, give little suggestion of their
origin and are satisfying, to make up
for any deficiencies in the preceding
courses

The shower of decorations of hon.

King Gustaf of Sweden June 5 was
so rich that the names Of those who
received the badges and the names

VALDEZ, July 15-Fanned by a high wind, fire which started as an incip- tent blaze swept over the city this morning and before day had well advanced almost the entire business section was a mass of smouldering de- bris and over a half million dollars had vanished in smoke. Tonight the city presents a scene of complete des- olation as practically every important business block in the town is gone or is a smouldering heap of charred and blackened debris. The fire broke out at an early hour in small business house and despite the efforts of the fire department, spread rapidly to the adjoining buildings. Before an hour had passed the confagration was sweeping down both sides of the street and carrying away building after building in it's destructive progress
 After once gaining a foothold the fire department was helpless and although the citizens and also the troops which were ordered out from Fort Liscum
