ITEMS FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most Important Events
in Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the Scandinavians
In America.
DEN MARK.

The right of American armed mer-
chantmen to enter neutral ports of Eu-
rope is the subject of negotiations
now being carried on by diplomatic
representatives of the United States.
DR.. Maurice Egan, American minister
to Denmark, took up the subject
Of days ago. but as yet has re-
ceived no reply from the Danish gov
eminent. It is understood that Sweden
and Norway have no objection to use
of their ports by armed merchant
men.
Introduction of the bread card sys-
tenn into Denmark after April, under a
daily ration Of 315 grams, or about Is
per cent more than the German allow
ance, is fixed, offers testimony to Den
marks increasing food difficulties
through the interruption Of traffic with
America. Raw materials for Denmark's
Industries are running so low that
fears are expressed that workingmen
may be thrown out of employment by
thousands.
The Danish government has prohib-
tied the expectation of osiers (twigs
used in place of ropes) stripped of the
bark, old wrought iron, and all kinds
of scraps of steel and iron. These ar
ticles seem to have been forgotten when
previous lists were made out.
Herring received town charter not
long ago. And it's citizens are we'll
pleased, for it has been figured out
that their taxes would have been
about $4,000 higher if the place had
remained as a part of the county, or
amt.
Rev. Wiene of Thisted disappeared
in an unaccountable manner. A few
days later he was found walking the
streets of the city. He wore no hat,
his face was pale and haggard, and
he was evidently out of his right mind
He was found to carry $1,000 in cash
on his person.
German seamen who stop at AL
borg seem to be bound to land in the
hospital. They are used to lean fare,
and when they suddenly get a meal at
a Danish table loaded with rich food
they overeat and take sick.
Of h1 Of
are thinning out very fast. Ten years
ago there were some 300 in Randers
and vicinity, last year there were 81,
and this year only 20. Of this num-
Der only three were able to appear in
person this year to receive the gift Of
honor which each one of them has
been in the habit of receiving for
many years past.
A royal Danish proclamation an
nouncing the transfer of the Danish
West Indies to the United States and
bidding farewell to the former SUBJ
jects Of King Christian was issued at
St. Thomas, w. l., March IS. The
proclamation expressed the convic-
ton that the interests of the islands
would best be served with them at
tached to the United States.
Wireless messages have been sent as
far as 30 miles between airships and
the navy yards. Instead Of mast, a
copper wire los feet long is uncoiled
from the airplane. Those who are
conducting the experiments think they
will soon be able to send messages a
distance of 100 miles or more.

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

"To save food the housewife must
learn to plan economical and proper
