1.-THE question which was decided
at Karstad,' says Verdens Gang, was
not, Shall Norway dismantle her from
tier forts, or shall they be left stand
ing? But the question was, Shall we
keep our forts on our side Of the
boundary-line and the Swedes build
forts on their side? Shall the relation
between the neighbors after the dis
solution of the union be such that we
build fort against fort along the limo
and fill them with garrisons, Compel
ing with each other to find out who
can build the strongest forts and keep
the largest garrisons? Or shall it be
our endeavor to establish peaceful re-
lations between the two countries"

Killed by Medicine.

Duluth-West end physicians declare
that Arvid H. Johnson, six months old,
whose death occurred Saturday, was
slowly poisoned to death by the use
of a patent medicine which contained
morphine in too great doses for a child
so young.
When the child was a few weeks old
the parents received q sample of
patent medicine. The child became
restless and the mother administered
some of the stuff. 1t seemed to have
little effect and the doses were i'm
creased to teaspoonful instead of the
six Or eight drops called for on the
label.
The child survived the continued ad-
mlnlstration Of the drug for almost six
months, but finally succulnbed.
The physicians who attended the
child before it's death say that I'M
doubleday it died as the result Of NOR
Prime poisoning, and insist that NOR
prime should not be sold in any form
except upon a physicians prescrip-
ton. A resolution for an ordinance
to this effect now is pending before
the city council.

Herr Hammars Kjold, the new min
lister of ecclesiastical affairs, made an
address at the ninth convention Of the
peoples high schools of Sweden, which
was held at Jonkoping, and he laid
powerful stress on the Importance Of
religious instruction as means Of
conserving the state. He said in part:
1.-The peoples high school movement
has been characterized from the very
start by friendliness towards Chris
tianity, and the Importance Of this
feature has never been more obvious
than in our own day. The fermenta-
ton and agitation going on among us
are characterized by high degree Of
hostility to Christianity, be they called
Socialistic or otherwise The main
principle of Christianity is love; but
from the opposite camp it is preached
with untiring zeal, Thou shalt hate
everything which stands above thee,
which checks thine own selfisnness,
thou shalt hate the laws and the
authorities. Hate shall be thy re-
ligion.' Those people think that they
can build up a model state without
religion, but they are terribly mis-
taken. No state has ever been built
without religion"
