DISEASE is NOT
FOOT AND MOUTH
Cattle Have Stomatitis, a Malady
Easily Cured-Veterinari Advise
Local Quarantine.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2-Laboratory
Investigations completed here show
that the aiment among cattle at Kan
sas City, suspected of being foot and
mouth disease, is stOmatitis, compar-
atlvely harmless maEdv easily cured.
The disease, department of agricul-
ture statement says, is known in Eu-
rope and South America and has been
found occasionally before in the United
states. 1t is contagious, but animals af-
fected usually recover within eight or
10 days.
1.-The present outbreak the state
ment says, lis the most extensive vet
noted IN this country. The specialists
of the department, therefore, are adj
vising state livestock officials in whose
territory the disease is found to impose
local quarantine to prevent its spread.
They advise all owners and handlers of
horses and cattle, particularly livery
men, managers of stoc kyards. and
breeders, TO separate sick from well
animals, to clean up and disinfect their
premises and to wash out the mouths
Of sick animals with a weak solution of
permanganate of potash or picrie
acid
In none Of the sick animals examined
has there been found anv soreness of
the feet, a common symptom of foot
and mouth disease, the statement saws.
"Moreover, - it adds. "manv horses
have this particular ailment, and horses
have not been observed to contract
foot and mouth disease in any of the
previous outbreaks in the United
States. Hundreds of hogs exposed to
the disease and in close association
with the sick animals show no sign of
the maladv. and this is regarded as sig-
uifeant, because during the recent out
breaks of foot and mouth disease hogs
were as susceptible as were cattle. FIX
posed sheep also fail to show the
disease, yet these cloven foot animals
are also susceptible to foot and mouth
infection This bears out the diagnosis.
since vascular stomatitis affects only
horses and cattle and not hogs and
hcep.
"Finaliy. the low percentage of ami
mails infected in each of the herds
only a small percentage out OF some
bundreds-would indicate that this all
ment is not the highly contagious foot
and mouth disease. which. once it is in
PRODUCED into herd, 'quicklv affects
practically 100 per cent of the cattle
and hogs
THE department veterinarians
will keep 81 careful watch to detect anv
evidence of foot and mouth disease -

Sweden Notifies Steamship Officials Exports from U. S. will Be

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-That the Swedish government is preparing to take decisive action against the Brit ish blockade of the neutral nations of Europe is indicated by an order re- ceived here today by the officials of the Swedish-American Steamship line. The order comes direct from Stockholm and instructs the steam ship officials that all exports from the United States for entry at Swedish ports must be consigned to the Swe- dish government. or the food com mission recently appointed by the government.
 Several steamers which were load ed and about to take their departure for Sweden have delayed their sail ings as it is believed that the order. although sent direct to the officials of the Swedish American line. applies to all shipments consigned to Swedish ports. .e &
 It is generally believed here that Sweden Is preparing, to enter the war on the side of the Teutons and that the government is desirous of secur- inc cohtIol Of tho food supplies of the nation in order to prevent deal esrs from demanding exorbitant prices as in England.
