'Bjorgvin' every year celebrates
the birthday of Ole Bull.
Rev. V. A. NJ. Mortensen, who
has led somewhat stormy life,
has been notified by the Danish
Lutheran congregation in New
ark, N. j., that his services as
pastor are not needed. Rev.
Mortensen at one time was affil-
lated with the Danish Lutheran
Church of America, but owing to
some conflict of which the pub
lie knows little, he left this
church and has since been a
free lance" conducting for some
years a so-called Inner Mission
for the rescue of women in
New York City. Altho the con-
gregation in Newark was rather
foreign to his work, it elected
him pastor at a time when no
other could be obtained. The
break which had been expected
at any time during the last three
years has now occurred, probably
to mutual satisfaction.
At this time large part of
the American press is engaged in
the improbable work of melting
the government to starve the 8
Scandinavian countries. They
cite figures tending to show that
the increase in exports to Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark since
the outbreak of the war has
been abnormal, and the inference
they draw is that most of the ex-
ported articles are being trans
shipped to the enemies of the
Allies. The president now has
full powers to stop export to
neutral countries at his own dis
cretion, but part of the Ameri-
can press is not satisfied with
this. It echoes the cries of GER
tain papers in the Allied coun-
tries that immediate action must
be taken in order to put a stop
to the export to Scandinavia.
Figures officially published by
each of the three Northern gov
ernments show distinctly enough
that there has been a tremend-
Gus increase in American ex-
ports since August, 1914, but the
reason is simply this that all
other (European) export sources
became closed as a consequence
of the war. The three countries
import from America just enough
for home consumption, and at
tempts to re-export imported
American goods are invariably
branded as smugglery and heavi-
lv punished. To cOunteract the
effect of the rapid propaganda
against the continuance of ex-
porting to neutral countries, the
Norwegian government is send
ing a commission to Washington,
headed by Fridthiof Nansen: a
special representative of the
Swedish government, Herman de
Lagercrantz, has already arrived
for a similar purpose, and the
Danish government has ap-
pointed two assistants to the
minister at Washington for the
purpose of studying the trade
between Denmark and America
and of pointing out to the United
States government that as far
as Denmark is concerned, the
charges of unneutral re-export-
ing to the Central powers are
practically baseless.

HORSE OWNERS WARNED
Carbon Bisulphid Sold Fraudu.
lently as Remedy for Bots
and WOrmS-USe
Carefully.

Carbon bisulphid, a cheap and
readily obtainable compound, is
being unduly exploited under
various names and at exorbant
prices as a treatment for bots and
worms in horses, according to in
formation which recently has
come to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This
chemical is recognized remedy
for these ailments, but the de-
partment warns farmers against
paying S. for a quantity, sold
under fanciful name, that pro-
badly could be bought at any
drug store for 25 cents.
Not only is this compound be-
ing thus sold fradulently, but
false claims are made for it and
directions for it's use improperly
prescribed. Carbon bisulphid is
poisonous, and if used indiscrimi-
nately by inexperienced hands
may do more harm than good, the
specialists say. The vapor of this
substance is suffocating, and in
flammable when mixed with air,
and must be kept away from all
fire. AS the method~of admin
stering this compound is not al
together easy, it is suggested
that the treatment should be
given under the direction of ve-
terinarian.
The usual method of admin
stering is to give about ] fluid
ounce divided into ; doses and
to supplement it with a purga-
tive. For yearling colts half the
amount in similar dosage, is sufh-
cient. The carbon bisulphid is
administered in sealed capsules
soluble in the stomach. Gelatin
capsules sealed with glue or
otherwise prepared by the drug
gist so there will be no leakage
may be used. So-called 4-dram
capsules will actually hold about
3 drams of carbon bisulphid; g
dram capsules about II drains.
An instrument known as a ball
ing gun or balling iron will fa-
cilitate the administration of the
capsules. Inhaling of carbon
bisulphid fumes by a horse may
have serious consequences, and it
is accordingly important not to
use leaky capsules or crush them
during their administration. The
day preceding the treatment the
horse is fed lightly and all food
is withheld in the evening. A
purgative of aloes J to / ounce)
or a pint of raw linseed oil is
given. On the day of the treat
ment 3 drains of carbon bisulphid
in gelatin capsule or capsudes
are given to the horse. still fast
ing, at 6 O'Clock in the morning,
3 drams at Z o'clock. and 3 drains
at 8 o'clock-making in all 9
drains of carbon bisulphid in
either 3 or 6 capsules. according
to the size of the capsule used.
These doses are for a mature
horse; a yearling colt may be
given half the quantity.
When the remedy is used for
the removal of nose fly" bots,
which occur commonly in certain
Western States, it, should be
given during the fall of the year,
as bots of this species leave the
upper part Of the intestinal
tract after this time and esta-
blish themselves in the lower in
testine where they are but little
affected by ordinary medicinal
treatment.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

Disturbing Rumors Caused Losses ot

New York, Dec 11.--Another wave of liquidation swept over the stock market today. causing losses of to { points in many issues. Selling was most active in the afternoon. when prices crumbled to the accompaniment of distI.fbing rumors.
 Prs cticaIiy all the leading rails dropped to lowest prices of the year, soIae touched their mininumS for a period of years and a. few made ab- solutely new minimumS- Extreme re- cessionG in this group ranged from to { points.
 Industriais offered some resistance at the outset but gradually followed the course of the more seasoned issues. U. $. Steels' extreme recession of 3-4 to S5 represented the general setback in allied industrials and equipments. Shippings also reacted, but metals suffered only moderate loss.
 High priced specialties- notably to- baccos. augmented recent severe losses by 5 to 10 points, selling of those stocks proceeding on the theory that existing economic conditions make them. especially vulnerable. Sales amounted to 490 900 shares
 Anglo-French SIS, French municipal and numerous domestic railway and industrial issues featured the depressed bond market Liberty 4's were quoted at 97.26 to 97.50 and the 3 1-2's at S9.4S to 9S.56. Total sales. par value, aggregated $5 900.
