Three Men Held the Victim, While the
Fourth Did the H ife Act, According
to Injured Man.
Shortly after $50 O'Clock Friday aft
ernoon Chief Murphy received a tele-
phone message to the effect that there
was A bad fight going on in the tene-
ment over John Bowman's saloon, on
West Main street. He sent Policeman
Henderson to the place, and he brought
two l1Fn to headquarters, one Of them,
George Asemacopoulo. being covered
with blood. He was bleeding profuse-
ly, and DR.. Donohue was called to
dress the wounds. The injured man
stated that he was set upon by four
men three Of them holding him while
the fourth cut him with a knife dur
ing some trouble which took place
there. BIS head was bound up and he
was placed in the woman's room. a

TYLER cRUTTENDEN
AN EFFICIENT ASSISTANT.
Dairy Commissioner viii Ask for $780,
900 This Year.

Hubert F. Potter, the dairy com
missioner, will ask the incoming gem
eral assembly for a substantial in
crease in the appropriation for his de-
partment. His appropriation has been
$4,000 year 1hiS year the board
Of control allowed him an extra sum
Of s1,700 to meet expenses incurred in
the carrying out of the pure food law.
1t was with considerable reluctance
that Commissioner Potter went before
the board Of control to ask for an ad-
ditlOnal sum. 1t would have afforded
him greater satisfaction to have car
ried out the provisions of the new law
without being obliged to ask for an
extra appropriation The board of
control gave him the amount for
when he asked. 1t is the intention
Of Commissioner Potter to ask for
100000 for the next two years. The
enforcement OF this law is really a
more expensive undertaking than is
generally thought. Mr.. Potter has
been obliged to engage the services Of
three additional men to act as inspec-
tors Of food products and see that the
law is not violated. The work of in
spection is in itself quite costly. The
inspectors are obliged to hire teams to
go about from place to place. These
men are engaged in addition to the
deputy dairy commissioner, who is
representative Tyler Cruttenden Of
Norwich. 1t may be said, in passing
that Mr.. Cruttenden is proving a very
efficient assistant to Mr.. Potter. The
pure food law should be given a fair
trial and unless it is enforced its ben
ehts will not be recognized by the
public. The law is nothing more than
the federal law altered to meet the
local requirements Of this state. The
expense of enforcing the law win be
appreciated when the fact IS stated
that the account Of one inspector
from December 1 to December 26
amounted to about S175. Nor can it
be said that there was anything ex-
traordinary in this account. It con-
tanned the usual items Of expense and
no more.

Mistake.

One common every day mistake
made by most people is that Olive
Oil is only used for salads and medic
inal purposes, and look on the use OF
oil in cooking as extravagant, because
its first cost is somewhat more than
lard.
The fact is Olive OIL is used in it's
native countries more for its food
value than for anything else, and as
it is not absorbed by the materials
in cooking, lasts much longer, so is
verv much cheaper in the end. This
is particularly true Of that delicious
