''That he is all through paying

remedies and that he is raising some
of the best hogs ever placed on the
market" was the statement made re-
Gently by E. H. Beckstead, we'll
known hog raiser and authority on
live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
of his neighbors, and have topped
the market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can
make himself. He states that what
the hogs need are minerals, and tells
the secret of his wonderful success by
explining mat he takes about five
pounds of ordinary mineraline (Which
is pure concentrated minerals and
cost only a couple of dollars) and
mixes same with enough bran or filler
to make hundred pounds. All hogs,
and especially brood sows requirt
minerals as they keep them free from
worms, and in the pink of condition,
and are ESSENTIAL to the hogs growth
and a well balanced ration. This in
expensive mixture placed in a shelter

they need it, will produce far better
results than any high priced so-called

DAUGEzER7Y WZLL RELY ON .STATEATY. GENERALS TO
 AID w LOWERING PRICES
STATE POLICE MAY
 CLOSE UP THEATER
Authorities Interested in Case of Peter PerOkas,
 Is Belief

That the state police may step in for the strict enforcement of state statutes and possibly the suspension of the Scenic theater's license as a result of charges that Peter Perokas, its manager, is guilty of two violations of theater laws, is iorcasted, it is believed, in the presence of q repre- sentative of the department at the preliminary hearing yesterday.
 Arthur N. Rutherford of this city, who is doing special work in the police department as inspector of theater buildings, was an interested spectator yesterday when Manager Perokas was put to plea. The theater man is alleged to have overcrowded his theater by allowing persons to stand in the rear despite the fact that he is not allowed to utilize standing room under his permit, and with al lowing children under the age of 14 to attend his theater without a guard ian.
 The state police are interested par ticularly in the oVercrOWding charge it is believed. Violations of this rule leaves the proprietor liable to the suspension of his license to conduct a theater, it is said, and in view of the tightening of the theater laws since the Rialto fire in New Haven, inter- vention in the Scenic case is not deemed improbable.
 Perokas, through his attorney, Lawyer Michael A. Sexton, has a con- tinuance in the case until Saturday morning.

 Since retiring as mayor, Mr. Quig- ley has devoted himself solely to re- establishing his real estate and steam ship ticket business. From friends of the former mayor, 1t has been learned that so urgent have been the demands of his friends that he again become a candidate, that he has finally con- sented.

CHANGE IN RATE
Abolishing of Government Tax Re duces Railroad Fares on Long Dis tant Runs.

The government war tax on rail- road fares will be abolished after Sun day when the tax will go out of ex- istence. This does not mean that the railroad company will make a reduc- ton in the fares on their part, how ever.
 Under the new rulings the fare to New York from New Britain will be sS.64 instead of s3.9S as it is at pres ent. The fare to New Haven will be s1.O4 instead of s1.12 and to Boston via Willimantic the fare will be Sd57 instead of S494. By way Of Berlin the fare to Boston will be S4.94 in stead of s5.34. The fare to Spring field by way of Berlin will be Sl4O instead of S1.51.
 The tax was made by the govern ment in 1918 on all railroad fares that were over 42 cents. The doing away with the tax will have no effect on the fare between New Britain and Hartford or Bristol inasmnch as It does not cost 42 cents to travel to either of these places.
