WILL NOT
INTERFERE IN
RAIL HOW

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 7.-The
request Of the railroad labor union
representatives that President Wilson
investigate the claims Of the railroad
executives before the Railroad Labor
Board that the carriers must adjust
wages or face bankruptcy, was refus-
ed by the President who also declined
to take the matter before Congress.
The President set forth his position
on the appeals made to him in a tele-
gram addressed jointly to two of the
railway labor unions and tothe Asso-
citation of Railway Executives, who
also had sent a communication to the
White House.
Confidence was expressed by the
President that all questions dealing
with railroad labor and management
might be left safely to the two bodies
entrusted under the transportation act
with matters-the Railroad Labor
Board and the Interstate Commerce
Commission. J

DRY LAW
IS POPULAR
HEAD SAYS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 7.-"Pub-
lie sentiment in favor of the absolute
enforcement Of the VoIstead law is in
creasing daily. Whisky is being
eliminated in the United States as
rapidly as could be expected by any
one" The above statement came
from W. w. Williams, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue when he was
asked regarding the prohibition con
ditions of the country.
TT would be safe to say that we
will not move the whisky out Of Ken
lucky that is in it," Williams said,
"and it would seem to be common
sense to bring one-third Of the total
amount here rather than remove two
thirds of it."
The plan of centralizing the whisky
is with a view of reducing the gov
eminent expense in guarding it a.
gainst theft and regulating its re-
moval and transportation.
Regarding reports that thousands
persons Throughout the country are
unable to pay or borrow money to
meet tax assessments because of fin
ancial conditions, the Commissioner
said that he could say nothing until !
reports which the being received
IN Washington were compelled.

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results.

"That he is all through paying fame,
prices for stock foods and hog rem
edies and he is raising some of the
best hogs ever placed on the market
was the statement made recently by
E. H. Beckstead,w well 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 ev-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
heed are minerals, and tells the secret
Of his wonderful success by explaining
that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only a
Of dollars) and mikes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs, and es-
peciallybroodsows require minerals as
they keep them free from worms, and
in the pink of condition, and are essen
tial to the hog growth and a we'll bal
anced ration. This inexpensive mix
ture placed in a sheltered box where
the hogs can get at it as they need it,
will produce far better results than
any high priced ~so-called stock foods.

Co., 1888 North Wells St.,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post enough
