A decision by the treasury depart
ment gives an emphatic negative to
the popular belief that the revenue
laws do not apply to the distillation
Of brandy or other liquors for home
consumption. ~.
According to the decision made, no
one can operate a still for the manu-
facture Of brandy and other liquors

giving bonds for the payment y Of the
In the same batch of decisions an
attempt is made. to fix the status of
those patent medicines which are prin-
cipally alcoholic in character, as malt
whisky, fruit brandies, etc. The rule
laid down is that SO long as their
medicinal properties are the most prom
inent they are not to be taxed as
liquors. The status of such compounds
is underlined, as they. were formerly
taxed as patent medicines, and it is
only since the removal of the medicine
tax that they have been brought to the
attention Of the authorities as liquors.

TWINS PLAN TO
HELP EACH OTHER.
TROLLEY CARS NEEDED TO CARRY
FIRE-FIGETING MACHINERY.
Each City Will Maintain It's Own Cars,
Which Can Be Utilized in Answering
Suburban Calls. as Well as in Inter
City Service-Cost Of Cars Is Slight
COMMITTEE to Act Monday.

Minneapolis and st. Paul will have
trolley cars for the transportation of
fire apparatus between the two cities,
before the first Of the year. Plans and
bids have been submitted and next
Monday the council committee on fire
department will meet to award the con-
tract. Chief Strapp of st. Paul and
Fire Commissioner Freeman have been
invited to be present.
1T has been decided that each city
shall own It's own car and maintain it
at a central point, where it will be
ready for a quick trip to the other city
on moment s notice. It is understood
that the cars will cost about 5000 each.
Experience has taught the people
OF the twin cities that such cars as
we propose to build are badly needed"
sald Chief J. R. Canterbury # the
Minneapolis department today. HThere
have been several occasions when we
have been compelled to ask St. Paul
for assistance, and we have been only
too willing to make a return service.
we have. however, been badly ham
pered by lack of transportation facili-
ties and several hours of valuable time
have necessarily been lost in securing
the cars and getting the engines and
other apparatus on board. ~
- with car standing ready day and
night, steamers and other apparatus can
be placed on board and hurried on the
! way in few moments. Moreover, the
arrangement would be a great conven-
fence in getting the apparatus to dis
tant points in our own city. In the
event Of big fire say at Minnehaha
or the manufacturing plants at Hop
klns and st. Louis park, there would be
! no use in killing valuable horses max
ing long runs Of five or six miles. The
trolley car ought to come in handy.
''There has been much talk Of such
an arrangement after every big fire,
and everybody favors the plan. t
hope that there will be no
further delay for the prices we have
are satisfactory and the cars can be
provided within a few months after the
contracts have been let.''
