BAN ON SOFT DRINKS
AT YANkTON RESERVATION

Sioux Falls. S. d.. April 3.-United
States indian Agent Taylor. of Yank.on
agency. has issued an order which has
created something of II sensation
among the Indians belonging at the
agency.
The order prohibits the sale OF pop
or other soft drinks to the Indians at
the ageno.. The Indian agent states
that the order was issued with the OBJ
ject OF preventing some of the Indians
from spending the amount of their
monthly checks almost entirely on soft
drinks -itts.e- purchasing recessi-
ties, as they should. 1t appears that it
has been the practice of some of the
Indians to spend practically all OF their
money for soft drinks, such as pop.
Agent Taylor also states that
he has we'll dundee suspicious
that through the medium of these
soft drinks Intoxicating liquors have
been sold to the Indians by some I'M
,,scrupulous parties who reap a good re-
enuo from their trade with the In
ldians. and that the only way he
could stop the practice was to abso-
lutely prohibit the sale OF soft drinks
to his Indians.
Drunkenness has been on the in
crease among the Yankton Indians dur
ing recent years. and Major Taylor is
determined that this shall be rene
