"Spug" stands for Society for the
Prevention of Useless Gifts
Topeka knows no more loyal
and constant booster for the CIV
ing of practical and sensible gifts
that l. s. Galitzky. proprietor of
the New Toggery- Am .rican citi-
aens should eliminate the giving
of useless and nonsensiral gifts
at this time. Not that the Chris
mas spirit should be done away
with. but true economy should be
rracticed in the selection of gifts.
To give useful and practical pres
ents means picking out those
things that can be used to advan-
tage by the recipient. Articles
that add to ones comfort are al
ways acceptable. and loyal Ameri-
cans take real pleasure I'm the ex-
change of rcmembrances of this
nature. Mr.. 9alitzky further
states that during the years he
has been IN business in Topeka
the stock Of the New Toggery has
never been so large aud complete
with real practical gifts--as II
is this season.

Bismarck, n. D.. April s.-Fort

ton. is M of the first municipalities
In North Dakota to adopt the plan Of
collectively buying coal in large
quantities and of storing it when
fuel is plenty to ward off a possible
shortage later on. Fort Yates is A
river town, with no rail commun:ca-
tons. Each fall it transports by boat
from Bismarck sufficient Ignite TO
meet. its estimated needs during the
winter months. The coal is bought
in large quantities. transported cheap
ly. and sold to consumers at a CON
siderable saving.
The Fort Yates plan is endorsed
for municipalities generally By the
United States fuel administration, and
it notes the fact that many o.; the
large eastern cities have taken up the
idea. In New York a proposition has
been made for the city to use its old
water reservoir as a storage place for
coal. 1t would hold many thousands
Of tons which, supplementing the
supply that each individual house
holder could put in. would carry the
city through any period of coal trans
portation difficulty. Boston also is
devising means Of storing coal during
the season 0f plenty.

Less Beer Being
Used In Minnesota

St. Paul. Mimi, April ?.-Less beer
is being used in Minnesota tina n
formerly. the monthly statement of
government internal revenue shows,
and there has been a falling off in the
smoking of cigars although the re-
ceipts show an increase in revenue
income in both cases.
Fol- the month OF March, as COM
pared with the same month a year
ago. the total receipts marked an in
crease of $1.422.69S.56. There is an
increase Of ,~$97,S02.25 in event for
beer, although it is shown that 1885
barrels less were used. The increase
In gross tax is explained by the fact
hat the tax on beer this year, is 50
as compared to $3.50 a year ago.
The receipts last year during the
month of March for cigars were $15.-
$3.50. as against $~21.304.70 for the
month just closed, although the rate
