Family Laxative.

1t is Uncomfortable in this day of
general Intelligence that any family
would be without a simple remedy for
the minor ills of life. for often by Civ
ing such remedy in time serious
disease can be frustrated and life
saved.
For exampie.if at the first sign of a
cold a simple laxative-tonic like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin were given,
the beginning of a serious lung affec-
tion or of typhoid fever might be
avoided. And also in headaches, ner-
vousness, etc, small dose of this
remedy would relieve the congestion
and replace distress with, comfort.

Washington. d. c., Feb. 27-If a
farmer is SO fortunate as to have a
net income of over $4,000 year in
case he is a bachelor, or $4,000 if
married, he is subject to the income
tax, and under the law each individ-
ual must make return to the Internal
Revenue collector of his district on or
before the first day of March if he
has a net income of $4,000 or over
($2,500 for the ten months of 1879
While the interest of most farmers in
this subject is purely academic, the
Department OF Agriculture has re-
ceived inquiries indicating that some
wish to know just what is required
of them under the new law
The Income tax law of October 3,
1913, places tax of per cent upon
all net incomes of over $4,000, with
an additional tax ON incomes of $4,000
or more. The first question arising
in the minds OF most people is what
constitutes net income. For a man
receiving regular salary, or a bust
ness man with a good system of book
keeping. it is easy to determine wheth-
er or not his income is taxable. But
for the farr3er who receives no stated
income. and who often fails to keep
accurate account of receipts and ex-
penditures, it is more difficult to cal
culate his net income.

Community Combination
Will Boost Egg Prices
BUYERS WILL SEND SAYS MORRISON

even send man down to instruct you
how to ship them. That is a chicken
mans dream, you say: The farmers
in progressive farming states are do
ing it, and why not the Mississippi
farmer? 1t is just an acknowledge
ment that we are not hustling as we
should. Mississippi farmers have not
been thinking about eggs and the
small things of the farm. They want
something that will sell for big money
and give it in lump. And the mer-
chant continually talks cash crops.
When eggs were selling for eighty
five cents per dozen last year in New
York, they we're about as good me-
dunn of exchange as anything we
know of. If you are going to be with
the folks who will get the prices,
bring off the chicks now and get early
pullets. The money in farm poultry
is In selling eggs. In raising layers
you will have the male birds as sur
plus, which should be placed on the
market during the broiler season.
They bring more profit as broilers
than sold in any other way. 1t does
not pay to bring off chicks later than
April. The early layer makes the
profit and late spring brings disaster
as they are prey to insects and sub
inct to many diseases

In order that farmers may be post
ed on the income tax as it may con-
Germ them, the following information
has been furnished by the Internal
Revenue Bureau of the Treasury De-
partment:
In general. an income consists of
amounts derived from salaries, wages.
or compensation for personal service,
paid in any form; also from profess
sions, business, sales or dealings in
property, Or from rents, interests on
bonds or mortgages. dividends on
stocks, or other income from invest
ments. These items constitute gross
income, from which there should be
deducted the expenses of carrying on
the business; interest paid on indebt-
edness; worthless debts charged off:
losses by fire, storm or shipwreck. not
covered by insurance; exhaustion, wear
and tear of property. and any income
upon which the income tax has al
ready been deducted at the source
as, for instance. dividends on the
stock of corporation which has al
ready paid the tax on it's earnings.
The provisions regarding net in
comes of $4,000 apply only to unmar-
ried persons. or to married persons
not living with wife or husband. A
husband and wife living together are
entitled to an exemption of $4,000 on
their aggregate income. This means
that in case the wife has a separate
income, if this adde to the husbands
income amounts to $4,000 the total
Is subject to the tax; or, If the wife
has NO separate income, the husbands
income is taxable only in case 1t
reaches $4,000. But return must be
made If the aggregate income of both
Is $500 for the year 1918. The Joint
however, would be 49,.
1888.
In arriving at his net income the
armer should start with his gross
ncome. This would consist of any
TENS of the kind above enumerated,
nd especially all receipts from the
ale of products of every description
'om the farm. This would include

Special to The NetOs
Starkville, Miss, Feb. 27.-At the
begi-ring of the week eggs were quot
ed In Memphis at twenty-five and
twenty-six cents. The farmers in
most of the hill towns are getting
about fifteen cents in trade. Part Of
this Is the fault of distribution, but
much of it is the fault of the pro-
Queer. The merchants give you fif-
teen cents, 1t matters not whether the
eggs are all rotten or whether they
are newly laid. The enterprising and
careful must suffer for the sins of
the don't-care man. The don't care
fellow has got to be separated from
the producer who wants to get better
prices and the only way we know Of
is to have an organization from which
you can keep him out with his bad
eggs, or II he gets in, turn him out
and let him shift for himself.
One man with dozen eggs to sell
must sell to the local buyer. 1t even
does not pay him to walk over town
to sell this few. Group yourselves
and have a case, and you can reach
some customer, and if you have a car,
New York buyers will talk to you and
