FEDERAL INCOME TAX.
Several Points Made Clear by Col
lcctOr Hayward.

Columbia, March 4.-The atten-
tion of d. C. Hayward, collector Of
internal revenue, was today called to
a local article in The News and Cou-
rier of Monday regarding income tax
delinquents. There being some slight
errors in the article. the collector
was asked for a statement covering
the matter, and he issued the follow
ing:
"A return is required of all in
dividuals having a net income of $3.-
600 or more, and this return should
have been filed i'm the Office Of the
collector on or before March /, and
the office was kept open until mid
night last Monday night TO receive
such returns. 1t was not proper, as
suggested in the article referred to,
to file the returns or pay the tax to
Deputy Collector l.. b. Hammet, at
his office in Charleston, but all re-
turns should have been sent to the
office in Columbia. The fact that a
man Is married and would, therefore,

from making IL return if his net in
come is more than $4,000. The re-
turn should have been made and the
exemption of $4,000 claimed in case
he is n married man.

atons and individuals are payable
at any time between now and the

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections 1t is
one of the most painful Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acld
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast 1t out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly,
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
hich keeps accumulating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
| called rheumatism.
AT the first twinge of rheumatism
I get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad salts; put tablespoon
| full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for n
week. This is said to eliminate uric acid
| by stimulating the kidneys to normal
action, thus rdding the blood of these
| Impurities
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia
! and is used with excellent results by
! thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
| ant, effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and Is

MORTON W|THDRAWS
FIRE APPARATUS BID
Without Explanation Local Firm
Asks For Good Faith Check;
Taylor Raps Discourtesy

After courteously delaying his rec
concentrations for motor fire appa-
ratus awards at the solicitation of the
Morton Truck and Tractor Company
this city, Commissioner NJ. Harvey
Taylor was unexpectedly prevented
from putting in his recommendations
to Council to-day by the sudden and
unexplained withdrawal of the Morton
firm from the competition.
Commissioner Taylor expected to
recommend the purchase of three
Christie type tractors, built by the
Front Drive Motor Company, of Ho-
boken. n. j., for $3.6OO apiece, and
two Morton chemical combinations, a
STANDARD" at $4,000 and Morton
Junior" at $4,000.
The Christie type machines were
offered at $3.50 less than those bid Tor
by the local firm. Although Mr. Tay-
lor said he always believed in favor
ing home manufacturers wherever
possible. he thought it only ordinary
economy to save for the taxpayers $3.50
a tractor if possible-especially when
the Christie machine has been widely
and satisfactorily used for years, while
the Morton company has not even as
sembled tractor.
AT lne company request he "iIh-
held his bids until to-day, the company
having asked this courtesy in order to
demonstrate their machine to the
commissioners. To the commissioner S

Third Class Cities Are
Fighting to Prevent the
Repeal of Stein Act

While Mayor Joseph G. Armstrong
and some of Pittsburghs councilmen
are fighting to secure the repeal of
the Stein act providing for a gradual
reduction of taxation on buildings as
compared with unimproved land, in
second class cities. officials and civic
organizations of thirteen third class
cities are urging the Legislature to
keep the law on the statute books anI
extend 1t to cover their municipalities.
A bill to make this extension of the
law was presented in the Senate by
Senator Tompkins of Cambria county
and it has already passed the upper
branch of the Legislature. The bill is
now in the municipal corporations
committee of the House and it is be-
lieved Will be reported with a favorable
recommendation, although Chairman
Walton, a Democrat of New Castle, is
opposed to it.
The movement to have the Stein act
extended to third class cities was start
ed by the chamber of commerce of
Johnstown. f. II. Mahaffey, chair
man of the taxation committee, was
sent here to push the bill and he had
little trouble interesting other third
class cities in the proposition. Not
one third class city is opposing the
Tompkins bill. The cities of Chester,
Williamsport, Reading. Altoona, Mead
vile, Johnstown, Easton, Erie, Titus
| vile, Oil City, Harrisburg, Hazleton
and Allentown are reported as giving
support to the Tompkins bill.
Senator Lynch and representatives
! from Scranton, the only other second
class city in the State, with Pittsburgh
| are opposing repeal of the Stein act
The civic and commercial organiza-
tions of that city wish to keep the law
on the books and they are fighting the
movement begun by Pittsburgh to sc.
cure its repeal.

REASONS WHY SOME
WOMEN LOOK DOWDY

In the Woman's Home Companion
Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor
of that publication, explains how
fashions have to be applied differently
to different individuals. A woman
may be fashionably dressed and still
look like a trump. Following is an
extract from what she has to say:
THE new fashions, generally speak
ing, each season attempt to give grace
and beauty to women as a whole; but
for each individual Me there must be
discrimination.
Fashion favors a style for every
body and everybody in style; but yet
one woman's style is another woman's
dowdiness; just as one mans meat is
another mans poison. There Is dan
ger. therefore, in following blindly the
dictates of Fashion, for what is at
tractive for one woman may be ridic-
ulous for another"
