FEDERAL INCOME
TAX OFFICER
viii be Here Next Month to
Show People How to Re
port IncOmes-Penalty
for Failure

In n communication received by
this paper, Collector of Internal Re.
venue, W. H. l.. Pepperell, announces
that federal income tax officer will
be sent into this county on January
Ord and will be here until January
10th, inclusive, at different towns as
follows. He will have his office in
Columbus court house January 7th
to 18th, inclusive. .
Galena, postmaster, January 18th
to 18th inclusive.
Baxter Springs, postmaster, January
18th to 10th inclusive.
Weir, postmaster, January Bird to
9th inclusive.
and will be there every day and will
ling to help persons subject to the in
come tax make out their returns with
out any cost to them for his services.
How many income taxpayers will
there be in Baxter Springs? II you
can guess how many married persons
living with wife or husband will have
have net incomes of $4,000 or over,
and how many unmarried persons
will have net incomes Of 81 900 or ov-
er this year, then you know. The
collector Of Internal Revenue esti-
mates that there will be 1923 tax pay
ers in this county.
Returns Of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provid-
ed for the purpose before March list,
1918. Because a good many people
don't understand the law and won't
know how to make out their returns,
the government is sending in this ex-
pert to do it for them. But the duty
is on the taxpayer to make himself
known to the government: If he
doesn't make returns as required be-
fore March LIST, he may have to pay
q penalty ranging from $50 to 81 1000,
pay a fine or go to Jail. So if you
don't want to take chances on going
to Jail, you had better call on the in
come tax man. If you are not sure
about being subject to the tax, bet
ter ask him and make sure. Whether
you see the income tax man or not,
you must make return if subject to
tax. =
of COURSE persons resident IN 9th
er counties may, if they want to, come
and see the income tax man who will
be at places mentioned.
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert ar
rives. Expenses, however, don't mean
family expenses, money used to pay
off the principal of a debt, new ma
chinery, buildings, or anything like
that. They mean what you spend in
making your money-interest, taxes
paid, hired help, amount for goods
sold, seed, stock bought for feeding,
rent Except for your dwelling) etc.
Income includes about every dollar
you get.

The information that came to me,
after we had knocked out a saloon
and what l believed to be a bad
house, and then helped to prevent a
brewery from going in the same
place, was this: The brewery man
ager had gone to the Chicago Mil
waUkee Brewers assn and tried to
get a resolution through that if the
firm was with did not discharge me
they would boycott that firm. went
to the head Of the house. He said
there was nothing in it, but in six
months lost my job, and had been
with that man as a brother salesman
or an employee about 81 years. Since
1907 have been in this kind of work
entirely, and if l did not receive re-
Enumeration / could not continue it.
I sold goods at wholesale in this city
for about 81 years and saw man after
man go down, some of the best sales
men in the city, and a large part of
the trouble was liquor, immortality
and gambling.
AS to the words of the Master,
LEAD us not into temptation" Mr..
Mickow says 81 favor prohibition"
which I do, but I also have said pub
icly, and say to him, 'the greatest
war in the world is the war with our
selves" and the toughest job any
man has is with himself. I decided
the liquor question for myself in
1873. I started travelling in 1871 and
it was customary at that time to
treat customers. I got into a tenn
perance meeting in Appleton, Wis, in.
1873 and signed the pledge and kept
it; have not even drunk a glass of
cider all these years.
I think when the Master said lead
us not into temptation" it would not
be hard to believe if he was on earth
today that he would favor prohibit

row and trouble to individuals, the

ROOT, THE STANDPATTER.-
For quite a few years just past our
standpatters in both political parties
have been urging upon our govern
ment policy looking toward the oc-
cupation Of Mexico, for the good of
Mexico, Of course, and, incidentally,
for our own national development"
Among the high priests of such a
policy was one Elihu Root, formerly
secretary of state. Bernhard, Ger
man standpatteT, pOkes fun at his
American standpat brother, Root,
whom he aptly calls the spokesman
of the American plutOcrats," for his
"childlike self-consciOusness."
On Friday, Jan. Is, in an address
before the National Security leagues
Congress Of Constructive Patriotism,
this same ElihU Root, in order to
show no doubt that his German
standpat brother spoke the truth,
gave another exhibition of "childIike
seIf-cOnscioUsness" which is simply
monumental; for Root, in that
speech, if correctly reported in Chi
cago newspapers, does nothing else
than spit into the face of the very
policy which he advocated for us, as
against Mexico, when that same
policy is employed by someone else.
The Unabashed effrOntery of this
man would be grotesque If it did not
carry with it the implied insult to
our intelligence, that we plain, every
day American citizens are too dense
to see through and properly measure

Of the trouble that children are going
through on account of drunken par
ents, especially drunken fathers, l
think he would change his mind
about the liquor question.
Regarding liquor paying one of the
largest revenues in the country, I
suppose if we allowed some man to
murder he would be willing to pay
a big license; to rob, another license;
to steal, another license. The older
I grow the less I believe in licensing

THE DELICACY OF TOAST.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.
(Copyright. 1871

1t Is my own personal opinion that
there is hardly anything more deli
cious in flavor than rightly made toast.
That is, granting the one who tastes
it has a normally healthy appetite,
unjaded by late suppers and highly
seasoned refreshments-and providing
too that 1t is winter when the warmth
and the rich fund of suggestions con-
tained in the mere name of toast are
welcome. Somehow In the very aroma
of toasted bread there are all sorts
of suggestions of cracking fires. beds
of red Goals, long two-tined toasting
forks and domestic cheer. For toast
Is something that must be made at
home. The most fashionable hotel
kitchen cannot compete with the hum
blest fireside when il comes to max
ing toast and all sorts of modern
electrical devices cannot make better
toast than the good old fashioned sort
that was Drowned over a bed Of low
red Goals.
At buffet luncheon I attended not
long ago we had all sorts of good
things to eat. There were curried
ducks from Bombay, though why
they had to be brought all the
way from Bombay could not
quite tell. and strange fruits with
queer exotic flavors that tempted, but
did not satisfy, the appetite and un-
usual Turkish sweetAieats that in their
very flavor suggested the orient-and
then there were strips of toast And
of all the things we had there was
nothing that ! and, apparently, the
other guests enjoyed more than those
strips of toast, served very hot and
fresh and buttered, IN the daintiest
sort of strips that fairly crumbled
between your teeth and actually did
make your mouth wGter-so crisp and
fresh were they
And any one can have toast-any
one who can buy bread and who has
a stove of any sort. For toast can be
made without the oed of dull red
Goals. 1t can be made in gas oven
or an electric toaster. or even on one

and win grow until the missing ele-
ments are restored. either by nature or
by some artificial means. The absence
of any of these inorganic salts brings
on arrangement OF the stomach. This
affection can be spread to any part of
the body, and can soon affect the liver,
kidneys and intestinal tract, and
eventually affect the lungs.
Many testimonials are received daily
from well-known local people relative
10 the wonderful curative properties of
Plant Juice. One recently from Mr..
Henry Lockette, who resides at Bowie.
Nd, Is especially convincing. He said
Il have suffered with stomach trou-
BILE for about a year. and had tried
many different medicines and was un-
der treatment for months at a time,
but / did not seem to get any perma-
nent relief. I became SO bad that I
could not retain any food in my stom-
ach, and took nothing but the white
OF an egg. I had dizzy spells and was
terribly nervous. I went down in
weight from 15s pounds to 126 pounds.
I had read SO much about Plant Juice
that 1 decided to give ii a trial. 1t
helped me from the start, and now
since l have taken 1t for several weeks
I am feeling fine. / am not so ner-
vous. and have a good appetite. / feel
sure that Plant Juice his completely
relieved me and 1 am glad to indorse
It."
Such words az these and those of
many others which have been printed,
have wide influence, for they come
from men Of standing and integrity,
who have given Plant Juice fair trial
andshave been greatly benefited.
