AMERICAN
WOMEN LEAD
THE WORLD
They Have Beauty Health
and Brains

"a really beautiful woman is al
ways healthy woman remarked
one Of our noted beauty specialists,
for true beauty comes from the blood
and strong, steady nerves."
Rich, red blood, the fountain of life
and youth. shows itself in clear rosy
skin, solid flesh, fine form and keen,
bright mind. Red blooded women.
with strong nervous vitality, are
sought after by men; they are the
hope and leaders of the world.
American women lead the world in
health, beauty and intelligence, and
their number is increasing. They
have learned the value OF Iron and
feet condition.
THE number of weak, pale, tagged
out, run down and nervous women Is
bound to decrease rapidly, once the
power of Phosphated Iron becomes
more generally known" said lead
ing doctor. There is not reason
in the world why women should not
be strong, happy and Joy to look
upon when the remedy is at hand
"Phosphated Iron has accomplished
wonders with my patients 1t has
restored health. vitality, strong
nerves and happiness to wfole fam
lilies. It's the healthy, led, iron

INCOME TAX LAW
PUzzLINC MANY
Farmers Especially Have Some Pecu.
liar Phases Of Their Business
10 Solve.

Farmers have been confronted with
many questions of puzzling nature
under the income tax law. Almost
daily at the local internal revenue Of
fee in the postoffice building new
questions bob up in the making out OF
reports.
The most puZzling of these ques
tons is with regard to what can be
deducted as losses and earnings.
There are many phases in the farming
vocation that need definitions for each
particular question that arises. In
this connection c. X. Manning, local
income tax inspector, prepared the
following. questions and answers in
cases that have come to his notice:
Question--Suppose L buy farm
which is very much run down. with
the intention of making it into
profit paying property. To do this |
am obliged to expend large amounts
for labor in cleaning away brush, for
fertilizer. lime, etc, and for several
years the expenses will greatly exceed
the gross receipts. Can the excess Of
expenses over receipts for each year
be claimed as loss?
Answer-No. The amounts so eX-
pended are held to be investments, of
+. capital, the result of which is an i'm
provement or betterment, and until
the farm becomes a paying proposition
no portion of the gross receipts is to
be reported as income and no portion
of expenses can be claimed as de-
duction. either under the head of bus
mess expenses or under the head OF
losses.
This same ruling is equally applica-
BILE to a young orchard. If, after the
farm or orchard has been placed on a
paying basis a bad year follows and
loss is sustained in that year, that
loss may be claimed as deduction.
Question-If cattle or other live
stock are produced on a farm which l
own or operate, and are then lost
through disease, may l claim their
value at the time Of death as an al
lowable deduction?
Answar-No. If the stock which
dies was purchased and the cost has
not been claimed IN previous return
as a deduction, that cost may be claim
ed as a deduction in your return rem
dered for the year during which the
loss occurred
Queston-If a crop which is ready
for harvesting but has not been gath
cred. or a crop which has been har-
vested but has not been sold. is de-
stroyed by storm, food or fire, can the
value CT that crop be claimed as de-
duction?
AnsvertNo. II is understood. Of
course, that the actual cost Of produc-
ing or harvesting crop which has
so been destroyed by fire may be
claimed as deduction under the head
of business expense.

The production of beer is ordered
stopped December LIST to save grain
and fuel Better late than never. Con-
Gress has passed the national prohibi-
tion law making the country dry after
the first of next July until the war is
lsover and the troops mustered out. The
lfquo rmen are showing how much
revenue the Government will lose and
the awful consequences that will result
from prohibition. The poor saloon men
will lose a lot of money, they say, and
n great number of employees will be
out of Jobs. Very sad, If we look on
:4y at their picture. But never was
there such a fine time to get decent
work The cry is for men who will
work Wages were never SO high. So
lefs not worry. On the other hand let
ms rejoice that the day is close at hand
vixen our nation Is going out of the
.disgraceful liquor business. Let us
hope that hereafter our lawmakers
will be too decent to make laws licens-
ing the liquor traffic. which is just as
bad as it would be to license thieves,
bawdy houses, gambling Gems, murder
ers. and all other forms and accessor-
les of crime.
