"OURBIT"Mus Be- OUREEST"

sustain those who fght. do not like
the phrase do your Bit We must do
vastly more than a 'bitr We must do
our best"
Facing the immen7ny Of the worlds
war task It is dangerously easy to
think our individual service Is or no
consequence-that our occasional Thrift
Stamp and our wheatless meals are
enough Of Bit from persons so busy
and so poor as ourselves.
But here is the truih-he whose bit
is less than his best Is "slacking."
The soldier who coined tho phrase
Of the bit" offered his best and thought
it too little Many Of US who parrot
his words so easily love them because
Of that word BIT To our blind and
selfish impulses it whispers "a bit is
enough
In our homes let us not be content
with the bit" requested by the food
admlnistration-th single wneatless
end meatless day. Our aims should
not be to satisfy our conscience-and
critical neighbors-with "blts" OF food
conservation, but 10 bend all our
thoughts. our energy, and our patriotic
zeal toward the BEST we can do in
food saving-the bit" that is demanded
Of women.

BY BEDDY BYE.

In the early days OF the war some
modest Britsher, blushlng under the
homage paid by his fellows TO his he
roism at the front, muttered that he
deserved no special glory-he had only
been doing his bit"
The humble phrase was caught up by
q million tongues, and after three years
Of dreadful fighting and sacrifice Is not
outworn, but is stili beloved and ia
m'liar TO us as the handful or words
which best expresses our universal
longing TO have a part in this struggle
for world democracy, and our humility
Of spirit in which we see that the most
we can do Is st.ll too little.
From the soldier in France whose
bit" Is the gift Of his life, to the
American school child whose errands for
Mother are transformed into Thrift
stamps we are doing our bit.
The danger is that we may rest con-
tent TO give only our Bit in a world

SUGGESTS MONEY BAGS
FOR U. S. SOLDIERS

Mrs W. G. Temple. mother Of the
Rev. William G. Temple, pastor Of ST.
Ellzabeths r. C Church. has received a
letter from her daughter. Mrs s.
Dolan. Of Red Lands, Helen's Bay.
County Down, Ireland, in which she
tells Of the landing there OF the sur
yivors Of the torpedoed troopship Tus-
cania, several weeks ago.
Mrs. Dolan, who Is a member Of the
executive comml tee Of the Belfast
Branch OF the American Red Cross,
with others. went 10 meet the survivors
and spoke OF the shouts and cheers that
went up from the rescued men when
they learned there were Americans IN
the assemblage meeting them The loss
Of their money by nearly all the men
prompted Mrs. Dolan TO put the follow
ing suggestion into her letter:
There Is one suggestion would
like 30 make In the equipment Of our
men. ] wish each man would be pro-
vidcd with a belt or bag OF some kind
10 put his money in, something that he
would be ordered 10 wear as part Of his
uniform, so that he would have his
money with him. One poor fellC " was
i'm and escaped In P 3 pajamas, leaving
S7OO in his trunk Another chap lost
s3O0 This IS such a terrible waste. II
each chap was commanded 10 carry his
cash with him il would be such q
saving"
The writer hopes that some American
will advocate this measure and take
steps to provide the boys with money
belts.

THE INCOME TAX
business and Personal Losses.

Losses. for Income Tax purposes,
are divided into two classes:
(a) Those incurred in business or
trade and ,b) those resulting from
transactions entered into for profit
but not connected with the tax
payers regular business or trade.
For example: "A" is regularly
engaged in buying improved or un-
improved real property with the in
tention Of selling the same as early
as possible at a pro1t In one or
more instances the property pur-
chased may be sold at a loss, and
that loss may be claimed by him as
a deduction for the reason that he IS
regularly engaged in bu ing and
selling real estate. Now "B" buys a
home or, pc haps, he buys two or
three pieces Of property in the
course OF several years. He Is not
regularly engaged In buying and
selling real estate. Only so much
OF his losses as does not exceed the
amount OF gain or proflt derived dur
ing the same year from other trans
actions entered into for profit, but
not connected with his regular busl-
ness or trade, can be claimed. II
"B" in 1917 sold one property az a
loss OF $1,000 and another property
at a gain OF $1,000, he must report
the gain OF $1,000 under "Gross In
come" and can claim only that
amount as a loss.
This same rule Is applicable In the
case OF losses arising from pur-
chases and sales OF stocks and
bonds II the taxpayer Is regularly
engaged In buying and selling such
securities. any losses he may suffer
may be claimed under the provls-
ions OF the law II he Is not so en-
gagged Il may only be claimed under
certain other provisions.
