NO EXPENSE DEDUCTED.

In determining the tax liability,
no person is permitted to deduct
house rent, grocery bills, doctors
bills or any other living expense
which is personal to the individual
taxpayer or his family. In addition
to the income tax, the law levies
tax, which applies to individuals,
partnerships and corporations. The
information as to how this excess
profits tax applies can be ascertain
ed by addressing letter to Col
lector of Internal Revenue E. B.
Craig, Nashville, Tenn, in which
letter all of the facts must be stated
and information desired must be
called for so that an intelligent
answer can be given.
In determining the income tax liza
bility of any individual, such indi-
vidual is entitled to deduction of
5000 on account of each infant un-
der the age of IS years living with
and as member of the family, but
if such infant or infants have any
income, 1t must be stated as a part
of the income of the head of the
family seeking to avail himself of
such deduction of $500. The income
of the husband or wife may be made
separately or jointly. If the income
of each exceeds $1,000, both must
sign the return or make separate re-
turns, which must be pinned to-
gether. Since only one specific ex-
emption is allowed to husband and
wife, this specific exemption may be

THE AMERICAN FLAG

Wave on thou glorious banner OF the
free,
Till nation near and those beyond
the sea
Snail feel and know thou standeth
for the right.
Scorning the Hun doctrine that right
follows might.
May thy stripes of red and beautiful
face of blue,
Inspire our brave soldiers to be
stanch and true
Till freedoms call shall ring over
all the earth;
Ever rejoicing in freedoms new born
birth.
Out from thy folds ring the sweet.
song of liberty.
Championing the right and national
security.
Peace thou proclaimist for those who
do right;
Backed by strong nations indom-
table might,
Searching for weak spots to help,
And exalt over cruelty and outrage
Which Germanf has taught to be
The best way to conquer the nations
they hate;
Forgetting to take thought of their
own future fate,
Denying the commission to uphold
true democracy,
Caring for nothing for peoples per
sonal liberty.
But the truth thou proclaimest will
finally prevail
And teach the Hun in his brutality
that he must not assail
All that is dear to people who can
not fail
To secure the goal for which they are
striving,
For love. truth and justice are things
that are abiding.
