best and surest of all system purifiers.
They say thta calomel cieanses the
liver, stomach, bowels and kidneys and
purifes the blood from all poisons
making the system pure and clean so
that nature can quickly restore the
health.
Now that science has purified calo-
mel of all its nauseating and danger
Gus qualities, the new kind of calomel
called "Calotabs," is even more pop
ular than the old AS liver cleanser

effective than the old style calomel, yet
are entirely delightful in effect One

APRIL | LAST DAY
FOR FEDERAL RETURNS
Penalties for Income Dodgers Are
SeVere-Get Your Return
in if You Are Liable.

April 1, 1918, is the final day al
lowed under the federal income tax
law for the filing of federal income
tax returns. Persons who are requir-
ed to file returns under the provisions
of law and who fail to get their re-
turns in on time are subject to Sc
we're penalties, as follows:
For making false or fraudulent re-
turn, not exceeding $1,000 or not ex-
ceeding one years Imprisonment, or
both, in the discretion of the court,
and, in addition, 100 per cent. of the
tax evaded.
For failing to make return on time,
not less than $40 nor more than ST.
600, and, in addition, so per cent. of
the amount of tax due.
If on account of illness or absence
from home you are unable to render
your return within the time prescribed
by law you may obtain an extension
of 80 days if a request therefor is filed
with the collector of your district be-
fore the due date of the return. In
son why the return cannot be filed
within the time prescribed by law.
Collectors of internal revenue are
not authorized to grant extensions of
more than 80 days, but the commits
sioner of internal revenue has author
ity to grant a reasonable extension
beyond 80 days in meritOriOus cases
If you desire an extension of more
than 80 days your request should be
addressed to the commissioner and
should contain a detailed statement
covering the reasons which make it
impossible for you to file your return
on or before April 1.
The internal revenue men are now
completing their tour of the country,
during which they were in touch with
the people of every city and town. If
you failed to get in touch with the
deputy which visited your section it is
not too late to get advice. Consult
your postmaster as to where the near
est deputy is now. Get your blank
form, study the directions and the re-
Quirements as shown thereon and
make your return without fail if your
income was sufficient to come within
the bounds named in the law.
1t is pointed out by Commissioner
Roper that it is important that the
people comply with the federal laws
as fully as they are complying with
the drafts for men and the conserva-
ton of foods and fuel. '"The war must
be paid for" says Commissioner Roper.

The Salvation Army
Factor

Factor
(From Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
Free Press.)
A few days ago the American
people were startled and electri.
fed by the news that severa
Salvation Army girls had been
caught with the American
troops in a barrage fire during
the battle of Sercheprey, and
that amid the falling shells and
bursting shrapnel they had gone
about intrepidly ministering to
the soldiers serving coffee and
food in utter disregard of the
nearness of death.
Up to that time few Americans
had thought of the Salvation Ar
my as a factor at the front, al
though the first contingent OF
that organization to serve Ameri
can troops sailed for France as
long ago as June, 1917.
