NET income" for the purpose of
making out an income tax return, is
gross income less certain deductions
provided for by the revenue bill. The
current act allows the ordinary and
necessary expenses and specifically in
cludes salaries for personal services,
and rentals paid for business pur-

allowed. Under the 1917 act deduc-
tions for such losses were allowed only
to the extent of gains in similar trans
actions. If, for example, a person
made $1,000 in one stock marqet trans
action and in another lost $4,000, he
was required to include the $1,000 in
his return as gross income and could
deduct only that amount rs loss. I'm
der the current act he is allowed a net
deduction OF $4,000.
A reasonable allowance is made for
depreciation of business property, in

lescence. In the case of buildings, ma
chinery and equipment built or ac-
quired after April 6, 1917, and ships
built or acquired after that date and
used in the prosecution of the war, a
reasonable allowance is made for am
irritation.

the depletion of oil anG gas wells,
other natural deposits and timber, and

MEDICINE VS.. FOOD.

Do not buy something which you

you feed your horses. cattle and sheep,

medicine. That is what you get in B.

it and guarantee it to be medicine.

digestion, thereby causing them to get
all the food value out of the grain that
you feed them
