That splendid actress now appearing under the Paramount banner is famous for her beautiful complexion. She attributes her wonderful skin to the use of a simple toilet article called Derwillo. There is nothing like it for tan, freckles, shiny nose sallow. dark, rough skin. It takes the place of face powder, stays on better. as precipitation does not affect it, and it instantly beautifies the you want a nice lily white skin with rosy cheeks, get a bottle of Derwillo today; you will be delighted.

Gentle Speech And Voice

ZINE of the most impressive and inn W y portant merits of personality are
 the combined ones of gentle speech and voice.
 Not long ago | heard very beautifully educated mana college professor-say
 Little or no attention is paid to the utterance of beautiful English in these strenuous days; the culture of the speak ing voice should be one of the most im- portant courses in our college curricu- lurns for be sure that your voice will sooner or later betray you"
 l recall a most charming woman of whom a very distinguished man once said
 Il do not remember whether or not she was pretty, but l heard her speak"
 The woman in question was the happy possessor of a most beautifully modu- lated voice and intonation, and she used perfect English always
 stead;" "din you" for didn't you:'' 'dijoo' for did you," or ''cudjoo'' for could you" or "i-dear'' for idea" and people say toe" for little old insignifi- cant "to." or too of course when people say ''gurl'' for "girl'' or UT in any word where it should be ''ir' or any of the other ten thousand and one sipshod mispronunciations or misintona- tons which are heard day after day, and hour after hour-yes even in the best Cor supposed to be the besD circles"-t is irritating to a degree.
 I remember once sitting in a fashion able glove shop in New York and I heard the most exquisite voice say:
 "I'll take a half dozen pairs of these gloves"
 1 didn't even turn my head for I knew who that lovely voice belonged to; I had heard it on the stage time and again the owner of it was the late Mrs. w. J.
 There seems to be no possible excuse for the manner in which some women speak.
 Her voice sounds like a banjo," heard

1917 and 1918-such methods tend
ing to reduce tax liability is about to
be made by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, it was announced to-day
In cases of voluntary disclosures
before investigation of failure to
make proper return and payment,
the policy of the Bureau, it was stat
ed will be to forego penalties except
where there is intentional evasion
of the tax. Where discovery Is
made by Government officers heavy
penalties will apply.
In some cases inventories have
been found to have been taken on
the basis of average costs, though II
was possible to identify the articles
remaining on hand at the inventory
period, and so determine their ex-
act cost. In others, because of con-
servative accounting methods, fiat
percentages have been deducted after

Red Gross Notes.

The different branches of the A.
r. G. in Obion County are looking
forward with much enthusiasm to
the course in home nursing and hy-
giene which is to be given by grad
uate Red Cross nurse. How much
this would have meant to. any COM
munity last year during the infiu-
enze epidemic! Thct such conditions
may not again occur, this course of
instruction will be given to all who
care to take part. Watch the papers
for the date and further particulars.
Many people may have the idea
that the work of the Red Cross Is
over, now that the war has ceased.
Such is not the case, however. The
great work of reconstruction, both in
our home and foreign countries must
be carried on. The work of fighting
infant mortality and tuberculosis
must be increased. War must be
waged against epidemics of various
kinds and funds provided for disas-
tiers which may occur at any time.
All that is asked for this time is
your one dollar membership dues to
help on this good work. Think il
over and be prepared to join or re-
new your membership. This drive
is on from November to IL. What
better way can you show your ap-
probation of the work of the Red
Cross in the past than by giving your
support to 1t at this time?

determining inventory values. Others
use fixed average, based upon costs
of prior years, or fail to include all
merchandise to which they have IT,
tie in their inventory.
All of these methods, which have
the effect of reducing tax liability,
are contrary to the regulations of the
Bureau and are illustrative, it was
said, of numerous irregularities
which have been found.
A warning issued by the Bureau
advises taxpayers who have followed
such methods to file correct returns
without notice and without investi-
CATION. Some taxpayers have volun-
tarily notified the Bureau of the
employment of incorrect methods,
and are filing amended returns. 1t
is only fair to these taxpayers, the
Bureau states, that their COMPETE
tors who have made similar errors
should be located.
