Lady Is Loudly
Praising Dreco
Relieved Bad Case Of Nervousness,
Stomach Trouble, Biliousness and q
General Rundown System

Day by day the citizens Of Florida
and nearby states are giving signed
statements of the splendid work the
new remedy Dreco Is doing to relieve
stomach trouble, indigestion, consti-
patton, biliousness, loss Of appetite,
nervousness, dizzy spells, rheumatism
and catarrh.
Dreco attacks and eradicates the
poisons in the blood, strengthens the
kidneys, rouses the liver, and builds
up the system, giving renewed energy,
vim and snap.
Reading in the papers about the
new tonic Dreco I bought bottle
and 1t has relieved a very bad case Of
nervousness for me. I was also bill
ious, and my stomarch was weak and
full of acid. which caused gas to
form. No matter how careful Of my
diet I was, I suffered after meals by
being bloated, belching sourness and
gripping pains. Dreco has relieved
these troubles and I feel there is
nothing I can say that is too good
for this grand medicine" says Mrs.

Washington, March 5.-Instruction
for retail merchants on the filing Of
tax returns and the calculation of lax
due, issued today by the Internal
Revenue Bureau, emphasize the i'm
portance of accurate book accounts,
particularly for small business, as
the first requisite in making reports.
Periodical inventories also were ad-
vocated strongly.
The bureau suggested this formula
for determining the net income Of a
retail merchant:
add the cost Of merchandise
bought for sale during the year, to
the inventories taken at the beginning
of the year. From this sum deduct
the inventories taken at the end Of
the year. The balance is the cost Of
the goods sold. This cost, plus bus
mess, or overhead" expenses, when
deducted from the gross receipts,
gives the correct net income Of the
business. The inventory" the Reve-
nue. Bureau statement added, lis fully
as important as the cash account in
determining the gain or loss In re-
tail business.
"In making their inventories at the
end of each taxable year, retailers
may list the values by either Of two
methods: "a the cost of the goods,
or (2) the cost or market price.
whichever is lower. The freight, ex-
press, carriage and storage costs may
be added to the cost of each lot Of
goods.
Besides the net cost of goods sold,
the retailer is allowed to deduct from
his gross sales for the year the neces-
sary expenses incidental to the bus
iuess. No personal, family or living
expenses of any kind may be included
in such deductions. The ordinary re-
taller might have as expense clerk
hire, rent of business property, inter-
est on his business indebtedness, and
taxes on his business and business
property. Also, there may be ordi-
rary repairs, bad debts charged OF
the books during the year; other ex-
lenses, such as insurance, light, heat,
telephone, feed for delivery horses,
repairs and upkeep of delivery wag-
ons. supplies and upkeep for motor
trucks, etc.

a retailer may claim reasonable de-

HERE'S A MERCANTILE PoINTE

HERE'S A MERCANTILE POINTED
Strasburg, Ohio, has a population
OF a dozen more'n a thousand,
And doesn't seem much of town;
But about three years ago
A man who knew business
When he met it on the street
Opened a mercantile establishment
With q firm determination
That he'd make a big success.
He also determined to spend
Three and one-half percent
OF his gross receipts, cash,
ON LEGITIMATE ADVERTISING
When this man advertised
He had his advertisements written
In clean, impressive way
And he had the goods
To back his every statement.
And here is the result:
Last year he did a business
That aggregated $427,735.97--
With his advertising bills
Amounting to $15,36O.47-
Or less than four percent
OF his entire transactions.
I'm merely mentioning this
To suggest that other merchants,
With a careful expenditure,
And clean attractive place,
Can come pretty burned near
Doing the same identical thing
Right here in West Palm Beach.
But they must kill the idea
That the more goods they handle
The higher percent profit
Is always and forever needed;
For it's just the other way.
Yassum
thank you.-Thorn in Palm Beacl

WON'T RUN, SAYS EDMONDs
MayoraIty Candidate Should Be
Party Man, He Writes

The type of man the independents
should support for Mayor is pointed out
by Franklin Spencer Edmonds in ex-
pressing his unwillingness to be can
didate. Mr.. Edmonds's views we're
given in letter to the City Club. whose
mayoralty poll he led.
Your candidate" Mr.. Edmonds
wrote to Joseph II. Hagedorn. the clubs
director of civic affairs, should be a
man who can combine all of the in
dependent strength with the largest
number of ordinarily Republican votes.
He must be man of unquestioned
independence and yet, in my Judgment,
he should have more party regularity
than I ever had in municipal affairs"
Mr.. Edmonds declares the ousting of
contractors from dominance in the city
government should be one of the cam.
paign's chief issues.

made clear that you are not trying to
change the players, but you are deter

In control of the Ware Republican or

ton board men were appointed who

Trained finally from registering. This
was precisely what, the organization
wanted.
Under the new board, which is
pledged to the appointment of fair reg
istrars, the independent citizen will be
encouraged not only to register. but to
g" to the polls. The absence of police
men and tiremen eliminates the so :
called poll terror.
Heavy Vote Expected in Fall
Under these conditions we look for
an unprecedented registration and in
addition. an unprecedentedly heavy vote
this fall.
"Of the more than 400, 900 assessed
voters in Philadelphia not more than
5000 have registered for years. while
considerably less than that number
voted. This was due to the methods
employed by the Ware organization in
dlscouraging and preventing registration
of any but their own people,"
1t is definitely understood that one
more name has been taken from the
list of mayOralty candidates. 1t is
that of John 7. Windrim.
A new name has been added to tie
list, that of Charles L. Brown. prcsi-
dent judge of the Juvenile Court.
Brown is regarded in some political
circles as an available compromise can
didate. There are still considerable
number of peace loving Republicans
who desire to see the white wings of
harmony f1utter above the warning fac t.
