Income Tax Tough
on AlimOny Club

CHICAGO, Feb. 2-The "alimony
club" here is wailing shrill walls over
what it terms the injustice Of the in
come tax law.
The case Of one man is typical Be-
ing divorced, he is listed as a single
man under the law, with an exemption
Of only $1,000. He pays $50 month, or
$1,000 a year, alimony. His three chill
dren, who live with their mother, but
are supported by him, entitle him to
exemptions Of $500 each, making his total
exemption 81 GOO But, as alimony is not
deductible, he fig res his actual exemp-
ton at only s. o, amounting TO little
more than az the minimum exemp-
ton intended by the income tax law
to be allowed to every individual as the
amount necessary to live on.
"There are thousands of others here
in the same boat" said this man. "The
INCOME tax law sure is hell on us grass
widoweTs."

result in backache, headache, weak
ness and nervous exhaustion. Yet
ever the mother love watches over
the little one regardless of aching
head and wearied body.
But for her baby's sake every
mother should keep strong and Wig
orous. She should renew her
strength to meet this steady sap
ping of her vitality.

until new one" sprang up several
weeks ago.N
He is the 'girl burglar" specializing
in stealing girls from their beds-or
rather attempting to steal them, for so
far he has met with failure In three
attempts, due to pursuit by irate parents.
POLICE CALL HIM
MOST BATTLING.
He is. the most battling burglar the
police have yet had to deal with, and
a city-wide dragnet has been spread for
the man
His latest attempt was at the home OF
Walter Rick, No. 321S Dodier street,
where, in the wee, small hours the
burglar crept in, grabbed 12-year- old
Viola Rick from her bed and dashed
from the house. The girls screams
brought her father In pursuit. Clad only
in his night clothes and barefooted, the
father dashed after the kidnaper. who.
when on the verge of capture, dropped
Viola, wearing only her sleeping neg
ligee. in a snowbank and disappeared up
handy alley.
