The Physicians club Of Keokuk
held one Of the best meetings it has
had this year, last night, in the pri
vate dining room of the Y. W. c. A,
where the men had dinner together
and afterwards listened to addresses
by out-o-towr speakers.
DR.. W. S. Conkling, of Des Monies,
and DR.. H. ?. Bierne, of Quincy, were
the especially invited guests and
each talked during the evening. DR..
ConkIing spoke on Sex Hygiene and
Education" and DR.. Bierne gave an
address on Physics and the Uses of
Radium."
DR.. Bierne supplemented his talk
with two reels of motion pictures
which illustrated the process Of
manufacture Of radium from carno-
High Tension club rooms from the
"Y'' and the pictures were shown at
the latter place.
DR. Bierne's address was very in
teresting and instructive. The pic.
lures which he showed contained
views Of the ore plant in Colorado
from which 50 per cent of the ra-
dunn produced in the United States
Is Obtained. III 1llUSITdLlUR HOW IldI u
II was to obtain the radium and what
a scarce article it was, the speaker
explained to the physicians that out
of 200 tons Of ore twenty pounds OF
uranium ore could be obtained, and
the proportion of radium to this
uranium ore was one to two million.
The talks given by the out-of-town
guests last night were ones of gem
eral interest to other people besides
the men of this profession, and 1t is
probable that there will be open
meetings later on during the year, to
which the public will be invited to
hear the speakers whom the Physi
clans club provide for their meet
inga.
The physicians hold a business
meeting and dinner once month,
and upon various occasions invite
members of their profession from
other cities to be present at their
sessions. This is the first time that
visitors from out Of the city have

U. S. INCOME TAX
EXEMPTS NOBODY

MARCH is LAST FILING DATE.

Nobody is exempt from Income Tax
An obligation is laid directly on the
shoulders of each citizen and resident
TO consider his own case and to get his
return in on time If one is due.
With each return showing tax due
a payment must accompany the return
In the full amount of the tax or at
least one-quarter of the tax.
All returns for 1919 must be filed on
or before March Is.
Must Show True Figures.
In figuring up his earnings for In
come tax purposes 2 person must take
into consideration all Items of taxable
income, and each item itself must be
accurate in amount. Guesses and es-
Inmates must be avoided, for the re-
turn is made under oath.
Everybody who had an income dur
ing 1919 must now determine whether
ais or her net income was sufficient in
amount to require an Income Tax re-
turn. The best way to find out is to
get Form 1040A and follow the In
structions printed on it, That form
win serve as a reminder of every item
of income; and If return is due, it
tells how TO prepare and file it.
One of the important points to keep
in mind Is that a persons net income
Is found by computation prescribed
in the law, and that each item Of In
come from every source must be con-
sidered. unless specifically exempted.
Another thing TO remember is that
the personal exemption allowed tax
payers by law has no relation whatever
to the requirement to file return. This
exemption is not to be considered until
a person has figured out his net in
come and determined whether II was
sufficient to require him TO file a re-
turn. Then, if a return must be filed,
he should read carefully the instruc-
lions for claiming exemption, and COM
plete his return.
II in doubt on any point as to income
or deductions, person may secure
free advice and aid from the nearest

hours.
Heavy Penalties in Law.
For failing to make a return on time
the penalty is a fine Of not more than

to the tax. il any. For making false
or fraudulent return the penalty is a
fine of not more than $4,000 or i'm.
prisonment not exceeding one year, or
both; and. in addition, 80 per cent OF
the tax. There are other penalties for
failing to pay tax when due and for
understatement of the tax through
negligence.
Many Sources OF income.
Aside from what one may earn by
his services, there are many other
sources of income. If he sold any
property during 1919 he must figure
ont the gain realized II he rented
buildings, land. apartments or rooms

able, and he may claim deductions for
necessary expenses incidental to rents
Bank interest is a common source
of income and is taxable whether with
drawn or not. Any amount of interest
credited to depositor is income to
the depositor.
Interest on mortgages and notes is
taxable; also bond interest received
from corporations.
A taxpayer who cashed his insur-
ance during 1919 must report as in
come any excess received over the to.
tai of premiums paid.
Members of partnerships or personal
service corporations or beneficiaries of
an estate or trust must report their
shares of income distributable TO them
whether or not actually withdrawn.
Dividends of domestic corporations
must be reported Many other forms
of income are taxable, unless specific
ally exempted.
