in the bill in the shape OF an amend
ment providing that none of ths
money Appropriated should be spent
in a State until that State contri-

FACTS
 YOU SHOULD KNOW

A flat rate of 10 per cent is inn posed on the net income of corpora tions for the year 1919. For the year 1918 the rate was 12 per cent. Certain corporations, mutual savings banks not having a capital stock rep resented by shares, fraternal benefi- ciary societies, bus:ness leagues, chambers of commerce. boards of trade, etc, not organized for profit are exempt from taxation.
 Every domestic corporation Is a1- lowed a specific exemption of s2,000. but, unless expressly exempt from taxation, must file a return regard less of it's net income. Returns are required also of every personal ser vice corporation, notwithstanding they are exempt from taxation.
 Personal Service Corporations.
 The term personal service corpor- ations" according to Treasury regu- lations, means a corporation the in come of which is derived from a pro- fession or business which consists of principally of rendering personal ser vice, the earnings of which are to be ascribed primarily to the activities of the principal owners or stockholders, and in which the employment of cap lta1 Is not necessary, on only incl dental" No definite and conclusive tests, however, can be prescribed by which it can be determined in ad- vance of an examination of the cor porator's return whether or not 1t is a personal service corporation. The individual stockholders of a personal service corporation are taxed in the same manner as members of a, part nership, and the net income from such corporations must be accounted for by them.
 Corporation returns must be sworn to by the president, vice president. or other principal officer, and by the treasurer and assistant treasurer

When required by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, corporations must reDder a return cu1y verified under oath of it's payments ot divi- dends, stating the name and address of each stockholder, the number of shares owned by him, and the amount of dividends paid him.
 Corporations, as we'll as individu- als and partnerships, doing a brok- craze business, when required by the commissioner, must file return showing the names of the customers, the amount of their profits or losses, and giving such other information as will enable the commissioner to determine whether all income tax on profits and gains of such customers have been paid.
 In determining net income upon which the tax is assessed, corpora tions are allowed all the ordinary deductions for business expenses, bad debts, depreciation, losses, etc., grant ed the Individuals, may pay their in. come tax in full at the time of fil- ing the return, or in four installments tha fi~~t af uhich is due on or hafore

BIC EATERS GET
 KIDNEY TROUBLE: Take Salts at first sign of
 Bladder irritation or s4A--e Backache.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kid neys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result Is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health
 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine Is cloudy, full of sediment Or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate ciogged kidneys; to neutralfze the acids in the urine so it no longer is 3 source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

IS THE COST OF
 LIVING COMING DOWN? :?

The campaign of the Government Department of Justice for bringing down the cost of living is said to be bearing fruit An official statement declares that "in some sections of the country there is a marked re- auction in prices of necessities es- pecially of flood commodities" The New York market is said to have been taken as the "criterion of prices of necessities generally and 1t shows a decided decrease in price of the most important articles, in- cluding various meats and other things most in demand by the average household,' such as bread, butter, cheese, milk, flour and green vegetables. Figures are given to demonstrate this reduction in the cost of living, but the evidence seems to be derived from retail shops and markets and not from families or feeders at clubs and res taurants
 There have been some stored up products that have lately been Ie. loose, especially by the Government, and there have been sales to appli- cants at prices below the regular market charges, but there is nothing enduring about that. Besides, we have been sending food articles abroad of late in a growing volume, and the limit of what Is needed is quite uncertain. Considering how supplies have been brought down and demands have been coming up since the latest harvests, there is not much ground for expecting any considerable fall in that cost before the visible supply is increased by another harvest. Those who are living in families of their own, and especially those at boarding houses and public tables, are not finding relief in costs in any perceptibIe degree and it is doubtful if profteec- ing has much to do with it.

It is perfectly natural and feminine to be at tracted by dress that is different, and when one is treated to sight of new gowns having dlstlnc- tive touches of handwork, why it IS hard to choose if one can have but single dress.

 An accordion plaited skirt with waist in Eton effect outlined.
 Dress of simple lines. Skirt plain and mod erately full, the bodice effectively embroidered in colored wools eccentric stitches, very chic and original.
 Brown dress with elaborate embroidery 1n antique gilt. A beautiful dress, the dull gold combining with the brown most happily.
