YOU SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS

tuberculosis kills 100000 men,
women and children in the United
States every year.
Most of the victims of tuberculo-
isis are industrial workers. Many are
from the farms. Nearly all are pro-
ducers Of the things on which mod
ern life depends.
tuberculosis takes its greatest
toll among workers between the ages
Of 10 and 40.
Right now more than 1000, 900
persons in this country are suffer-
ing from active tuberculosis.
Probably 100000 persons have
tuberculosis in its inactive form.
Any weakness due to illness or
UNUSUAL strain may, at any time
transform those inactive cases into
active cases.
tuberculosis menaces every com
munity, every home, every individ-
uaI.
The economic loss to the nation
AMOUNTS to $5OO,OOO,O0O, half a bill
lion dollars, each year.
Yet tuberculosis is durable and
preventible. All the suffering it oc-
casions can be averted. All the lives
it takes are wasted.
tuberculosis is spread largely by
ignorance, carelessness and neglect.
1t can be controlled by system
attic, ceaseMss effort. The National
tuberculosis Association and its
1000 affiliated state and local or
CARNATIONS are waging a continuous
and winning war on this dread af-
Fiction.
These organizations are financed
chiefly by the sale Of Red Cross
Christmas seals. With your coop
GRAFTON they can extend their work,
and in time accomplish their object,
which is to save the 10000 lives
that are being wasted every year.

a New York Evening Sun reporter.
1.-THE less grown up we are the more
we enjoy life and the thrill of living.
1t is this joy of human experience
which makes the stage possible and
which particularly aids the actor of

1.-The life of the rowing b%uccaneer of

his romantic %conquests is denied to

most sadly, "but there lives in us all
the desire to do the rash, impossible
and delightful things of our great he
roes of fiction. The wisened, colorless
little man you see on the commuters
train, who tolls by day over his prosaic
books and figures, possibly may be a
d'Artagnan or n Don QuiXote within
the infinite realm of his nocturnal
Imagination. The shop girl during
the daylight hours may be the rein

evening. She may practice before her

CLAIM OUTLOOK
 IS SERIOUS FOR
 DAIRY INDUSTRY

The price of League milk for March will be $3.36. This is for per cent. milk at the 200-210 mile freight zone with the usual differentials for freight and butterfat. The price for February was $3.4S. The reduction to the farmer is therefore about one quarter of a cent per quart.
 The average price for butter for the period ending February 20 was cheese for the same period was .3O16. The cost of production diff ferential to be added for March is Is cents together with the value of skim milk and whey.
 The outlook for the dairy industry for the coming season is serious, There is a somewhat increased sup ply of milk and the demand is rapid ly falling off because of the cessation of exports. The foreign exchange and credit situation is so bad that Euro peans have almost ceased to buy, while the exchange works in the favor of importers of butter, and Denmark is shipping large quantities to this country.
 Many health authorities and dairy men are coming to believe that the only solution of the problem, a so1u- ton which would improve the general health of the whole country and pre- serve the dairy industry is that of a national campaign of advertising similar to that practiced by other great industries, teaching the con sumer the great food and health value of dairy products.
 Farme mers on the western coast have been able to produce great quantities of all kinds of fruits and ship them clear across the continent and sell them under the very nose. of eastern growers at good prices They did this by advertising. The California Prune and Apricot Growers, an organizati ton ! of only 10000 members will spend this year S250,0 900 in advertising to
 increase the consumption of pruues 1 and apricots.
 l The citrus growers of California l have saved their industry from ruin 1 by advertising. These fruits are a i semi-luxury. Dairy products are a 1 necessity both from a food and a i health standpoint. The consum ption 1 is less than half of what it should
 be according to the best food experts If advertising will teach people to i use something which under stress
 they might get along without, it cer- i tainly should be successful in creat-
 ing a larger demand for a great food i like milk and it's products.

EGGS ENABLED
 AMERICANS TO
 WIN BIC GAMES

One of the reasons-perhaps the principal reason - why Americas athletes scored heavily in the Inter- Allied games held in the Pershing Stadium last summer has come to light with the return to this country of Lawrence O.. Murray, former Comptroller of the Currency, and for the past two years Overseas Commis- sioner of the Knights of Colum- bus.
 "It was a matter of four hundred eggs a day that helped to put our athletes across" said Murray. 'sThe Knights of Columbus, for some strange reason were not permitted
 by the military auth critics to enter the stadium. But somehow or other
 we secured a temporary lease of .rlot of ground close to the stadium and put up a tent as headquarters for
 the A. E. F.
 One of the principal American trainers came to us after the com mander at CoIombes Field had gener- ously declined to make us remove the tent. The trainer was confident that
 his athletes could win, but he com plained that they couldn't get suf- fcient good food - especially fresh
 eggs. The Knights volunteered to
 provide 400 fresh eggs each morning for the athletes, and for four weeks supplied this nation, with other neces- sary things. It meant a good deal of securing through the countryside and coaxing reluctant hens, for eggs were at a premium in France. But Casey got them, and it helped the athletes to show the world that American . athletic skill led them aII.''

Cant Give Your Taxable
 Income To Your Wife

ject of frequent inquiry. A single person is the head of family if he is the sole support of the relatives liV- ing in the same house with him, and if he exercises control over household affairs. Tn the absence of continuous residence together the circumstances of the separation may determine the amount of the exemption. Whether Or not he is the head of a family, single person. if his net income for 1919 was $1.00O or more, must file return. For example, a wido<sr has a son nine years old whom he is sup porting in a school because his in- come of $1,600 a year does not per init him to maintain a home. Since he is not married, he must file a re- turn, but as the head of a family he is entitled to an exemption of $2,OOO, with an additional exemption of $2OO because of the dependent child.
 Mere support of a dependent who continuously and without necessity resides elsewhere than in the home of the taxpayer, however, does not confer the s2.000 exemption, though, it may be made the basis of a claim of $2oO for a dependent. For each person (other than husband or wife) dependent upon him for support the taxpayer is allowed an exemption of $2QO, provided such person is under IS years of age or incapable of self support.
 This exemption does not depend upon family relationship nor whether the taxpayer and dependent are mem bers of the same household. Thus a taxpayer, unmarried and living in the city, who supports a mother incapa- be of self-support and who from choice lives in the old homestead in the country, is entitled to an exemp- tion of $1,200. The separation is not one of necessity. If, however, the mother should live under the same roof with the son, he would be en- titled to the $2,00O exemption allow ed the head of a family.
 Careful study of the forms now in the hands of collectors and deputy collectors of internal revenue for dis tribution among taxpayers will aid greatly in the filing of a correct re- turn. If, however. the taxpayers meets with unusual difficulties he may call upon the bureaus experts, who ere visiting every county in the United States to assist taxpayers in makins experts is offered without cost, but failure of the taxpayer to see them does not relieve him from his ob1iga- tion to file his return, accompanied by at least one-fourth of the amount of tax due, on or before March IS, 1920.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-02-25

Numerous inquiries are received by collectors of internal revenue, con- corning the Income Tax in it's relation to the combined net income of hus- band and wife. Occasionally these questions indicate that there is in the mind of the taxpayer the impression that income received by the husband if turned over to the wife may be re- garded as a gift and therefore is not taxable. Such, however, is not the case. If the combined income of hus- band and wife for the year 1919 equaled or exceeded $2,O00, a return must be filed on or before March 15, 1920. The combined net income of husband and wife in excess of $2, 900 is taxable. The law provides also that the income of minor dependent children must be included in the re- turn of the parent
 For example, husbands net in come for 1919 was $1, 200. His wife, employed as a Seamstress, received from such work net income of $500 Two minor sons, dependent upon their parents, each received $500 as mes sengers. The total family income was $2,7O0, from which may be de- ducted the personal exemption of $2,0O0 plus $20O for each dependent son, leaving a taxable income of $500, on which, at the normal rate of per cent, the tax is S12.
 Where the combined income of fus- band and wife is $5,00O or less the wife's return may be included in that of her husband. Where the com bined income exceeds $5,000, separate returns are required for the purpose of computing the surtax. which ap- plies only to incomes in excess of that amount.
 The following will serve as an illus tration of the combined tax on hus- band and wife: The net income of a husband for 1919 was $7,000 and that of his wife $2,000. From the hus- bands income may be deducted the personal exemption of $2,000. On the first $4,000, at the normal rate of 4 per cent, the tax of $160. On the re- maining $1,000. at the normal rate of per cent, the tax is $50, making the total normal tax of the husband $240. In addition he pays a surtax of 1 per cent. on the amount of his net income between S5,00O and $6,O0O, amounting to $10, and 2 per cent. on the amount of his net income between $6,00O and $7,00O, amounting to $20, making a total normal and surtax of $2TO. The wife can claim no personal exemption, and her entire income of $2,000 is tax ed at the rate of 4 per cent, being less than $4,000. The combined in come of husband and wife on an az gregate income of $9,OOO is $35O.
 The exemption of $2,000 allowed the head of a family also is the sub

Tin Life Preservers
 Held Whisky Supply

Another new method. of transport ing whisky came. to light yesterday. Two men who had been aboard the Portuguese ship Mormugae at Pier c, Jersey City, playing cards with mem bers of the crew, attracted the at tention of A. E. Burton, customs guard of the vessel, on account of the bulkiness at their waists as they started to leave the ship yesterday morning. He made an exam1nation and found that the men wore inn provised tin life preservers, each belt containing more than a gallon of whisky. The guard took the whisky to the Customs House at Bowling Green, but the men have not yet been arrested.
 Harry Sesun was held by Commits sioner Hitchcock yesterday in $500 bail for trial. It is charged that pro- hibition agents Friday night found Sesun in possession of a tbirty-gallon still at 29O Cherry street The agents said they found fifty gallons of mash fermented and ready for use.
 William H. Anderson, State Super intendent of the Anti-Sa1oon League, yesterday issued a statement in which he said that all statements made re- gently by Judge John Barton Payne, e1o S4A1AA 1l1SsA O1 1lS OA1ALCA hoto~ICEo AOAA4P ping Board, relative to the alleged blighting effect of prohibition upon American shipping should be consid- cred in the light of the fact that Judge Payne has been a liquor at torney. "The U. s. Shipping Board has been an offensive partisan against prohibition, claiming that the people ought to have a chance to decide the question:" MT. Anderson said.

SAINT VERONICA.

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers" wrote the great Apostle, flor thereby many have entertained angels unawares.' Veronica, on the morning of the Way to Calvary, Zen tertained'' the Lord of Angels The story or legend has been accepted by the Church for ages Bernice or Veronica lived on the road that led to Calvary outside the walls of Je- rusalem. As Christ bearing His cross fell under it's weight near her house, the blood and sweat stream ing from His brow obscuring His eyes, this woman moved with compassion wiped His face with her veil. On the Sth of De- cember, 1854, when Rome was crowd ed for the promulgation of the'' I'm maculate Conception" the Pope Pious TX, permitted the -relates to gaze through the grille at the Veil of Saint Veronica before which lamps burned day and night. The veil had come down through the ages. The Face they saw was one Of the grandest fea- lures ina inable, and it was the Face of the final Judge. Though a loving Face, it was terrific.
