INCOME TAX FACTS

No. q.

The changes wrought during 1919 by births deaths, and marriages in many families materially affect the liability of members for Income Tax. Millions of babies have been added to the family circles, each of whom brings an added exemption of s2JO on the parents Income-Tax return.
 On the other hand, several millions of boys and girls become support ing and they form d new crop of in come-tax payers. Also, the grim reaper brought it's many sorrows and removed many dependents and many of the breadwinners themselves.
 Accordingly, it is pointed out by In- ternal-Revenue Officials, there are mil lions of persons who must this year from new angle. For their new ernS for the new year.
 Widows and widowers who lost their mates during 1919 are especially affected. They must remember that unless married again before December 31, they are single in the eyes of h. cone-Tax law. Similarly, those who were divorced or otherwise separated from their wives or husbands must consider themselves as single persons But a widow is not required to show ] on her personal return the income o her husband up to the date of his death; and the same is true in the case of a widower who suffered the l loss of his wife during 1919.

EMBROIDERED LINEN BED.
 SPREADS.

There has been a reaction from ex- tremely elaborate furnishings for the boudoir. Gorgeous bedspreads of all- over Italian filet lined with simmer ing satin. chaise tongue pillows of valenciennes lace and silk, and the like, have been rather overdone by the army of the newly rich which has sprung up during the days of big war contracts. Women of taste and refinement are now furnishing. their boudoirs less ostentdtiously and sheer handkerchief linen, embroidered by hand and put together with narrow bands of real filet or crochet lace. is considered the most distinguished thing for bedcovers, dresser covers and chaise tongue cushions. These beautifully embroidered linens are placed over slip covers of silk in deli cate, pale shades and a lovely sum- mer bedroom is being designed for a young matron, the room to be all in faint green, gray. and misty white. The walls are gray, with garlands of gray and pale green leaves along the cornice. The window draperies are of silver green satin and the white net
 The furniture is pale gray enameled wood, some of the chairs having cushioned seats of green and silver brocade. And all the covers. for bed dresser, chaise tongue and so on, are of cobwebby fine Handkerchief linen embroidered by hand in white and edged narrowly with white 1let.

CONCERNING WOMEN.

Of the 262 620 persons employed by the telephone companies in the United States in 1917, I'll, ,119 or more than 65 percent were women.
 The City of Winnipeg, Canada, has decided that married women shall no longer be employed in municipal po- sitions, except in exceptional eases.
 With the exception of Oxford and Cambridge, all of the British unfver- ,sities have opened their medical de- grees to women.
 Some of the trades in which British women are being trained are bootnak ing, burling and mending, domestic work, blouse and shirtwaist making dressmaking, towel weaving, etc. Nurses in Aurora, H., are talking 1 Of forming a union and demanding s;z hours sleep and eight hours recreation

SCALP TREATMENT.

Devote at least 10 minutes, and if
 possible half an hour or more, to the
 following scalp treatment and massage
 every night.
 |: 1. Shake the hair out well. Part it
 at the back and gently brush out all
 tangles. Do not hit the scalp with the
 brush as this shocks the nervous sys-
 tenn, and the process should be a
 soothing one.
 Let the strokes be firm enough to reach the scalp, and rapid enough to excite mild electric current, which will act as a tonic upon the hair
 bulbs. This will set the oil glands at
 work and encourage vigorous growth. After. the brushing rub the scalp gent W.
 into the skin of the scalp at the tenn ples and make series of little wheel like movements from the sides above the ears way back to the neck. Then begin atsthe forehead and make the wheel like movements on the ton and down to the back of the neck. This movement should be made all over the head
 3. Press the fingers firmly into the scalp, one hand at the front, one at the back, and make a pushing move nnent, as if trying to force the hands to meet. Make such a movement all over the head.
 5. Tap slightly with the sides of the l hands all over the head: one hand sisofid be raised while the other de- scends. Then braid the hair into i've loose, hanging braids and allow it tc remain otherwise unopened for the night

NEW JERSEY NO EXCEPTION.

When Commiss 'oner Roper of the international revenue department a1f- nounces that all violations of the federal prohibition law will be pro- ceeded against to the limit of the law, he lets it be known that the passage of any such law as that pro- posed in New Jersey legalizing beer containing three and a half per cent. alcohol does not knock out the fed- cral law.
 The effort In New Jersey is simply an attempt to defy the federal law. It is move to get an expression by the legislature of that state contrary % the national law. and would mean of course that the federal authorities would be put to greater trouble in the enforcement of prohibition. The point cannot be lost sight of that the that notifications or changes in such a law must be made in Washington.
 When the prohibition law declares that the manufacture and sale of Ii quors for beverage purposes contain ing one-half of one per cent. or more Of alcohol is proi-iNitnd it is not null flied by any state law that legali the sale Of beer and wines. If such could be done there would be noth ing to stop the manufacture and sale of whiskey in just the same way.
 There can be no question but what if a state adopts any such Legislation 1t can be regarded as displaying tn, strong disapproval against the prOi1i bition law and therefore a state 1T which greater efforts toward the en. forcement of the law must be made and where no assistance in such en. forcement can be expected from tn. state and local authorities.
 New Jersey may be strongly op- posed to prohibition, and it has show evidence that it is. but it will be mer' to its credit to work for a modified tion of the federal law than to at tempt to say it is nuIliAed by stat. 1 action.

RAIslN BREAD FOR TEA HOUR

Something a bit more toothsorne than boxed crackers for serving with afternoon tea is raisin bread sliced thin as a wafer and .buttered lightly. It is more hearty than crackers, too, and provides a taste for sweetS-if you have no cake, to serve with the tea. Raisin bread can be made very easily. and if wrapped in oiled pa per will keep fresh for a week. It is very good thing to have on hand when guests drop in unexpectedly. and there is no time to bake biscuits or send out and get tea cakes.
 Put three cups of four in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, two tablespoons of sugar and four teaspoons o1 baking powder. Stir in a cup of raisins, blend- ing them well with the flour and other dry ingredients. Beat in an egg we'll. pour over it a cup and half of milk, and add to the mixture. Lastly, add two tablespoons of melted shortening. ! Pour into buttered loaf pan, or into two smaller loaf pans, and bake in a ] slow oven for 40 minutes.

RETURN OF RAILROADS.

None. barring possibly the mem trrs Of the railroad brotherhoods, viii be surprised at the action of President Wilson in signing the rail- road bin and making it law in time Co take care of the railroad situation as the government lets go it's control and turns the lines back to the own CTS To have listened to the appeals for the vetoing of the bill would have simply meant a response to a small part Cf the people and disregarding the interests of the much greater number. Fearful of their own inter- csts the railroad men were entitled to make such an appeal as they did but they were not justified in thinking that tho president was going to con- tinue tO advance their position to the detriment of others
 The signing of the bill indicates that President Wilson Is convinced that the bill should become law. that taers are provisions therein for deal Ing with the railroad employees in a satisfactory manner. that is a man ner that will do justice not only to them but to the roads and to the public. and he wisely takes the op- portunity to urge the railroad men to early action ia order 10 take advan- tage Of them. It is significant in view of the appeal to the president from the decision of Director General Hines In the recent wage dispute that President Wilson should point out to the brotherhoods that he regards the law appropriate in the interest of the public and also in the interest of the railroad employees as a class.
 Prom now on of course the roads are under private direction and sub 3ect to the provisions of the new law The going hack took a lot of debat- ing but the actual return was with out trouble. Each road has beer aware of the coming change 70 that h should he prepared to handle it's own operations without the public being aware of tae change lest 1t bt ln tho way of improvement.

ToNleHr's TOWN MEETING.

Even if it is an adjourned annual town meeting that is to be held to- night. that furnishes no excuse why fhere should not be a full attendance. The business that is to be done is of sufficient importance to command the attention of the many rather than the few and this is the time for those who may desire information about the matters tO be disposed of to se- euro their enlightenment.
 This adjourned meeting is held at this time for the purpose of laying tho town tax. based upon the action of tho meeting last October when practically all the appropriations wer,, made. and also upon the new grand list as perfected by the boards of assessors and relief. To have laid tho tax last fall would have meant taxation in accord with the old grand list. Fixing it at this time after the new list has been completed permits thc advantage to be gained Of such changes as are made by the new as- scssmcnt.
 Eut ii is not solely the laying of tho tax that is 10 be done at tonight's meeting. There Is to be heard the re- port and recommendations ofthe spe- ciul committee named at the Octo- Der meeting for the purpose of con- siderinE what should be done in the Eav of a permanent office. better equipment and increased renumera- ton for the board Of assessors. This board has gone carefully into this matter. it's recommendations have tfsn published and action thereon viii bo taken tonight. The commit tee viii undoubtedly be prepared to make such explanations as may be called for regarding their views which. from the fact that a Jmani- nous report is made. indicate that tho conditions found warrant the expenditures recommended.

dwell on the earth"
 Here it will be seen that these souls had conscious existence and recollection of their earthly injuries when in the body.
 In the other text John says T saw the souls of them that were behead- ed Co., the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God and which had not worshipped the beast. nor received his mark in their foreheads or in their hands and they lived, and reign ed with Christ a thousand years"
 thousand years, we admit. is not immortality, but it is a good start, and as there is no intimation that it was to be extinguished, we assume, as John seemed to believe, that their existence was to be eternal
 Now MT. Editor. so far as the matter of intercourse between this world and the next is concerned. we think the Saviour settled that in the negative, by his parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Permit us to say that we hold the parables of Jesus to be real recitals of fact, and not fic- ticious novelettes. According to the story two men died whose lives had been at the extremes of society. The rich man was buried-he had a fu- neral, most Hkely suited 10 ms state in rank. Lazarus died, too, and was carried to Abraham's bosom by the angels-no funeral worth naming In that after state the rich man was , anxious to communicate with five brethren that were yet alive; so as to warn them against his fate.
 Yes, he even wanted Lazarus to be sent as medium, but we recall the answer given him by Abraham The communication was forbidden. They had Moses and the prophets-let them hear them. This was sufficient l and the conclusion of the argument was that if they would not hear
 Moses and the prophets neither would l they be persuaded if one rose from l the dead. Such indeed is the obtuse- 1 ness of men who are in error that l the more light is thrown on theil | pathway they become the more de- i termined and persistent-so that it ii
 a question is any one today can bt convinced by argument.

THE noL LshEvIk APPEAL.

The question must naturally arise as to whether the boishevik regime in Russia is actuallt slipping. through a recognition of the serious obstacles that have already been encountered and those to be expected in the fu ture or whether its leaders feel that having beaten off the forces opposing them they are now in a position to bid for the approval of the world and are doing so by promises of reforms ard the assumption of SO per cent of the nations debts.
 In the efforts to bring about peace full conditions on the part of Euro pean nations 1t is recognized that there is need of many supplies that Russia has. It is likewise appreciat- ed that there Is evidence of change in the conduct of the affairs in that country when it is promised to call a constituent assembly. Such a step is claimed to mean that bolshevism will be knocked out but how Lenine and Trotsky have been converted to any such possibility, unless they have been actually convinced that bolshevism cannot be maintained, is not indicated. The situation is made the more difficult since there has been no definite policy adopted regarding the Russian problem, no war has been declared between the parties at interest and the allies have always been considerate for the welfare of the Russian people. Instead of rely ing upon any promise to call con- 5titHent assembly it would appear to he wise to have such a step taken before any recognition is given. The setting up of government that can be recognized would be step that would command serious attention The bolshevik leaders are apparently locking for outside aid in order te keep their government going. but ir view of the manner in which they have conducted affairs. what assur- ance is there that the promises tfae1 offer in the way of reform and obli- gations are any more than the scraps of paper on which they are printing their bolshevill money.

Stories That Recall Others.
Paid No Attention,

Jack is some boy. All the neigh bors admit it. His original sayings and slang, repeated after hearing it from incautious neighbors, are well known in his street.
 Jack" said his mother one day, ''go over across the street and get T. UT. J. being his baby brother Jack had reached the mature age of three and three-quarters, while T. J. had just got around the corner of two.
 Presently Jack came home without T. J., and to his mothers question as to why he did not bring his brother, said: Mother, I clapped my hands and talked with my mouth, and T. J. wouldn't pay any attention to me"
 The First Time.
 The other evening a bachelor went out to call on one of three sisters of uncertain age. The snow storms had left the street next to impossible in front of that house. So the fellows roadster "stuck" and the neighbors had to go to his assistance and help him out.
 One of the women in the neighbor- hood listened to her husbands ac- count of the happening and then commented: Now that fellow is the first beau they have had at that house for years. It does look like a shame after nature helped lodge him and his machine there for you med dlesome men to go and pull him out

trator. And the deceased is entitled to exemption for the full year based upon his status at date of death.
 The bride and groom of 1919 must figure up the income of each for ths full year and consider it jointly with respect to Income-Tax requirements, even though they may not have been acquainted during part of the year. Their status on December 31 joins them for full year.
 The InternaI-Revenue Bureau points out that a persons status on Decem- Der 31 governs two things: First, the requirement. to file a return if the single individual had net income of s1, 900 or more, or if the married couple had a net income of $2,000 or more; second, the exemption that may be claimed on any return of net income.
 And it is emphasized that the re- quirement to file a return has no re- lation to the personal exemption, and that a person can not avoid filing q return merely by the fact that no tax is due.

CAN THEY AGREE?

For the time being it appears to he tho inclination of the European powers to reach an adiustment of tho Adriatic question without creat- ing friction in any direction. They have indicated a willingness to listen fo tho notes of President Wilson and Co all intents and purposes undo all that has been done and attempt to rcach an adjustment by making a now and different start According tO the plan it Is intended to let Italy and Jusssizvia attempt to get to- rcther under such an arrangement as thsy vin agree to. That would mean the cleaning of the slate so far as any agreements entered into by the allied nations as a whole up to this time nrs concerned, though of course it weuid not affect the treaty of Lon don
 Much therefore would depend upon Gss possibilities of an amicable agreement between the nations di- rertly interested They have been so far apart in the past that it seems almost useless to make such an at- tempt but 1t will never be known what can be done by such a plan un- Ui it has been tried.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

If the hair falls out eat raw carrots and other vegetables. They contain the minerals which the hair needs.
 Don't powder section of your face. It will only make it the more conspic- uous.
 Don't forget that you have a neck, and therefore draw the powder line di- rectly under the chin. Some women's s faces look as though their necks didn't match.
 Don't leave the powder in the crew ices of your face This Is uncleanly and often gives the face a cemented look.
 Don't let your eyebrows and eye lashes get sprayed with powder If they do, take damp bxush and go over them. Massage always helps to make the scalp assume a normal condition. Of course excessive ofliiiess of the scalp is an abnormal condition, 50 massage would be beneficial.
