INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
INFORMATION FOR DAWSON
NEWS READERS IN MAKING
RETURNS NEXT MONTH.

| Frequent inquiries are received from
storekeepers and other business men
as to whether the taxpayer in business
for himself may deduct from his gross
earnings an amount OF salary paid to
himself. Wages or salary drawn by a
TAXPAYER from his own business are
more in the nature OF a charge out OF
profits than charge against profits.
If deductible they would merely be
added to his income, and the effect
would be to take money out OF one
pocket and put it in another. There
fore, claims for such deductions are
not allowable
Salaries paid to minor children en-
ployed in the conduct OF a taxpayer 5
business are not allowable deductions.
If, however, a son or daughter has at
tanned majority, or is allowed free use
of their earnings without restriction,
a reasonable amount paid as cOmpen-
sation for their service may be claim
ed.
A farmer who employs man to as
sst in the operation of his farm may
deduct from gross income the amount
paid for such services Likewise, if he
employs a woman whose entire time
is occupied in taking care of the milk,
cream, butter, and churns, or if her
services are devoted entirely to the
preparation and serving of meals fur
nished farm laborers and in caring for
their rooms the compensation paid
her is an allowable deduction. If, how
ever, she is employed solely in car
ing for the farmers own household
no deduction can be made.
In arriving at net income upon
which the tax is assessed deductions
may be made for ordinary and neces-
sary business expenses. The revenue
act specifically prohibits the deduction
OF personal, family, or living expenses.
Such expenses include rent for a home,
wages of servants, cost of food and
clothing for the family, education OF
children, land all items connected
with the maintenance, well-being and
pleasure of the taxpayer and his fam
ily."

MA AND PA GRENSTEIN
CONDUCT A BREAD LINE
DISTRIBUTING FOOD FREE TO
THOSE WHO MADE LIVING
FOR THEM IN PAST YEARS.

CHICAGO, Ill-The line forms
every morning at 5 O'Clock.
Two months ago, when the bottom
dropped out OF the labor market, 1t
was lust short line in front OF Ma
Place" at 901 South State street. To-
day it had grown to two blocks IN
length-two blocks OF patient, silent
men,
Mas Place" is a small restaurant,
and the patient, silent men are wait
ing for hot coffee, steaming soup and
plenty of rolls and bread. After they
are fortified they start their daily
search for work, but most Of them are
back the next morning. Once III a
while one OF the faces in the line dis
appears, but it is Immediately replac-
ed by two new ones.
Ma" is Mrs. Morris Greenstein,
and Tor eleven years her husband and
she ran a saloon in South State street.
1t was one OF those saloons where a
nickel used to buy beer enough for
the whole family, and there were no
strings to the free lunch. When pro-
hibitiOn came the GreensteinS convert
ed their saloon into a restaurant. Bus
mess continued good, and the Green
STEMS waxed normally prosperous.
Then four months ago these two vet
ran South State street observers saw
a change. Business was not so good.
The men on the street-men who
shuf1ed along with slouching Shout
ders-were becoming more numerous.
Then the mems faces began to show a
little pinch. Then Ma and Pa Green
stein held a conference.
1T was from these men," said Ma
Greenstein today, that we made our
living when they had money. Now
they have none, but we have money
we saved So every morning we are
giving it back to them. All the coffee
they can drink all the suop they want,
and all the bread and rolls they can
eat Why? Because you don't expect
a man to start his days hunt for
job on an empty stomach"
Ma looked tired as she spoke. There
are huge pots of coffee to brew, count
less loaves of bread to slice and soup
to cook, and Ma and Pa do it all
alone. Pa and Ma admitted today they
would be glad if sympathizing persons
would come and help them with the
work but they will continue distrib-
uting the free food to those who made
the living for them during the past
years.

MONEY OF U. S. FREELY
LADLED TO THE ALLIES
SENATOR'S ALLEGE IRREGU-
LARITY IN LOANS. DISCARD
ED RUSSIANS FINANCED.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Since 1917
the representatives OF the fallen Ke-
rensky government of Russia have f.
nanCed themselves here from a fund
subscribed in the main by the United
States government it was charged
before the senate judiciary committee.
WAS there not fund of $59,O00,-
600 existing when the Kerensky gov
eminent fell, which was mainly sub
scribed by the United States, and
which has been used since that time
to finance the Kerensky embassy"
Senator Reed asked Nicholas Kelley,
assistant secretary Of the treasury in
charge OF foreign loans, who was ap-
pearing before the committee.
There was such fund but | do
not know how much was contributed
by the United States" Kelly replied.
How much is LETT" Reed continu-
ed
"A few hundred thousand dollars, "
Kelly replied when a check is drawn
against the account the City Bank
calls us and asks approval. We have
never refused it"
Loans granted to allies following
the armistice for other than war
purposes" were scored as irregular by
members of the committee.
Did you make loans for other than
war purposes?" he was asked.
yes, we lent money to feed civil
ians," Kelly said.
What was that for?" Reed continued.
1T paid their expenses at the peace
conference" Kelly replied
,,,o
penses?"
q think we would have had the
power to lend a power $5,000,000,"
Kelly declared.
Senator Smith Takes a Hand.
What authority had you to lend
any money for purposes other than
the prosecution of the war;" Senator
Smith, OF Georgia, asked. Il do not
see you had any authority"
ooh, yes, we complied with the
second liberty loan act" Kelly de
clared.
Il disagree with you. Are we col
lecting interest? Are they defaulting?'
Smith continued.
No, they are not defaulting," Kel-
ly declared.
Then what are they doing? The
act says they should pay interest, !"
Smith continued.
1t was developed that credits ag-
gregating So, $4,000 were given to
Czecho-S lovakia OF which sol, 100000
was lifted.
This money was to feed civilians
and to pay for war supplies purchas-
ed before the armistice," Kelly de-
clared.
why did you lend money without
insuring that there should be interest
tor Kellogg asked.
1T was recognized that the foreign
payments as the law provides? Sena-
nations would be given money and
we took short time obligations" de-
clared Kelly. Then we were to get
bonds"
Did you ever get bonds?" Senator
King, democrat, OF Utah, asked.
. I'VE never got the bonds" Kelly
said
There is $1297O1633 remaining to
the credit of these foreign countries,
is there not?" Reed continued.
Yes" Kelly agreed.

TALKING CHILD" TALKS ON,
BUT CHANGES THE SUBJECT
Backbone Out of Place, Surgeons Say.
Treatment Begins to Restore It.

WAUKEGAN, Ill.-Eight-year-o1d
Miriam Rubin, the talking girl,
ceased her wandering talk today for
time, the first real break nj ten days
.of ceaseless chatter. Sending out val
entnes apparently brought the child
brain partly back to normal, and while
she continued talking it was about the
necessity OF getting her valentines in
the mail to her many friends and to
her teacher:
Miriam sat up in bed in the Rubin
home, made pretty little colored val
entnes for her playmates, talked in
diligently with her overjoyed mother
and father and didn't seem to realize
that she had been talking at all. The
relief came after treatments had been
administered by DR.. Paul Berger.
DR.. Berger, with other physicians,
were practically agreed after a num-
Der of examinations that the third and
fifth vertebrae had been sprung out
OF place Treatments were given to
correct this trouble and it was believ-
ed that in a short time the pinched
nerves controlling the organ OF speech
would be returned to normal.

Bob aired Women Must
Steer Clear of Zion City
For If You Don't and Boss Voliva

Gets You He'll knock Your Head"
CHICAGO, Ill-Women with short
hair, bass voices and fondness for
publicity and men with spats, middle
names and tea-room mustaches were
warned away from Zion City today in
the regular morning eX-cathedra roar
of Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva.
Addressing his flock, the apostle de
nounced women in congress and men
in velour hats He announced he would
bludgeon any Zionist who fell into
these prevalent weaknesses and con
fessed desire to have offenders re-
main outside his jurisdiction.
In addition to such relatively shop
worn phrases as Woman's place is III
the home and man tied to apron
strings is poodle dogs brother, the
overseer got away with some really
Nolivary remarks; to wit:
God never intended that a woman
should go around wearing breeches
and suspenders and felt hats.
1T is an outrage the way some OF
these women stand around on street
corners bowling like short-horn bulls.
Let lis take the word OF God, which
tells us that the man is the head OF
the house. The woman is the neck,
NO woman will preach in lions
church, | tell you that right now.
IF any women in this town want to
be men and | find out about it I'll
knock 'em on the head"

Clear, PeaC1y Skin
Awaits Anyone Who
Drinks Hot Water
SAYS an inside bath, before break
fast helps US look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry,
bright, alert-a good, clear skin and
a natural, rosy, healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. II
only every man and woman could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands of
sickly, anaemic-looking men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy
compilations; instead of the multi
tudes of nerve wrecks" "rundowns,"
''brain Tags" and pessimists we
should see virile, optimistic throng
Of rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetenine and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and whb
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which
will cost but trifle, but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and remark
able change in both health and appear
ance, awaiting those who practice in
ternal sanitation. We must remem-
Der that inside cleanliness is more i'm
portant than outside, because the skin
does not absorb impurities to con-
taminate the blood while the pores in
the thirty feet of bowels do.

RECOGNIZE SON IN A CONVICT
 CHORUS.

Columbus. O., March 31.-LemueI Gary, district superintendent of a large life insurance company, yes terday sat in a meeting of under writers, listening to a male chorus composed of convicts from the Ohio penitentiary. In the prison uniform was a young man named William Gary. Friends of the insurance man began commenting on the likeness of his name with that of the con- vict. They called the convict down from the stage.
 There was an instant recognition by the insurance man of a son; by the convict of a father. Rising to his feet the father introduced the convict to the audience, saying he had not seen his son for IA years
 As closing number, young Gary, with his arm linked in that of his father, sang Dear Old Daddy" and there was not a dry eye in the au- dience. This is the happiest day of my life" said the father.
 Young Gary, sentenced from Cleveland for automobile theft will be released next month.
