CONGRESS WILL
CONSIDER WAYS
TO PAY BONUS
Expects to Take Action on
Soldiers Payment Before
February.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Three plans
for raising revenue to pay soldier
bonus" will be laid before the House
Ways and Means Committee when Con-
gress reconvenes Jan. 3 with the expecta-
ton that a compensation bill will be
framed before February
Members Of the committee, 1t was
learned, have reached the conclusion that
any bonus" bill reported to the House
must carry its own levies to meet the
obligations which 1t creates. With this
in mind, the following plans will be
offered:
L Manufacturers and business
sales tax, with tax on imports.
?. Special tax on legalized sales of
non Intoxicating beers and wines.
3. Receipts frcm a special bond is
sue based on the refunded foreign
loans.
Chairman Fordney of the committee al
ways has favored the manufacturers sales
tax to raise the money for a cash bonus"
on the basis of 81 a day, with a maxi
mum of 1920 for overseas service and Of
$500 for service in the United States.
The plan OF Representative Volk of
New York, for a sales tax will be thor
Oughly investigated by the committee and
tax experts will be heard in explanation
and criticism. The bond issue plan has
not met with strong support because of
the possibility of delay facing the settle
ment of the $11. 600, 600, 600 indebtedness
for foreign government to the United
States.

THE HEALTH CENTER.
Correcting Physical Defects.

EuySASdA ACAONeSs
1.-THE medical examination for
military service showed that about
one-third of the men suffered from
physical defects which made them
unfit for active military duty. A
large proportion of the defects dis
covered could have been prevented
If attended to in early life. Others
still could be cured or relieved by
proper medical attention.
You will do we'll to read over the
following carefully; it may help You
to improve your own condition or
that of your children.
The time for patriotic service has
not passed. The health of the ycath
of the Nation, indeed of all its citl-
zens, is the greatest asset of the i>a-
ton. We must not lose the lessons
of the war; we have paid too high
price for them.
1t is your duty to your family, to
yourself, and to your country to
keep well, to improve your health
to the highest degree, to assist in
making the Nation strong and fit for
the great tasks ahead and for the
happier and larger life that awaits
the people of this war-torn world.
Defective Eyesight.-Be sure that
your vision is corrected by properly
fitted glasses. Have this done Dy
an eye specialist, eye dispensary or
eye hospital. Do not try TO fit
cheap glasses to your own eyes.
Eye strain from badly fitting glasses
may in time seriously affect your
eyesight or health.
Teeth.-Decayed roots, infected
gums, decayed teeth which can not
grind may cause many forms of
serious disease, and should have i'm
mediate attention. Get artificial
teeth if the grinding teeth are mis-
sing, for if you do not properly chew
your food, your health may suffer.
Brush your teeth at least twice a
day. If you have aching or decayed
teeth or much gold work or many
filings make sure that the roots are
not diseased; have an X-ray exami-
nation made. This is important if
you have rheumatism or any joint
trouble, for which other causes can
not be found.
Nasal Catarrh, Adenoids, Enlarged
TOnsils, Mouth Breathing.-T h / S
condition very commonly develops
in childhood and demands careful
attention on the part of the parents.
When properly treated, in some i'll
stances by simple operation, it is
often a durable condition. When
left untreated it may lead to de-
formity of the mouth and nose, to
poor development of the chest, and
to permanent weakness"

INCOME TAX RETURNS.
Work OF Collecting Tax For 1920
Begun.

Work has begun on the collection
Of the income tax for the year 1890.
Uncle Sam, through the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, is addressing to
every person in the United States
the question, What was your net
income for 1920?" The answer
permits of no guesswork. Every
single person whose net income for
1920 was 1000 or more and every
married person whose net income
was $4,000 or more is required to
file return under oath with the
collector of internal revenue for the
district in which he lives on or be-
fore March Is, 1921.
The penalty for failure is a fine
of not more than $1,000 and an ad-
ditional assessment of Is per cent
of the amount Of tax due. For
which refusal to make return the
penalty is a fine of not more than
| $4,000 or not exceeding one years
Imprisonment, or both together with
! the costs of prosecution. A similar
penalty is provided for making a
false or fraudulent return, together
with an additional assessment Of SO
per cent of the amount of tax
evaded.
The income tax applies to women
as well as men. Husband and wife
must consider the income Of both
plus that of minor dependent chill
dren, and If the total equals or. ex-
ceeds $4,000 return must be filed.
A minor who has a net income in
his own right of $1,000 or more
must file a separate return. To be
allowed the $4,000 exemption a
married person must be living with
husband or wife on the last day of
the taxable year, December 81,
1920. Divorces, persons separated
by mutual agreement, widows and
widowers, unless they are the sole
support of others living in the
same h, ~ehold, in which case they
are allowed the $4,000 exemption
granted the head of family, are
entitled only to $1,000 exemption.
The normal tax rate for 1890 is
the same as for 1913 per cent
on the first $4,000 of net income
above the exemption and per cent
on the remaining net income. This
applies to every citizen and resident
of the United States. In addition
to the normal tax a surtax is i'm
posed upon net incomes in excess OF
$4,000.
Full instructions for making out
returns are contained on the forms,
copies of which may be obtained
from collectors of internal revenue.
Persons whose net income for 1920
was $1,000 or less should use Form
1O40A. Those with incomes in ex-
cess of $4,000 should use Form
1910.
4 Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to assist
\ taxpayers in making out their re-
turns. The date Of their arrival
and the location Of their Offices Will
be announced by the press or may
be ascertained upon inquiry at the
Offices of collectors. This advisory
| service is without cost to taxpayers.
