END MENTAL STRAIN.

Mental strain is one of the worst things that happen to modern man. That depression of feeling, loss of ap- petite, lack of desire to sleep, is an- noyin,g in the extreme. One wants to walk fast but is deterred. One wants to think fast but is hampered.
 Snap out of it! the army officer would command but to the civilian there is not, that dread of superior authority. But there is a way in which to invigorate the mind. The Turkish and the Russian bath has that effect and almost immediately for it starts the circulation, gives rise to sleep, and rids the body of much that is poisonous to the nerves as we'll as the esh.
 Alex Maise11, manager at the Atlas Baths, deals with such patients daily. Consult him. His advice is free.

VIRGINIA VALLT HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE

All automobiles look alike to Vir- ginia Valli. And after this she will look before she leaps into a motor.
 One day last week Miss Valli, who has so many screen engagements she feels none of the much advertised "depression," went shopping, accom- panied by a friend. Leaving the shop. she got into what she thought was her own automobile, there to wait for the aforementioned friend.
 She waited for twenty minutes. Then came a strange man who de- manoed to know what she was doing in his motor.
 Miss Vaii explained that she thought it was her own motor. that she had neglected to look at the in- iials on he door, that she was no au- tomobile thief, and that it was all a sad, said mistake.
 And now she is thankful that she was not arrested.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF
 FARM BUREAU MONDAY
s. Mclean Bucking- ham Will Be Principal
 -3 Speaker

" An important meeting of the mem bers in this section of the Litchfield County Farm Bureau is scheduled to be held at Odd Fellows hall next Monday, February 7th at 1:30 o'clock. s. Mclean Buckingham, president of the County Farm Bu- reau and one other speaker will be present to tell of the benefits to be derived from organization.
 Some remarks have been passed regarding the actual accomplish ments of the farm bureau in this vicinity. The principal reason for this is lack of cooperation on the part of the people of the town and lack of support. Get interested in the work of the farm bureau and you'll be surprised how much bene- fit will be derived from active parti- cipation in the great work it is trying to accomplish, but which can never succeed until those interested in agri- culture are interested in the work of the bureau. '-'
 County Agent Davis and Miss Moss will also be present and ready to assist in every way possible to not only make the meeting success but to help you solve the problems with which you have been confront ed. Everyone, especially the ladies are invited. . --

THE INCOME TAX
Revenue Officers to Visit Every
 County 10 Assist in Returns

Work has begun on the collection of the income tax for the year 1920. Uncle Sam, through the Bureau of Internal Revenue, is addressing to every person in the United States the question, t'What was your net in7 come for 1920?" The answer per n1fts of no guesswork. Every single person whose net income for 1920 was $1j080 or more and every mar rfed person whose net income was $2,000 or more is required to file a return under oath with the collector of internal revenue for the district in which he lives on or before March I5, 1921
 The penalty for failure is a fine of not more than S1,O0O and an addi- tional assessment of 25 per cent of the amount of tax due. For wiilful refusal to make return the penalty is fine of not more than $1O,000 or not exceeding one years imprison- ment, or both together with the costs of prosecution. A similar penalty is provided for making false or frau dulent return, together with an addi- tlonal assessment of 50 per cent of the amount of tax evaded.
 The income tax applies to women as we'll as men. Husband and wife must consider the income of both plus that of minor dependent chil- dren, and if the total equals O. eG- ceeds $2,00O a 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 allow ed the $2,O00 exemption a married person must be living with husband l or wife on the last day of the taxable year, December 31, 1920. Divorcees, persons separated by mutual agree ment, widows and widowers, unless they are the sole support of others living in the same household, in which case they are allowed the $2,0OO exemption granted the head of family are entitled to s1,0G0 exemption.

 It is the claim of the, President of the United States, the Governor of this State and many other noted public people, that never in the his- tory of this country has a more inn portant appeal gone out to the American people to relieve the terrible suffering of these little chif dren. a.,t @,e-$g, ..~ .tst. ..,4 ...-.
 Cennecticut is definitely expected to quickly do its part and in order that this may be accomplished and that the State may "Go Over The Top", 1t is very necessary that we have as strong and concerted ac- tion on the part of the residents of the town as can be secured.
 No canvass will be made for funds, but it is hoped that every organization, both fraternal and business, as we'll as every individual, will contribute something to this relief campaign. Miss Roraback will gladly give any further information and be glad to answer any questions regarding the campaign.
 The European Relief Council IS an amalgamation of the American Friends Service Committee, Ameri- can Red Cross, American Relief Ad- ministration, Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Jew ish Joint Distribution Committee, Knights of Columbus Y. M. C.. A. and the Y. W. c. A., formed by MT.
