rs YOUR INCOME TAX REPORT INq

Collector of internal Revenue Evan
Evans of the Idaho District wishes to
warn all income taxpayers and indivi-
duals who are required to submit re-
turns, whether taxable or not, that
they must have returns in the collec-
tors office, or in the hands of deputy
collectors, by March Is, and if not
they will be subject to heavy penalties
and interest.
The following persons are required
to file returns:
All single persons having net in
come of $1,000.
All married persons having net
income of $4,000.
All persons having a gross income
of $4,000.
There has been an extension of time
to May 18th for filing partnerships
and personal service corporation re-
turns, but this does not relieve the in
dividuals of the partnership and per-
sonal service corporations, as their in
dividual returns must be in by March
18th.
The personal exceptions allowed are
as follows:
Single persons $1,000.
Married persons living with husband
or wife on the last day of taxable
year, if net income is $4,000 or less,
an exemption of $2500 plus $4o0 for
each dependent under 1S years of age,
or if over 1S, and either mentally or
physically incapable of self support.
Married persons living with husband
or wife on last day of taxable year,
if net income exceeds $4,000, an exemp-
ton of $4,000, plus $400 for each de-
pendent under 18 years of age, or if
over IS, and either mentally or physi-
cally incapable of self support.
Gross income means gross receipts,
less cost of goods sold.
Some taxpayers have become confus-
ed as to filing returns thinking that if
their income is less than their person
al exemptions that they are not re-
quired to file returns. This is not the
case as all net incomes of $1,000 for
single persons and $4,000 for married
persons, require returns to be filed,
whether taxable or not.

your money as the one who has been

"In a Nice hotel | encountered a

DOCTORS DILEMMA IN CHINA
Ignorant and superstitious Natives
Beseech Physician to Perform All
Kinds of lmPossibiIitics.

The rain was coming in sheets, and
we had to stop at three this afternoon
I Since then l have had a number of
patients. A boy Of eleven, who fell
over a cliff and broke his arm, eleven
/ months ago, is here with all his reIa-
tives, asking me to make the bones
grow together again. There was no
treatment for the arm when the acct
dent happened, for the native doctors
know nothing Of surgery. They bound
some yile-smelling concoctiOn to the
arm with bamboo splints and put an
other plaster of the same mixture on
the back, ito draw the bone up" The
arm is, of course. useless. I suggested
an amputation, but the relatives will
not consent to a mutilation of the
body. The boy tried to prove to ME,
by opening and closing his hand, that
the arm had life, and he would not be-
lieye me when l told him that the
ends Of the bone could not be brought
together except by an operation. An
old woman, bedridden for many years,
Is lying in the rain, on a stretcher
made of sackcloth and bamboo poles,

her some medicine to make her fleet

sitting on the bank, begging for relief
from the terrible disease that is slow
ly killing him. He promises to spend
his life in making prostrations before
me if l will condescend to heal him. A
girl with tubercuIar sinuses in her
bound foot tells me that she is to be
married soon and that her future hus-
band says he will beat her if she
comes to him in poor health.
About four o'clock we went out for
a bit of walk. a poor woman on the
bank held out her emaciated baby and
asked me to make it see. Some |
ignorant medical practitioner had run
needles into its eyes to drive a demon

Social Climbers in Germany.

Old decorations and titles are still
craved by social climbers in republican
Germany. This is shown in a case in
which an international imposter and
his accomplice, who is a Iunatic. were
tried for fraud, says the Montreal
Herald. The prisoner was charged with
having Travelled over Germany repre-
senting himself to be a papal count
and chamberlain of the Vatican and
selling papal baronetcies and orders
for thousands of marks each. The
titles are said TO have been solemnly
bestowed by the demented accOmplice,
who was formerly a veterinary sur
geon, and whose mania is believing
himself to be a ruling prince. A
Munich art dealer paid 10000 marks
for d nOnexistent Lateran order. while
Il Frankfort merchant underwent
solemn investure as Maltese knight.
But when the new knight did not pay
the promised sum he was deprived of
his title. which originated only in the
fertile Imagination of the false papal
count.
