Plant Juice Was
Just Like Magic
Wilmington Man G. i We 5
Glowing Testimonial for the
New Stomach Medicine.

There is no question but what Plant
Juice, the famous herbal stomach medl-
cine, now being introduced in Whining
ton at The Miller Drug Store, No. 404-
4O6 Market street, is duplicating its
success here az in other cities. Local
people are daily testifying in signed state
ments what this wonderful remedy has
done for them.
One Of the latest is Mr. Edward q.
Scott, well-known Car Inspector in the
employ of a large railroad company, and
residing at No. 1918 Lancaster avenue,
Wilmington. He said:
Notwithstanding the wonderful stories
! have heard IA we'll as read OF Plant
Juice, / would not believe il was so Won
derful il had not been convinced beyond
any doubt by my own experience with
1t, and also my wife. had been troubled
with rheumatism for number OF years
and nothing took seemed to help me;
my wife was troubled with her stomach
and was in desperate way; she had IN
digestion so bad that at times we thought
she would die; food would almost choke
her; she could not sleep at night on ac-
count of the pain she suffered with gas,
was very nervous and completely played
out; she was always constipated, had
headaches and her face had drawn,
worn-out expression always on it; she
had heard about Plant Juice and we
thought we would try it. The change IN
her was almost incredible; it acted like
magic, and now | sm glad TO say she is
able to eat any kind OF food, is always
hungry for her meals, sleeps ike child
at night and has fine, healthy color in
her face; she is not constipated any
more and her nerves are in Al condition.
When l saw the wonderful change in her
started to take Plant Juice also. 1t has
not only rid me of the rheumatism, but
built up my entire system in wonder
fully short time. We are both glad to
express our gratitude to Plant Juice in
this signed statement and hope, that it
will benefit some poor sufferer.
Plant Juice is sold in Wilmington by
The Miller Drug Store, 404-406 Mar
ket street; in New Castle by 4. Chal-
lenger & Son; in Newport by G. b.
White; in Newark by W f. Brown.

Washington. Feb. 2.--Article 1 pro-

Japan and China each will appoint a
commissioners with powers to arrange
for the transfer OF the properties. The
transfer would be required within six
months and the Japanese Government
agrees to hand over to China all
archives deeds and other papers relat-
ing to kiachow.
The second article provides for
transfer by Japan to China OF all pub

vision declares that no compensation

property except such purchased since

For these China agreed TO refund the

ditures. Another provision declares
that the Japanese consulate. schools

Japanese.
The third article provides for the
withdrawal OF japanese troops from
Shantuns especially on the railroad
and including japanese gendarmes, az

NONE IMMUNE.
All Must Comply With Income Tax
Laws.

Collector OF Internal Revenue II. T.
Graham today called attention 10 an
important change in the revenue act
Of 1921. which requires that return
be filed by every individual and fiduci
airy who has q gross income OF $4,000
or more. This change is an amend
ment 10 sections 223 and 225 Of the
act, and does not in any way alter
the previous fling requirements.
The effect OF the change Is pointed
out as meaning that small shopkeep-
ers, professional men. and business
men who have not previously filed
because their net incomes did not ex-
coed the personal exemption must
submit a return explaining their bust
ness expenses. In the past many de-
auctions may have been taken which
were not allowable or did not affect
net income within the purview of the
income tax law. The new provision,
Collector Graham explained. operates
regardless OF the amount OF net In
come TO the individual or fiduciary.
For example,. a physician may have
received during 1921 amounts totaling
Sc 900, and having expenses of $4,000,
showed net income OF 81 500. II the
physician assumes that the 81, 500 fig
ure governs the filing of the return,
his Interpretation OF the law will ne
cessitate the assessment Of a penalty
later. The same rule applies to the
business man who maintains a small
store or shop which shows receipts In
excess of $4,000 regardless of ex-
penses, deductions. exemptions, &c. In
order that no taxpayer In the district
Of Delaware will be unfamiliar with
this change in the law, deputy collec.
tors Of internal revenue have beer
instructed to advise all taxpayers o.
this provision.
1t is expected that many will have
difficulty with this part of the law
! However, Collector Graham state,
that visit TO the internal revenu
/ office with all records available TO
1921 would be Of assistance in case
of taxpayers who have no estAblishe.
