Gross Income Explained for
Taxpayers

Numerous inquiries have been
received regarding the proper
Interpretation of section 223 of
the Revenue Act of 1921, which
provides that each individual
whose gross income for 1921 was
S., 600 or over shall file return
regardless of his or her net in
come.
Gross income means statutory
gross income, defined by the
Revenue Act to include gains,
profits and income, derived from
salaries, wages, or compensation
for personal service ... of what
ever kind and in whatever form
paid, or from professions, voca-
tions, trades, business, commerce
or sales or dealings in property,
whether real or personal, grow
ing out Of the ownership or use
of or interest in such property;
also from interest, rent, divi-
dends, securities or the transac-
ton of any business carried on for
gain or profit or gains or profits
and income derived from any
source whatever.
Gross income does not neces-
sarily mean gross receipts. A
merchant, for instance, in com.
putting statutory gross income,
should deduct therefrom the
cost of goods sold. For example,
q merchant may have gross re-
ceipts amounting to $4,000, but
the cost of goods sold amounts
to $1,000. He has no other in
come. The statutory gross in
come would be $1,000. In case
the other deductions allowed him
for business expenses, taxes,
interest, bad debts. etc., amount
to So. 500. his net income, would
be $500. No return of ipcome

Growing Health
In Home Garden

The home garden can help
raise the standard of public
health by increasing the amount
of green leafy vegetables in the
diet, according to the N. G..
Agricultural Extension Service,
which advocates an increase of
home gardens this year.
Vegetables have taken on ad-
ditional Importance through the
recent discovery of vitamines,
unknown a few years ago. Their
presence in fresh vegetables has
emphasized the need of a more
varied diet If health is to be
maintained in adults, and growth
promoted in children.
A recent circular, number 122,
issued by the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service at Raleigh, says
that deficiency diseases often re-
suit from starvation for one or
another of the three essential
vitamines, and it is necessary
for the good of man that the
diet contain all three of these:
'Dr. Goldberger, of the U. S.
Public Health Service, has done
notable work in the study of the
diet to pellagra in the South. He
has called attention to the fact
that the diet of the pellagrin
consists essentially of degermi.
mated cereal grains, starch, sugar,
sweet potatoes, and fat pork, a
very small amount of green leafy
vegetables being consumed, and
practically no milk. He has
changed the food of the inmates
of institutions where pellagra
was serious. and found both that
a proper diet leads to the eradi-
cation Of the disease and that
the liberal use of leafy vegeta-
bles and milk prevents the occur.

Rosemary School Notes

We feel that the Parent Teach
ers Association has been of more
real value than any one factor in
our school.
At the first of the year the
mothers gave US a cot with all
necessary equipment. This was
to be used in case of sickness or
if a child was hurt. 1t has been
used almost daily.
The mothers also became in
terested in planting shrubbery
around the school building. They
were given $500 by the Rose
mary Mfg, Co. We invite you
all to come and see this improve
ment.
At our children's fair the
mothers cleared over $14. 90. This
was used to buy books.
Thru the organization we got
the parents and children interest
ed in the milk station. Mrs.
Ogletree gave forty bottles for
US tostart our milk station with.
Others have been added since.
AT the January meeting the
mothers gave materials for sand
wiches. Which were to be sold
at recess. This was done by
each mother signing up for one
day in the week. Miss Hayes
room made these sandwiches and
sold them. Her grade has clear
ed over twelve dollars. This
money is to be used to buy a work
bench for her room. These sand
wiches made according to "Hap-
py's" idea of a wholesome sand
wich for children.
We have many other plans for
the year.
MILK STATION
All year we have encouraged
children to drink milk, but we
were not able to establish a milk
serving station in connection
with the school until the first of
this month.
We had fifteen children who
were bringing their milk from.
home and drinking it at the reJ
cess period. We have forty-fve
children who are buying milk
from the school. This makes a
total of sixty children who are
getting wholesome milk in this
school. The Sunday school classes
of the different churches are pay
ing for milk for ten children. If
any one would like to aid a good
cause contribute TO the milk fund
of the Rosemary School and
thereby allow a child to get a
glass Of milk each day. We have
one family of four children in
this school who have each gained
from four to eight pounds since
we began serving them milk in
October.

Death Rate Decreases a,
Births Increase

Raleigh. Feb. 16- With a tota
of 89,623 births registered fo
the past year North Carolina ha
broken its own record for th'
highest birth rate in the Uniol
established in 1920. At the samI
time a new low level in the deatl
rate for the state is established
with a total registration of 20, 964
deaths, These figures are pre-
liminary, and are subject tt
slight alterations as delayed GER
tificates for 1921 are filed with
the State Board of Health.
Such delayed returns, however,
cannot be sufficient to materially
affect either the birth or death
rate.
In 1920 the birth rate in the
state was 31.8 per thousand pop
ulation as compared with the
rate of 1877 for the registration
area of the country. The death
rate was 1876 per thousand popu.
lation for the state as against
1871 for the registration.
In 1921 the birth rate goes up
and the death rate is lowered.
On the preliminary figures avail
able the birth rate fer the year
is 33.1, and the death rate is ia.
Figures for comparison with the
remainder of the country will not
be made available by the United
States Bureau of the Census un-
til late in the present year. In
this connection, however, it is Of
interest to note that the state Of
New York announces a death
rate of 1872 for the past year, a
new low level for that state but
one higher than for North Caro-
lima. The city of Chicago an
nounces a death rate of II for
1921, and the health commission.
er of that city states that probab-
ly this is the lowest rate possible
of attainment.
The net increase in the total
population Of the state for the
past year, that is the excess of
births over deaths, is SO, $50, or a
rate of increase of 2.3 per cent.
If this rate of increase is main-
tanned the population of the state
will have passed the three million
mark we'll ahead of the next
decennial census.
While the birth rate is a matter
of pride, yet it is the death rate
that health officials watch most
closely, and the constantly de-
clining death rate in this state is
the cause of genuine qualification.
In terms of lives saved the
lowering of the death rate for
1921 as against the previous year
that approximately 1922
more Tar Heels are today alive
and serving their respective COM
than would have been
if the 1920 rate had prevailed.
Compared with 1914, when the
death rate was 1873, it means
that approximately 1866 more
citizens are alive today, a popu-
lation comparable with that of a
number of the large towns of the
state.
Year by year since accurate
statistics have been kept the
birth rate in the state has been
steadily climbing upward, and
at the same time the death rate
has been even more markedly
declining. The figures eloquent
ly attest the fact that North
Carolina is a good place in which
to be born and to live, and that
its people ss a whole are constant.
ly growing healthier and happier.
