Mr.. c. A. Allen, R. R. No. 2,
Bondurant, Iowa, gives testimony
to the healing power of Pe-ru-na.
Influenza left him much run down
in health with catarrh of the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes punct-
uated with attacks of asthma. He
writes:
"While recovering from the In
fluenza I was so weak I could not
gain any strength for two months.
The latter part of the winter, I
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na and
began taking it. My weight in
creased to Us pounds, the most I
ever weighed.
My usual winter weight is 155.
If you can use this letter for any
good, you are perfectly welcome"
Such evidence cannot fail to con-
vince the rankest unbeliever of the
merits of Pe-ru-na.
Insist upon having the old and
original remedy for catarrhal con-
ditions.

Roelf that her eyes dwelt and rested.
1t was with him she walked when she
was silent and the others talked. It
was as though he were her one son,
and had come home. Her face was
radiant, beautiful.
Seated next to Dirk, Dallas said,
In low voice: "There, that's what I
mean. That's what 1 mean when 1
say want to do portraits. Not por-
traits of ladies with string of pearls
and one lily hand half hidden in the
folds of d satin skirt. l mean char
acter portraits of men and women who
are really distinguished looking-dis-
tinguishedly American, for example
like your mother"
Dirk looked up at her quickly, half
smiling, as though expecting to find
her smiling, too. But she was not
smiling. MY mOther!"
"Yes, if she'd let me. With that fine
splendid face all lit up with the light
that comes from inside; and the jaw
line like that of the women who came
over in the Mayhower; or crossed the
continent in covered wagon; and her
ewes! And that battered funny gor-
geous bum old hat and the white shirt
waist-and her hands She's beauti-
full Shed make me famous at one
leap. You'd see"
Dirk stared at her. 1t was az though
he could not comprehend Then he
turned in his chair to stare at his
mother. Selma was talking to Roelf.
"And you've done all the famous
men of Europe, haven't you, Roelfl To

and you've got it in your hand. Little
Roelf Pool. And you did it all alone.
In spite of everything"
Roelf leaned toward her. He put
his hand over her rough one. "Cab-
bages are beautiful" ne said. Then
they both laughed as at some exquisite
joke. Then, seriously: What fine
life you've had. too, Selma. A fIll life,
and rich one and successful"
I'll" exclaimed Selma. why, Roelf,
I've been here all these years, just
where you left me when you were a
boy. 1 think the very hat and dress

ing, seen nothing. When l think Of all

Wild geese are extremely wary, and
take nothing for granted. While feed

Many of the Maoris of Australia
consider that their race had is ORR
gin in Hawaii centuries ago, it has
been revealed by Ratina Jakoba,
prominent Maori. He is at Honolulu
with a group of Mormon church work
ers from Australia to visit the famous
Mormon temple at Lake Oahu.
Jakoba said that he had traced his
ancestry back to a chieftain named
Hema, who ruled the island of Hawaii.
After devastating war in which
Hema was defeated badly and forced
to flee he and a few companions set
sail for the south In huge war canoes.
Maori legends have it that they landed
in New Zealand and lived there for
several years. Later Hema returned to
Hawaii, where the residents worsbiped
10 as their supreme being. Hema re-
turned to New Zealand and many peo-
pie accompanied him. He also took
the image of 10.

Your Income Tax
No. 3

If you are single and support in
your home one or nor persons close
ly related to you and over whom you
exercise family control, you are the
head of a family and entitled under
the revenue act Of 1924 to the same
personal exemption allowed a
ried person., $4,000. In addition, a
taxpayer is entitled to a credit of
$500 for each person dependent up
on him for chief support, if such per-
son is either under 18 years of age
O cnriapable Of self-support because
mentally or physically defective.
Such dependent need not be a mem
Der of the taxpayers household. For
example. an unmarried son who sup
ports in his home an aged mother IS
entitled to an exemption of $4,000
plus the $500 credit for a dependent,
a total Of $4,000. If from choice the
mother lived in another city, the son,
although her chief support, would be
only to the $1,000 exemption
olus the $500 credit. The mother not
living with him, he is not considered
he head of a family.
An exemption as the head of a
can be claimed by only one
member of a household.
The $500 credit does not apply to
he wife or husband of a taxpayer,
hough one may be totally dependent
pom the other.

Your Income Tax
No. 2

NO. Z
The exemptions under the revenue
act of 1924 are $1,000 for single per-
sons and $4,000 for married persons
living together, and heads of families.
In addition a $500 credit is allowed
for each person dependent pom and
receiving his chief support from the
taxpayer, if such person is under IS
years of age or incapable of self
support because mentally or physi-
cally defective.
The normal tax rate under the
revenue act of 1924 is 2 per cent on
the first $4,000 of net income in
excess of the personal exemptions,
credit for dependents, ETC., A per
cent on the next $4,000, and 6 per
cent on the balance. Under the pre-
ceding act the normal tax rate was 4
per cent on the first $4,000 of net
income above the exemptions and
credits, and 8 per cent on the re-
naming net income.
The revenue act of 1924 contains a
special provision for reduced taxes
which did not appear In previous laws.
All net income up to $4,000 is con-
sidered earned income" On this
amount the taxpayer is entitled to a
credit of 25 per cent of the amount
of the tax.
For example, a taxpayer, single
and without dependents, may have re-
in 1924 a salary of $4,000
and from a real estate transaction a
profit of $4,000. His total net income
was $4,000. Without the benefit of
the rs per cent reduction his tax
would be $50. His actual tax is $50.
From his net income Of $4,000 he is
allowed a personal exemption of
$1,000; the tax of 2 per cent on
The first $4,000 is $50, o%ne-fourth of
which, or $40, may be deducted.
For the purpose of computing this
credit, in no case is the earned net
income considered to be in xcess of
$1,000. A taxpayer may have re-
.eived for the year 1924 a net income
rom salary of $4,000, but the 25
,er cent credit can be applied to only
,ne-half of this amount.

The revenue act of 1924 provides
that the status of a taxpayer relative
to the amount of his personal eXemp-
tions shall be determined by appor-
tionment in accordance with the
number Of months the taxpayer was
single, married, or the head of a
family. Under the preceding act the
amount of the exemption to which
the taxpayer was entitled was de-
termined by his status as a single
person, a married person, or the head
of a family on the last day of the
taxable year, December 81, if the
return was made on the calendar
year basis, as most are.
For example, a taxpayer married
on September 80, 1924, would be en-
titled to an exemption of $1,375. For
the first nine months he is classified
as a single mar emitting him to an
exemption of S750-three-fourths of
the $1,000 exemption allowed a sing
lie person-and for the last three
months he is entitled to an exemption
Of S625-one-fourth of the $4,000
exemption allowed a married person.
If on June 80, a taxpayer ceased
being the head of a family-the sup
port in one household of a relative
,r relatives being discontinued-he is
allowed an exemption of 81, 750-one
lalf of the exemption of $1,000
a single person plus one-half
# the exemption of $1,000 granted
he head of a family. With regard to
he $400 credit for a dependent, the
axpayer's status is determined as
f the last day of the taxable year.
during the year, his support of
UGH dependent ceased, he is not en-
tiled to this credit.

Labor. While yet in its infancy, away

The plank was unsuccessfully OPP

would be an interference with in

was no greater crime under the heav-

factories; that children are driven in
to factories by brutal fathers. Boys
are training for criminals and girls
for prostitutes. Charges that little

ment giving rise to the present dis
c%ussion, as follows:
Immediately after the second de-
cision of the Supreme Court in May,
1922, the president of the American
Federation of Labor called a meeting
of representatives of prominent ma
tional organizations of women and
men which organized the Permanent
Conference for the Abolition of
Child Labor. 1t was held June 1, 1922
The executive council brought the
matter to the attention Of the Cincin-
natl convention, and upon this recon-
m%endation the convention decided
that Flag Day, June IA, 1922, be set
aside and observed by the convention
to permit labor to express its protest
against the legal difficulties placed
in the way of protecting child life.
The addresses delivered received
wide publicity and awakened the con-
sciences of those who up to that time
had been apathetic in their duty in
preservation of child life. Thereafter
the voice of the people became so
loud and insistent that Members Of
Congress took heed and % bills for
the protection of child life were in
PRODUCED in the two Houses, 26 of
them providing for amendments to
the Constitution. July 6, 1922, a sub
committee met in New York to draft
a proposed constitutional amendment
to present to a subsequent meeting of
the Permanent Conference for the
Abolition of Child Labor. After ev-
eral meetings of the permanent con-
ference the following draft of a pro-
posed amendment to the Constitu-
ton was adopted: "The Congress
shall have power to limit or prohibit
the labor of persons under Is years
If age, and power is also reserved to
he several States to limit or prohibit
such labor in any way which does not
essen any limitation of such labor or

Congress by this article shall be ad-
l~itional to and not a limitation on the

7ebruary "a, 1928, that the Senate
judiciary Committee reported on the
arious amendments to the Constitu-
ion that had been submitted to the
,enate. The committee recommended
he following: "The Congress shall

ge of 10 years" The same proposed

For two days she was kept
prisoner in the hut by the fury
of the storm and then she left

ROAD MUST CONTINUE TO
TAKE LIQUOR SHIPMENTS

Alcoholic liquors figured in de.
cision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission today when that body
ordered the Louisville and Nashville
railroad to continue to receive
liquor shipments in less than car
load lots.
The road complained that since
the Federal prohibition law went
into effect it has found it neces-
sary to police each shipment from
the time of receipt until arrival
at destination. The expense Of
policing liquor in transit in less
than carload lots, the road said, Is
greater in most instances than the
revenue received. The railroad
maintained that less than carload
lots should be shipped by express.
because the express company is
equipped to guard the liquor as 1t
guards other articles.
