of Douglas, Bisbee, Warren and Lo-
we'll, Chief w. J. Nemeck of the

Improving At Hospitn1

Favorable reports are given, re-
gard1ng the condition of James

The S256,000 income tax reduction
is due to the fact that the exemption
allowed heads of families, married
and single persons is increased $1,000
and the rate decreased 1-2 of one
per cent on the first $4,000, which is
an enormous saving to the taMpay-
ers in the salaried class compared
with the rate applicable prior to
1920. In 1918, taxpayer who had
an income of $4,000 and married, would
pay a tax of $3.50. Under the new
law the same taxpayer would pay a
tax of $16S7.
This comparison should be eX-
tremely pleasing to the smaller tax
payer" said Collector Towles. mot
withstanding the large reduction in
federal taxes since 1921, Uncle Sam
has been able to reduce the national
debt over three billion dollars. This,
no doubt is due to the general pros
perity of the nation and the con-
servative expenditures of the admin
istration."
Although the Arizona office faces
tax reduction of nearly one-half
million dollars, Collector Towles de-
clared that the marked expansion
and prosperity in every class of bus
mess in the Arizona district will fur
nish sufficient tax to absorb large
portion of the taxes wiped out by
the act.
Another reduction provided for in
the act reduces the. tax on cigars
from $3.50 to 81 per thousand on the
various classes. This, no doubt, will
have a pleasing effect on the pocket
book of the smokers in Arizona.
"The repeal of the publicity clause
in the former act" said the collector,
sis a welcomed feature to most tax
payers. AS individuals, we all con-
slider our financial condition a more
or less personal affair and resent
the publicity of our incomes or any
thing that has a tendency to make
public what we consider our own
business. None but the idle curious
and those who have never paid an
income tax in their lives will be dis
appointed"
Since the filing period has now be-
gun in full force, the collector is de-
sirous of having the taxpayers avail
themselves of any assistance required
from his office and field deputies.
Taxpayers should bear in mind that
the last day for filing returns is
March Is, unless an extension has
been granted, and returns filed after
that time are subject to a penalty
of 20 per cent of the tax due.

How to stop
Boil s.!

There's only one way to stop boils.
Stop the cause of boils! That's COM
mon sense-isn't it? All right. Boils
thrive because the blood gets so weak
in healthy, red cells that it can't
throw off the impurities that get into
the body. There's not enough rich, red
blood to purify the system.
Now-S. S. S. builds back the blood
to fighting strength. S. s. S. builds
d-blood-cells - builds them by the
millions! Boils dry up!
S. S. s. is the thing. Impurities that
cause boils and other skin eruptions
can't stand up against the rich,
healthy, red blood that S. 8. s. builds.
That's all there is to it.
Stop boils with S. S. s. It's the way.
Get it at any druggist. The larger
bottle is more economical.

TAX CUT SAVES
ARIZONANS HALF
MILLION CASH

Taxpayers of Arizona are saved
nearly half million dollars in fed
eral taxes as the result OF the sign
ing of the new revenue bill by Pres
ident Coolidge today. f'H
A survey of decreases made today
by John r. Towles, collector of in
ternal revenue for Arizona, indicates
that income taxes in Arizona will be
reduced $256,OO0 with proportional de-
creases i'm other federal taxes.
Increased exemptions and the repeal
of many miscellaneous taxes provided
for in the new act are responsible
for tax reductions.
Authority was received by Collector
Towles today to release all tax forms.
Taxpayers can now compute their tax
and file their returns.
A schedule of reductions announced
