In the present schedule. No new

pected that the introduction of some

near future. i..E.. t.e ..
On Thursday evening the mem
bers of the WPA staff visited the

Facilities OF State
Among Nations Best
Health Directors Organize in Great Anti-SOcial Dis.
: ease Campaign 900 Cases Reported Annually

Bureau Of Venereal diseases Of the
State Department Of Health, stated
in a signed article appearing In the
departments current monthly bull
letin.
2 The medical profession, DR.. Talbot
said, has knowledge OF the cause Of
the disease, Spirochaeta pollida, and
some Of its characteristics: 1t has
specified drugs, arphenanlines, for
rendering syphilis 1on-infectious: 1t
knows that the method Of trans
mission is limited to direct contact
both genital and extra-genital. With
this knowledge In hand, the problem
of stamping out the disease resolves
itself into ~ early diagnosis, (2)
an adequate reporting system, and
go adequate treatment facilities for
all strata Of society. Much progress
has been achieved In all three
phases.
Name Associates
Heretofore, DR.. Talbot said, 1t was
a common belief that infected In
dividuals would not reveal the names
of their associates, but 1t has been
demonstrated beyond the shadow
of doubt that 1t Is possible to secure
this information. The health officer
has the right to have suspected
individuals examined, but this law Is
seldom invoked, because If the pros
pective patient is handled skillfully
and his obligations to society are eX-
planned he will submit to the re-
quired examination and will also
reveal the names and addresses Of
his contacts, provided he Is con-
WINGED that the source of this infor-
nation will not de divulged. Cases in
this way may be discovered and
brought under treatment early.
When the patient cousults a
physician. his case is reported by
number and not by name, SO that
secrecy is insured, and a follow-ur
reporting system has been devised
by which authorities keep close
track of the patient without reveal
ing his identity to others. If the
patient lapses in treatment while the
disease is in an infectious stage it is
reportable to the health officer by
name and address so that efforts car
be made to have the treatments
continued.
- Adequate Facilities
Connecticut has adequate treat
ment facilities for those who cannot
afford to pay private physicians. The
State has 20 clinics where syphilis
is treated free or at small cost, and
in addition, the rural areas are scat.
tered with treatment stations where
INDECENT syphilitic patients may be
treated. The state supplies arsphen-
amines. But there Is need for treat
ment facilities for that very large
group who could pay something but
are unable to meet the usual cost OF
treatment, DR.. Talbot stated. People
in this group are, as a rule, hard.
working individuals, more or less
stable, have to this point met Their
financial obligations and sincerely
want to continue in this manner, but
find themselves faced with an insur-
mountable financial burden. 1t will
be necessary, If syphilis is to b.
stamped out, to expand present re-
sourses to include this group, thu
doctor declared.

Your Income Tax
YOUR INCOME TAX
DEDUCTION FOR TAXES

Taxes on real estate and personal
property paid during the year 1886
are deductible. So-called taxes,
which are assessed against local
benefits, such as streets, sidewalks,
drainage and other like improve
ments, are not deductible, for they
tend to increase the value Of the
property and thus constitute cost OF
a permanent improvement. The
Federal income tax may not be de-
Quoted. The tax on unjust enrich
ment-a Federal tax on income-is
not deductible. Income tax. how
ever, paid to the state by an indi-
vidual on his income is an allow
able deduction on his federal in
come-tax return.
Customs duties paid by a person
on articles imported for his own use
are deductible. Federal taxes on adj
missions in excess Of 40c are de-
ductible, but the taxpayer must
show that account has been kept
of the amount paid. Taxes on club
dues are deductible by the member
paying them. An individual may
deduct the tax on his telephone
conversations, radio messages, tele-
grams, and cables, and on the rent
of his safe deposit box.
License fees exacted by state or
city upon certain businesses are de-
ductible as taxes. Automobile license
fees are ordinarily taxes and de-
ductible. Postage is not a tax and
is not deductible. In general, taxes
are deductible only by the person
upon whom they are imposed.
Federal estate and gift taxes and
state inheritance, estate, legacy, or
succession taxes are not deductible
on federal income-tax returns. The
federal taxes on automobiles, gaso-
line and liquor are imposed on the
manufacturer, producer, or importer
and are not deductible by the pur-
chaser or consumer. Whether or not
the gasoline tax or the sales tax
levied by a state may be deducted
by the individual purchaser depends
upon the terms of the state law I'M
posing the tax, consequently the
right to the deduction, as between
purchaser and seller, varies in diff
ferent states.
Under the Revenue Act Of 1896
the amount of excess-profits tax
paid or accrued under the Revenue
Act of 1885 Gas amended) is deduct
ible in computing net income Of a
corporation for the purpose of both
the normal tax and the surtax on
undistributed profits.
