 While several factors may pro- duce conditions in the body similar to those of pernicious anemia, 8 series of investigations. eliminating in the work of Drs. Minot and Whip pie which earned them the Nobel prize, has led to the solution of what used to be an ,,nsolved problem of medical science.
 There was a time when prac- tically everyone with pernicious anemia died of 1t. For some req son, the blood cells failed to form in suitable amounts: secondary symptoms set in, affecting the nervous system and the digestion. and the patients died.
 Nowadays, 1t Is believed that the condition Is caused by failure of the stomach to secrete an impor- tant factor, which results in stop- ping development of red blood cells.
 The person who has pernicious anemia usually has 1lne, often sil- very gray or mud-colored hair. slightly yellow skin and whites of the eyes, sore tongue, and sometimes tenderness over the gall-bladder. There may be slight swelling of the ankles and, later, development of nervous symptoms, showing that de- generations are occurring in the spinal column.
 Why the body fails to develop the necessary factor for stimulat- ing formation of red blood cells is not known. It has been suggested that an infection may be respon- sible or, possibly, that there Is an actual failure of the body, in its growth, to continue to develop cer- tain glandular products.
 AS Investigations of this disease continued, 1t occurred to the Bos- ton Investigators that there was something in the dietary that was Anportant in relation to formation & red blood cells. At first they 9sd raw liver, and then cooked liver, to victims of this disease, and the response of the blood-formtng of-

'Mom, aren't you going to come tonight2" asks Bob uneasily. You never see our team play anywhere. And where's Dad2 He always has to work the very nights I want him to do something"
 Mother tried to look surprised. why, yes, indeed, I'm coming. Do you think I went to the trouble of getting all that outfit for you, and then not go to, see how well 1t plays"
 "oh, darn the clothes, Nom. You know what I mean" But Bob looked pleased just the same. But Dad. Where Is he7"
 "He spoke to me about to- night" was the thoughtful and not quite truthful answer. T know he'll be sorry. He Is so proud of you. But I will have to do for both of us this time, dear"
 well, l want him to be sure about the 20th. That's the big play-off with Hutton. It's far more important than this. I'll speak to him about that" An Old Story Bob went off early leaving his mother to finish up the dishes be- fore she dragged her tired bones upstairs to get ready for the basketball game sine had entirely forgotten, and that she wished had never been invented In gen- eral. She did not care much for sports, and understood less. But every night that Bob had played, both John and she had managed to wiggle out of going. True, both of them were tired when night came, and John was on duty at his drug store every other evening. He wanted to re- lax on the nights he stayed at home.
 They had gone through it all before, when Myrtle went in for athletics. And they had travelled on buses here and three. follow ing the team to other high school towns, partly to chaperone their daughter and to show an inter- est in her hobby.
 Many a time in summer they had gone about to swimming contests, to see spindly legged youths and hearty girls get badges pinned on them. Once. the terribly hot day they had stayed at home. Myrtle had won the biggest race. She had never forgotten or quite forgiven that. Now Myrtle was of at college and was as crazy over science as she had been about sports. Happy Solution Well, 1t was almost impossible to warm over what had been at most, Q lukewarm enthusiasm. And, there were ten more years of 1t ahead as far as Bob was concerned. From now until he was through with college, he would be up to his ears in 1t. There wasn't a thing he skipped. And she and John would have to pretend to be all worked up about men on bases, or yard lines or goals.
 Could she face it? She brush- ed her hair and put on some powder. Then her hat and coat. Downstairs she went to the tele- phone.
 John? Say, John, can't you let Proctor take charge there? Bob has a game on. You ought to go and see him play. What? You hate 1t? I'm surprised. You're getting old. Now. you step right over here and go with me. You don't see what I like about it2 Why, wouldn't miss seeing Bob play for anything in the world. Coming? That's bet- ter. Hurry up."
 And Bob, spotting them in the crowd, never let on. But deep inside him there was a glow. Everything was right with his world.

the Senate investigation Of the arms
traf1ic with the direct effect OF that
probe being reflected in the consolida-
ton Of the mandatory neutrality bloc
composed Of Senator'S Nye, Clark and
Bone.
The real force Of this bloc was dis
played in the closing days of the 1885
| session Of Congress. Presenting two
| neutrality measures to the Senate In
July, the committee agreed to with
draw their proposals on assurance Of
the State Department that it would
cooperate in drafting general meas
ure. When adjournment seemed
imminent in August, however, without
any action scheduled, the Nye group
| threatened to tie things up. The
result was speedy recommendation and
passage Of neutrality resolution.
With part of the legislation effective
only to February, 1885, it was extended
last year to May, 1887, two major pro-
visions added and the degree of man
datory effect increased
Mandatory Provision Cited.
In brief, the law now contains the
following provisions:
That the President, whenever he
shall find that there exists a state of
war" between two or more foreign
countries, shall so proclaim that fact.
and that expectation OF implements of
war from this country to belligerent
state or to neutral port for trans
shipment to a belligerent state shall
become unlawful. This provision is
mandatory. Fines, imprisonment and
confiscation are the prescribed punish
ments.
That trading in securities or loaning
OF money or extension Of credit to
belligerents shall become unlawful.
That no citizen of the United
States shall travel on any vessel Of any
| belligerent nation except at his own
risk"
That manufacturers exporters and
importers Of implements OF war must
register with the Secretary Of State
and obtain licenses
That entry of belligerent subma-
rines into American ports may be
prohibited, as may the delivery OF men
or munitions from American ports TO
belligerent ships at sea-

are the reasons for pressure for en-

Your
Income Tax
Method of Ascertaining
Bad Debt Deduc-
tions Given.
NIL.

Bad debts constitute considerable
item in the returns of many taxpayers
and may be treated in one of two ways
either by deduction from gross in
come in respect to debts ascertained
to be worthless either in whole or in
part, or by deduction of a reasonable
addition to reserve for bad debts.
Taxpayers we're given an option for
1921 to select either Of the two
methods. The method used in the
return for 1921 must be used in re-
turns for subsequent years unless per-
mission Is granted by the commits
sioner of internal revenue to change
to the other method. Application to
change must be made at least 80 days
prior to the close Of the taxable year
for which the change is to be effective.
However, taxpayer filing a first re-
turn In 1885 may select either OF the
two methods subject to the approval
OF the commissioner upon examina-
ton Of the return. Permission to
adopt the reserve method is limited to
taxpayers having a large number OF
accounts where credit is extended
over considerable period of time. It
is not granted for the purpose Of
handling one specific debt.
What constitutes reasonable ad-
dition" to a reserve for bad debts
must be determined in the light Of
the facts, and will vary as between
classes Of business and with condi-
tlons Of business prosperity. 1t will
depend primarily upon the total
amount Of debts outstanding as OF
the close Of the taxable year, those
arising currently as we'll as those
arising in prior taxable years, and the
total amount of the existing reserve.
In case subsequent realizations upon
outstanding debts prove to be more or
less than estimated at the time of the
creation Of the existing reserve, the
amount of the excess or inadeouacy
in the existing reserve should be re-
fected in the determination of the
reasonable addition necessary in the
taxable year. A taxpayer using the
reserve method should show in his
return the volume of charge sales Cor
other business transactions) for the
year, and the percentage Of the re-
serve to such amount, the total
amount Of notes and accounts receiv-
able at the beginning and end Of the
taxable year. and the total amount Of
the debts ascertained to be worthless
and charged against the reserve dur
ing the taxable year.
