Germany in fulfillment of the Mos
COW conference pledge to speed the
prosecution of the war.
The two formations crossed Dover
Straits this morning in a sunny,
cloudless SKY and disappeared over
the northwest coast of France. The
planes flew SO high that onl; their
vapor trails were visible, but the
thunder of their engines indicated
they were heavy bombers.
SET PACE
American and British heavy
bomberS from Britain set the pace
last month by dropping nearly 49,
900 tons of explosives on Axis Eur
ope despite the worst fogs in more
than year, and were waiting only
for favorable weather to loose their
heaviest bombardment of the war
on Germany.
The Royal air force bomber COM
mand alone dropped 10000 tons of
bombs on Germany in only nine
major attacks. while 9Th air force
Flying Fortresses and Liberators
unloaded 1858 tons on Germany
and occupied countries.
Together, the RAF and USAAF
in Britain Shot down at least 910
German planes, probably destroyed
1870 more and damaged 347. Allied
losses totalled 403 planes, compris-
ing 176 American and 227 RAF.

Starvation Used
As Jap Weapon


nese at Manila in December, 194l.
This scientific pillaging is the
principal phenomenon of the con-
quered areas. The masses are being
reduced to starvation, not by a
single, clean-cut stroke, but by
cruel, painful progression. A little
is taken-and then little more.
First go the food reserves, then
the manufactured goods, then the
machinery. Some goes to the mill
tar on the scene but most OF 1t
flows in an unending stream back
to the home island
The relentless efficiency of this
program had already left many
people totally bereft by the time l
left. In Shanghai the cutting Of
the city has continued without in
terruption for almost two years. At
the outbreak of war, the factories
and warehouses along the river were
jampacked with finished goods and
machinery.
AS these flowed to japan, the
cost of living skyrocketed, first to
500 and then to 5000 per cent OF
the December, l94l, figures.
Here is an illustration of what the
Japanese looting did to the cost
of living in Shanghai.

Do you have poor digestion?
Do you feel headachy after eating?
Do you get sour or upset easily!
Do you feel tired-IistIess?

Now everyone knows that to get the good

it properly. But what most people don't
know is that Nature must produce about
two pints Of the digestive juice-liver
bile-each day to help digest your food.
II Nature fails-your food may remain

Thus, it is simple to see that one way
to aid digestion is to increase the flow of
liver bile. Now, Carter's Little Liver
Pills start to increase this flow quickly
for thousands-often in as little as thirty
minutes. When bile flow increases, your
digestion may improve. And, soon you're

WHAT is INCOME TAX?

The federal income tax is, as the
name implies tax levied upon in
comes, and it is payable in relation
to the amount of income. Income,
for federal income tax purposes,
means in general any compensation
for ones services, whether the COM
pensation be in money or in goods
or other services; it includes also
the net value received for the prod
uct of ones labor, as farm produce
in the case of farmer; income
from investments; profit from busi-
ness operations; and other gains
from sales and exchanges Of goods
and property. Certain limited cate
gories of income are, however, tax
exempt, and to the extent of such
exemptions are excluded in cOmput-
ing the tax.
Because of exemptions from the
tax given to persons having less
than certain stated amounts OF in
come, as well as because of various
deductions and credits allowable,
only a small proportion of the num-
Der of persons receiving income
have until recently been subject to
the tax. .
An income tax return is declar-
alton on the part of the taxpayer Of
his total taxable income for the
year, Together with the various de-
ductions, exemptions, and credits to
which he is entitled. 1t is in re-
lance upon voluntary disclosure,
and the integrity of taxpayers gener-
ally, that the cost of administration
of the income tax can be kept at a
minimum Though the return is a
voluntary statement, any person
who wilfully makes return which
he does not believe to be true and
correct in every material matter is
subject to the penalties provided by
law.
The first requirement of the law
is the filing of an appropriate re-
turn. For individuals generally,
this must be done by March Is fol-
lowing the end of the calendar year.
The return must be filed with the
appropriate Collector of Internal
Revenue for the district in which is
located the legal residence or prin-
cipal place Of business of the person
making the return.
Under the present law every sim
gle person, and every married per-
son not living with husband or
wife, having total income (earn-
ings, together with other incOme) OF
&5NO or more and married persons
