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

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly =. often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 10t and 25f. c

Sycophantic Hollywood bows and
scrapes to the stars or any one in
the popularity limelight, but there s
one fellow around town whose ap-
pearance causes them to squirm and
grovel. His name is Willy de Mond.
He dishes out all the nylon stock
ings used by the studios and while
he operates on priority order only,
the rank and file think they can
talk him out of few pairs now and
then.
The other night De Mond was
entertaining Eastern guests, includ-
ing Estelle Bitterman, famous de-
signer, at night spot. Seven rounds
of gratuitous drinks accumulated,
untouched. at his table. The fem
inine soloist got down of the pod
ium and sang lullabies into his ear.
Three directors fought to pick up
his check.
Willy, who in normal times oper-
ates stocking messenger service
night and day for his movie Glen
tele, can't do a thing for the out
siders. All his output goes directly
to the studios. Nevertheless he's
had to have his residence phone

Seems to be feeling in the air at
10th Century-Fox that Alice Faye
may never return to the screen. Her
one-picture-a-year deal includes a
lot OF IFS and side-stepping clauses
that she could provoke to good ad-
vantage should she definitely decide
to retire.
Alice is happy at home with her
two youngsters and that seems to be
the answer. There probably never

Rails and Specia|ties
Improve in Quiet
Stock Dealings
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-Motor
stocks, spurred by the unexpected
boost in the General Motors divi-
dend, led the market on q modest
recovery move today without touch
Ing OF any strong general demand
While most groups participated to
a greater or lesser degree in the ad i
vance after a mixed start, bullish
enthusiasm was chilled a bit by the
sluggishness of dealings on the
comeback A special Offering OF
10000 shares OF Paramount Pictures
at 1873, which was completed in
fairly good time, helped put the FIVE
hour total at around 100000 shares
one OF the smallest for the year to
date.
Rails and specialties did relatively
well throughout and gains near the
close ranged from fractions to bette,
than point.
Some bidding was attributed to
the belief the recent sellofr, which
tilted the averages back to thei,
lows OF early January, was a tech
nically favorable signal. Worries
over the battle for Rome, the cloudy
Russian diplomatic picture and the
desire to await the Presidents ac-
ton on the completed tax bill served
as restraints.

Your U. 5. Income Tax
(Thfs Is No. 81 OF a Series. }


Worthless debts occurring In a
trade or business and arising from
unpaid wages, salaries, rents, and
similar items are not allowable de-
ductions In computing Federal nor
NAL tax and surtax unless the
amounts due have previously been
included in, income, either in the
year in which the deduction as a
bad debt is sought to be made or for
a previous year. Thus, uncollectible
bills rendered by professional men,
such as physicians, lawyers, dentists,
ETC., are not deductible as bad debts
unless the amount of such bills rem
dered has been included in the in
come reported by the taxpayer.
Where the taxpayer reports on the
cash receipts and disbursements
basis, 1t is obvious that the amount
OF the bad debt has not been re-
turned as income, and the loss would
not be deductible from other income.
The rule also applies to other debts
arising out of services, such as COM
missions due to statesmen, salaries
or wages due clerks, executives, and
others for services, and rentals due
landlords on rental property, as we'll
as to debts arising out of sales in
the case of business conducted
on the cash receipts and disburse-
ments basis.
A deduction for bad debt may
arise where businessman or pro-
fessional man, as indorser or guar
antor on an obligation, has been
obliged to pay the debt of the prin-
cipal as business transaction.
When the indorser or guarantor
pays a debt, he is subrogated to the
rights of the creditor against the
principal debtor; and If his claim
against the debtor is worthless and
uncollectible, he is entitled to a de-
duction, not because of Of the pay
ment itself, but because the payment
gives rise to claim which becomes
a bad debt.
II the indorser or guarantor re-
ports on the cash receipts and dis
bursements basis, and meets his OBJ
legation by giving his personal note
for the worthless note of the prirl-
cipal debtor, he may not claim the
deduction until the year In which
the note is paid. However, If he
reports on the accrual basis, the de-
duction would be allowed in the year
in which he gave his note in settle
ment OF the obligation.
If the worthless debt is a non
business debt, 1t is not deductible
as a bad debt" but the loss is re-
quired by law to be treated as
though sustained from the sale or
exchange of capital asset held for
not more than six months.
