New Employees withholding Ex- en1ption Certificates N'orTn W-4- Rev.), which must be filed by all employees with their employers on or before December 1st, have been made available to employers for dis- tribution, Frank W. Kraemer, Cole lectof of Internal Revenue, aT- nounced Tuesday.
 The filing Of a new exemption certificate was made necessary by the Individual Income Tax Act of 1924, which was passed by Congress last spring and which made some changes in the withholding exemp- tionS.
 MT. Kraerner explained that the Employees withholding Exemp- tion Certificate tells the employer how many withholding exemptions each enploye is claiming for himself and family. This information is used in computing the amount of income tax to be withheld from each employees wage. Failure of an em- ploye to give his employer cer- tificate would necessitate the with holding of tax from the employees wage without regard to an exemp- tion.
 It is important, MT. Kramer points out that two persons do not claim the same exemptions. In the past our office has noted that many a husband and wife were claiming double exemptions. Besides the fact that this is in violation of the law, it works direct hardship on such taxpayers at the end of the year when, upon computing their tax and taking credit for their withhold ing, they then discover that they owe an additional tax, which would have been withheld from them each payday had they correctly listed their exemptions. Tn the case of a husband and wife, both working, either may claim both exemptions or they may be claimed separately. However, one must not claim an ex- emption that is claimed by the other. This same rule applies to de- pendents. only one person may take credit for dependent, and he or

Warming To HOIme-CannerS

In the case of tomatoes and most

But in the case of ALL VEGE-

The Airport Committee

A great, man made island airport,
which might we'll serve as a world
air terminal for both land and sea
planes, is something which taxes the
imagination.

L average vision to grasp the details
of the venture without either being
carried away with its possibilities,
or discouraged with its immensely.

men of such capacity among its

favorably on the island airport pro
posal, it will be done, and done

possible

A CONSTRUCTIVE series of
n newspaper and magazine adver
tisements sponsored by Good House
keeping Magazine is sounding a
timely note of caution to American
housewives in connection with the
national campaign for production
and conservation of food.
An important and essential part
in this campaign is that played by
American women who preserve
foods, particularly home grown
fruits and vegetables, by the process
of home canning.
This is unquestionably one of the
greatest contributions the women OF
the nation have made to an adequate
wartime food supply, and thus to the
actual winning of the war.
But unfortunately, as Good
Housekeeping Magazine warns, it is
also the source of great danger.
Unless the process of home cam
ing conforms to scientific methods
we'll known to established and rell
able food industries, but not so well
known to housewives, the danger of
BOTULINUS POISONING becomes
very real.
MUCH sickness and many deaths
N1 have already resulted from
botulinus poisoning in various parts
of the country, directly traceable to
failure to use safe home canning
methods and especially to lack of
knowledge of such methods
With the double purpose of EN-
COURAGING home canning and of
widely disseminating full knowledge
of the proper and safe methods, Good
Housekeeping Magazine has under
taken an advertising campaign in the
entire daily press of the country.
"Botulinus poisoning" the publ
cation advises, comes from bacteria
that liue in the soil and cling to
vegetables -.
"Botulinus germs may be on the
food YOU can.
"They must be destroyed.
"WheneUer these bacteria are
present in the food and are not de-
stroyed during the canning process,
they gradually produce a toxin Which
IS poisonous.
