Ind., Dec. 12 —You ■ won't have to'figure out your own in ’ come tax all by yourself hereafter The government is going to send out J men to help you. it will be up to yov ■ to hunt up these men. who will be * sent into every county seat town ‘ and some other towns besides, t< ( meet the people.

He will answei , I your questions, swear you to the re , turn, take your money, and remove k . the wrinkles from your brow. Returns of income tax for 1917 must be made between January 1 and March ’ 1, 1918. !, “The government recognizes,” Col lector of Internal Revenue Kruyer said today, “that many persons experience a good deal of difficulty ir filling out income tax forms. It rec ognizes. too. that taxpayers resident at points where collector's offices art I not easily accessible find it hard t< get proper instruction in the law ’ Next year, when every married per son living with wife or husband and having a net income of $2,000, an< every unmarried person not the heat of a family and having a net income , of SI,OOO for the year 1917 must i make return of income on the torn . prescribed, there will be hundreds . in every community seeking light on the law, and help in executing theit returns. My own and every othei collection district in the nation will be divided into districts, with the county as a unit, and a government officer informed in the income tax assigned to each district. ‘“He will spend hardly less than a week in each county, and in some counties a longer time, very likely in the courthouse at the county seat town. In cities where there are collector's branch offices, he will be there, and in other cities possibly at the city hall. My office will in due time advise postmasters and bankers and send out notices to the newspapers stating when the officer will be in each county. It will be unnecesary for prospective taxpayers to ask my office for forms on which to make returns. The officer who visits their county will have them. “It may be stated as a matter of general information that ‘net income’ ‘ is the remainder after substracting ’ expenses from gross income. Per ‘ sonal. family, or living expense is not * expense in the meaning of the law. i* the exemption being allowed to cover ’ such expenses. * “The new exemptions of SI,OOO and $2,000 will add tens of thousands to ► the number of income taxpayers in ► this district, inasmuch as practically ‘ every farmer, merchant, tradesman, | professional man and salary worker and a great many wage workers will be required to make return and pay tax. "The law makes it the duty of the ' taxpayer to seek out the collector. Many peoply assume that if an income tax form is not sent, or a government officer does not call, they are relieved from making report. This is decidedly in error. It is the other ' way round. The taxpayer has to go to the government and if he doesn't within the time prescribed, he is a violator of the law, and the government will go to him with its penalties.” WOMEN GIVE OUT ~ Housework is hard enough when healthy. Every Decatur woman who is having backache, blue and nervous spells, dizzy headaches and kidney or : bladder troubles, should be glad to heed this Decatur woman's experience: i Mrs. W. F. Rice, 704 North Second street, says: “My back was weak and . sharp gains often went through it. I had a feeling of stiffness through my joints and I often had to wear large shoes, my ankles swelled so badly. At times I was nearly frantic with headaches and pains through iny I head. It had dizzy spells, too and became nervous and run down. 1 gat Doan's Kidney Pills from Smith.
