■ Kemp’s Balsam WillStop.thatCough guaranteed ++++++++++++++++ + INCOME-TAX FACTS YOU + + SHOULD KNOW + ♦■S-++++++ + + + + + + + + To the person whose income is derived from business, the problem of making out n correct income-tax return is greater than that presented to the salaried man. Business enterprises may bo divided into three classes—those engaged in making, those engaged in producing, and those engaged in trading. To these may be added another class— I those which do not produce, make, or trade, and which may be designated I as business services, such as transportation, storage, laundry, livery, and ■ garage service. In such cases the i gross income woud be the total . amount earned and received. To reflect net income correctly and to ascertain gross income, inventories ’ are necessary at the beginning and • end of each fiscal or calendar year, I according to the method of accounting, , in every business in which production, I purchase, or sale of merchandise is ’in . income-producing factor. Annual inventories Necessary The inventory should include raw material and supplies on hand that have been acquired for sale or used in production, together with ail finished or partly finished goods. It should include merchandise sold but not billed to the customer at the date of the inventory, and any goods out upon consignment. unless such goods have been included in the sales for the taxable year. It should also include merchandise purchased, although not actually received, to which title has passed to the purchaser. Inventories may be taken either on the basis of “cost” or "cost or market,’’ whichever is lower. Either method once adopted must be followed each year, unless permission to change is obtained from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. How to Compute Inventories In computing net income a merchant may find his profits on the following basis: First ascertain the gross sales and the other items of gross income, such as interest on bank deposits and miscellaneous items. Then add together the inventory at the beginning of the year and the cost of goods purchased for resale. From this sum subtract the inventory at the end of the year, and the result is the cost of goods sold. This cost, plus necessary business expenses, is to be deducted form the gross sales and other income and the result is the net income of the business. Typical deductible business expenses are for salaries, labor, cost of merchandise, raw materials and supplies, rent, repairs, light, power, delivery, selling cost, advertising, and insurance. No special system of accounts is prescribed by the Bureaul of Interna Revenue but the books should show in detail inventories, purchase, sales, capital investments, depreciation, and similar items required in making up the income tax return. Accounting System Urged “Aside from the necessity of keeping systematic accounts in order to comply with the Government’s requirements, every progressive merchant should adopt an approved accounting system for the good of his own business,” says Commissioner of Internal Revenue Daniel C. Roper. “In no other way can he further his financial | interests more effectively. It has been proven time and time again that acI curate accounts are absolutely essenI tial to success in business. The I merchant who has a good accounting I system is able to elimlnte waste and unnecessary expense, and can so control his credits as to greatly lessen his chances of failure. The inventory which can not be taken without some form of accounts, is the compass of a business. Without it the directions in which the business is heading either for success or failure can not he determined.” TOOK OUT DREADFUL SORENESS When the kidneys are weakened or overworked so that they fail to filter and throw all impurities out of the blood, the poison remains in the system and backache, soreness, lameness and rheumatic pains are likely to develop.

HOUSE SHORTAGE Over the State Has Almost Reached Serious Stage— Cities are Affected NEED MANY HOMESi Evansville Needs a Thou-; sand Houses—Goshen and Muncie in Need Indianapolis, Jan. 22. — ( Special to , Daily Democrat) —Commercial bodies , of Indiana cities are grappling today with a serious problem—the housing ■ situation. Reports to the United Press from - every section of the state today I showed acute shortage of homes in nearly every community . This has I resulted in rents being boosted to i the highest levels ever known. in some industrial centers manti- ( facturers have provided homes for a majority of their workers by building houses and either selling or renting them to employes. In others the I chambers of commerce or commercial . clubs have taken steps to solve the I problem. Real estate agents generally blame the shortage on the high i price of construction materials and the failure of builders to keep pace with the growth of cities. Following are some of the reports gathered from representative cities: 1 Goshen, a city of 10,000 needs 150 ' houses to meet present requirements. ' The chamber of commerce is assist- ’ ing in the organization of a building 1 corporation. Goshen, during the year, expects to add largely to its manufacturing intluktries but it ifrealized that growth will depend largely on its ability to supply housing 1 facilities. In Hartford City the housing problem has been a serious thing for several months and the chamber of commerce is trying to ease the situation. People who have rooms to rent have been asked to list them with the chamber. For the last year it has been necessary for manv people to buy property in order to find a 1 suitable living place. In several instances people have sold rental claims for from $lO to $25. A building and loan association with a capital of $1,000,000 has been organized and will begin construction in February. Houses in Elkhart are extremely scarce and there appears little prospect of an adequate building campaign. The chamber of commerce is expected to take the matter up. An increase in industries has not been accompanied by an increase in home construction and the high price of materials is given by one contractor as the principal reason for this. At Kendallville, the housing problem has reached the serious stage. Local factories are swamped with orders and are greatly handicapped for help, due to a large extent to the lack of sufficint homes for labor seeking work here. The gravity of the situation was evidenced recently by the fact that a newcomer offered a reward for anyone who could find a suitable six room home for him. Evansville is approximately 1,000 houses short. An effort is being made to form a $1,000,000 housing corporation. One manufacturer may build houses for his empolyes. House construction in 1919 was far below normal. Factory construction now under way means increases of approximately 5,000 employes. At Columbus the house shortage has become so acute that it threatens to retard the growth of the city. Plans for improvment of the housing situation are under way however, and the Columbus Housing association is being formed to inaugurate a program of building for the coming spring. Several factories are enlarging their plants and the demand for homes already has exceeded the supi ply. The housing corporation hopes A —BIG— Phi Delta Kappa INFORMAL DANCE Masonic Home, Wednesday, Jan. 28.

Thousands are making this beneficial remedy at home and one who has catarrh or a cold can do the same. Ask your druggist for three quarters of an ounce of Mentholized Arcine and pour it into a pint bottle, then fill the bottle with water that has been boiled. Gargle the throat as directed and snuff or spray the liquid into the nostrils twice daily. It’s a simple way to get rid of cold and catarrh and keeps the nasal passage and throat so clean and healthy that germs of flu or any other germs will have a hard time gaining a foothold- ® is the dentrifice that contains the properties recommended as ideal by United States Army dental surgeons WAS NERVOUS - AND RUN DOWN RESTORED TO NORMAL HEALTH BY 810-FEREN “I feel I owe you people a world of gratitude for the benefit I have received in using your wonderful remedy—Bio-feren Tablets, which have completely restored me to normal conditions,” says Joseph E, Webb of Muncie, Indiana. Bio-feren is without doubt the grandest and quickest remedy for nervous, run down, weak, tsaemic men and women ever offered direct through the druggists and is not at all expensive. Take two after each meal and one at bed time, and after seven days take one after each meal and one at bed time until the supply is exhausted.
