Newspaper accounts of the proposed changes have caused this misunderstanding. The government answer in such eases is tax on incomes for the year 1922 is being j ( ollectt (1 under the revenue act of 1921 | which is still in effect, and which provides a normal tax rate of 4 per cent on the first $4,000, of net income in excess of the exemptions and credits and 8 per cent on the remaining net Income. In the making of an income tax return for the year 1922. taxpayers of J every class, business and professional men, salaried persons, wage earners and farmers should present to themselves for consideration the following questions: Did you receive any interest on bank deposits?

Are you interested in any partner ship or other firm from whieh you receive income? Have you any income front royalties or patents? Have you any minor children who are working? | Have you the control of the earn-! Ings of such children? If so. the amount must be included in the parent's income. Has your wife any income any' source what ever? if so, it must be included in your return, or reported in a separate return of Income. | Did you receive any director’s fees or trusee's fees in he course of the year? Did you hold any office in a b.me-, fit society font which you received Income? Answer to the questions are necessary in the filing of a correct in come tax return. If single (or married and not living) and the net income was SIOOO.OO or more or the gross Income $.'».009 or more, or married anil living with wife and the cmiple’i net income was $2,000 or more or the gross income was $'..000 or more, a return is required, The fact that the income may not he taxed hy reason of the personal exemption.

TAKE SALTS IF RHEUMATISM IS BOTHERING YOU — Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Take Salts to Get Rid of Toxic Acid Rheumatism is no respoetor of age, sex. color or rank. If not the most dangerous of human afflictions it is one of the most painful. Those subject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure ami above all. drink lots of pure water. Rheumatism is caused hy uric acid or body waste matter, and is oftrn generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to Alter this poison from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this Impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish anil fail to eliminate this toxic acid, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the flrst twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jail Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of wa’ter and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity, remove waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these" rheumatic poisons.
