J. F. HENDERSON "For five terrible years I endured die pain of indigestion and the punishment of nervousness, and not a medicine helped me until I tried Kontols." So says Mr. John F. Henderson, Box 64, R.F.D. No. 2, Indianapolis- "I couldn't eat a meal without suffering. Even milk hurt me. I had trembling .spells and splitting headaches, and did not sleep at all well. When Konjola was recommended 1 thought that this was just another medicine, but I soon found where I "as wrong. Right from the very beginning ofsthe treatment, I began to improve, and in five weeks my suffer- I ing was at an end. I can eat anything I like; my nerves are calm and I sleep like a child. No wonder I am tnthusiastic about Konjola, the medi‘ine that did all this for me in so Hiort a time. No wonder Konjola 11,18 won a million friends. It should i’ttvft a billion." Konjola is sold at Decatur in the II J. Smith drug store, and by all the i’ust druggists in all towns through01|t this entire section. Colds are serious. Even mild »«es are dangerous. Remember KONJOLA cold compound (tablets) is giving amazing relief 10 thousands of cold sufferers every year These tablets are of he same high quality as Konjola. N— J 3

will exceed that of 1928. The Income I tax returned by individuals for the calendar year 192“ was $830,000,000,, and for the calendar year 1928 approximately $1,150,000,000. While wages, salaries, dividends, 'tc., showed a substantial increase, 'ho outstanding item In the increased Income returned whs a gain of approximately $2,000,000,000 in profits trotn the sale of capital assets. It is tlie unusual increase in this one Item md the impossibility of determining under existing c'rcnmstances what in-! come will be returned from this source I for the calendar years 1929 and 1930 that makes estimating at this time so uncertain a proposition." Mellon explained the treasury Is not only faced with the difficult problem of determining the business trend during the current calendar year, "but we are confronted with the d fflcult problem of determining what effect the' precipitous decline of security values recently witnessed will have on the profits from security transactions, which unquestionably yielded a very large income in 1928 and for the first eight months of calendar year 1929." Proposed Cut Outlined Tlie report then outlined the proposed $160,000,000 tax cut on 1929 income reducing tlie normal tax a flat ' pne per cent for both individuals and cot pot ations. A year hence, Mellon proposed. Congress may continue that reduction in effect, reduce the normal tax rate still further, or by failure to take any action permit the rales now existing to he automatically restored. Concluding his discussioh of tax reduction, Mellon made a plea for future reductions in the corporation tax rate by which means, he said, the greatest numbers will be benefited. Individuals paying income tax are strictly limited and make returns at a low rate, Mellon said, but the millions owning stock in corporations were taxed at the rate of 12 per cent on the profits of the business enterprises in wftich they were shareholders. In 1927 corporations paid 46 cents in taxes for every dollar paid in dividends.
