Their salaries or wapes as such oh'ieers or employes is exempt from the federal income. The exemption also applies to the fees re.-eived by notaries' public commissioned by states, .also the commissions of receivers appointed by state courts. As to f e.s for services to clients, patients, tc., these should be included in the Kross income for the taxable year in which received, unless they are included when they accrue to him in accordance within an approved method of accounting followed by him. A professional man may make his return on the basis of cash intake and actual expenditures for the year, it should he noted that a taxpayer is deemed to have; received income which has been credited to or set apart for him without restriction. A more exact and equitable method of tiffurinK net income in on the "accrual basis." This means a computation on the basis of income earned and expenses incurred, whether paid, or not, that actually pertain on the taxable year, excluding income earned and expenses incurred in previous or succeeding years. A professional man who keeps books of account should make returns by this method. If his accounting method is one morally employed and shows a correct net income. A professional man may claim as deductions the costs of supplies used by him in the practice of his profession, expenses paid in the operation and repair of an automobile used in making professional calls, dues to nrofessional societies and subscrip tions to professional journals, rt nt paid for office rooms, the the exp. rise of the fuel, liht. water, telephone, etc., used in such of Hees, and tho hire of otlice assistants. Amounts expended for books, furniture and professional instruments and equipment of a permanent character are not allowable as deductions. In the deductions from pros.s income the law specifically bars personal livinic or family expenses. In the case of a professional man who has a regular place of business and who rents a residence, but incibntly receives there clients, patients or callers in connection with his professional work, no part of the rent at his home is deductible. If, however, he uses part of the house for his office, such part of the rent as is properly attributable to such ( thee is deductible. Had Debt-.

A reasonable allowance for the wear and tear and obsolescence of instruments and equipment, etc.. is allowed. The proper allowance is that amount which should be set aside for the taxable year in accordance with a consistent plan by which the total of such amounts for the useful life of the property will suffice, with the salvaire of scrap value, at the end of sueh useful life, to provide in place of the property its cost or its value as of March 1. mn. if acquired by the taxpayer before thxit date. When through some new invention, or radical chance in methods, or similar circumstance the usefulness in his profession or some or all of his instruments or other equipment Js .suddenly terminated, so that lie discards such assets permanently from use. he may claim as a loss in that year the difference between the cost (reduced by reasonable adjustment for wear and tear, which it has undergone) and its junk or salvage value. If the apparatus was owned prior to March 1. 151 its fair market value on that date shoyld be considered, in stead of its cost, in fiprurinp: obsolescence. This deduction is allowed by law. but the taxpayer must be able to substantiate any claim made on this basis. PROPOSES AMENDMENT TO NATURALIZATION LAW An amendment to the naturalization law to prant citizenship to any alien who has resided in United States for live years and has announced his intention of becomim? a citizen prior to Feb. 3, 1917. hasbeen recently introduced into conpress by Itep.

POLICE INVESTIGATE LOSS OF LIQUOR
When Abraham Ciralsky. 92' W. Washington av.. took his family for a winter's sojourn in the balmy climes of California little did he think that a terrible- calamity would overtake him during his absence from the city. Sine the family left for the west the house- has been unoccupieel but the strong box in the cellar was carefully locked and the private stock was thought to have been secure against pillage by thie e s. However, when Mr. Ciral!cv's son, w h remained behind entered the resieltneo Wednesday merning hediscovered that the house had been entere-d since his last visit, which was Sunday and the home was completely ransacked from cellar to garret. In reporting the robbery to the police. Ciralsky, Jr.. said that he wa-s unable to determine Just what articles were taken except that a quantity eif liquor stored in the basement was missing. Police are investigating the robhcry and are laboring under the theory that the Ciralsky robbery is an added mark against tht recorel of a systematized gang" of housebreakers, who are operating in the city. KIWANIS CLUB FAVORS ENLARGING HOSPITALS The question of present hospital eontlitlons and the building of a county hospital by the tax payers of the county was tabled at the meeting of the Kiwanls club Thursday noon at the Oliver hotel after a committee had reported in favor of the county hospital plan. The opinion of the club was evenly divided between the enlargement of present hospital facilities and the building of a new county institution. Some favored both plans and the necessity of more bed space in the immediate future was urged as against the building of .a new hospital. The committee composed of Mayor Carson, ltev. A. M. Eells and Nelson Jones reported as in favor of the county building. Mr. Jones st.ated he still maintained his stand of a week ago that the greater neel was in the enlargement of present hosr itals. At least a year and a half before dirt would be turned and four years before completion of the county hospital plan was the estimate of S. 1. Schwartz who urged immetliate steps be taken. The lowest estimate for a new institution is about $400,000 with $7.", 000 annually for upkeep. The- question was tabled until such time as the program committee sees fit to bring it before the club because of the lack of time.
