"Wlint Are You Going to Do When the Income Tax Man Comes Around" Is the Latest Song Hit of The Sea-son. News Advs Bring Results "What Are You Going to Do When the Income Tax Man Conies Around?" is the latest "effusion"- set to music by the revenue collector of the state of Oregon, with words by Uncle Sam more forcible than eloquent Some people throughout the state some people right in our own midst are going to sit up and take notice. Their incomes are going to be "assembled" that they will be in a position to add their mite to the government's war fund. No, it will not be necessary for you to hunt up the revenue collector he's not going to take any chances but on the contrary, is going to give you the "once over" right on the ground. He, or his clever represen tatives, will make Roseburg a per sonal visit, remaining . probably a week or ten days, during which time he will be the guest of those whose incomes exceed the limit provided by law: You won't havc;to figure out your own income tax all by yourself here after. The government is going to send out men to help you. It will be up to you to hunt up these men, who will be sent into every county seat town, and some other towns be sides, to meet the people. Postmas ters, bankers and newspapers will be aule to tell you when the government Income tax man will be around, and where to find1 him. He will answer your questions, swear you to the re turn, take your money, and remove the wrinkles from your brow. Re made between January 1 and March turns of income for 1917 must be 1, 1918. The government recognizes that many persons experience a good deal or difficulty in filling out income tax forms. It recognizes, too, that tax payers resident at points where col lector's offices are not easily acccs sibel, find it hard to get proper in struction in the law. Next year, when every married person living with wife or husband and having a net income of $2000, and every un married person not the head of a family and having a not income of $1000 for the year 191.7, must make return of income on the form pre scribed, there will be hundreds In every community seeking light on the law and help in executing their re turns. Every collection district in the nation will be divided into districts, with the county as the 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, veryMikely in the court house at the county seat town. In cities where there are col lectors branch offices, he will be there, and in other cities possibly at the city hall. The collector of reve nues will in due time advise post masters and bankers and send out notices to the newspapers) stating when the officer, will be in each coun ty. It will be unnecessary for pros pective taxpayers to ask for forms on which to make returns. The of ficer who visits their county will have them. It may be stated as a matter of general information that "net in come" is the remainder after sub tracting expenses from gross income. Personal, family, or living expense is not expense in the meaning of the law, the exemption being allowed to cover such expenses. The new exemptions of 1000 and $2000 will add tens of thousands to the number of income tax payers 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 people assume that if an in come tax form is not sent, or a gov ernment 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. MASQUERADE BALL.

' Just as coal, when It burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom bustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible ma terial, which if not completly elimina ted from the .system each day, be comes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptomaln-Mke poisons are formed and sucked into the blood. Hen and women who can't get feel ing right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of rear hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day's . accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimen tary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing internal sanitation. . This will cost ' very little, but is sufficient to make ! anyone an enthusiast on the subject. j Remember inside bathing Is more i Important than outside bathing, be-; cause the 'skin pores do not absorb Impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water ' and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.'
