"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.

A FRIEND IN NEED
A friend In need is a friend in-
Ie3d, and how you can tell is to
accommodate him in time of his
need, and then a little later ask him
for it back in return. And that Is
what I have done is to give credit
to manf a man and now I arn- going
to ask them in return to come and
pay their bills in full not later than
December 25 this month, as that is
the time that I need the "mon to
pay my honest bills, and all of my
friends that will come to ,this call
will be marked "true blue," and all
that fail to answer this call will be
classed as bums for their friendship
is one-sided, and he is liable to take
the bankrupt law that his wife may
wear $1.75 stockings, and that is
something rotten. Now, kind friends,
this call is to you all that owe this

have It not later than the 25th of

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Say "aTglast of hot wafer' an3
phosphate prevents lllnesa
and keeps us fit. '
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.' ' " " T

Something Worth While
If you want to make a carpen

boy's of girl's future.
By all means get the latest and
best; the most modern machine,
