YOUR INCOME TAX
(Continued from last week)
Losses if incurred in a taxpayer’s
trade or business or profession or in
any transaction entered into for
profit” not compensated for by in
surance or otherwise are deductible
from gross income in determining net
income upon which the income tax
is assessed. To be allowed, losses not
incurred in trade, business, or pro
fession must conform closely to the
wording of the statute. For example,
a loss incurred in the sale of a tax
payer’s home or automobile, which at
the time of purchase was not bought
with the intention of resale, is not
deductible, because it was not a
transaction “entered into for profit.”
Losses sustained in the operation of
a farm as a business venture are de
ductible. If sustained in the opera
tion of a farm operated merely for
the pleasure of the taxpayer, they are
not deductible.
Losses arising from fires, storms,
shipwreck, “or other casualty,” or
from thefc, whether or not
with a taxpayers business, may he
deducted from gross income in his
1924 income tax return. If his home
or automobile is destroyed by fire or
his property damaged by storm, the
loss is deductible for the year in
which it was incurred.
Loss of property by theft or burg¬
lary is an allowable deduction, and
need not be incurred in the taxpay¬
er’s trade or business.
A loss from embezzlement is also
deductible.
All losses are deductible only to
the extent by which they are not
compensated for by insurnace or oth
erwise.
A debt discovered to be worthless
and charged off the books of the tax
payer for the year 1&24 may be de
ducted from the gross income in com
puting net income for that year. The
return must show , evidence . ) - e U
manner in which the worthlessness
of the debt was discovered and that
and legal
lection have been or would be una
vailing. u
Bad debts may be deducted in part
or in whole. When deducted, the
payer must be able to show with
reasonable degree of certainty the |
amount uncollectible. Partial deduc
tions are allowed with respect
specific debts only.
less A valid debt always proved be to be worth-j de-,
may not a proper
dution. For example, unpaid a
mounts representing wages, rentals,
or similar items are not allowed as
deductions unless included as gross
income in the creditor’s return for
the year in which the deduction is
sought or in a previous year. The fact
that expected income was not re
ceived does not reduce the amount
of taxable income of the creditor.
Unpaid loans made to needy rela
tj ves or Mends with little or no ex
peetation that they would be repaid
are not deductible, but are regarded
as gifts,

ANSWER!
1 he value of Kiwanis to the community and
ourselves depends upon our individual and co-op¬
erative interest in a constructive program. Each
member has received the following questionnaire.
ANSWER it before this week’s meeting—Friday at
noon.
Dear Kiwanian:
What would you like to see the Kiwanis Club
accomplish during the next twelve months?
Please consider your suggested activities as
being in two classes:
A—Those which may be accomplished iranie
diately;
B—Those which will be dependent upon the
development of general community interest and
its assistance.
The financial phase of any suggested activity,
should be considered. You should bear in mind
that the Kiwanis Club should not be the communi¬
ty purse, but rather should stimulate general in¬
terest and support.
The suggestions received from the membership
of the Club will guide the Program Committee in
making up its suggestions to the weekly Program
Committees.
Cordially yours,
E. G. CLARK,
Secretary.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens
So Naturally Nobody

The old-time mixture or - c Sage -tv...

and Sulphur for darkening
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth
er’s recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we arc liv¬
ing in an age when a youthful appear¬
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, wc don’t have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. AH
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
\ uct, improved by the 1 addition of other
ingredients, called “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Compound.” It is very popu¬
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray the
hair disappears, but what delights
ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appfica
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which is
so attractive.
