KIWANIANS 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, Where by reason of illness or ab sence from home additional time for | filing an Income tax return is re¬ quired, the taxpayer should address to the Commissioner of Internal Rev- j enue , Washington, D. C., a request f or an extension. Collectors of intern Rub Rheumatic Pam 1 Soreness, Stiffness Rub Pain right out with small trial bottle of old 1 1 St. Jacobs Oil.” I What’s Rheumatism? Pain only.

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. p.

Your name will not be used but we will thank you to sign your sugges¬ tions. revenue are not, as under preced acts, permitted to grant such ex tensions. The request must be made before the return is due- ■on or be March 15, 1925, if made on the calendar year basis—and must con tain a full recital for the causes of the delay, An extension of time for filing the return does not extend the time of payment of the tax or any install ment thereof unless so specified in the extension. As a condition of granting an extension, the commis sioner mav require the submission „f tentative return and estimate o f the amount of the tax, and the payment of at least one-fourth of the estimated amount. I Under the revenue act of 1924. thousands of persons are required to fj j e re1urns 0 f income although the incomes are not taxable.

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.
