Losses incurred in the operation of farm* as business enterprises are de ductible from gross income. If live stock has been purchased for any purpose, and afterwards dies from disease, exposure or Injury, or is kill ed by order of the authorities of a State or the United States, the actu al purchase price of such livestock, less any depreciation allowable as a deduction in respect of such perished livestock, may be deducted as a loss if the loss is not compensated for by insurance of otherwise. If gross income is ascertained t>y the use of inventories, no deduction can be taken separately for livestock | or products lost during the year. | Here are some of the items that ! are deductible in figuring out your | net income. Typical business expenses of a I mercantile establishment are amounts paid for advertising, hire of clerks and other employees, rent, light, heat, water, stationery, stamps, telephone, property insurance and delivery expenses All these may be deducted. A professional man may deduct all necessary expenses incurred in -the pursuit of his profession. A loss arising from "fires, storms, shipwrecks .or other casualty" need not be connected with the taxpayer's trade or business. If his homo or his | automobile is destroyed by fire he may claim a deduction for the loss sustained unless compensated for by insurance or otherwise. Loss of prop , erty by theft is an allowable deduc ! tion. In general, taxes are deductible only by the person upon whom they are imposed.

Housewives Told There is no need for housewives to buy up extra sugar for home can ning now. says Dean I. O. Schaub director of the State Jollege Exten sion Service The War Production Board says, "every effort" is being made to have sugar available this summer for home canning. Dean Schaub says that scores of housewives are buying more sugar than they need for normal family consumption, with the explanation that they "want to be sure to have a supply on hand to do home canning " "Such buying is not only unneces sary. but also unwise." the Extension leader declared, "because it aggra vates a situation that is already dif ficult. The supply of sugar for home canning may be somewhat limited this year, just as the supply for daily consumption Is already limited, but the War Production Board has prom ised that it will be sufficient to en able housewives to can what they need." The State College official says thre are several substitutes that can be conserved in the home. "Cut down on sugar In the least noticeable ways at first." he suggested. "Experiment to see if the amount you have been putting on your breakfast cereal, or in your coffee o rtea .is a matter of habit. Stir the sugar in beverages thoroughly You will need less sure) on cereal that is topped with dried | fruit." Miss Mary E. Thomas. Extension 1 nutritionist at State College, says I sugar can be saved by {>utting it in at the end of the cooking time when preparing sauces, such as apple sauces. "It will take less sugar to get the same sweetness if you don't cook the sugar so long." she stated. Finally, the nutritionist said "Most c 1 us can get along on a lot less sugar than we have been eating ? and still have nutritious meals that taste good."
