A graham cracker or slice of bread may be eaten with the milk but sweets should be avoided. Vitamines are constant constituents of living tissue, health is dependent on their action; they do not them selves contribute to.the energy supply of the body, but facilitate utilisation by it of proteins, fata, carbohydrates support life without the former, and salts of food. The latter cannot Without vitamines the <body sthrves. There are three vitamines, namely; fat solubles "A" found in such foods as milk, egg yolk, green leaf vege tables; fats surrounding the vital or gans of animals, to a less extent in meat and in certain fruits, and whole milk, cream and butter. The absence of this vitamine in the diet causes rickets. Water soluble "B" found in most foods except those which have 'been artifically purified, such as white flour, conrstarch, polished ricf, refined sugar, and most table oils. The ab sence of this vitamine causes poly neuritis and beri-beri (general paraly sis.) Vitamine "C" is found in fruits, vegetables and milk. Its efllcancy in milk is destroyed in cooking. This vitamine prevents scurvy. Vitamine "B" induces in the human body a desire for food. Vitamines are the spark which ig nites the fuel mixture of a petrol driven engine, liberating its energy. Vitamine "A" is associated with the metabolism of liquids and calcium (lime) as well as the chemical reac tions requisite for growth and main taintenance. Vitamine "B" (water soluble) hi associated with the metabolism of carbohydrates and with the chemical reactions and functional perfection of all cells, particularly nerve cells. Vitamine "C" (water soluble) is associated with the metabolism of calcium and with the chemical reac tions of growing tissues. Metabolism means the changes taking place in nutrients from the time they are absorbed into the circulation until they are eliminated as body waste. 1 LAXATIVE DIET LIST All foods rich in cellulose.

MISS MYRTLE SWINDELL INCOME TAX The following statement is issued by Collector of Internal Revenue Gil liam Grissom of the District of North Carolina. - ? Numerous inquiries have been re ceived by the Bureau of Internal , Revenue concerning Section 202 (c) (1) of the revenue act of 1921 which provides that for the purposes of the income tax no gain or loss shall be recognised when property held for investment, or for productive use in trade or business (not including stock-in-trade or other property held primarily for sale) is exchanged for property of a like kind or use- ? Many taxpayers and salesmen of securities are interpreting this to mean that all sales of securities and the immediate purchase of like secur ities are exchanges resulting in no gain or loss. Such interpretation of the law and regulations is erroneous. The Bureau realizes that in many ' cases it is difficult to determine Jfhether the transactions is a true ex change or really a sale and reinvest : ment of the proceeds in other securi ties. To constitute an exchange within the meaning of Section 202 (c) (f) the transaction must be a reciprocal transfer of property as distinguished from a transfer of prop erty for a money consideration. In such an exchange neither principal would pay a commission to the other, although if a broker in his capacity, as such, negotiated the exchange for either principal the fact that the broker was paid a commission for his services would not of itself take the transaction out of the classification as an exchange. If a person owning one hundr ed shares of stock in "4" cor '?r ' " 7 V poration should instruct a broker to exchange them for shares of stock in "B" corporation, it would be essen tial in order to bring the transaction within the meaning of the exchange provisions of the revenue act that the person owning the shares of "B" cor poration should receive the one hun dred shares of "A" corporation stock should receive the shares of "B" cor poration stock. The stock received in exchange should be treated by each party as taking the place of the property exchanged. If, on the other hand, the instructions to the broker are in effect to sell one hundred shares of stock in "A" corporation and invest the proceeds in shares of stock in "B" corporation, the trans action can not be treated as an ex change but is a sale of "A" corpora tion stock an<{ a purchase of "B" corporation stock. The element of exchange in this case is lacking as there is no reciprocal transfer of securities between principals unless by mere coincidence. Where the broker in the transac tion, whatever his instructions may be, sells the stock in "A" corporation and then buys the stock in "B" cor poration,. or buys the stock in "B" corporation and then sells the stock in "A" corporation, there is an inter val of time, however short, during which one or both of the customers would have title to no securities what ever. In a true exchange the passing of title to the stock in the "A" cor poration and acquisition of title to the stock in the "B" corporation, and vice versa, would be simultaneous as to both parties to the exchange. In all cases where there is a doubt as to whether the transaction is a sale or exchange, all facts connected WHAT MAKES FOR PROS PEROUS FARMERS IN N. C. BY C. B. WILUAtfS There can hardly be a shadow of doubt but what the first and most important factor in the development of the farm home, the rural church and in the betterment of schools and health in the country, is that of mak ing farming pay better. To do this, it is obviously necessary to increase our acreage production in the State at a minimum cost and at the same time secure at least reasonably fair re turns from the crops produced. Poor homes, inadequate church and school facilities are more prevelant than we should like to see them in North Caro lina, because of the fact that so many of our farms are producing such poor yields and net returns for the efforts put into their operation. During the past few years in our visits to different sections of the State, we have been struck very much with tl\? marked correlation between the productiveness of the soil and the character of the farm homes and their surroundings; schools and churches; with the healthfulness of the families; and with the educational qualifica tions of the people. In close proxi mity to such areas, it is not uncom mon to find other areas scarsely set tled with the people living in humble homes without beautification and with their children not permitted to enjoy social, religious' and educational ad vantages as do the communities es tablished on more productive lands. The underlying conditions largely causing these differences is not hard to find. Uy observations are, that to a large extent they are fundamentally connected with differences in the pro ductiveness of the soils of these dif ; ferent communities. Does not this then, unmistakably point to the fact that the greatest and most fundamen tal necessity of North Carolina farm ing is that of securing and applying information that will aid in the econo mic building up of the productiveness of soils of the State? No community, State or Nation dependent upon its agriculture, can prosper when its j soils are not productive. I North Carolina farming, in a gen eral way, therefore cannot be profit able unless goodly acreage yields are secured and at economic cost* per unit. No amount of temporarizing along other lines in a broad way can bring prosperity to the masses of our people on the farm. Year in and year out, where farmers do not get goodly yields of their crops, it is not possible to secure large returns for labor and expenses put into their production, ibWnatters not how favorable prices may ordinarily be. It is evident, therefore, from the foregoing that North Carolina farm ers must have economic production and in order to secure this they must have more productive soils so that larger acre yields may be secured. For the average farmer, one of the most economical means to aid in buildinff up soil fertility is by the ad option of suitable crop rotations on every farm in which legumes enter, and to utilize the legumes after growth in such a way so that they will aid in building up the organic matter and nitrogen supplies of the soil. On the general farm, it will aid in building up the organic matter and nitrogen supplies of the soil. On the general farm, it will have to be seen to that a portion at least of the legumes after growth go back into the soil direct. No one can, or has ever been able to remove them from the land, and have their growth on the field benefit that field in a perma nent way. It cannot be done. Again, after the crops have been produced, steps must be taken by farmers to see that the very best re turns are secured for them. it PORCH PARTY Miss Marjorie Smith was hostess Friday evening;, July 14th at a deli ghtful porch party given at her home on Daniel Street.

CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION New.Orleans, July 19.?A new chapter in the history of efforts to wards bringing about world peace will be written when representatives of World War fighters from eight prin cipal AUiied powers meet in New Or leans, October 11, 12 and_13 at the annual convention of the Inter-Allied Veterans' Federation. Tlie convention, which will be held .a few days before the fourth annual national convention of the American Legion here, will be attended by thirty-five accredited delegates from the following ex-service organisa tions: American Legion, United States; Federation Nationals des Combattants, Belgium; British Leg ion; Union National des Mutiles* et Mutiles Italiens, Italy; Uniunea Nat ionals a Fostilor Luptatori, Rou mania; Udruzenja Reservnitch Ofi cira i Obvennika, Servia; Druzina, Czecho-Slovakia. In addition France will send representatives from * the Union Nationale des Combattants, Union Nationale des Mutiles et Re formes, Le Poilu de Frace, Ligue des Chefs de Section, Camarades de Com bat and from a society of former French interpreters, who were as signed to the American and British armies during the war, known as the Sphinx. Five delegates will repre sent each country. One of the chief aim* of the inter national fighters' organization is to promote World peace and the New Orleans, gathering will be known as the convention of peace. To further this ideal the convention will decide upon means of obtaining representa tion fot veterans at Interallied and International Congresses. Interna tional exchange rates also will be a topic for discussion. Headquarters of the Federation is now at work 'on the preparation of data on comparative legislation af fecting ax-service men. The summary will contain measures which have been taken in favor of veterans and to improVe the lot of widows and children of disabled men. The delegates, who will consider themselves guests of the American Legion, will meet in Paris and sail from Le Havre, on the same ship. Landing at New York, the distinguish ed visitors will proceed to Washing ton where appropriate ceremonies will be held at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Arlington cemetery. Re spects will be paid to the United States Government and to the various diplomatic representatives of the counties participating in the confer ence, although there is a definite un derstanding that the convention of veterans in its deliberations will not be influenced by any consideration of present day politics. Among the questions to be consid ered at the conference are: 1. Laws allowing a disabled veter an living in an Allied country to ob tain in that country, in the same way as the native ex-service man of that country, reduction in railroad fares. 2. The eventual hospitalization of disabled or other impecunious veter ans living in Allied countries on the same basis as his comrades who ser ved in the armed forces of the country in which the foreigner lives. 3. Unemployment in the allied countries. Arrangements to be made by which an Allied Government hav ing need of foreign labor, will give preference to the unemployed veter ans of the other Allied countries. This policy has already resulted in the forming of plans for employment of 30,000 jobless British veterans in the French devested regions. Despite the fact that English was the language employed in the Wash ington disarment conference, dele gates to the New Orleans meeting will hold deliberations ill French. The general public will be invited to at tend all sessions. ft Our esteemed contemporary in Waterville says that a young lady in that town kneads bread with her gloves on. That's nothing. The edi tor of this paper needs bread with his shirt on, he needs breaf] with his shoes on, he needs bread with his panst on, anj) if gome of the subscrib ers to this old rag of freedom don't soon come across with what they owe him, he'll be pending bread without a darn thing on.?Iowa Country Newspaper.
