WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Belfast People in Poor Health With
out Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who drag
out a miserable existence without realiz-
ing the cause of their suffering. Day
after day they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from nervousness,
dizziness, weakness, languor and depress-
ion. Perhaps the kidneys have fallen
behind in their work of filtering the blood
and that may be the root of the trouble
Look to your kidneys, assist them in their
work-give them the help they need. You
can use no more highly recommended
remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills-en-
dorsed by people all over the country and
by your neighbors in Belfast.
Mrs. Hattie Wallace, Sc Waldo avenue,
Belfast, says: ''Doan's Kidney Pills did
me world of good when 1 suffered from
kidney trouble. They cured me of this
complaint and during the past few years
have had no more trouble from my kid
neys. l have previously recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills and what l said in
my former statement holds good today"

enue Rufus w. Fontenot today gave
out the following statement:
''For 1919 a taxpayer may be al
lowed credit Of 5000 for each per-
son for whom he is the chief support.
But it must be remembered that he
can claim this additional exemption
only with respect to children seven
teen years Of age or younger and per-
sons mentally defective, eripples and
persons old enough to be without
question physically incapicitated for
self support.
eff the taxpayer contributes 10 the
support Of some relative or other per-
son who is over seventeen years Of
age, in fair health, and still active,
he can net be allowed the additional
$500 even If he is furnishing the
chief support.

ports does not have to be relative,
but can be any child or any cripple
or defective, the child or incapaei-
tated adult may live anywhere, and it
I is necessary that he furnish only more
than half Of the support.
"The chief difference is that for
head Of a family the restriction is
to close relatives, the evident object
Of which is to promote the home; for
dependent the restriction is to chill
dren under eighteen years Of age Of
persons mentally or physically defec-
tive, the object Of which is to recog-
nize material assistance given to
