Your Income Tax.

If you are single and support in
ly related to you and over whom you
exercise family control, you are the
head of a family and entitled under
the revenue act of 1924 to the same
personal exemption allowed a
married person, $4,000. In addition,
a taxpayer is entitled to a credit of
$400 for each person dependent upon
him for chief support, if such person
is either under Is years of age or in
capable of self-support because
mentally or physically defective.
Such dependent need not be mem
Der of the taxpayers household. For
example, an unmarried son who sup
ports in his home an aged mother is
entitled to an exemption of $4,000
plus the $400 credit for a dependent,
a total of $4,000. If from choice
the mother lived in another city,
the son although her chief support,
would be entitled only to the $1,000
exemption, plus the $500 credit.
The mother not living with him, he is
not considered the head of family.
An exemption as the head of a
family can be claimed by only one
member of a household.
The $400 credit does not apply to
the wife or husband of a taxpayer,
though one may be totally dependent
upon the other.

HEED THE WARNING
Many Hurley People Have Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days of suffering may be saved.
Weak kidneys usually expel a dark,
ill-smelling urine, full of "brickdust"
sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause a dull
pain in the small OF the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid
feelings and frequent rheumatic
twinges.
Doan's Pills are for the kidneys
only There is no better recon-
mended remedy.
Hurley people endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills. Ask your neighbor!
Mrs. R. Gehrke, 50 Seventh Ave,
Hurley, says: "A cold disordered
my kidneys and | had dull, bearing
down pains in the small of my back.
When | stopped, the pain was worse.

Gladly do We look forward to a
special holiday; but do we always APP
preciate the meaning Of the day so
honored? Holidays stand on the
calendars as reminders to us of what
We owe to some person, or group of

come to mean to US only a days

we then fail to give honor where
honor is due, and lose so much honor
ourselves by our failure.-Selected.
