Homestead Exemption Aid
State Farmers Materially
Says Gov. White

County boards of supervisor s
throughout the state this month are
putting finishing touches on home
owners applications for homestead
exemptions from taxation, provided
under the Hugh White Homestead Ex-
emption act of 1888.
Although the county rolls will not
be ready for review by the State Tax
Commissions until September or Oc-
tober. it is freely predicted hat a
record number of homes will come
under benefits of the act on this
years tai bills.
Tax commission figures compiled
by the campaign headquarters f
Governor White, a candidate for the
U. S. Senate in the August 81 cleo
ton, show that 10000 registered
home owners have saved $685. 35 in
taxes on their homes since Governor
White signed the homestead exemp-
ton act in 1888. The number of home
owners obtaining exemptions increas-
ed 5000 in 1889 over 1888.
Iuc I1OIilcStedu exemption act was
passed at a special session of the
legislature in July, 1888, called by
Governor Hugh White for this speci-
Tic purpose. He had previously work
ed with a special legislative committee
in drawing up bills exemptnig all
homes, up to 5000 valuation, from
all state, county, road and school
district taxes, except levies for pond
payments, which could not constitu-
ticoolly be exempted.
After a swing over the state in the
interest of his campaigng for United
States Senate, in the ADJUST 81 pri-
mary, Governor White expressed much
pleasure at the spirit of home owners
with regard to this legislation, which
effected the only real tax relief in
state history.
All over the state home owners
have thanked me for lifting the tax
burden on their homes" he said.
Many pledged me their support for
the first time, because, they said, they
believe the time has come to send to
office men who give practical service
instead of just political promises"

"BuiId-Up" Good New.
For Suffering Women

Much of women's periodic dis
tress may be unnecessary!
Many who suffer from headaches,
nervousness, cramp-like pain, other
symptoms of functional dysmenor-
rhed due to malnutrition are helped
by CARDUI.
Main way it helps relieve periodic
distress is by increasing appetite
and flow of gastric juice. Thus it
often aids digestion; helps build
strength, energy, resistance to
periodic disturbances.
Others find help for periodic dis.
comfort this way: Start a few days
before and take CARDUI until "the
time" has passed. Women have
used CARDUI more than so years.
