FAT IS AN OFFENSE

'The female form being capable Of
expressing a supreme degree of grace
should be an inspiration in our daily
lives and lead up to higher ideals Of
beauty" said the art lecturer. There
fore the fat woman is an enemy TO
the artistic uplift, for she is entirely
too heavy for any wings Of fancy to
raise.
Il can't understand how any woman
win remain fat when II is so easy to
reduce ones flesh. In the Latin quar-
ter OF Paris one never sees a gross
figure. Although the art models take
things easy, sit around a great deal
and eat just whatever they please,
yet they keep their flesh firm and
their figures beautiful They have a
simple fat reducer that takes the place
OF starving and gymnastics. 1t con-
sists of a teaspoonful after meals and
at bedtime Of this simple receipt; 1-2
ounce Marmola, 1-2 ounce Fluid Ex-
tract Cascara Aromatic, and 3 1-2
ounces Peppermint Water. That's all.
Why don't fat. pudgy American women

much better to reserve such tax for the states.
1t is improbable, however, that large sum
would be realized from such a tax in Delaware,
because we have but few rich men in this state.
In New York from such tax considerable sum
is secured.
In considering this matter it is well to keep
in mind the basic principles OF taxation. The
first of these generally accepted principles is,
The subjects Of every state ought to contribute
to the support of the government, as nearly
possible in proportion to their respective abilities,
that is, in proportion to the revenue which they
respectively enjoy under the protection Of the
State. In the observation or neglect of this
maxim consists what is called the equality or in
equality OF taxation"
In other words, this means that taxes should
be levied upon wealth The maxim given above
is, of Course the ideal of taxation which is not
often found in practice The income tax is the
farest kind of tax in theory, but in practice it be-
comes burden upon the conscientious person
and is evaded by the dishonest
Under our present method of taxing real es-
tate every one knows the injustice that allows
small properties, for example, to be taxed 10
their full value while larger properties are as
sessed below their true worth.
The inheritance tax is simply a method OF tax
ing wealth-wealth not accumulated even by its
owners. 1t is a very fair tax.
