To Preserve Figure.

Unless a woman is willing to sacrihce
her figure and grow stout she must ex-
ercise every day. and IL she Is wise she
will do so directly after eating. II Is
great temptation to settle down comfort
ably after a good meal. but nothing will
more quickly add inches to the waist and
superfiuous avoirdupois to the hips More
over, one who will give heed to holding
herself erect directly after eating. even
though she may lean a little at other
times. will be aiding her complexion. Tor
the straighter she holds herself the better
will her digestive organs work, to the
proper elimination Of acids and other In
furious elements. This is worth remem-
bering.
To allow the stomach or intestines to be
cramped at all is to impede their apinty

the surplus actually was divided among
the states in proportion to population. just
as was the surplus OF the federal Ameri-
can treasury under Andrew Jackson. But
il was not long until the empire embark
ed upon broader policy OF both domestic
and foreign enterprise, which increased
the imperial expenditure more rapidly
than the revenues were able to meet IL.
This necessitated levying contributions
upon the several states. This year the
total revenue of the empire will amount
to $712.OO0,OOO. of which the several
states will contribute directly more than
$JI,U0,OOO. Last year the state con-
tributions amounted TO more than $780,
100000. These federal contributions are
assessed according to population at a
rate per head fixed in the annual imperial
budget. This power is exactly the same
as that given to the American Congress
by the Constitution, but which never has
been exercised.
The greater portion OF the federal reve-
nue.. in fact, practically all that is applica-
BILE to military and other general ex-
penses, is derived from the customs and
excise duties, precisely as il is in the
United States. OF course. the deficit made
up by state contributions comes from the
income taxes levied directly by the
states The people do not know how
much they pay toward the federal reve-
nues. since the taxes are indirect. But
they are keenly alive to the burdens of
the direct taxation Strangely enough
the direct taxes in all of the principal
states are about the same. regardless OF
the character of the particular local gov
eminent.

They are willing to instruct their dep
uties in the federal reichstag and in the
several state diets to vote the necessary
taxes to maintain Germany's magnificent
army. to build German navy which will
carry on the German program of aggres-
sive diplomacy in the near east.
The property downing classes vote these
taxes with fervor of patriotic devotion
which would be sublime IL il were not
for the fact that they vote those taxes al
together upon the industrial classes and
not upon themselves. 1t is just the same
thing that exists in Great Britain where

differs from that of the American union
in that the federal revenues are not suf-
ficient to meet the requirements OF the
imperial government, and the deficit Is
made up by matricular contributions
levied upon each of the states in pro-
portion to population.
When the empire was formed there
were two propositions for raising impe-
rial revenues. One proposed to give the
federation the power of direct taxation;
the other proposed system OF federal
support by which all the expenses of the
imperial government were 10 De con

posed to both OF these plans, yet he was
not willing entirely to exclude either from

tenn of state support. Following the ex-
ample of the United States and OF the

nroyided for indirect taxation to meet
federal expenditures. but left the power
of direct taxation with the federal gov
eminent to be levied In proportion to
population. just exactly as the right TO

danger Of continuing to increase the levies

the burden OF direct taxation In the

federal government OF the United States
namely. SO to increase the indirect taxes
as TO make the levies upon the states

Of the federal powers of direct taxation.
In attempting to levy this increased taxa
ton II must be said for the credit OF the
government that II designed to place the
burden of the increased taxes upon the
wealthy and property-owning classes
rather than upon the laboring masses
But the inequitable apportionment of
seats In the reichstag which gives the
agrarian lapd owners an unequal share
OF the membership in that body, pre-
vented the adoption OF the government
measures. The bill as first Introduced
provided for raising S125. OOOOoO additional
revenue. which would more than wine out
the SlOO.OO0,0O0 deficit annually made up

taxes were to be raised by an extended
inheritance tax which would fall on the

excise duties on spirits wines beer and
tobacco; by taxes on electricity gas adj
verusements. real estate transfers. checks
and fire insurance policies. All OF these
taxes fell most heavily upon the wealthy
and middle classes.
The result was that the reichstax ~
