BY means of fats people can live
with little exertion and great comfort,
to say nothing of perfect s%eclusion. No
one will bother them. and when they
are at last lowered from the fourth

peaceful life, %neighbors OF 20 years

From the Cincinnati TfmesStar.
A New York man who stepped upon the
scales and was disagreeabiy surprised to
find that his weight had passed the 200
mark forthwith planned to adopt the
walking cure for obesity. He will take q
little pedestrian jaLnt to Chicago.
The remedy that this particular indi-
vidual has applied is much too drastic to
be generally adopted by persons similarly
afflicted Rather than take a thousand
mile walk all in one installment, most of
the fat people would prefer to remain fat
case a New ork-to- Chicago walk is
not needed. Walking in moderation, per-
sistently continued day after day. is quite
as likely and perhaps even more likely
to effect a cure.
1t Is well recognized that walking more
nearly approximates q cure-all than any
other treatment ever discovered. Not only
will it cure obesity in a. majority OF cases,
but. paradoxically. it will also cure ex-
cessive thinness by creating good red
blood to correct anemic conditions. And
it will also aid materially in preventing.
If not curing. numerous maladies and
physical adlictions.
knowing all these things, the race
should be walking more and moro. instead
Of which It Is walking less and less. The
trolley car, the automobile aud other i'm
proved forms of locomotion are discoIr-
aging civilization from perambulating on
its two feet. The man who lives more
than two short squares from the trolley
line counts himself aggrieved. In reality,
were the distance two or three times as
great. both he and his family would be
better off.
The walking cure is too often regarded
as better suited to ones next door neigh
Dor or intimate friend. It Is too often
recommended to others and too seldom
employed by those who do the recon-
mending.

Ure Explains His
Consolidated Tax

Thinking that some Of the people are
under INTERPRETATION as to what he
means by consolidated tax City Treas
urer IRE replied Monday to the statement
made in an unsigned letter published yes
terday:
Il do not know who your correspondent
Is. but his complaint that in planning
for consolidated tax I am planning for
q single payment Is quite without foun-
dation.
IF we can arrange a consolidated tax
my plan has been all the time that its
operation should be by two payments,
the payment OF the taxes for the first
half Of the year to automatically delay
the payment OF the last half until the
last half Of the year.
MY idea IL that this would work out
along two lines: First. the city and
county doesn't need all the money 81
once. II the first half Of the taxes were
yaid within the first half OF the year
half the expenses OF the year would he
met, And the taxes for the last half OF
the year would pay the expenses OF the
last half of the year The payment %
taxes in this manner would be easier for
most people. who would prefer to make
the payments in two parts"
