inches tall and weigh 159 pounds. NY
age Is "a years. I am careful of my
diet and have been doing tfe following
exercises: Touching fingers to floor,
trunk twisting, high kicking, jumping
rope. Besides this take walk every
afternoon and do housework at home.
I have lost eight pounds, but lose SO
slowly that 1 am wondering II / will
ever get back to normal weight. Please
give me more effective exercise for
reducing from the waist down, including
fat ankles. S. T. F..
Answer--It is much better for your
health and your beauty to reduce slowly
at rate Of not more than two pounds
week. Keep up the exercises and
dieting and outdoor walks DO the
exercises for IS minutes both night and
morning. Do not sleep more than 8
hours a night. Vary your exercise pro-
gram with the following: ID Lie on
your back on the floor; double up your
legs on your chest, knees bent. Kick up
vigorously with each leg alternately 10
or 20 times. (2) Lie on side and swing
the upper leg in wide circles, keeping
knee straight. To reduce fat ankles
rotate your feet at the ankle until
slightly fatigued. Keep up the dieting
and exercise and I feel sure that YOU

July ID. 1803.-~By an ordinance
passed today by the City Council.
Washington Boyd. city treasurer. was
directed to make new assessment
OF taxable city property upon a basis
that viii approximate more nearly the
real value OF the property than the
assessment made heretofore. The total
assessed value at present Is 81 $3.50, 500.
which Is considered to be about one
half of the real value.
The amount OF the tax due on the
above assessed value. at the rate Of
less than half Of this amount has
been collected.
The large percentage Of uncollected
taxes Is mainly due to the immunity
conferred on the owners of unimproved
property by the charter Of the city,
which forbids the city authorities To
pass any law TO sell unimproved prop
erty for taxes, An attempt to lessen
the effect OF such privilege has been
made by the City Council by providing.
In It's first enactment regarding taxa
ton, for the seizure OF the personal
property of such delinquents residing
In the city and for the usual legal
process of recovering debt In the case
OF non-residents. This Is the practice
followed In the State OF Maryland
This method Is regarded as slow and
very uncertain. however and In effect
the largest part Of the taxable property
In the city Is today freed from taxa
tion under the provisions OF the city
charter.
Many persons. and particularly the
city authorities. regard the discrimina-
ton In favor of unimproved property
as very unfair II Is contended that
the inability OF the city authorities
TO collect taxes on this class of prop
erty will seriously handicap them In
completing the Government buildings
necessary TO house the Federal Govern
ment adequately and improving the
city streets. Some persons have gone
so far rs To say that this objectionable
provision was put In the charter by
the opposition party for the purpose
of making the instrument valueless and
the city government tmpotent
