typical Of excessive overweight,
and it Is possible to lose as much
as four pounds the first week Of
reducing. However, once this loose
fat is removed the progress is more
gradual.
Those Of you who are only slight
ly above normal weight will natur.
ally have only a small amount OF
the flabby fat to remove, and your
initial progress will be proportion
ately slower. The stocky indi-
vidual whose flesh is compact will
not lose rapidly at any stage OF
the program. This applies also to
the athletic overweight.
There is one other consideration
in the rate Of loss. A strict diet
brings miraculous results to the
person who has continually over
eaten, but if you have always tried
to be Sparing of your calories you
may be disappointed with the re-
suits of strict diet.
The healthy condition Of your
excess weight and the, absence Of
flabby fat makes the beginning of
reducing a slower process. The
loss of one pound per week is prob
ably all you can expect.
The secret of successful reducing
is to take the weight off slowly,
and to exercise regularly, along
with dieting, to replace fat with
firm muscle tissue.

whereas fast reducing produces
flabbiness of the muscular system.
Your reducing rate should de-
pend on the amount Of excess
weight, the length of time you
have been overweight, and the
condition of the fat.
If you are from twenty to fifty
pounds overweight, you can expect
to lose as follows: about eight
pounds in January, six to eight
pounds in February, and four to
six pounds in March. In April
you will reach a stationary period
in your program, and may not lose
more than two pounds the entire
month. This period enables you
to stabilize the previous losses.
The initial weight loss is in soft,

last week scanned reports as to
the income tax collections on
March 10. While it is too early
to determine accurately the rev.
enue indicated from income taxes
this year, treasury officials con-
fidently expect that collections
will double last years figures.
Some of the gain is the result of
increasing business and of several
changes in the lew which came
into effect for the first time. These
include the undistributed profits
tax, an increase in mamixum sur
tax rates on individuals, and
requirement that dividend re-
osaipts be subjected to normal in
