MAKES FAT PEOPLE
SLIM
New York Physician Perfects
Harmless Method of Reducing
Weight
The loss of as much as a pound
of excess fut a day with no harm
ful results Is the record made by
many patients of Dr. 11. Newman,
a licensed practicing physician
of 286 Fifth Avenue, New York,
who announces that he has per
fected a treatment which has
quickly rid fat people of excess
weight. What Is more remark
able Is the Doctor's statement
that he has successfully .treated
thousands of patients for fat re
duction without chnngo of diet
or unnecessary exercise. It ia
also said that fat people who suf
fer from chronic rheumatism,
gout, asthma and high blood pres
sure obtain great relief from the
reduction of their superfluous
flesh. Realizing that this sounds
almost too good to be true, the
Doctor has offered to send with
out charge to anyone who will
write him, a free trial treatment
to prove his claims, as well as
his "Pay-when-reduced" plan. If
you want to rid yourself of super
fluous fat, write him today, ad

of the stntes who claim a right to ux
the property it a seriuus burden to
the heir who is to receive the truck,.
Tarticularly is this expense disprop.
ortioiiute to a tax paid by a small
estate, which baa but a few shares
of stock. In many case tiie expense
alone niutit exceed the total value of
the shares which it in sought to trans
fer. Looking at it from the stsod
point of state revenue, 1 nui told u 9
probable that the full cost of execu
tors of ascertaining the tax and ob
Uiiuing the necessary transfers is in
the aggregate nearly as inticb as the
tax received by the states upou this
property uf non-resident dependents.
Here, in deed, is extravagance in
taxation. '

each other and to their taxpayas
some way will be found of obvintiog
this extravagance by giving up entire

cenrlents, or by the imposition upon
the transfer of such property of a

taxpayer makes each year, and pay

and estate taxes are capital tiiua;
they take a part of the accumulated
capital of tlit nation. Tbis capital is
not usually represented by cash or
readily marketable securities, but it
may be a business built up by the do
cedent through bis lifetime, or prop

"The effects of these excessive tax

lower values throughout the country
by reason of forcing upon the market
securities which cuuuut be readily ab
sorbed, thus lowering the very level
of vnlueg upon which iulieriiuuce u.,n

toucues directly and Indirectly all of
our citizens. The most nhvimiH ipM ,.r
economy Is for the government to
epeuo lera. i i, nowever, equally de
sirable that the burden put by tbe
gorerninrnt on its citliens be produc
tive uf government revenue and not
destructive of the property of tbe
taxpayer, fur it is what the taxpayer
give, rather than wuat Uie govern
ment ultimately spends, which meas

and the imposition of economically

At the last few anuual meetings it
the National Tax association, and at
a recent conference of the tux com
missioners of several states, tiie posi
tion has been taken that the federal
government should withdraw from the
field of estate taxes.
"TMq view hn miieh to eiui-
eminent hns. entered this field only on
tiie of'CHsi'ill of war emergency, and
in every case, except the present, has
withdrawn when the reason for ex
ceptional taxation ceased. The emer
gency created by the great war, when
lost the federal government entered
the field, has ended. The right to in
herit property owes its existence, hot
Thursday EhigjH,
to on federal law, but to the law
of the atate. Federal edtato taxa
tion, therefore, has not the natural
excuse which it conceded to utate In
heritaoce taxation. The federal gov
ernment being in the field, however,
particularly with re tea as exceaaive ui
thoie recently adopted, renulta in a
very material decmae in tbe amouut
and vulue of the property upon which
the states levy their InhnritaDce tax-
en. If the atate are to suffer diinuni
tion in revenue from tbia aource, they
can make up their losses only by high
er taxes in other fields.
"Already the taxes levied by the
states upon land are so high ua :o
menace the prosperity of tbe farmer.
Kor the trak of the revenue which
the federal government receives fro;i
tbis source beinff in the lat fs:I
year only 5303.000.000 out of 2,700.
000,000 total internal revemie taxin
for that year tiie federul government
should be careful to see that indirect
ly it is not taxing the very pereonH
whom It wishes to relieve. While we
may not be able to absorb ho grat :i
loss of revenue In one year,, we couU
provide for gradual retirement from
the field as our government expense
decide." ' . .
