made great gains. despite the fact that
every newspaper in the city OF Balti-

Latest reports from New York in
dictate that Taft will probably carry the
State, but that Governor Hughes cleo
ton Is by no means certain. Estimates
have been made by supposedly compe-
tent political observers, that the Demo
cratic majority in greater New York
will not have more than $50. 900, and that
the upstate vote will be Republican by
not less than 10000 on the national tick
ct.
In New York city II is believed that
the socialist vote will be surprisingly
large In some Of the strong Democrat
&c districts on the East Side. the lead
ers have been astOnished to discover the
extent of this trend. which is directly
due to the effort OF J. Phelps Stokes
and his party workers. The DebS meet

open their eyes.
Just what figure the Independence
party will cut, II is not possible yet TO
Hearst has attracted a great deal of
notice by his disclosures and by his
attack on the two old parties and there
is reason to expect that his candidate
will poll quite a large vote. In the ma
jority OF instances, both the Socialist
and the Independence party votes Will
be drawn from the Democrats, and TO
that extent they will help the Repub-
lican ticket.

This would have been sad news for
the fat woman a year ago. She would

Nowadays. however, the woman who Is
too fat for the styles goes to a druggist
and gets a case Of Marmola PresCrip-

after each meal and at bedtime and so
reduces her superfiuous flesh quickly.
These tablets. being made in accord

perfectly harmless, and they are. also.
