MRS. DAN KINTNER,

Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat Of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

No "steam Roller in Baltimore.

No "Steam ROller I'm Baltimore.
With the Democratic National
Convention only week away,
there is no sign of a steam roller
here The reason is simple. The
Democrats don't own one. It's Re
publican invention and they hold all
the patent rights. The few minor
contests that will come before the
Democratic committee will be taken
up on their merits, judged according
to the rules and the evidence.
W Harmon, Wilson, Clark and I'm
derwood have set up their headquar-
tiers here. Their boomers are on the

exchange visits as If they were in

command, but all ready for united
service Under the same flag. The
corrupt politicians the thieves
and liars" the BUFFERS "dema-
gogues'' and 'rabble rousers" must
be herded in Chicago. One hears
nothing of them here.
That does not mean there is not
going. to be a genuine contest in
Baltimore. 1t promises to be the
biggest convention in history, with
plenty of thrills and exciting events
and surprises But the spirit that
prevails is entirely different from

FALL STYLES TAKE
ROBESP|ERRE T|NCE
Advance Models Of Women's Gar
ments Are Built on Ancient
Lines.
Open Work Stockings Present
Studies in Real Flesh Tints.

All hail to Robespierre AS lead
er in women's fashions for the fall
and winter of 1912 the big chief of
the French Revolutionary party,
whose principal occupation, back in
the eighteenth century, was that of
separating the heads of undesirable
citizens from their bodies, has no
equal.
1t s not on record that the grim
leader Of the revolutionary forces
ever aspired to the high position Of a
model for women's tailoring, never
theless, no woman OF this advanced
age will be we'll dressed this fall I'M
less she wears some article of appar-
ell cut after the style of the garment
of the greatest of French disturbers.
It's Robespierre blouse or a Ro-
bespierre lingerie waist or Robes
pierre collar with lots of little fussy
points and doodads hanging down in
front. Everything is Robespierre
and after viewing the advance styles
in woman's garments on display
brought from Paris, by agents Of the
Dry Goods Economist, one wonders
how the Industrious exterminator Of
royalty ever had time to do anything
but dress.
There is one notable exception,
however, one garment for which
R9bespierre cannot be blamed. It's
the fishnet stocking, a very much
open mesh affair that offers an ex-
cellent opportunity for genuine flesh
tints and mosquitoes, and is Said to
be quite the thing for street wear.
The new stocking is of navy blue
or black silk threads, so woven as to
offer the greatest possible glimpse Of
the skin and at the same time leav-
ing the wearer free of the charge Of
being stockingless Partisan maids,
it is said, are wearing them a la nat
ural but in America it will be perfect
1y proper for the more modest wo-
man to wtar them over a thin close
ly woven stocking matching in color
the dress.
The hats, too, are Of a more mod
ern design than the French revolu-
tionary period. Take, for instance,
the "Georgette sailor" 1t follows the
color scheme of this fall and is done
entirely IN navy blue, with just
enough white in the form of satin
band and aigret wings, to set it off.
The brim is perfectly fiat and round
and the upper works extend only a
few inches above the brim. It must
be at least twenty inches in diane
Ter to be in style, and If it is nearer
thirty-six inches in scope, it will be
! just, SO much nearer the Partisan
ideal
The exhibit of the advanced styles
shows that Paris has not lost its
ability for producing striking effects.
