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.

His Home Life.
Mr.. Weller's immediate family con-
sists of his wife and one son. now
grown, who has recently been living
in the West. Like most men who have
been successful, he has an abiding
faith in the innate intuition of his
wife. who, naturally. is greatly con-
cerned in his Gubernatorial aspira-
tons and is a real helpmate in her
sympathetic interest.
The position of Roads Chairman
was accepted by Mr.. Weller not be-
cause he needed a iob-or rather the
salary it paid-but because he did not
wish to remain inactive and was anx-
ious to do something of constructive
nature. In fact, Weller is con-
structive man. He is a builder. He
holds that these principles should be
ard can be. applied to the running of
the Maryland State government
There are certain fields especially
where he believes constructive work
can be accomplished to the great bene-
fit of the people, and one of these is
the Maryland Agricultural College.
Fond OF Study.
Weller is a studious man and a
thoughtful man. He lilies to study a
problem, get all the ends together and
see what he can make of it. He is the
kind of man that believes in getting
somewhere in a proposition and he
weighs the difficulties in the way and
then acts. He never goes off half
cooked, is deliberate in his judgment,
makes up his mind what is the best
thing to do and then does it. That's
Weller.

is Frank S. Revell. of Anne Arundel
county, who is extremely active in De-
mocratic politics, and the secretary is
William H. Maltbie the Baltimore law
yer. who has an occasional and rather
reformatory hand in Republican poll
tics. They three constitute the COM
mission. The president receives $4,000

$500 each.
None of them is frequently at the
commissions office. Go there on day
when the board is scheduled to meet
ard possibly all will be on hand; go
there almost any other day and prob
ably none will be on hand. In justice
to Mr.. Maltbie, it should be said that
he has been very patient student of

ment of those most interested, has
contributed to whatever steps may
have been made in solving it.

BUILDER OF GOOD
STATE ROADS

Maryland knows Mr.. Weller as a
road builder. Some years ago he man.
aged a Congressional campaign for
Robert Garrett, in which he came in
touch with the political workers in the
Second Congressional district. He is
generally recognized as staunch Re-
publican, but other than the expert
eEce mentioned he has taken no part
in practical politics.
As road-builder many people, re-
CARELESS of party, are inclined to re-
gard him as a conspicuous success. He
has been able to push the work to
completion and to keep out of it any
thing savoring of partisan politics and
corruption. The roads chairman has
strong admirers among men of all
parties for the work he has done in
Maryland and the way he has done it..
They regard him as an efficient man.

Friendship For Weeks.

Incidentally the intimate friendship
between Mr.. Weller and John w.
Weeks, a member of the firm of Horn
blower & Weeks and now United
States Senator from Massachusetts
and a tentative candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for President
next year, began at the Naval Acad-
envy where Senator Weeks was a
member of the same class.
This close association formed be-
tween the two cadets continued in
after years, and Mr.. Weller still re-
ters to Senator Weeks as 'the best
friend have in the world"
From his youth the Republican
nominee for GoverCr has been called
".Doc' by his early friends, including
former Cadet Weeks and the others.

He's The Oyster Navy.

If one inquiries about the Oyster
Navy he is told: "Oh, Tom Howard is
commander of the Oyster Navy. has
been for years and probably will be
for years. He knows all about it."
Commander Howard is the Oyster
Navy. He and his deputy command
ers are appointed by the Board of
Public Works. When those formali-
ties have been performed the rest is
left to Commander Howard
There are those wha say that many
years in the position of commander
have made tom" Howard rather an
absolute monarch; that he comes when
he pleases and goes when he pleases
on the steamer Governor McLane, and
that no one but him knows anything
about it.
About all the average man knows
about the Oyster Navy and its worth
to the State is indicated by the COM
mon assertion by tdewater men that
when the natural-rock oystermen
make up their minds to poach on
planting ground or to destroy plant
ing. they will do so! And it has been
observed that when trouble breaks out
among the oystermen the patrol boats
are SENT to the scene.

Man OF Simple Tastes.
Mr. Weller is a man of great simpli
city in his habits and tastes. He is as
plain as the proverbial old shoe and
puts on 10 frills.
His home is near Reisterstown, Bal
timore county, where he was born 80
years ago. Although he has made two
tours of the globe he regards Balti-
more county as the garden spot of the
world, and after returning from his
travels he again settled there in the
same locality where he grew up as a
boy.
He graduated at the Franklin High
School at Reisterstown at the age of
16 ard was appointed a cadet to the
United States Nava! Academy by the
late Charles B. Ro' erts, then men,

position under the Government he

STONE EXPOSES RAILROADS
FINANCIAL TRICKS
How to get rich by tricks in rail-
road finance viii be explained by
Warren S. Stone, chief of railway en-
gineers,- at wage hearing in federal
building. Stone announced that
he is going to the bottom of why the
railroads say they haven't got money
enough to pay more wages to their
engine workers.
Measures have already been TAX
en- by the issuance of fictitious cap
italzation to absorb the increased
work and productive efficiency of our
children and our children's children, .
he said, "and there is no hope for
the engineer and fireman and other
classes of railroad employees to secure
equitable participation in the fruits of
their work so long as the present
financial control and administration
of railroads is unregulated.
I'VE shall show that if gains from
past productive efficiency had been
properly conserved enormous wage
advances could be granted to all
classes Of railroad employees, both or
ganized and unorganized, without
prejudice to the interests of the own
r. ers of the property. Proceeds from
munificent grants of land by the gov
eminent we're not properly used.
Their value was capitalized by fota-
ton of fictitious securities.
I'VE shall show that all the fore
going conditions exist and shall con-
clude by showing that despite the
financial excess of railroads in the
past they are still financially able to
pay fair increases in wages"

REFUSES TO ALLOW
 SAILING OF DACIA
Great Britain Will Not Permit Steam CT to Proceed to Rotterdam Un-
 der Safe Conduct With Cotton.

Washington Jan. 19.-The British government will not consent to all low the steamer Dacia recently trans ferred from German to American registry to proceed to Rotterdam un- der safe conduct with her cargo of cotton, the state department was not flied today from London.
 The British reply to suggestions for safe conduct recently made by the state department came through the American embassy at London. While the text of the messag ge was Withheld, it is known the British ob- jection was based broadly on a re- luctance to create a precedent which. it is felt, would be followed by many similar purchasers of German ships In America and efforts to oper1fe them on the former German trade routes.
 The British note does not under take to assert the right of Great Britain to interfere with ships Dur- chased and transferred to the Amer ican flag in a legitimate way. The objection to the transfer of the Da ,ia, according to the British view is thar it was not genuine, and that the American purchaser really was act ing for German principals.
 The Dacia's cotton cargo, admit tedly. is not subject to seizure and the British note leaves it to be in ferred that if the owners of the COL ton do not make other arrangements for It's shipment to Germany and the Dacia puts to sea the cotton will be unloadcd in an English port and placed at the disposal of the owners tn fOru7a rI and neutral ship. or appropriated by the British government upon pay ment to the owners of it's invoice value.
