THE FIRST CRAY
HAIR SIGN Of ACE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make 1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of the
hair, to prevent it from losing its color
and lustre, is just as important as to
care for teeth to keep them from dis
coloring. Why spend money for cos
metics and creams TO improve the COM
plexion, and yet neglect your hair, when
gray hair is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of age than wrinkles or q
poor complexion? Of the two, it is
easier to preserve the natural color and
beauty of the hair than it is to have
g good complexion.
AL that is necessary is the occasional
use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, q preparation of common gar
den Sage and Sulphur, combined with
other valuable remedies for dry, harsh,
faded hair, dandruf, itching scalp and
falling hair. After a few. applications
Of this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair viii gradually be restored to its
natural color, in a short time the dan
druff will be removed, and your hair
will no longer come out but will start to
grow as Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else TO make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for
fifty cents a bottle, and your drug
gist will give your money back If you
are not satisfied after using. PUr-
chase a bottle today. You will never
regret it when you realize the differ
ence it viii make in your appearance.

labor inspections. The miner was paid
by the weight of the coal he produced.

his children with him into the mine

GAMBLE MAY LOSE EYESIGHT.
Hammers Golf Ball to See What
Makes It Resilient.

PHILADELPHIA. August Horace G.
Gamble, professional at the golf grounds
Of the Athletic Club of Philadelphia, MAY
lose his eyesight as the result of the ex-
plosicn of a golf ball with which he was
experimenting.
Gamble started on a round of the course
with D. c. Clegg. They were using a
golf ball of English manufacture. which
had been sent to Gamble to get his opin-
ion on 1t. The ball was extremely lively
much livelier than the ordinary golf ball
Gamble and Mr.. Clegg returned to the
clubhouse to investigate. They screwed
the ball fast in wise and Gamble struck
it with a hammer
There was sharp explosion. the ball
was shattered and the liquid with which
it was filled flew in CANDLES eyes
Gamble was placed in an automobile and
rushed to local specialist, where it was
discovered that the acid placed in the
ball to give it life had burned Gamble s
eyeballs. He Is still in a dark room and
it will not be known for some days if the
sight can be saved.

PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
CUMULATIVE EFFECTS.

of it, and may wonder if it is not a
waste of time. But when he nears
the half-century mark he will appre-
ciate the benefits. because he will age
less rapidly and remain more supple
h~~"use of the care he has given him
self.
aien who feel good bodily are more
inclined to engage in some sort of
physical activity than are the other
classes. And yet. as a physician told
me not long ago. the safest way to
live to a ripe old age is to have some
chronic ailment and nurse it.
The active man can at least play
golf, tennis or some other game that
will give him activity. The fact that
he is already in fair physical condi-
ton should give him reason enough to
desire to continue that way. Many of
the individuals who should have en-
tered old age in excellent form have
abused their constitutions. their mus
cles and their nerves to the breaking
point.
Nature is extremely prodigal to some
persons but 1T has its limitations even
in it's own prodigality. 1t has its max
imum beyond which it never goes.
There is a great deal of difference be-
tween being an athlete and being WELL
All that any exercise can hope to do
is to reinforce nature. and thirty min
utes or an hour six days a week
will bring about the continuity of
physical fitness that furnishes the best
bank account old age can ever boast.

X young man from Minneapolis
MIMI, writes to me in this strain: u
am thirty years of age, and have al
ways enjoyed good health and aver
age strength, but believe that l need
exercise-although 1 am reasonably
active. What good would exercise be
to beg"
There are perhaps millions of men
between the ages of twenty-five and
forty who are substantially in the
same position as the man whose letter
l refer to. They feel that perhaps they
would be better off with exercise, and
yet. up to this time. their systems
have been able to take care of all the
taxation put upon them.
Just because man is healthy and
reasonably strong is not an argument
against his lettering his physical con-
dftion. There are certain cumulative
effects Of physical development that
begin to reap their harvest later in
life. A young man may abuse his sys-
tenn with excuses of various kinds
and feel none Of the evil effects for
years. He may then quiet down and
take good care of himself for ten or a
dozen years. and finally begin to clip
the coupons from the bonds of his
previous dissipation.
On the other hand he may engage
in systematic exercise during the
years when he does not feel the need

ST. LOUIS, August 6.-Here we are into
August, with the 1OOLmark passed In
games played, two-thirds of the season
over and several clubs in both leagues out
Of the running and both fans and owners
disappointed. One-half the clubs build
ing up for another year and only rev
clubs making money out Of the venture.
Base ball is a great gamble for those
who invest their money. There Is ever
the hope of eventually developing win
ner, and winner means picking up the
losses for many poor seasons.
The clubs that got a good start did well
financially. no matter how low they
dropped in the race after July 4. The
National League has assumed policy
this year of strict economy when 1t comes
to the purchase of minor league ball
players, while the American League has
given up literally for the best OF the
youngsters. This Is especially true OF the
New York Highlanders. the Chicago
White Sox and the Detroit clubs.
There will be a larger number than ever
of drafted players this fall AS these
players will come mostly from the classes
under "A, viz, the California League, tne
American Association and the Interna-
tional League, 1t will prove handicap
for those players tied up to- the class "A
organizations Of becoming members OF
major league clubs.
AS but one player can be drafted from
the leading minor league clubs at price
of 81, 800. making but twenty-five men for
the sixteen major league clubs, it is
plain to see why the majors must de-
pend on the smaller leagues for the
talent to develop great ball teams. the
major leagues turning back the young
sters not fast enough. usually with an
optional agreement, thereby holding the
class IA clubs to second choice at all
times.
Henry Berry. owner of the Los Angeles
Club, is not satisfied with a minor league
berth and is I'm favor of making the Pa
cifc Coast League a major organization.
Does Henry understand that it would cost
about three times as much to maintain a
major league as it does his class IA
league?
How long could the American and Ma
tional Leagues exist without such cities
as Boston, New York. Philadelphia and
Chicago?
The Pacific coast would be called on to
compete with the great cities of the east,
and base ball would soon go to the dogs
on the Pacific coast. 1t costs $3.50. ZOO to
operate the Boston Red Sox and at least
81, 100000 to maintain each of the ajOr
leagues each season. Los Angeles, with

in the parent league was represented and
also the American League clubs. bat IL
the latter part Of IL is true they must have
been represented hy proxy, as the Amer

now.
The meeting was secret but details
leaked out. and Fultz once a noted ball
player himself. said there had been such
q meeting. that 1t would not be affiliated
with any labor union and that IL was
for the protection Of ball players. A
square deal for the maintenance OF con-
tractual obligations by players and club
owners is the chief aim OF the union.
There will be other meetings with an
idea OF completing the organization.
Dave Fultz is pretty familiar with
base ball law. has been q regular prac-
titioner since he gave up base ball. and
Il IN proposed. according TO the plans. to
make him president Of the union. At the

OBJECTED TO STYLE.
Swedes Would Not Allow HORNE to
Iumn in HE Form

BOSTON,. August THE mystery OF
the apparent failure of George HORNE
the California wonder. to sweep away al
records in the high jump at Stockholm, is
cleared up by explanations made by his
teammates here.
1t is explained that the Swedes would
not permit HORNE to leap in the manner
by which he attained heights which
dwarfed all previous records.
The Swedes contended that HORNE
head was the first part Of his body over
the bar. and they insisted that the proper
style was feet first.
Their ruling prevented the wonderful
jumper from demonstrating his ability to
clear heights only dreamed of by his com.
petitors.
In America there has never been the
slightest objection to his style.
