il is something of an event when the
chemist snags one. Another case is
that OF Joe Jackson. the shoeless slug
ger of the Maps. There is no doubt
that Joseph can hit; any pitcher who
has faced him will remove any linger-
ing doubts TO the contrary if you ask
him. Considering only ability to
pound the ball, Joe ranks very close to
Cobb, and the Clevelander probably
can run almost as fast as Tyrus. Yet
TO compare Jackson and Cobb in gen.
eral playing ability and value to a
club is ridiculous.
The Nap lams out a base hit and
when he gets to first he is through,
immediately descending 10 the level
of mediocrity The Peach connects
for a single and is just beginning to
be dangerous. Jackson is likely to
stay on a bag a week unless somebody
happens TO move him along with a hit
or sacrifice. while if you don't watch
Tyrus carefully, he will be on third
before the pitcher can deliver three
balls.
Cobb's is applied speed" Jackson's

INSTRUCTORS TO
Get BETTER PAY
Directors of Augustana Vote an
Increase to Twelve Faculty
Members.

a general boost in the salaries OF
professors of Augustana college was
voted at the session of the board OF di-
rectors of the institution late yester-
day afternoon. All regular professors,
numbering IL in all, are affected by the
order, which will add 5000 annually to
the salaries they are now receiving.
Professor Jules Mauritzon, who holds
the chair in Swedish, was given a
raise of $500, which places him on an
equal basis with all the other perma-
nent professors of the college.
Ii has been felt for some time that
the instructors in the college have
been underpaid, but the financial
status of the college has not permit
ted any increase. The resignation of
Professor l. NJ Anderson, however.
brought the matter to a head, and in
order to retain the present efficient
faculty the board decided that a more
liberal policy was necessary.
All efforts to agree on successor
To Professor Anderson at yesterdays
session proved fruitless. Although
five candidates were considered, the
board could not unite on a man. When
adjournment was taken a committee
composed of Rev ]. Terrell, Rev. AL
! fred Appel and Dr. A. Johnson. was
appointed to make a selection and pre-
| sent its recommendation at the next
! meeting of the board. DR.. Andreen
was asked to continue the work of in
! struction in the Greek classes.
Professor c. o. Granere, assistant
librarian. was granted a leave OF alb
count of poor health. Other matters
of a routine nature were disposed Of
ard the budget for the coming year
was passed.
Augustana synod may meet in the
! twin cities for it's 53rd annual meeting
in June. This possibility became ap-
parent yesterday at the meeting of the
board of directors of Augustana col
lece, when DIR. L. A. Johnston, presi-
dent of the synod, announced that no
invitation for the synodical meeting
had so far been received from any con
gregation in the synod. The board OF
! directors thereupon decided to extend
au invitation to the synod to meet here
in case no other invitation is received
in the meantime.
1t was generally anticipated that
the synod would meet this year In
jamestown. n. Y. The First Lutheran
church of that city, however, is now
engaged in building operations which
may alter its plans. Probability is that
the 1914 session of the synod will be
held there instead.
If the synod meets here this year
il will be the second time in three
years. The 50th annual session of the
synod was held at Augustana college
in 1910 in connection with the jubilee
celebration. Last year the synodical
conference was held in Chicago and in
1911 it met in Duluth, Minn.

OLD-TIME REMEDY
DARKENS The HAIR
Gives Color Lustre to Faded
and Gray Hair-Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

For generations Sage and Sulphur
have been used for hair and scalp
troubles. Almost everyone knows the
value of such combination for keeping
the hair a good even color, for curing
dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair,
and for promoting the growth of the
hair. Years ago the only way to get
a Hair Tonic of this kind was TO make
it in the home, which was troublesome
and not always satisfactory. Nova
days, almost any up-to-date druggist
can supply his patrons with ready-to-
use product, skillfully prepared in per-
fectly equipped laboratories.
An ideal preparation of this sort
is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, in which Sage and Sulphur
are combined with other valuable rene
dies for scalp troubles and thin, weak
hair that is losing its color or coming
out After using this remedy for q
few days, you will notice the color
gradually coming back, your scalp will
feel better, the Gandruff will soon be
gone, and in less than a months time
there will be a wonderful difference in
your hair.
Don't neglect your hair if it is full
of dandruff, losing it's color or com.
ing out. Get a fifty cent bottle OF

ASSOCIATIONS BLACK LIST

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-

morning. He identified letter where
in the secretary of the National Manu-

1908: eve believe the time is COM
ing when we can rally around our
friend James E. Watson for president,
as we are now rallying to his support
for governor. We need a man of his
type, who is unashamed of friends be-
cause they happen to be respectable.

clothes, SO the voters among the rab-

Tedious reading of letter occupied
the entire morning.

ter concerning him read.

DOCTORS TELL WHY MARRIED
MEN LIVE THE LONGEST

CHICAGO, July 21.-Married men
live longer than bachelors or widowers
because they have loving wives around
to say: "One nip's enough, John" I"
and to see that hubby gets his dose of
quinine when he comes home with wet
feet.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal association reaches this conclusion
in its current issue. The journal also
comments on the fact that married
men, deprived of their wives by death
or the divorce court, pine away and
die at speedier rate than bachelors,
Undoubtedly the lower death rate
among married men is partly due to
the fact that married men live much
more regular lives and consequently
avoid many if the dangers of irregu-
lar living" said the Journal.
"This view would seem to be cor
roborated by statistics as to the NOR
tality among married men VINO have
lost their wives either by marriage
or divorce. The mortality rate among
widowers and the divorced is almost
double that of married men of the
same age"

GERMANY SAYS WOMEN
EMPLOYEES ARE IMPOLITE

BERLIN, July 22.-The German
government has given the hundreds of
women employed by the state railways
slap in the face. 1t has told them
that they are impolite and discourte-
Gus to the travelling public, and the
inference is drawn that women are
untitled for coming into daily contact
with the public.
Railway ticket selling is almost
wholly done by women in Germany.
Their slowness, brusqueness, inatten-
ton, and sharp curt replies, has been
the cause of much complaint. Eating
sandwich with one hand while sell
ing ticket with the other or leisure
ly finishing a cup of coffee while a
score of persons are in line waiting
for tickets, has been common oc-
currence. Now the head of the state
railways has issued an order that the
lady ticket sells must attend to busi-
ness and above all, be polite and cour-
teous under penalty of dismissal.

A PRACTICAL USE FOR
WORKOUT BATTLESHIPS

ROME, July 22.-By an order for
mally announced today by the min
lister of marine, Italy solves the prob
lem of what to do with discarded bat
tleships, and also possibly, what dc
with the entire navy, should world,
wide disarmament ever come. AS fast
as the warships become too antiquateo
for modern naval use, they will here
after be given to the National Society
for the Care of Tubercular Children
of Italy and its colonies.
The society plans to refit the wal
vessels into hospitals and give them
permanent anchorage not only about
the coast of Italy, but off the coast ir
whatever part of the world Italian
colonies are to be found. Others will
be used as cruising hospitals for those
of the invalids who need such treat
ment.
The action today of the Italian gov
ernment in giving its consent is the
result of a propaganda to that enc
begun at the international Congress
of Hygiene held at Rome last year
