Comb Sage Tea in Hair to
 Darken 1t.
It's Grandlnother's Recipe to kccp her Locks Dark, Glossy,
 Thick


 The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers treatment, and folks are again using it to keep their hair good, even color, which is quite sem sible, as we are living in an age when youthful appea rance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays. though, we don't have the troublesome task Of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" for about 50 cents a bottle. 1t Is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your, comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time: by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive: be- sides, prevents dandruff. itching scalp and falling hair.

KANSAS CITY TO BE
 DROPPED NEXT YEAR
It Is Said That the New League Does Not Pay in
 Missouri.

Federal league fences for 1915 are being constructed. It was learned yes- terday that the magnates have come to the conclusion that the league could be strengthened with Kansas City out of the lineup and there is a slim chance of the Missouri town being in the roll call next spring.
 Four cities are being considered in place of Kansas City-Cleveland, To- ronto, Cincinnati and Detroit, in order named. The chances are strong that Toronto, which is considered the best city in the International league, will be the one.
 It is known that President Gilmore is strong for Cincinnati, but other owners do not fancy Garry Herr mann's town. Detroit is considered as a possibility, while Cleveland is third choice.
 According to authoritative re- ports, the losses of Kansas City this year will not be large. It is said that $15,OO0 will cover the deficit for the season, due largely to the economi- cal pay roll and the small investment in the ball park. The main reason for cutting out the city on the Kaw is the added mileage. It had been the original plan of the league to get Toronto into the circuit, but time was too short and Kansas City was taken instead.

 in St. Lawrence River.

TYRUS COBB SIGNS
 UP FOR THREE YEARS
Detroit Slugger Is Said to Receive
 $15,OOO Per Season As at Present.

at Present
 Detroit. Aug. 12.-Tyrus Cobb, cen- terfielder of the Detroit Tigers, signed a new three year contract with the club yesterday. The new contract does not contain the ten day clause and Cobb's signing it silences for good and all the boasts of the Federal league that he will jump to that cir cult. It is not denied even by the Feds that the new form of contract without this clause will hold in court, and Ty is therefore safe for the sea- sons of 1915, 1916 and 1917.
 President Navin requested Ty to sign contract minus the objection able clause for the purpose of spik- ing the Federals' guns and prevented their getting a lot of cheap adver- Using by claiming that the Georgian intends to jump. The contract under which Ty now is working contains the ten day provision. This document still has another year to run, but will be superseded by the new instru- ment at the beginning of the 1915 season.
 The salary named in the new con- tract is the same as Cobb is receiving, this year. The exact amount is not known to any one except Tyrus and the club officials, but 1t is believed generally to be $15,000 or better.

 Several tests were made Cohen and \ Nelson taking turns in going below Sthe-surface. They found the waters Off Saybrook very unsatisfactory testing ground because of the sedi- n,ent. Even with the aid of power full electric search light they were un- able to see more than twenty feet ahead.

 London, Aug. 2S, 4:53 A. M.-The Times Rouen correspondent, describ- ing the battle of Mons from the ac- counts of the British wounded, says:
 "The English artillery was magnifi. cent but there was not enough of it in comparison with the enemy's. There is universal testimony that, gun for gun, both the English and French are superior to the Germans.
 "The allies shells burst without fail The German gunners find the range smartly, but their shells fre- quently fail to burst and not infre- quently miscarry and fall short. The sheer weight of their massed batteries carried them forward.
 Their infantry also advanced in close order and offered a, magnificent mark. Their losses beyond question are greater than those of the allies but so, unfortunately, were their numbers. They came and came again. All Sunday the English held their ground. On Monday morning came the order to retire."
