NAMES COMING IN.
Fans Are Suggesting New Title for
Baseball Club.

Apparently the fans of the city agree
with Dick Cooley and the members of
the Topeka baseball club in declaring
that the name Kaws is q joiner" In
the first mail today were three letters
from good and well known fans OF the
city who have other names to suggest.
Charles Joslin. one Of the most active
members Of the Booster and Rioters
club, made the first suggestion. r. w.
Hutchins, commonly known as Hutch.
was the second, and Calvin Brewer
was the third man. Contrary to usual
practice, these letters were opened and
the following suggestions were found:
Charles Joslfn suggested the name OF
Cooley's White Sox; Mr.. Brewer sug-
gested the ID. CT club and Hutchins
suggested the name Athletics. Hutch
ms is a great admirer Of Connie Mack
and his world champions Of Philadel-
phia of the American League. and be-
lieves it will be perfectly right and
proper to borrow the name, at least for
temporary use.
The players on the club and Dick
Cooley, the manager. will not enter in
competition in selecting a new name.
Sport McAllister still clings to the idea
that the club should be called the
White Elephants.

sen conceded that it seemed to be.
He denied that the Storstad navigated
in the fog for one half and a. half
prior to first seeing the mast head
lights Of the Empress.
When the lights came into view, he
said, the Empress was about six miles
away and on "a half point on the
StOrstad's port bow. She was pur-
suing a course across the GOLFERS
bow.
Witness said at the end of fifteen
minutes the Empress had changed
her course and was about one point
on the port bow of the Sterstad.
He said he ordered the helm aport
and a little later hard aport, the OBJ
ject being to keep the ship from
swinging to port. The witness was
inclined to blame the current for
swinging the ship. He said he did
not hear the Empress blow two long
blasts. Finding the helm would not

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray Here's a Simple
Recipe that Anybody can Apply
with Hair Brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother s time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her hair fell out or took ON that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
PIE mixture was applied with wonderful
effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-ofdate. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 30 cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Hair Rem
cdy', you VII, get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plicatiOn or two, it becomes beautifully
dark glossy, soft and abundant. Local
agent j. G. Perry.
