TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
H MIXED WITH SULPHUR 1T
DARKENs SO NATURALLY
NOBODY CAN TELL.

The old time mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkenlng gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment. and folks are
again using It to keep their hair a
good, even color, which Is quite SEN
slble, as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance Is Of the great
est 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 Compound" for about 80
cents a bottle. II is very popular be-
cause nobody can discover It has been
applied. Simply moisten your comb
or q soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time: by morning the gray
hair disappears. but what delights
tho ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkenlng the hair after few appli-
cations. II also produces that soft
lustre and appearance OF abundance
which is so attractive; besides. pre-
vents dandruff. itching scalp and fall
ing hair.

NEW YORK, Jan, 2.-When own
er Comisky, of the Chicago White
Sox, decided TO select Clarence Henry
Rowland, minor league player, as
manager of his club, various baseball
critics here put the matter down sS
one of Comiskey's whims.
Rowland has always been a bosom
friend of Comiskey and held friendly
relations with ex Manager Callahan
and Ban Johnson. Comiskey also
figured the failing of several big
leaguers who were appointed to lead
his club and finally decided to take
the chance Of giving the minor leag-
uer the position.
Rowland is among the most favor
ed minor league players in the coun-
try and Il he can carry this popularity
with him into the majors both Com.
iskey and Ban Johnson are certain
that Rowland's knowledge and win
ming personality will offset lack Of
major league experience.
Has anyone ever stopped to consid-
er how baseball salaries have grown
Noted authorities here have taken the
trouble TO point out that Walter
Johnson's salary next year will aggre-
gate the total salary paid to the Phil
adelphia infield and .outfield players
some fifteen years ago.
1t Is shown by statistics that the
sum of $4,000 was paid in salaries

during the coming session OF the leg
islature there viii be no more boxing.
Despite the efforts Of the boxing com

reformers declare the Frawley law

It can be said that the reformers
are not entirely without support and

was made to repeal the Frawley law
it almost met with success Law
makers from up state sustained the
repeal vigorously as the sentiment
