Co+ch = Poor Roxer

Tommy Ryan, who gave Gotch a
tryout at Milwaukee, in talking of the
wrestler's prospects in the pugilistic
game said:
'"The big fellow is not well versed in
the art Of boxing despite the fact that
he has had number of private tits
with Kid Mccoy and has had several
fights. I thought he knew enough to
cut loose and whale away with both
hands just to demonstrate that fighting
and not clever boxing was his idea Of
the game, but he was away off that
sort of work Do l think can make
a fighter out Of him? Well, that de-
Ponds upon him. do not think he
will be of the scientific class, but he
should make a good slugger If he fol-
lows my instructions"

Mistakes In Waterinu.
protection

Growers of pot plants too often make
more mistakes in watering than lin any
other part of the culture of these
plants. Some will water their flowers
regularly every day and then wonder
why it is that the plant has not done
veil as the result of so much atten-
kon. The trouble is that it has been
too we'll looked after, and had the W.
ter been forgotten now and again the
plants would have done much better
Plants should not be Watered unfit
they show by the drying of the soil
that they need some moisture, and
when watering them do not give taem
dribble, but thoroughly soak them
until the water drips from the h0le liz
the bottom of the pot. This insures ali
the roots being thoroughly wetted
Roots need fresh air as we'll as waters
and in thoroughly soaking the soil in q
pot the vitiated air is forced away from
the roots and fresh air takes it's place
as the soil dries out When watered
too often the soil does not get dry
enough to admit this air to the roots,
and failure follows. A good test Of
when a plant needs water is to rap the
pot with the knuckIes and if a hollow
sound is heard water the plant, but ne4
if the sound is dull and heavy.

A Choice Late Pear.

Among the choice late pears little

prime between October and December

in cold storage will keep considerably
longer. It's russell dotted and marbIed
yellow skin is rather thick and granU-
lar, and the flesh is somewhat coarse,
especially at the core, but rich, juicy
and sugary. For home use its vigorous
productiveness and beauty have made
it a favOrite wherever known. It,
however, needs a favorable situation
in which to attain its best develop
ment. Young trees in cold, undrained
soils are apt to produce rather coarse
stringent fruit, but on well drained
land the mature trees do much better
On account Of its long, stout, twisting
branches it is frequently grown as

ties of twenty rounds or more will be
pulled off. By recent act OF the Los
Angeles city council no more twenty
round contests will be held in Los An
geleS, and it has been freely limited that
that ordinance was the result of infu-
ence from Baldwin's town, by which
1t was hoped to kill the game in Los
Angeles and open a club in Arcadia, on
the outskirts Of Los Angeles. Mike
says he can get any amount Of money
and the right kind of support in Ar
cadia to successfully launch his ven
ture. The financial end however, was
taken care of very handily by the Sui
Ivan family, he declares.
"The first thing my club will offer
after it gets going" says Mike, twill
be a $4,000 purse for a twenty-five
round fight between brother Jack and
Tommy Burns. Burns ought to be
willing to meet Jack for that purse,
for we will cut the purse SO that he
will make nice slice out of it." Mike
expects to become rival of McCarey
and also cut into Jimmy Coffroth and
Jack Gleason, the Frisco promoters.

HEALTHY HAIR.
Scalp MASSAGE the Secret of Keeping
the Hair Healthy.


Scalp Massage the Secret of Keeping
the Hair Healthy.
Scalp massage is the secret of keep
ing the scalp and the hair healthy. 1t
is done easily and is not a great tax
either or time or patience. The hair pro-
ducing scalp is loosely attached to the
underlying skull, as any one can prove
with the fingers. When the scalp be-
comes adherent to the bones under
meath and will not move easily, then
the hair will fall out and the health
mess OF the hair follicles will become
impaired. Therefore one should have
two ends in view-that of keeping the
scalp perfectly loose and flexible upon
its supporting framework, the skull,
and that Of preventing the flow Of
blood to the roots so that the hair fol-
licles will be nourished properly and
the oily glands secrete their substance
to keep the hair from growing dry and
brittle In order to do this only three
movements of both hands in concert
are necessary. Before dressing the
hair and when taking it down at night
loosen it by giving the ends Of it two
or three light strokes; place the tips
Of the fingers of both hands at the
junction of the hair and forehead and
then work them with the circular mo-
ton gently, but firmly, toward an i'm
aginary center at the top of the head
At each turn of the fingers let them
work lightly on the surface and then
deeply. The first motion is addressed
to the hair follicles themselves, the
next to moving the scalp on the head
so as to make it soft, yielding and flex-
ible. The second movement is made
by placing the tops of the fingers so
that the forefnger of each hand will
meet where the last massage left Off
This will bring the fingers of each
hand over an ear at the juncture Of the
hair with the skin. In the same man
ner as before they should work over
the hair roots with light and deep mas
sage until the fingers meet at the cen
ter.
For the third movement of scalp
massage the fingers of each hand are
placed so as to meet at the back of the
neck where the hair begins, and by de-
scribing the same motion as before
they work themselves upward to the
center.
In this manner the entire scalp in
less than five minutes receives thor.
ough stimulation. The hair responds
at once and will be found to be full
of life and electricity when before Il
was lifeless and dull.
1t also will make the whole head feel
light and better. This manner of car
ing for the hair cannot be too highly
recommended. 1t is easily and quick
Il done and will keep the scalI
healthy and prevent the hair from
