COCOANUT' OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less sorp YOU
use the better.
Most soaps ard prepared shanpcos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle
and is very harmful. just plair
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless). is much
better than soap or anything else
you can use for shampooins. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich. creamy lathe,. and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out east
ly. and removes every particle Of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut
oil at most any drug store 1t is
very cheap. and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.-Advt.

 w. W. Haughton, an old-time fight writer on the coast (now deceased), {, heard of FitZ, and it was through his efforts as much as anything else that the lanky Cornishman was brought to this country from Australia in the spring of 1890. From the first fight that Fftz had in this country, his fighting career was comprised of a long string of ring successes, the like of which has never been equalled be- fore or since his time.
 He reached the championship stage at New Orleans, January 14, 1891, when he appeared in the ring with Jack Dempsey, then middleweight champion of the world. The fight was held at the Olympic club for a. purse of $12,0O0, of which 1000 was to go to the winner and but $1,000 to the loser. Fitz weighed in at 150 12 pounds while Dempsey tiped the beam at 147 1-2, the weighting in being done in front of the audience

The only thing left for him to do was to fight bigger men than himself, so he moved bag and baggage over into the heavyweight camp and shied his war bonnet into the ring with the big fellows.
 At this time James J. Corbett was heavyweight champion by virtue of. his defeat of the mighty John L., sol FItz camped on Corbett's trail until he landed a match with the California star for the heavyweight championship of the world. Carson City, New, was selected as the battle-ground, and the
 Corbett entered the ring cool and smiling and looking his lanky oppo- nent over with the superior air of one sure to win. He had reason for the feeling, as Fitz weighed only 165 pounds, while Jim tipped the bean at 190, but Bob won in If rounds, and Fitz was middIeweight and heavy weight champion rolled into one.
 It would seem that two titles would be enough for anybody, but Fitzsim- mons was not yet satisfied, and he inn mediately began to look around for. new worlds to conquer. He found his man in George Gardner, who was then recognized as the light heavyweight champion of the world. Fftz went right after him, and the match was finally clinched.
 The battle was fought at San Fran cisco November 25, 1903, Fftz gaining the decision after 20 hard rounds. In this bout Fitz broke his hand early in the fight, but that never stopped him and he fought right on to the finish with only his left in commission.

FITZSIMMONS HELD THREE
 WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Banked As the Greatest Fighter the
 World Ever Had.

In all the history of the fighting game but one man has ever held three worlds championships, and by virtue of holding them he must be ranked above all other ringsters as the greatest fighter the world ever knew Robert Fftzsimmons. light heavyweight.
 Not only did Ruby Bob" hold the middleweight and heavyweight championships until weight and the
 kick of Jim Jeffries deposed him, but he won them at periods in his life so far apart as to make it seem in- credible that any human being could stand the wear and tear of the game as long as he did. He was twenty eight years old when he wrested the middleweight crown from Jack Demp- sey, thirty-five years old when he won the heavyweight honors from James J. Corbett, and almost forty three years old when he beat George Gardner in match for the light heavyweight title.
 And to top that off, he was fifty three years old last winter when the New York boxing commission arbi- trarily put an end to his fighting career by refusing to allow him to enter a ring in the Empire state be- cause he was too old. Otherwise, the lanky one might be holding another crown today.
 Fitzsimmons was the prize freak of the ring. Possessing a powerful pair of shoulders, with long arms and deep torso, he dwindled away to nothing in the legs until only the

Lambert, although a clever boxer, was outclassed in every way by Monty, who was right there with the goods, when it came to ducking and blocking. Three times Lambert went down before Monty in the second round The first time he got to his feet at the seventh count, the second time Kid Wilson, the referee got nine counts on him and the third time he took the count
 The match was pulled off in a. barn about a mile and a half from the Yer sailles station and was witnessed by crowd of about 150. George Malcolm, equipped with 8 COW bell, did duty as timekeeper. The rounds were of three minutes duration, with one minute interval
