FITz WAS LOCAL F,AvORITE.

In local sporting circles to-day, the exclusive theme of conversation is the result of the Fitzsimmons-M -Maher fight. With the exception of a few moneyless admirers, Peter had few champions in this city. The majority of the initiated who can tell the diff ference between a first and a third rate fighter picked Fitz to win. The only question was how long Maher could last. Perhaps less than $1OO changed hands on the result in this city.

Why go 1imping around with aoh- ing, puffed-up feet-feet so tired, chafed, sore and swoolen you can hardly get your shoes on or off? Why don't you get a 25-cent box of '"Tiz'' from the drug store now and gladden. your tortured feet2
 '.Tiz'' makes your feet glow with comfort; takes down swellings and draws the soreness and misery right out of feet that chafe, smart and burn. '.Tiz'' instantly stops pain in corns, calIouses and bunions. 'Tiz'' is glor- ious for tired, aching. sore feet. No more shoe tightness-no more foot torture.
