Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash II with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-.
tirely greaseless). is much petter
than anything else you can use for
shampoOing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub il in. One or two tea.
spoonsful OF Mulsified will make an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
and cLanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out
easily and removes every particle Of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and 1t leaves 1t fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified co')anut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. II
is very cheap, and a few ounces Is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months. Be sure your drug.

PETE SAUER DROPS
 DAN bALSz IN LESS
 THAN HALF MINUTE
By Ed Harrington

Wrestling came back last night but | it disappeared 35 minutes after fair sprinkling of fans anted pasteboards to watch the grapplers perform. The program called for a finish catch as- catch-can match between Pete Sauer and Dan Balsz and two good pre- liminaries, and the fans were given one preliminary and a fast exhibition by Pete Sauer
 When Dan Bals- walked to the center of the ring and shook hands with Pete Sauer. he got his only hold on Sauer and 2s seconds later his shoulders were pinned to the mat They rested five minutes and came back for the second fall. Sauer re- peaing in three minutes and ten sec onds. Sauer got both falls with a body scissors and wrist lock.
 The fans were not given a chance to see how much Sauer has improved as the short time the men were in the ring Balsz was on the defensive hold. Balsz was dead from the shoulders down and Pete kept both shoulders close to the mat from the start. Dan made one feeble effort to reach Sauer. but Pete slipped gently under his reach and clasped his legs around the body-it was just case of how long and Balsz didn't keep the 1anS Tn suspense.
 Dan might have been good man in his day. but memories don't win wrestling bouts. especially with an opponent of Sauer's ability
 The first preliminary went the 90 minute limit with Slim Neil and Kid Husk working faithfully to stay the limit. Husk outweighed Neil and was the aggressor most of the time. but Neil had him in danger several times but his weight saved him. The boys were rough, using elbows and fists and almost the boots" It was c nice exhibition and pleased the fans.
 The second preliminary was not advance notices of the match stated TWO good preliminaries but number two was absent for some reason. Walter Regatta refereed the pre- liminary and Tip Gardner performed in the main event. Both got over good-better than the bouts
 The city cornish recently ruled that wrestling will be ancient history in Phoenix with last nights card as the grand finale. The fan who passed over S3.30 for the final scene will not
 be shedding any tears this morning the chance was there and was missed E-though it was not through any fault of Sauer, he went in to finish
 the match as quick as possible and
 he could not have made it any quicker without eliminating the opening | handshake.
