The three lots at the northwest cor

The building to be erected will be
$50 by so feet. four stories high. and

to be that it must be beautiful in style

The house now standing on the site
will be moved off by Mr.. Giles and put
into rental condition before his de-
parture for Denver, which removal
was the reason of the sale.

During a recent tour in the west. L.
T. Cooper made visits of several
weeks in various cities in Kansas,
where thousands of people talked
with him and purchased his medi-
cine
His success was so phenomenal as
to cause universal comment both by
the public and press. There must be
a reason for this. Here is the reason
given in his own words by MIR. Cooper
when interviewed on the subject. He
said:
.'The immense numbers of people
who are calling on me here in the
west is not unusual l have had the
same experience for the past two years
wherever l have gone. The reason
is a simple one. 1t is because my
medicine puts the stomach into good
condition. This does not sound un-
usual, but it is in fact the key to
health. The stomach is the very foun-
dation of life. l attribute 10 per cent
of all sickness directly to the stom-
acf1.
Neither animals nor men can re-
main we'll with a poor digestive ap-
paratus. Few can be sick with di-
gestion in perfect condition. AS a mat
ter of fact, most men and women to-
day are half-sick. 1t IS because too
much food and too little exercise have
gradually forced the stomach into a
half-sick condition. My medicine gets
the stomach back where it was. and
is all that is necessary

stanch believers in Nj. Cooper's theo-
