all. No salt*. no nausea nor the
•lightest interference with your
eating work or pleasure. Next

and you are feeling fine with a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat
what you please—no danger.

I BUYS
OUT COHEN’S
One of City’s Best
Locations Changes
Hands Today
Sale of the !. Cohen Dry Goods
store. Eleventh and Elizabeth streets
to G. C. Green proprietor of the I
Universal Dress Shop w as announc-j
cd here today.
The Cohen store occupies one of I
the best locations in the city and
has a large stock of Christmas goods j
on hand at present.
Green obtains the entire stock of |
the concern which he intends to con-
solidate with his and put on a large
Christmas sale.
The special Christmas sale start-
ed today and the new proprietor
hope* to clean a large portion of the
store’s shelves preparatory to remod-
eling the Cohen store after the holi-
days.
Green obtained Cohen's l*-a>e on 1
the choice location. It has three *
years to run.
This purchase and move marks the
fifth successive expansion of Mr.
Green since starting in business j
here five years ago in a small room j
at Twelfth and Adams streets now-
included in the space occupied by
the Sommers Furniture company.
The following year his trade had
increased to such an extent that he
felt justified in removing to larger
and better quarters at Twelfth and
Washington a site now occupied by
the Manautou store.
The company's expansion then en-
abled Mr. Green to take up quarters
at the store room now occupied by
Alamo Clothing Co. then to the
present location of the Universal
Dress Shop 629 Eleventh street.
Each move made by the concern
has been a progressive one to larger
quarters and increased stock. Mr.
Green’s policy has been one of qual-
ity material for the lowest possible
price.
*'I plan to continue expanding. The
new atore will be a high class dry-
gods and clothing concern handling
quality products at the best Possible
prices*' Green stated Tuesday morn-
ing.
The two stores. Cohen's stand and
the Universal Dress Shop will be
consolidated giving the concern a
wide range of merchandise. Green
said.
The ( ohen location will be remod-
eled after the Christmas holidays
and modern fixtures and methods
will be installed it wa* said.

ference”

nounced officially that 50000 had
volunteered and or these 30000
v»ere accepted and incorporated into

been taken by Bolivia. The war min-
ister said that Bolivian forces had
neither attacked nor occupied any of
the forts named and therefore the

tured them.
