WAS ONCE THE OCEAN.
Proof Conclusive That the Waters OF
the Pacific al One Time Extended
az Far as Salt Lake.

A recent dispatch from Salt Lake City
Utah, states that Mrs, B. r. House,
former Cincinnati woman, has made
discovery which proves conclusively to
scientists, according to the dispatch, that
Salt lake was once a part Of the Pacific
ocean, states the Cincinnati Times-Star.
For years geologists and learned SCI
entists, including experts from the
Smithsonian institution, have made
vain efforts to discover some convincing
proof that the inland sea was once a
part Of the great Pacific. Parties Of sci-
entists have lived on and travelled the
shores Of the big lake, but none Of their
discoveries was ever accepted as positive
proof The discovery made by Mrs.
House which is accepted by many as
proof positive is a piece Of sponge-like
coral. but contains salt sea periwinklesg
which a number Of scientists claim are
only found in ocean coral.
Diligent search was made for other
specimens, but the big coral rock, yell
low with age. was all that could be found.
Prof. Henshaw, geologist at the Walnut
Hills school, said that while the discov-
cry was a great one and while it was
the most convincing proof yet estab-
lished, he would not accept ii as positive,
although he had never heard Of any like
specimens being found except in the
ocean. O. w. Martin, professor Of
geology at Hughes high school. said
THE discovery is indeed the most i'm
portant one ever made In that region
and will undoubtedly interest scientists
and geologists all over the world Many
efforts have been made to establish some
positive proof that Salt lake was once
part of the Pacific but they have all
failed. While the discovery. as reported,
would afford the inosf positive proof we
have ever had. could not accept It as
conclusive proof The question of
whether the Salt lake was once a port Of
the ocean has been agitating scientists
and geologists for many years, and this
recent discovery will no doubt be Of
great interest to all of them Mrs
House Is the wife Of the chief engineer
Of the Western Pacific surveying corps.
NJ F Guyer. the professor Of geology
at the Cincinnati university, when
asked his opinion on Mrs. Houses dis
covery, said: while II Is very strong
evidence and probably the most impor-
tant discovery to that end that has ever
been made, do not think 1t win be gen
orally accepted as positive proof that the
inland sea was once part Of the Pacific
ocean. One thing is certain-it is the
first piece of coral ever discovered in /
an inland body Of water hat contained
periwinkles. ard II is simost conclusive
evidence that Great Salt lake was once
a part OF the Pacific ocean"

the only natural treatment for the
cure Of these troubles Breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, the air that

identical with that on the mountains,
where il is laden with healing and
health-giving balsams. 1t searches
out and kills disease.germs in the most
remote and minute air cells Of the
head, throat and lungs; it soothes and
heals an irritation Of the mucus men,

Hyomei is prescribed by physicians
generally. Many Of them use it them
selves to break up a cold and prevent
pneumonia
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
Of neat inhaler that is so small and
convenient that it can be carried in
the pocket or purse, a medicine drop
per and bottle Of Hyomei. This costs
but ST. and it will cure any ordinary
case Of catarrh. In chronic and deep
seated conditions, longer use is neces-
sary and extra bottles Of Hyomei can
be obtained for 4Oc., making il a most
economical treatment for this disease.
The Peoples Drug Store has SO much
confidence in the power Of Hyomei to
cure catarrh and other diseases Of the
throat and lungs that they sell it under
their personal guarantee to refund the
money TO any purchaser rim case 1t fails
to give satisfaction. They take ali
the risk themselves. and Hyomei costs
you absolutely nothing unless it does
you good.
