WHY THE DEAD SEA is SALT.

II has generally been supposed that
the saltness Of the waters OF the Dead
sea is due to the soil and rocks. 1t
PLANTATION is inadequate, and that the
most important cause is the atmos-
phere transportation OF salt from the
Mediterranean sea. According to a
writer la Harper's Weekly, the sup
position is that the winds blowing
from the Mediterranean would bring
rain. charged with salt. In proof OF
this it is stated that the proportion
Of chlorin to bromin is the same In
she Dead sea that 1t is in the Med
iterranean.

 Leaders

Team No. 4, Burt Thomas, Will Clay son and George S. Town, maze a sue cessful start in the bowling tournament last night, defeating the leaders, Bar ragar, Murphy and King, two out of three games.

Only l6 of the 50 games have been played and only one team, Putnam, Rock and Kinds, has played out half of it's games, and it is not impossible for that team to win.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
 Best Made

"In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best made for colds, 1" says Mrs. Cora Walker, of PoTterville, California. There is no doubt about it's being the rest. No other will cure a cold SO quickly. No other is SO sure a preventive of pneumonia. No other is SO pleasant and safe to take. These are good reasons why it should be preferred to any other. The fact is that few peo- pie aie satisfied with any other after having once used this remedy. For sale by Kelly Drug Go.
