school, history and philosophy of educa-
ton and school law and economy, are
the professional subjects. The English
studies are on literary types. drama, ora
ton, novel, later English poets and uses
CT literature in the common schools.
Physics and chemistry, geology or as
tronomy, are the sciences followed.
bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic,
and geometry are the mathematical sub
jects. Gymnastics and music are fea-
lures in the work of each class, and from
two to four periods week are spent by
every student in the gymnasium.
THE VALUE OF THE DIPLOMA
Already 800 students have graduated
from the Los Angeles Normal school,
and the graduating class in June this
year will number about sixty five
teachers. With the prominent motive
always in view, to turn out the best
possible teachers, it was deemed advis-
able two years ago to lengthen the nee
essary course of training from three to
four years In such an institution, with
such a severe and exacting curriculum,
it is not surprising that not over so per
cent Of the students finish the course.
The diploma Of the Normal school is
generally recognized as the best guar
antee thoroughly equipped teacher
can hold. 1t has now become practi :
cally legal license to teach. The di-
ploma entities the holder to a grammar

ty board OF education in the state. At
ter two years successful teaching, the
state board of education grants to the
holder of diploma a document of fur
ther endorsement, which together form
permanent certificate of qualification
TO teach in the state primary or gram
mar school In the state. Last year
there were in the Normal schools Of Cal
ifornia over 1900 students, of whom
nearly 300 graduates were sent out. The
state expended sS9,5O0 for the support
of these schools, or $75 for each student.
SOCIETIESsAND CLUBS
From the fact that so many Of the
homes and dwelling places Of the stu
dents are scattered over neighboring
towns and suburbs, the number Of So
cieties and clubs is not as great as one
might expect in such an institution, in
which there is a really remarkable dis
play of esprit de corps. Nevertheless
, the students are jealous in every move
ment which may rebound to the glory
of alma mater, which was well evil
denced by the splendid and artistic dis
play the school made on Floral day at
, the last Fiesta. Willing hands make
proud hearts, and the labor of both
teacher and student was rewarded on
that occasion by a generally admirable
triumph.
There is, of course, a fiourishing AL
umni association, whose members main
tain as close interest as possible with
the parent school and also endeavor to
keep track of their former associates.
The Webster club is, unfortunately
one would imagine-confined to the
male members of the school. 1t is prac-
tically a debating society and meets
once in every two weeks of term.
The Glee club is at present reduced to
double quartet of young ladies', but
music under the care and zeal of the
present directress will surely occupy a
prominent demand on the tastes of the
students, and undoubtedly the school
Will soon boast glee club of represen-
tative merit. A school orchestra has
lately been organized, which has al
ready rendered good account of itself.

is CATARRH A GERM DISEASE
New and Important Facts Concerning the
True Cause and Nature Of Catarrh

The public has been misinformed re-
garding the cause and true nature of
catarrh, and this popular error has led
to untold misery and suffering. Dur
ing the past two years it has been DEM
onstrated that catarrh is GERM
DISEASE.
When La Grippe" was on the crest of
the epidemic wave, the great patholo-
giStS of Europe were unanimous in de-
claring that 1T was due to a specific
germ, and ludicrous incident Of that
time was the efforts of noted physi-
| clan in Chicago, who tried to corral the
germs from a housetop with special
apparatus. Today the best authorities
on both sides of the Atlantic are agreed
that the ordinary form of catarrh is due
to a mild species of this La Grippe"
germ. When atmosphere and tecturic
| conditions are favorable to the rapid de-
velopment and propagation of the germ,
we have an exaggerated form of catarrh,
epidemic in character and called accord
ing to its severity, Influenza or La
Grippe. These are facts which the pub
lie should know, for it enables them to
treat intelligently conditions that do not
call for the services of a physician.
When the epidemic and inflammatory
varieties of catarrh subside, the lower
organisms or species of this germ may
continue to live and maintain the chron-
ic variety Of catarrh so universally
prevalent.
The ordinary catarrhal germ exists
in the air at all times and only needs
congenial soil to invite its develop
ment and propagation. A CONGENIAL.
SOIL is mucous membrane relaxed,
inf1amed. poorly nourished and lacking
the usual power of resistance. These
conditions are met mostly in people run
down from any cause that depresses the
systemic vitality. The microscope used
in these Investigations is German in
strument costing $500, and it is safe to
say that it Is the finest binocular mi
croscope to be found east of the
Rockies.
OUR SUCCESS IN CURING CA
TARRH is largely due to these superior
facilities and methods for in this insid-
ious disease we recognize foe worthy
of our best intelligence.

Symptoms Of Kidney Disease

The kidney is one of the hard work.
Ing organs of the body and is one Of
the earliest to wear out.
When disease attacks the kidneys
you have the following symptoms:
pains, heavy, dull. and constant in the
small of the back but the urine fur
nishes the best proof of kidney disease.
Do you get up at night to relieve the
bladder? Is the quantity of urine in
creased or diminished? Is it dark CIR
pale, and is the odor strong? Does it
deposit a thick, ropy sediment or a
brick dust sediment? Do your feet or
ankles swell at night? Is there any
swelling of the abdomen? The ex-
istence of any of these symptoms
should warn you that your kidneys are
wrong, and in such cases delays are ex-
tremely dangerous. The English and
German Specialists can cure you or
they won't accept one dollar of your
money.

Amonst the many and exceptional ed
ucational advantages that Los Angeles
has to offer to both the student and the
teacher, none can be more conspicuous
than those which the State Normal
school provides. Beautifully situated,
'splendidly equipped this is an institu-
ton Of which every Californian may well
feel proud. There are three State Nor
NAL schools in California today-at San
Jose, Los Angeles and Chico-and from
them have already graduated some 3400
teachers, the majority of whom are car
rying on the work Of education through
out the state. OF the progress and stand
ting of the local institution no better au-
thority can be quoted than Earl Barnes,
professor of education at Stanford uni
versity who a few months ago said:
1.-THE Los Angeles Normal school has
made the most rapid advance during the
last two years of any school in the state"
Today there are ass pupils in the school,
an increase Of 126 over the enrolment ef
last year.
The first building was begun in 1881,
and, though entirely remodelled now,
forms the front of the present building.

Symptoms of Catarrh of the Stomach
and Bowels
In this form of catarrh there is dimin-
ished or exaggerated appetite. burning
at the pit of the stomach-heart burn
sour or bitter eructations, dizziness, pal
pitation of the heart, hot flashes, great
distress after eating and gnawiny,
sinking, gone feeling when the stomach
is empty. Nervous dyspepsia comes on
and the patient gets irritable and cross.
The least attempt to do hard work
brings on a weak spell. and the patient
becomes exhausted. When the bowels
become involved we have constipation
or occasional diarrhoea added to the
symptoms already described.
These symptoms should not be neg
lected. The English and German EX-

The True Symptoms Of Catarrh

When the disease attacks the nose
and throat you have dryness and fever
in the lining membranes of these or
gans Sometimes breathing and swal-
lowing become painful, there is a head
ache, dizziness, and a feeling of general
distress After few days these symp-
toms subside and a copious discharge
from the membranes sets in.
This condition quickly runs into the
chronic variety, with constant hawking
and splitting of thin yellowish- white
matter, which is more abundant in the
morning. The disease extends from this
stage, and will invade every organ con-
tanning a mucous lining. The droppings
from the throat find their way into the
stomach, and we have GASTRIC CA
TARRH.
When the disease extends up the Eus-
tachian tubes to the ears we have roar
ing noises in the head, ringing in the
ears. buzzing sounds in the ears, and
disturbed hearing.

WORK HARD FOR BRYAN.
The Nebraska Delegation Issues a
Statement Strenuously Urging
His Endorsement.

st. Louis, July 2O.-SOme of the mem
bers of the Nebraska delegation.
among them Senator Allen, prepared
the following statement:
The Nebraska delegation is author
ity for Bryan. They know him well.
His life has been a fulhllment rather
than a promise We know his high
character and great fitness for the
great Office of president. He is our
neighbOr and we are not deceived in
him. If elected he will be the greatest
that has occupied the White House
since the days of Lincoln, and in his
broad and genuine sympathy for the
masses, he more nearly resembles Mr..
recall.
The nomination of a. third ticket
would be the exact equivalent of a
genuine Endorsement of Mckinley, the
single gold standard, an abOmina Bile
high tariff tax, continued gold bond is
sues, perpetual national debt, cruel
and heartless oppression for the west
for four years and possibly for all
time. If elected president, Mr.. Bryan
will know no Democrat, no Populist,
no Republican. There viii be no step
children in his political family. All
who have been with the great reform
forces in the fight will be on equal
footing He will be the peoples pres
ident. Nebraska is for Bryan
This enthusiastic statement coming
from the POpuhsts of Bryan's own
state attracted most attention The
Nebraska delegation is thoroughly or
sanized and is doing missionary work
among the middle of the road Popu-
lists. We want to show them" said
Senator Allen, where the middle of
the road is"
