all vegetables are grown. South
California, west of the Slena
Madre mountains. is one of the
richest and most famous regions
of the world. Orange groves IN
these choice localities are worth
$1,000 per are. Among the
minerals found here are gold, cop
per, lead. quicksilver, iron and tin.
Gold is naturally the most inn
portant since California is known
as the Golden state.
Los Angeles is second only 10
San Francisco in size and is a fine
modern city with magnificent
buildings, principally hotels, huge
stores and all that goes TO make a
great city. 1t is the center OF a
wonderful railroad and trolly trat-
fic. Electric roads make a net
work over the whole land, connect
ing scores of towns and cities.
These southern cities are famous
for their beautiful homes and
their splendid avenues. The wide
streets are paved and oiled to
keen down the dust and shaded
by great trees. The homes are
surrounded by beautiful lawns
and shaded by vines and trees
adorned with the richest Of flow
ers. California might have been
called the home of flowers for
they bloom profusely all the year.
California affords good oppor-
tunities for education Its school
system consists of the following
elements; first the public schools
with IA, 900 teachers and about 30
children for each teacher; second
the normal school where teachers
are trained; third, special state
school; fourth, private supported
by churches; fifth, Sectarian Col
lege; sixth, universities. The
public schools furnish all books
and supplies. Our laws are ex-
ceeding generous to all small and
remote schools of the state. No
matter how small and little the
tax it pays, all are treated alike.
The grammar school teachers are
paid a salary ranging from $95.
to $4,000 per month.
We have visited the beach
along the ocean for fifty miles and
seen the fishermen catching fish
by the car lead.
The hobby of large per cent
of the people here is bathing in
the ocean, and at one Of these
beeches, called Venice, there
were at least 700 men, women,
and children in bathing. The
ocean and its inhabitants are I'M
describable.
We took short trip out on the
ocean in a glass bottom boat. You
bet this was some show, the bot
tom of the ocean and all kinds of
fish and sea animals. The sea

years; great state. commanding
the central portion of the Pacific
coast of North America, a state

1t Hits the
Spot!


Many people do not realize
what simple constipation or
costive bowels will lead to if
not corrected. You wonder
why so many women and men
are sallow, have no appetite,
are dizzy, suffer with constant
head pains, heavy feeling af-
ter eating, on taking slight
exercise have futtering heart
and tired, run down feelings,
80 per cent of liver and stom-
ach troubles come from costive
bowels, constipation leads to
that most terrible condition,
NERVOUS INDIGESTION.
The bowels must have re-
stored to them their tone, and
regularity established and this
must be done, not by pills, calo-
mel and other laxatives, that
will only last for a time but
REGULARITY must be estab-
lished and DIGESTION RE-
STORED by a chemical COM
bination of drugs that will
give a perfect digestion. WE
HAVE THAT PRESCRIP-
TION and make this proposal.
If you suffer from NER-
VOUS INDIGESTION due to
faulty digestion and CON-
STIPATION, come to our
store, buy a bottle of CINOT,
try it, and if your constipa-
ton, headache, loss Of appe-
tite, heart flutter, dizziness,
do not disappear and you are
not improved, come back to us
and we will REFUND YOUR
MONEY. Take a common
sense view of our proposition.
Could we afford to make this
offer if we were not sure that
our claims we're not right'

The MISSING Remnant.

A certain Lancashire town boasts
full brass band, including big drum.
The drummer, according to the Tat
Ter, is about five feet high and rather
deaf, but he thinks nobly Of his Inn
portance to the band. When the band
parades, it always takes the same
course through the main streets; but
the other day the leader, for some
purpose known only to himself, turned
down a bystreet. The little drummer
did not see what was happening in
front of him, for to compensate for his
lack OF heighn he holds his drum high
before him So with his gaze con-
centrated on his music he banged
away, and marched straight ahead, as
usual. About five minutes afterward
he finished his part, and, hearing no
other instruments, he stopped. Part
Of the crowd had accompanied him,
and they gave him cheer. But he
was Ill at ease. He showed his drum
to one side and gazed ahead; then on
the other, and did likewise. But he saw
no band. Then, in uneasy astonish-
ment, he turned to the smiling by
ISLANDERS and inquired: "Heigh! Has
ony O. you seen the remnant O. band
anywheres about 'ere?"
