THE WORKERS

LIFE AND HEALTH SERIES is the name of a series of the large-page-style tracts, dealing principally with the temperance question. Each of these tracts is written by a physician who has made a study of the subject treated. The tracts, therefore, are high-class matter, and deserve a large circulation. The series, so far, contains five tracts on the following topics: No. 1, “Tobacco Using,” 1½ cents; No. 2, “The Tobacco Habit,” 5 cents; No. 3, “Diet and Endurance,” 5 cents; No. 4, “Chronic Constipation,” 1½ cents; No. 5, “Medical Use of Alcohol,” ¼ cent.

“THE last number is all right; isn’t it a beauty?” writes an aged Life and Health agent from Iowa. “My courage is good, and I am really satisfied with my work. I made seven exhibitions, and sold six copies, also three ‘Christ’s Object Lessons,’ to help the educational work in the South. A sale of $3.60 worth of literature in a little more than one hour is not so bad for an old lady seventy-one years old. It is God that does it, and he shall have the glory.”

No. 104 of the Bible Students’ Library tract series, has been republished in response to repeated requests. The tract contains 16 pages. Price, 1 cent.

A COMMON-SENSE health cook-book is as essential in the work of the housekeeper as any other household commodity. “A Friend in the Kitchen” will prove to be a friend indeed to every woman who has to do cooking. The recipes are simple, practical, and varied. It is vegetarian throughout, and is designed to educate the people away from a flesh diet. In addition to its twenty general departments, containing 400 choice and thoroughly tested recipes, it contains much matter not found in the ordinary cook-books, such as “substitutes” for hurtful meats, “How to Can Fruit,” “How to Make Unfermented Bread and Wine,” “How to Become a Vegetarian,” “Rules for Dyspeptics,” “Rules for Health.” All the instruction on “How to Can Fruit” is worth many times the price of the book. Just at this season of the year, it will be of special value in general fruit preserving. Waterproof paper, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.

“Was out yesterday, the only day this since arriving here,” writes a young man, giving from Ohio, “and sold 66 copies of Life and Health in five hours. I would go oftener, but we are doing heavy farm work, and I can not get away. Will go again next week.”

CONFERENCE presidents and tract society secretaries would do well to send for our neat little order blank—just prepared—for securing Liberty subscriptions and selling single copies to large audiences. Just the thing for use on religious liberty day at the camp-meeting. The kind used by some of our leading religious liberty workers. They are free to our agents.

The above illustration is a reduced facsimile of the Review and Herald new prophetic chart, 46 x 72 inches in size: printed in five colors, on a fine quality of muslin, that will stand folding as many times as may be desired without hurting the appearance of the chart. It can be folded to show each set of symbols separately, or so as to compare similar chapters—as Daniel 2, 7, and 8. All the symbols are large enough to be seen from any part of an ordinary lecture hall or tent. Price of the large chart, post-paid, $2.75.

WE have printed a supply of miniature prophetic charts, the exact size of this illustration, for convenience in giving individual Bible readings or personal study. These miniature charts may be pasted in one’s Bible for convenience. They are printed on tough, glazed paper, in one color. They make a very neat, plain, attractive chart for individual use. Price of these miniature charts, 5 cents each, post-paid.

PROF. B. L. HOWE, principal of the Central California Intermediate School, Armona, Cal., has just sent us a list of twelve yearly subscriptions for the Protestant Magazine. He says: “I think the publication of the Protestant Magazine is a heaven-born idea, and I am sure that it will have Heaven’s blessing in its mission. I expect to send you more orders soon. Our colleges and other schools have shown a good interest in the circulation of this timely quarterly.

“DRESSING FOR HEALTH,” by Dr. Maria Edwards, is a nicely illustrated pamphlet. It is the outgrowth of a series of practical talks on treatment of common diseases, given by the author at various public gatherings. It will be found to be very practical, and costs only 5 cents. Order all supplies through the State conference tract society.

BROTHER J. F. BAHLER, one of our blind agents, is planning to sell an edition of 30,000 copies of Life and Health in the near future. He sells magazines purely on their merits.

“I WONDER how many of our people know what ‘Early Writings’ contains that is really essential in establishing the principles of the message and laying the foundation of faith in it? I think it is the best book we have to establish faith and to impart a clear understanding of the beginning of the proclamation of the third angel’s message. It ought to be constantly studied by all of our members. It ought to be perfectly familiar to our workers. It ought to be kept constantly before our young people.” The preceding statement was recently made by one of our leading ministers and General Conference officers, as he was inquiring about the circulation of this book. The pocket edition of this book is very convenient for the workers to carry. Price, $1.25, leather binding. The paper edition keeps it within the reach of all. Price, 35 cents. The regular cloth edition is only 75 cents.
