By Editor

ENLARGED AND IMPROVED

Sixteen Pages Added. More and Better Illustrations. New Contributors of National Reputation. New Departments. Present Features Strengthened. Every Number a Special. Inducements to New Subscribers. Attractive Terms to Agents.

A LOOK AHEAD

Life and health are the best gifts of God, and we desire to make Life and Health the agency for teaching as many people as possible how to receive these gifts. In order to do this, two demands must be met: the magazine must be filled with the right kind of matter, and must be attractive in appearance; the possibility of sales and profits must be such as to open the way for our coworkers in the field to have substantial returns for their labors. We think we have met both of these demands.

Beginning with the October number, Life and Health will be enlarged one-half. This increase in the number of pages makes possible several important changes in the magazine which will very greatly enhance its value and usefulness.

The plans for the improvement of the magazine embrace—

1. NEW DEPARTMENTS

There will be a department called The Home Acre, which will contain helpful hints to owners of small gardens; it will also encourage the “back-to-the-land” idea for those who are still living in the crowded cities.

A department of Experiences will be devoted to useful hints from our readers, enabling all by this means of communication to pass on to others suggestions and discoveries which have aided them in housekeeping, cooking, treatment of the sick, home-making, or any of the kindred subjects in which Life and Health readers are interested.

2. SPECIAL CONTRIBUTORS

Articles of timely importance from writers of national reputation who are recognized authorities on the topics treated, will be arranged for, and it is hoped that one or more of such articles will appear in each number. This feature will of itself be worth more than the price of the magazine.

3. EVERY NUMBER A SPECIAL

Every month some leading topic will be discussed. During the coming twelve months there will be a “Don’t Worry” number, one or more numbers devoted to Temperance, one to Colds and Pneumonia; Summer Diseases; Outings and Vacations; Typhoid and Malaria. The choice of subjects will be determined both by special demand and by the season of the year.

4. ILLUSTRATIONS

Good illustrations are always attractive, and the added pages, together with the increasing circulation, will enable Life and Health to put more expense into its art work. This will be one of the strong features of the magazine for 1908.

5. SPECIAL COVER DESIGNS

Every month a new and attractive cover design will be used. This will give each issue a distinctive appearance.

When the September Temperance Number was issued, the price per single copy was made ten cents. The demand for 35,000 copies of this issue showed that the public believed Life and Health worth the money. It has since been decided permanently to increase the number of pages to forty-eight, and to make the price per single copy ten cents.

Below is given full information regarding new prices and terms to agents. It is confidently believed that any person of ordinary ability can sell this magazine regularly, and make a good living—better, in fact, than can be made by persons who are not experts in some trade.

Men, women, and children are offered an occupation at which those with no previous experience have earned an average of $3 to $5 a day.

Fuller particulars will be given to those who make inquiry, and a plan will be presented which will enable one to be independent, make good wages at light, easy work, and at the same time have the satisfaction of knowing that he is doing good and is bestowing a favor on the people to whom the magazine is sold. Let us tell you about it.

Prices and Terms to Agents
