Our Publishing Work

By Editor

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Psalm 68:11.
THE fourth edition of Liberty has just been printed, and all orders we have been holding for a short time while our printing plant was being moved, will be promptly filled.
Two lady school-teachers have ordered 2,000 copies of the July number of Life and Health to sell. On this order they will make $50 profit, and if they do as well as one of our fifteen-year-old girls, they will make this profit in twenty days, working only about four or five hours a day. Boys and girls can and do sell Life and Health with remarkable success. We want 100 new agents on the July and August numbers—“the hot weather issues.”
THE innate desire of the young mind is for something new,—perhaps in adventure, or by a study of the sciences, either by a personal experience or from the reading of the various authors. Too often this desire is satisfied by the perusal of a low class of literature, the effects of which may last throughout a lifetime. As a book of travel or adventure, we recommend for boys and girls the book “How a Little Girl Went to Africa.” It is a book of travel, written in simple language by a child, yet of sufficient interest to hold the attention of the adult. The excitement incident to the preparation for, and taking of, an ocean voyage, will arouse an interest in the young mind. The descriptions and illustrations of native life in distant lands enlist and hold the attention of both old and young. The price of the book is $1, post-paid. If, by its perusal, the young mind is filled with a missionary spirit, to aid in the spread of the gospel in foreign lands, whether by personal effort abroad or by work at home, the price of the book will have been well invested.
GET the July number of Life and Health and read the article by Dr. Rossiter on “The Feeding of Infants,” and you will appreciate the importance of getting this number of the journal into the homes of babies, where there is much need of the information contained in this article. The entire contents of this issue are especially good for the hot season, and the general public needs it, and will procure it wherever the journal is properly presented. Note the following subjects treated in this number: Children and Their Care, The Feeding of Infants, Divine Healing, Acute Articular Rheumatism, Organized Poison, The Way of the Transgressor, A City without Crime, An Object-Lesson, The Fly and the Tubercle Bacillus, Mosquitoes and Flies, Hot Weather Care of Infants and Young Children, What’s in a Name? Nurse Inspection of New York City Schools, How the Chinaman Takes His Rice, Arrival in India, The Sanitarium in South Africa, Mission Notes, A Few Hints, Bread without Yeast, Mothers and Mothers, Our Bodies, Unofficial Reports, Do You Eat Meat? The President’s Message, Report of the Reynolds Commission, What of It? Sugar Lore, etc. The annual subscription price of Life and Health is only 50 cents. Five cents for single copy; 25 or more copies to one address, 2½ cents a copy. Send for circular, and special rates to agents.

SOUVENIR EDITION

“Signs of the Times”

Containing Twenty-four Pages with Cover and Insert
IN view of the great demand for the first and second editions of the Special Earthquake Signs, six hundred and fifty thousand of which have been printed and sold, the publishers have decided to issue a third or Souvenir Edition, containing 24 pages with cover and insert, giving a complete story of this terrible calamity by eyewitnesses, illustrated by accurate engravings.
This is to be an entirely new edition containing new illustrations, new articles, new make-up, etc., and taken as a whole will be much more interesting, striking, and attractive than either the first or the second edition.
The following are some of the good things this Souvenir Edition will contain:—
1. Between thirty and forty of the finest views obtainable of the earthquake, fire, and ruins.
2. Seismographic records taken in Oakland and Napa, Cal., Albany, N. Y., and the Imperial Observatory, Austria. These records show that the whole world was shaken by this great earthquake. No other paper shows these illustrations grouped as we have them.
3. A fine relief map of San Francisco in colors, showing the fire-swept district.
4. A map of California showing the part especially affected by the earthquake.
5. A comparative diagram of the great fires of Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, and San Francisco.
6. Two beautiful and striking views of the burning of San Francisco, printed in colors. One of these is a panoramic scene, 6 x 18 inches, showing the whole city with about one half of it in flames. The privilege of using this copyrighted illustration in the Souvenir Edition was purchased at considerable expense, and is well worth the price of the paper.
7. A panoramic view, 6 x 18 inches, showing the ruins of San Francisco after the earthquake and fire. Views similar to this have been sold for twenty-five and fifty cents each.
8. And beside all this, and much more of like nature, this number will tell the meaning of these things in the light of prophecy, and point the reader to the only sure and abiding refuge. Other papers have told the story fairly well, but The Signs of the Times is the only paper that attempts to show the meaning of these things in the light of “the more sure word of prophecy,” and to point the reader to something more substantial and enduring.
The expense of getting out this twenty-four-page number with colored engravings is much more than the regular issues, and it is worth much more.
The retail price will be 10 cents a copy.
In lots less than 1,000, 6 cents a copy.
1,000 copies, or more, 5 cents a copy.
This Souvenir Edition will take the place of the regular issue of June 27, but will be printed, ready to fill orders, by June 18.
