Book Department Notes

By Editor

Our Book Department is crowded with orders, and reports an unusually large demand for some of its new publications. The first is

A Friend in the Kitchen

which was issued last year in Australia, and has already had a sale of 30,000 copies over there. In addition to being a most excellent cook-book, it contains much practical information about healthful living which will be appreciated by every housewife.

As an evidence of the demand for such a book, we are informed that out of 1,250 circulars sent out, over two hundred orders were received. The Department believes that agents will be prompt to recognize in this volume an easy-selling book for the holiday trade. Price is only 60 cents.

Another booklet along the same line, but covering a different field, is

The Natural Food of Man

Its author gives only such recipes as contain no meat, milk, butter nor eggs—in fact, no animal products whatever. However, the student of this modest volume will find, on testing its generous list of recipes, that they are not only healthful but extremely palatable as well.

Its first part is devoted to a Biblical treatise on the subject of "Man's Primitive and Best Diet," and is easily the best presentation of the Bible argument on this great question ever published.

There has been more matter furnished for this pamphlet than was at first anticipated—it will contain nearly one hundred pages instead of sixty—but the original price will be adhered to, although there may be a little delay in date of publication.

At this writing—October 20—nearly a thousand copies have been ordered, although date of publication is yet two weeks future.

The cover is a heavy antique paper, on which is printed an original design in two colors. Price, 25 cents; discount in quantities and to the trade.

Pagan Counterfeits

In the Christian Church

This pamphlet has been recently published for the author, Mr. C. A. S. Temple, who is a Seventh-day Presbyterian. It treats upon the traces of Pagan and Papal doctrine still to be found in the Protestant churches.

It contains about 200 pages; price, 25 cents per copy.

Sure Word of Prophecy

For several months this valuable pamphlet has been out of print, but the large and continued demand for a brief exposition of the Book of Daniel has made it necessary to issue another edition. Price, 10 cents.

Circulars and Catalogs

The Book Department will be delighted to send its 12-page circular entitled "New Things," its 72-page "Fall Catalog," or its 40-page "Twentieth Century Bible Catalog" free of charge to those interested in its literature.
