Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev Irl R Hicks by
those who do not fuliy understand the
facts there is no denying the truth
that his paper and Almanac have come
to stay His splendid journal Word
and Works is now entering its tenth
year largely increased in circulation
and in every way improved until it
deserves the national reputation it has
attained His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by far the finest and most
beautiful he has yet issued It con
tains 108 pages including cover artist
ically printed in colors and is filled
from back to back with just what is
wanted in every shop office and home
in America One feature of the
Almanac for 1897 is a series of 12
original beautifully engraved star
maps with explanatory chapters
which could not be bought for less
thanfive dollars in anyjwork on astron
omy As Air Hicks has correctly and
faithfully warned the public of coming
droughts floods cold waves blizzards
tornadoes and cyclones in the years
passed aside from the other varied
and -splendid features of his paper and
Almanac these considerations alone
should prompt every family to sub
scribe at once for 1897 The Almanac
is only 25cts a copy Word and
Works is one dollar a year and a copy
of the line Almanac goes as a premium
with every yearly subscription Write

T want to add my ustlmony to the list ol
those that have used the Lightning Churn It
does all that is claimed for it you can churn
easily in one minute and get a large percentage
more butter than with the common churns I
never took the agenej for anything before but
so many of my neighbors wanted churns that I
ordered 30 and they are all gone I think in a
year every farmer will have a Lightning Churn
m fact they cant afford to be without one as
they make so much more butter and a good lit
tle bit of money can be made in every township
by selling these churns By writing to J V
Casey Co St Louis Mo you can get circulars
about the churn 3 A IIkadkk
How JDipper Saved the JPtwiiu
Father was sick and the mortgage on the farm
was coming due I saw in the christian Advo
cate whereJUiss A JI Fritz of Station A St
Louis Mo -would send a sample combination
dipper for IS two cent stamps imd I ordered one
I saw that the dipser could be used as a frrnt jar
filler a plain -dipper a line strainer a funnel a
stra ner funnel a si k room tvaraihig pan and a
pint measure These eight dilferent uses makes
rhe dipper such a necessary article that Iwent
to work with it and it sells at very near every
house and in four months I paid off the mortgage-
1 think 1 can clear as much as 200 per
month If you need work von can Jo well by
giving this a trial Miss A M Fritz Station A

Marry This Girl Somebody
I have been reading in your paper about
several men and women that have been very
successful selling eelf heating flat irous and 1
concluded I -would see what a girl could do I
have worked 12 daysjand have sold 151 irons and
have 218 teft after psving all expences Every
one is delighted with the iron and I sell one al
most every placeI shov it as people think they
cant aiford to be without one as they save so
much fuel and tinif and dont burn clothes
I know I can clear 5000 in a year How is that
for a eirl A Guaiwate
Splendid my girl splendid you are a true
American girl Anybody can get complete in
formation about the self heating iron by addres
sing J F Casey Uo St Louis Mo It seems
to be awmner as everyone selling it writes in
Its praise 3
A Great Chance to Make Money
I want to tell you of my wonderful success Be
inga poor girl and needing money badly I
tried the Dish Washer business and have clear
ed 200 even mouth It is more money than I
ever had before and I caufc help telling you
about for 1 believe any person can do as well as
I have if they only try Dish Washers sell on
sight every lady wants one The Mound City
Dish Washer Co St Louis Mo will give you
all necessary instructions so yon can begin
work at once The Dish Washer does splenoii
work you can washand dry the dishes m two
or three minutes witlfout putting your hands in

What ft Woman Can Bo
Last week I cleared after paying all expences
35585 the mouth previous 260 and have at the
same time attended to other duties I believe
any duergetic person can do equally as well as
I have had very little experience The Dish
Washer is just lovely aud every family wants
one which makes selling very easy 1 do no
canvassing People hear aboat the Dish Wash
er aud cowe or send for one It is strange that
a good cheap Dish Washer has never -before
been nut on tne narket The Mound Citv Dish
Wasber fdls this bill With it you can wash and
dry the dishes for a familj of ten in two min
utes without wetting jour hands As soon as
people see the washer work they want one You
can make more money and make ic quicker than
w ith any household article on the market I
feel convinced that any lady or gentleman can
make from 510 to u per day around home
You can set full particulars by addressing The
