Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev. Irl r. Hicks by
those who do not fully 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 in.
creased 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 beauti-
full he has yet issued. 1t contains
lO8 pages, including cover artistically
painted 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 series Of IL
original, beautifully engraved star
maps, with explanatory chapters,
which could not be bought for less
than five dollars in any work on
astronomy. As Mr.. Hicks has so
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 subscribe at
once for 1897. The Almanac is only
25 cts. copy. Word AND WORK. IS
one dollar a year, and copy of the
fine Almanac goes as premium
with every yearly subscription.

It is only few years ago since the Seattle
Brewing and Mailing Co.'S Rainier" Beer
was first placed on the market, and through
its excellence soon became general favorite.
Another brand-"Olympic"--ha lately been
added, and with Rainier they make good
pair to draw to. Both are the product of the
very best materials, and being manufactured
after the most approved methods, enables the
Seattle Brewin" and Mailing Co. to offer to
the public a superior article of Bottled Lager
Beer, combining the most palatable qualities
OF q refreshing drink with the invigorating
and wholesome properties of the best malt
extracts, thus presenting desirable beverage
alike to inyalids and healthy persons.
Numerous cheap goods are offered to at
tract custom, but their very price brands
them with the stamp of interiority. They
must of necessity be made of doubtful mate
rial and In consequence OF inferior quality,
their consumption may even be deleterious
to health.

having a first-class beer on draught the Raj
