Whatever may he said about the pub
lications 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 stav.
His splendid journal. WORD AND WoRKs,
is now entering it's tenth year, largely
increased in circulation and in every
way improved, until it deserves the ma
tional reputation it has attained. His
1897 Almanac is now ready and is bv
far the finest and most beautiful he has
vet ISSUED. 1t contains 1OS pages, in
cluding cover artistically printed in col
ors, 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 12
original, beautifully engraved star maps,
with explanatory chapters, which could
not be bought for less than FIVE dollars
in any work en- astronomy. AS Mr..
Hicks has SO correctly and faithfully
warned the public of coming droughts,
floods, cold waves, blizzards. tornadoes
and cy yclones, in the years passed, aside
from the other varied and splendid feat
ures of his paper and Almanac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once for
1897. The Almanac is only 25cts. a
copy. Word AND Works il one dollar
a year, and q copy of the fine Almanac
goes as a premium with every yearly
subscription. Write to WORD AND
