 EVOLUTION PROVING MINOR
 TALITY. By John o. Yeiser. The National Maga- zine Association, publishers, the Bee Building. Omaha, Neb.
 The author of Evolution Proving Im- mortality" John o. Yeiser, says of his book:
 while this volume Is a revision of I'm mortality Established Through Science" 50 much new matter has been added that this is really new book and deserves a new title to distinguish it from all earlier editions.
 '.This volume, like the one referred to, Is not a yelled argument for or against any particular church or any religious doctrine. but is primarily a scientific search among things known to science for physical evidences of immorranry utterly regarQleSS or the uOS1naS or any CnurCN. '"The editions mentioned under the other title were given such a cordial re- ception that it has caused the writer boundless qualification and made him feel that if so much satisfaction was af- forded the readers, 1t justified all the other careful study and thought neces- sary to revise and enlarge the work Perhaps the practice of law cultivates a tendency to question and analyze and may account for the pleasure of this work. Besides the rest one derives from leaving routine work compensates for the time taken.
 "Why should we labor all the time. or study works of gloom and disappoint- ment when we may absorb ourselves, deriving pleasure from that which is in- structive and elevating and hope inspir- ing?"
