Profit and Loss
in Man

By ALPHONSO A. HOPKINS, Ph.D.

The New Gospel of Patriotic, Economic, and Political Common Sense on the Temperance Question. The most up-to-date and powerful plea for Prohibition upon purely economic grounds that has been written in years. It is calm and dispassionate, and discusses the problem from the cold matter-of-fact standard of dollars and cents.

"The unique idea of placing temperance on a commercial basis, of considering the difference between the actual cash value of a man who drinks and the man who abstains, is intensely interesting and profitable. Prof. Hopkins claims that each young man twenty-one years of age represents a cost to society of two thousand dollars ($2,000). Will he pay—will he 'make good'—on the investment if he becomes a drinker? That's the question! In the United States are one and a half millions of drunkards—a stupendous loss of an investment aggregating over five billions of dollars ($5,000,000,000)."—Cumberland Presbyterian, Nashville, Tenn.

A WORKING
GRAMMAR

OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

By JAMES C. FERNALD, L.H.D.

Editor of the "Students' Standard Dictionary." Author
of "English Synonyms, Antonyms, and Prepositions,"
"Connectives of English Speech," Etc., Etc.

In this book Dr. Fernald has covered the field of English grammar in an immensely practical and entirely new and popular manner. Recognizing the large number of persons who have not the time to study ponderous definitions and arguments, he has prepared what is, in every sense, a very concise and useful "working grammar." Herein the business man, stenographer, clerk, lawyer, physician, clergyman, teacher—everyone who would refresh and enrich his knowledge of English—will find, in simple statement, a clear and lucid explanation of the principles of English grammar. All that makes the study of grammar a mystery is eliminated, and the whole book is constructed so as to enable any intelligent person to find his own way, by its teachings, to a correct working knowledge of English.
