The Peace Problem The Task of the Twentieth Century
Introduction by Andrew Carnegie. Cloth, net 75c.
Andrew Carnegie commends this book in no stinted terms. "I have read this book from beginning to end with interest and profit. I hope large editions will be circulated by our peace organizations among those we can interest in the noblest of all causes."
"Shows in most helpful fashion things one should strive for and guard against, things he should leave off doing, as well as others he should put on. It is a pleasant thing to read and it should be a potent factor in leading one to an appreciation of the real beauty and opportunity that lies 'west of fifty years.'"--_Chicago Tribune_.
The author shares with her gifted husband the power of both entertaining and influencing people with the pen. The remarkable interest awakened lately by Mrs. Hillis' articles in "The Outlook" has inspired this helpful book.
A new collection of Labrador yarns by the man who has succeeded in making isolated Labrador a part of the known world. Like its predecessor the new volume, while confined exclusively to facts in Dr. Grenfell's daily life, is full of romance, adventure and excitement. The _N. Y. Sun_ recently said: "Admirable as is the work that Dr. Grenfell is doing on the Labrador coast, the books he has written, make his readers almost wish he would give up some of it to write more."

Again Miss Laughlin has given us a master-piece in this story of present day life. Millet's picture, "The Gleaners," is the moving spirit of this little romance and, incidentally, one catches the inspiration the artist portrays in his immortal canvas. "The Gleaners" is issued in similar style to "Everybody's Lonesome," of which the _Toronto Globe_ said: "One of the successful writers of 'Good Cheer' stories for old and young is Miss Laughlin, and whoever reads one of her cheery little volumes desires more."
