Tlie Other Side of the Belief that Maga
zines Take All the Advertising They Can
Get.
The people who read newspapers and
magazines have, as a rule, a belief that
publishers have no conscience about
loading up their periodicals with adver
tisements at the cost of reading matter.
Yet occasionally some proof comes to
the surface that publishers have some
scruples in this respect. The Ladie s
Home Journal, for example, will accept
just so many columns of advertisements
and no more. This propotion, for in
stance, is 70 columns of advertisements
as against 122 columns of reading mat

Of the Georgia Industrial Home lor
tute Children.
Two years ago, February 22d, 1899,
Rev. W. E. Mumford, Founder, opened
the doors of “Faith Cottage, Geoigia
industrial Home, live miles north of
Macon, in this state. The specific ob
ject of the Home is the salvation of the
neglected, abandoned and outcast chil
dren of destitute and disreputable
white parents.* It is non-sectarian and
non-s.ectional. It is now in possession
of 200 acres of land. Over $8,000 have
been expended in the purchase of the
farm and improvemeD ts thereon. There
are now six nice building besides the
outbuildings and barns.
The Home started with three chil

eighty of whom are now its happy and
promising inmates. These children are
from over forty counties, in Georgian
Every leading city in this state is rep

founded in Georgia for the specific class
itr proposes to reach. It is a formatory,
taking these children from the slums pf
city and country between the ages of 6
and 15. when habits and character, are
forming, and turning the course of their
lives into channels of self-respect and
self-support. It is a Home, not a pris-r
on—a Preventatory—not a Reformato
ry. It proposes the rescue of helpess
innocence from depraved, vicious and
immoral surroundings. It is support
ed entirely by private benevolence,
through the efforts of its Founder. It
is regularly chartered under the laws
of Georgia, and is Highly endorsed by
press and pulpit* as well as by the Fra
ternities, and all the executive officers
of the state.
There is an honorable Board .of ■: Di

ident is responsible. The Founder and
Board of Directors call upon the peo
