Birthday of a Great Work.
George Washington’s birthday
occurs Monday next, the 22d-On
this day, five years ago, The
Georgia Industrial Home, for un
foitunate children, five miles
from Macon, opened the doors of
its first cottage, (Faith Cottage)
with three children. The Home
had no capital stock save the faith
of its founder in God and human¬
ity, and since that time it has
cared for over two hundred chil¬
dren, and now has one hundred
and fifty under its protection.
These child len came from more
than forty counties in the Stateof
Georgia, and this great home
stands between these little ones
and destruction. It is, tcday'the
most remarkable, as well as the
most pathetic charity in the
State of Georgia. It, now re¬
quires an expenditure of nearly
§10,000 a year to pay it's current
expenses. Its miraculous suc¬
cess is a credit to our common
humanity and expresses the faith
of its founder, Rev. W. E. Mum
ford. It is still struggling finan¬
cially and stands in actual need
of const :nt help. It has been
endorsed by every fraternity
and every church as well as all
classes of people in the state. Its
founder Rev. W. E. Mumford has
issued the following pathetic ap¬
peal which should reach all
hearts, and it is to be hoped that
many people in Georgia will, at
least, find it in their hearts to
send to him by postoffice order
at Macon, Ga., on next Monday
the sum of $1 as a birthday of¬
fering for each year this won¬
derful charity has existed,
To all friends of Humanity:
The miraculous success of the
Georgia Industrial Home, for the
orphans of living parents is at
once a credit to our common hu¬
manity. Beginning its work
five years ago, on simple faith in
God through human hearts and
hands, it has touched the lives of
more than two hundred children
and now has a family of more
than one hundred and fifty and
with its farm, stock and furnish¬
ings, is in posession of a plant
representing an expenditure of
more than §30.000. Its success
is its highest and best recom¬
mendation.
Our struggle for financial sup
port is necessarily pathetic as
we have no state or denomina¬
tional aid.
The Home is five years old
Monday, February 22, 1904, and
we appealYo all the friends of in¬
nocent and friendless childhood
in the state of Georgia to help
lift us out of debt. Will you not
be one who will follow the best
impulses of the human heart and
extend a hand of help on this
fifth birthday of the sweetest
and most marvelous charity in
Georgia to the amount of five dol¬
lars at least? The children we
are reaching and helping are ab¬
solutely without hope from any
other source.
Thanking you in advance for
your interest in this matter, I
i-emain,
Yours for Humanity,
;W. E. Mumford.
An Early Riser.
A strong, healthy, active consti
tution depends largely on the con¬
dition of the liver. The famous
little pills known as DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers not only
cleanse but they strengthen the
action of the liver and rebuild
the tissues supporting the organ.
Little Early Risers are easy to
q,ct, they never gripe and yet
they are absolutely certain to
produce results that are satisfac¬
tory in all cases. Sold by Lew¬

Lettuce Prevents Smallpox,
Don’t forget that lettuce is a
preventive of smallpox
So far as it is possible for a
human being to be protected
lrom ©atching smallpox, lettuce
is a protection.
No need for vaccination what¬
ever. Any person who eats a
small quantity of lettuce twice a
day, morning and evening, is as
well protected against'smallpox
as it is possible for any one to
be.
To be sure, one ought to be
clean, ought to live in ventilated
rooms, and avoid dirt of all sorts.
Also avoid contact with people
who have smallpox. Foolish ex¬
posure to the contagion of small¬
pox is not to be thought of. But
there is no need for vaccination,
Go calmly on about ycur busi¬
ness. Provide a small quantity
of lettuce morning and evening,
and you can feel sure that you
have protected yourself and your
family in the best possible way
against small pox.
Lettuce is one of the oldest
vegetable remedies known to the
medical profession. Long be¬
fore it was used as food it was
used as medicine. Many times
it has been claimed that it has
magical or miraculous powers to
prevent contagious disease. We
believe this is carrying matters
too Mr. But lettuce does furnish
the system exactly what is need -
ed to protect it against the poi¬
son of sma’lpox.
We defy any one to produce a
case of smallpox that has been
contracted hy any person who
made daily use of lettuce as a
food. If there is any such case
on record, we would be glad to
hear of it.—Medical Talk.
Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. It
is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous dis¬
eases that medical men have to
contend with can be prevented
by the use of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al¬
ways results from a cold or from
an attack of influenza (grip) and
it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tenden¬
cy of these diseases toward pneu¬
monia, This has been fully prov¬
en in many thousands of eases
in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence
of colds and grip in recent years
and can be relied upon with im¬
plicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from a slight cold
when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered
that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Cham¬
berlains Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. It al¬
ways cures. For sale by Lewis
