Following are .some of the expres- | sions heard at the pastors’ meeting: What Pastors Say. Dr. E. R. Carter said: “My people’s minds are so full of this project, that I can’t get anything else done until this is settled." "Our church Is a unit on this prop osition," said Dr. H. H. Proctor, "and we are going to make that unit a big one.” "There’s a surging spirit in this movement." said the Rev. L. H. King. “It must succeed. We are giving it right of way over all else." Dr. Farrel insisted that it was hear ing of the project a year ago that made him want to come to Atlanta. "Our folks will be there,” he prom ised. "We will have a huge delegation,” added the Rev. E. H. Oliver. It was announced by the Rev. P. James Bryant that the Rev. Dr. Mo- sea* of Knoxville, would be at the Au ditorium Sunday night. He also had something to say about the intense Interest with which the various con gregations were watching the move ment “All pastors who expect to remain in Atlanta," he suggested, "won’t dare do less than bring their people to the Auditorium Sunday night.” Institution Is Vital Need. So far as the need for the Y. M C. | A. is concerned, there is no doubt that the negro churchmen of the city, and most of the people, are wholly con vinced that the institution is the most vital need of the negro people of At lanta just now’. Keeps complexions clear and healthy W HEN you wash your face do you realize that it is not enough to remove the dirt -that your skin needs a soothing, healing influence to keep your com plexion fresh and free from blemish? <| Ordinary toilet soaps do not assert this influence. Many of them contain free alkali which tends to dry the skin and destroy its delicate texture. Even the best of such soaps can only clean, they cannot heal and protect the skin. Resinol Soap, besides being an abso lutely pure toilet soap, contains the same soothing, healing, antiseptic balsams as Resinol Ointment, the value of which in the treatment of skin affections is known throughout the medical profession. That ia why Resinol Soap does for the skin what cos metics are supposed to do—it insures not only a clean skin, but a healthy skin, and a fair, clear complexion. | —— I s Resinol So*p and RcemoJ Otat nest are »oM by all druggists.

EXCELLENT GIFT IDEAS SENT FROM ALL OVER STATE By MARY LEA DAVIS. Everybody seems fo he Interested in this question of gift giving between husband and wife The letters are Just rolling in. I really feel sorry for the office boy who brings in the mail from the poatofflee every day He certainly has his two ham - full! Letters are coming to me from all over Georgia. And some of them con tain just splendid ideas. To my mind, one of the best ideas advanced In several days came this morning in an unsigned communication. Usually I pay no attention to such letters, but this one was so good that I am pub lishing it anyway, because T am sure the suggestion It contains will he of benefit to some of our readers. Wish I knew who wrote it. The other day a note of complain’ crept into my little talk. T wondered why I was not receiving many letters from the men. Well, they are re sponding nobly now. Every mail brings me letters from husbands who have already decided what present they are going to give their wives. I like to hear from them. Just to encourage others to write, let me Repeat m.v offer: To the wife who writes the bent short letter telling what is the most useful gift for n husband, one $10 gold piece. Three awards of $5 each will be gievn the wives whose letters are adjudged the next best. Also, 1 will award the same prizes to husbands who write brief letters outlining the most appro priate gift for a husband to give his wife. For the husband's letter that is adjudged the best the writer will receive a $10 gold piece. Hus bands who write the three next best letters wilt receive, each, a $5 gold piece for their thoroughness. * Fend your letters addressed to MARY LEA DA VIS, Editorial Department, The At lanta Georgian. Here are letters which were re ceived to-day: WHAT HE NEEDS MOST. Miss Mary Lea Davis: The most useful gift for a hus band Is something he needs most. If he belongs to an order, a pin, ring or other jewelry with the emblem of his order is nice. MRS. S. B. D. Covington, Ga. PLENTY FOR HIM. Miss Mary Lea Davis: I think a nice present for a hus band would be a shaving set, a good dinner on Christmas Day and invite his friends and yours also. Tell him you love him more on that day than ever before and hope as the years roll by you will love him more and more. Prepare him a good meal each day in the new year, 1914. MRS. J. A. S. Marietta, Ga. SOMETHING USEFUL. Miss Mary Lea Davis: As my husband is a poor man and works hard I think the most sensible present I could make him would be some kind of useful wearing apparel and a promise of a lifelong love and devotion. MRS. G. C. H. Cow pens, S. C. A HOLIDAY DINNER. Miss Mary Lea Davis: I think the most enjoyable and appreciated Christmas gift for husband would be a real nice Christmas dinner and three nice ly cooked meals a day the year round and a happy home with The Georgian to read on even ings. MRS. M. L. W. Kirkwood. Ga. IN HIS STOCKINGS. Miss Mary Lea Davis: When my husband takes down his stockings Christmas morning they will be full to the top. There will be apples, oranges, raisins, nuts and some filled cookies and home-made candies, and right down in the toe will be a beautiful hand-knitted tie (four-in-hand scarf) of white san silk. He will show- his appreciation bv a big old hug and kiss. We have been married 27 years. MRS. O. A. B. Adairsville, Ga. KEEP IT UP. OF COURSE. Miss Mary Lea Davis: If a husband has an apprecia tive wife, he could please her with some real money, according to his circumstances, supplement ed by a kiss Christmas morning, a cheerful disposition all the day. and—why not keep it up until the next Christmas? L. A. W. Chattanooga. Tenn. HOW TO CHOOSE GIFT. Miss Mary Lea Davis: Choose a gift for husband which means love and some sacrifice of time, or money, or thought, or labor, which will give pleasure and satisfaction. Cut the gar ment to fit the cloth. A. J. Buckhead. Ga. A COAT RACK. Miss Mary Lea Davis: I think a coat rack covered with ribbon would be an appro priate gift for my husband. Rome. Ga. N. C. MONEY FOR WIFE. Mis* Mary I^ea Davis: The beet and most appreciated gift from husband to wife, as I view’ it, Is "as much money, cash, ten days before Christmas as he can spare, and ccompany It with any’simple useful article the wife EASIEST GIFT TO BUY. The best gift Is the one that gives the greatest amount of real pleasure. Father and mother sure deserve this gift. Get them a solid gold pair of glasses in a handsome gift case. Se lect the frames and case now’ and we will fit the correct lenses after the holidays without extra charge. A. K. Hawkes Co, Opticians. 14 White hall.—Advt. may need. Most wives, T think, feel cramped to call on their husbands for money to buy Christmas presents, and good hus bands ought to anticipate this and give them such money. J. A. D. Atlanta, Ga. THE PRIZE MON E' Miss Mary Lea Davis: My husband says the thing he wants me to give him is the $10 gold piece you offer in tills con test. Please do not let me dis appoint him! MRS. D. G. D. Atlanta, Ga. MAKE HIS PRESENT. Miss Mary l^ea Davis: As 1 am not financially able to give my husband an expensive Christmas present, and don’t think it quite right for me to purchase and him to pay for his own present, I will mention the very simple and inexpensive tie ring and glove case 1 have planned for him. For the tie ring 1 used red ribbon and a small embroidery hoop. I wrapped the hoop, leaving a fluffy bow on each side and about 10 inches of ribbon from one bow to the other to hang if by. For the glove case. I used two shades • f green velvet ami a piece of cardboard about 4 Inches wide and 10 inches long. T cut the velvet twice as wide as the card board and sewed the two shades to gether, slipping the cardboard be tween the two plys of velvet, fold ed the other side over and fastened it with two boys of ribbon, turned the top corner back Rnd tacked it. making an opening at the top and bottom, so the gloves can be easily slipped In and out. These are very simple, but I am sure he will be glad to take the will for the deed. MRS. S. M Marietta. Ga HIS PROMISE. Miss Mary Lea Davis: I shall give my wife on Christ mas morning my promise and assur ance that I will not visit any clubs, neither shall I drink a drop of in toxicating drinks for three hundred and sixty-five days. Neither shall 1 go out at night unless she be with me, and 1 will devote my time look ing to the welfare of my home, and 1 am sure she will be happy. Rome,.Ga. J. H. H. DON’T LET HIM PAY. Miss Mary Lea Davis: Always give a husband something useful. A nice box of shirts made by yourself, with gold collar but tons. cuff links and tie holder, makes a very useful gift. If you care to you may add ties, collars and socks, but men seldom like ties a woman chooses. Whatever It may be, never let him have to set tle the bill. J. K. Buford, Ga. CHEAP, BUT HAS THE SPIRIT. Miss Mary Lea Davis: This year 1 have 'made my hus band a silk erazywork cushion and head rest for his easy chair, an em broidered tie. a tie holder and coat hanger. The tie holder was an old embroidery hoop and the coat hang er was purchased for a few cents. I covered them with pale blue rib bon. shirred on. The total cost of all in money was the princely sum of 49 cents It is the spirit in which you give anything that counts, not the money value that makes it ap preciated. MRS. J. A. S. Gainesville, Ga. HER IDEA. Miss Mary I*ea Davis: A gift is appreciated by a hus band when he knows that the giver made the money by her own hands by which it was purchased. If he needs It. an easy chair is an ap propriate gift, where he can rest when his day’s work is over, and read a good daily paper like The Georgian. MRS. H. E. H. Gainesville, Ga. MOST USEFUL GIFT. Miss Mary Lea Davis: The most useful gift a wife can give her husband would be a year's subscription to The Georgian, from which, at the close of each day. he can enjoy rest and diversion in gaining the current news and all the benefits therefrom by the pe rusal of a clean and up-to-date pa per which stands for high ideal and right principles in all things. And that is what I shall give my hus band for a Christiuas gift. MRS. T. A. G. Apalachee. Ga. The Famous Ellery ROYAL ITALIAN BAND at Auditorium-Armory.

Hobbs, publisher of Tha Caterer, who spoke on "Hotel La bor.” The addre.ss of Mr. Paxon was of particular interest in view of the ten tative campaign now on to further the consumption of Atlanta and Georgia products, and the visiting bo te! men were prompt to see how this doctrine might be turned to account in their own cities. At 1:30 o'clock the hotel men ad journed to the Georgian Terrace for luncheon, after which they boarded motor cars for a trip to the Capital City Country Club, returning by way of Kimballville Farm, where "Farm er Bill" Zimmer wsr host.

Pure Candy Good Food, Experts Say Good candy is good food for children, according to demonstra tors at the Child Welfare Show Pure food laws and regulations have evolved a healthful type of coloring for candies All good manufacturers use this type of coloring, which is certified by the Department of Agriculture. The go>J manufacturers also are working hard through their asso ciation to complete the work of wiping out the use of harmful coal tar coloring products by un scrupulous manufacturers. Their efforts, combined with the effects of the law. have made col ored candy practically as healthful as white candy. OBITUARY 11 Persons Living In One Chicken Coop NEW YORK. Dec.

And they did sing It, those kit. Something about the unerring swini and rhythm, and the involuntary and unctuous sympathy with the minor* crept Into the singing as It never seems to dwell in that of white chil dren. And then they sang some regular old-timers: "The blood has signed my name ' and "Mother's children will have a hard time when mother Is dead.” There was the real African swine and sway and chant, and the odd lit- ^ tie haunting minors on which at least one great authority has said our true American music will be. based. If American music ever attains a piace Jof Its own.

Some of the real ragtime, there; and some of the little sliding caden zas found only in the older negro melodies. All through the building a great crowd of Atlanta's negroes and school children moved from room to room and listened to able explanations ot the exhibits by negro teachers, and made notes, and were quiet and at tentive, and appeared generally to ha making the most of what they con sidered a big and serious opportu nity. "It Is most gratifying, the way these people absorb ideas.” Miss Bab. bitt said. “All Friday and to-day 1 have constantly surprised myself, be ing realty touched by the Interest they show' and by the numbers who come to see the exhibit.
