Keeps complexions
clear and healthy
IT THEN you wash your face do you realize that it is
W not enough to remove the dirt that your skin
needs a soothing, healing influence to keep your com
plexion fresh and free from blemish?
CJ 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.
C That is w hy Resinoi Soap docs for the skin what cos
metics are supposed to do—it insures not only a clean
skin, but a healthy skin, end a fair, clear complexion.

Everybody seems to be interested In
this question of gift giving between
husband and wife The letters are
Just rolling in. I really feel #orry f«,r
the office hoy who bring? in the mail
fmm the post office 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 j
several days came this morning in an -
unsigned communication. Usuallv I [
pay no attention to such letters, butj
tills one was so good that I am pub- |
fishing it nnyway, bSCSQM 1 RIB sure
• te suggestion it contains will be of
benefit to some of our readers. Wish |
I knew’ w'ho wrote it.
The other day a note of complaint j
crept into my tittle talk, i wondered
why I was not receiving man# letters]
from the men. Well, they are rr»- »
sponding nobly now. Every mail I
brings me letters from husbands who j
have already decided what presen's j
they are going to give their wives. 7 I
lik*- to hear from them.
Just to encourage others to w rit?, |
el me repeat nay offer.
To the wife who write* the best
short letter telling what i* the
most useful gift for a husband, one
$10 gold piece.
Three award* of $5 each will
be gievn the wives whose letter*
are adjudged the next best.
Also, 1 will award the same
prize* 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 will receive, each, a $5 gold
piece for their thoroughness.

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
muip 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 neKv 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.
Cowpens, 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 clown
his stockings Christmas morning
they will be full to the top. There
wili be apples, oranges, raisins,
nuts and some Ailed 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 2 7 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 1 kiss Christmas morning, a
cheerful disposition all the day.
and—why not keep it up until
the next Christmas?

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 TACK.
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.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
The best and most apnreciated
gift from hmband 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 j
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- j
lect the frames and case now and
we will fit the correct lenses after the
holidays without extra charge. A. K.

may need. Most wives, I 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 MONE
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
My husband says the thing he
wants me to give him is the $10
gold piece you offer in his con
test. Please do not let me dis
appoint him! MRS. D. G. D.
Atlanta, Ga.
MAKE HIS PRESENT.
Miss Mary Lea Davis:
As l am not financially able to
givf* 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
I have planned for Mm. For the tie
ring I used red ribbon and a small
embroidery hoop. I wrapped the
hoop, leaving a fluffy J>ow on each
side and about 10 inches of ribbon
from one bow to the other to hang
it by. For the giove case, I used
two shades of green velvet an/1 a
piece of cardboard about 4 inches
wide and 10 inches long. I cut the
velvet twice as wide as the card
board and sewed the two shades to
gether, slipping the cardboard be
tween the two pjys of velvet, fold
ed the other side over and fastened
it with two boys of ribbon, turned
th<» top corner back and tacked it.
making an opening at the top and
bottom, so the gloves can he 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 1 will not visit any clubs,
neither shall I drink a drop of in
toxicating drinks for three hundred
and sixty-five days. Neither shall
I go out at night unless she be with
me. and I will devote my time look
ing to the welfare of mv home, and
1 am sure she will be nappy.
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, ff 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 I 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 oid
embroidery hoop and the coat hang
er was purchased for a few cents.
1 covered then) 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 Lea 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 lie
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 b*» a year’s
subscription to The Georgian, from
which, at the close of each day, be
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 Christmas gift.

IS
Some Genuine Singing by Young
sters Enthuses Listeners—Col
ored People Aroused.
Quaint old negro melodies quavered
through the rooms and halls of the
old house at No. 19S Peachtree street
Saturday morning as the children
from the Gate City Free Kindergar-
! ten No. 1 stood’ and sang and sang
to a doorway packed ^vith interested
faces—white face*.
They sang some little hymns, first,
and then somethin** to an old, old
romantic air—"Believe me, if all those
endearing young charms ’’
You know. Also "Fair Harvard"
and other memories in the air.
And they did sing it, those kids.
►Something about the unerring swin.T
and rhythm, and the involuntary and
unctuous sympathy with the minors,
crept into the singing as it never
seems to dwell in that of white chil-
<i ren.
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 swing
and sway and chant, and the odd lit
tle haunting minors on which at least
one great authority has said our true
American music wiil be based, if
American music ever attains a place
of its own.
The little heads swayed in perfect
time; the little brown faces wore ear
nest and smili.ig at the same mo
ment; and the piping voices rose and
fell and negotiated passages of a sort
of natural syncopation that never
could be taught to children in whose
blood it wasn't jumping from gen
erations gone by.
Some of the rgal 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 of
the exhibits by negro teachers, an-i
made notes, and were quiet and at
tentive, and appeared generally to be
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 reaby touched by the interest
they show and by the numbers who
come to see the exhibit. The colored
people of Atlanta certainly are doing
all they can to Improve themselves
and their condition."

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)l 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.

Thomasville to Have
Its Christmas Eggnog
THOMASVILLE, Dec. 13.—Judging
from the carloads of liquor passing
through and stopping in Thomasville
every day it looks as if there would
be plenty o.* old time "celebrating"
in this section for Christmas. The
old idea that the once-a-year drunk
at Christmas should be overlooked
still prevails in a great measure not
only among the negroes, but with
many whites who want their whis
ky for the holiday season, even if they
have it at no other time, v
Owners of hens say they have gone
to laying, and though the supply of
"home made" eggs is still rather
short, there will probably be enough
for at least a moderate* supply of
eggnogg. \
