ITCHED FOR 20
YEARS, RESINOL
CURED IN 10 DAYS
Baltimore. Mil.. Julj 10. 1913
About twenty years ago both my kgs
begun to itch from ankle to knee. Uit-
tle pimples come out that looked very
much like heat. The itching and burn
ing was something terrible. I would
start to scratch ami could not stop. 1
would even scratch through the skin and
that, of course, would leave a sore
which I was compelled to bandage
**l tried several prescriptions and
treatments, but received not a particle
of benefit- no more than if the treat
ments were cold water. I then began
to have very little faith in anything
and, of course, could do nothing hut
scratch away. After suffering con
stantly for twenty years, a friend rei
<>m me tided Kesinol Soap and Kesinol
Ointment. From the very first appli
cation, 1 found relief, and was entirely
cured In ten days. The itching and
stinging sensations have ceased and tny
skin is as smooth as a child's."

Tin Augusta « hronicle venture*
the opinion that Mayor Bridges
Smith, of Macon, "is popu.ar with
tlie newspaper men of the .State," and
believes that popularity may be more-
titan a municipal asset by and by, s*|
far as Its political value is concerne 1.
It appears to be a fact that Bridges!
Smith la "an approved proposition.'!
as Harry Fisher would say, with thu
newspaper outfit in Georgia, but
whether he ever will undertake to
cut a figure in State-wide politics Is
ratio - problematical. < >f course, if he
should, he, being himself an old news
paper man, might look for much sym
pathy among the press contingent in
Georgia
Be that as it may, however, the
real secret of Bridges Smith’s un
doubted popularity with the news
papers generally is that he is such a
good fighter!
He fights fair and square enough.
! and he fights hard -to win! If he
| loses, or even seems temporarily io
j lose, he doesn't "holler.”
That is a quality of statesmanship
much admired in Georgia, especially
among the newspaper men. Maybe
it is because the good fighter makes
for good "copy” on the desk, and
I maybe It is because all the world
j loves a good fighter, even as it loves
a lover Whatever may be the big
cause behind the many causes of
i Bridges Smith's popularity In the
State, certainly his perfect willing
| ness to give and take is one thing I
that has made him many friends!
At present something of an effort
apparently is being made In Mat.on
to "trim tlu* old man and reduce his
power." That is none of the outside
world’s business, of course- and yet,
if it be true that Smith’s strength is
his popularity with the people, the ef
fort to "trim him" likely will result
only 1n making him stronger.
Anyway, it generally works out aft
er that fashion!
From all over Georgia come ex
pressions of extreme gratification
that Judson C. Clejnents Is not to
he dropped from the Interstate Com
merce Commission to make room for
former Governor Glenn or anybody
else.
Much genuine resentment has been
manifested in this matter as it first
shaped up, and there is no doubt
I whatever that a goodly measure of
1 it filtered through to Washington.
Georgia evidently was not going to
sep Clements dropped without letting
it be known, even In the White llouae,
that the proposition met with scant
favor.
Not that Georgians have anyth'ng
in particular against Governor Glenn
—far be it fro. . such—hut that Jnd-
hon C. Clements is. and lias been for
years, recognised as one of the ablest,
purest and most truly constructive
statesmen the State ever produced.
It is Butts County’s time t«> name
the Senator In the Twenty-sixth Dis
trict, and already numerous candt-
I dates are coming forward, after a
j tentative sort of fashion.
Representative Mills is "being urged
to enter the field," Judge H. .\l
! Fletcher is “in the hands of his nu
merous friends,"* and one or t vv i
more art* about to be "mentioned."
It is evident enough, even this ear
ly. that there is to he no lack of
1 Senatorial timber ready for use in
that neck of the woods when election
! day comes along.

W» II, Thursday marks the end of
the * 'hristmas gift suggestion con-
'est. So letters received after this
day will he considered I hope to an
no.ie the successful writers no*
later than Saturday.
I have received hundreds upon hun
dreds of letters and 1 have read every
one of them with pleasure and inter-
* t hack of space prevented the
publication of all received.
If the renders of The Georgian ha\e
read the communications that were
printed I am sure they secured a
good many -eally excellent Ideas con
cerning the vexing problem of pres
en t selec tion.
The simple question which 1 pro
pounded at the outset was. What is
lhe Pest f'hrifitrnas gift for a husband
to give his wife, and what is the best
for • wife to give her husband?
I was greatly interested in the way
many of my readers answered the
question. I fear that not a few had
rather broad ideas concerning the
matter, and I am certain that if they
carry out their plans—as outlined to
me in their letters—husband (or wife,
as the chs‘ may be) will have the
grand* st Christmas ever experienced!
Here are some of the letters re
ceived :
FOR REAL COMFORT.
-Mi-s Mary Lea Davis:
My husband’s business requires
him to work very hard and stand
on his feet a great deal. He Is
very tired at night. 1 am going
to give him a lounging robe on 1
a pair of house slippers for his
comfort and Christmas present.
MRS. c. k
Atlanta, Ga.
WORK BOX OF TOOLS.
Miss Mary Lea Davis
My husband has skill and is
handy around life house. If any
thing from the waterworks to the
sewing machine should by chance
refuse to work, he is eager to
master the situation, and truly
delights In it, so I shall give him
a large box filled with useful
tools. MRS. J. R H.
Conyers, Ga.
FOR A HUSBAND.
Miss M a r y Lea Da vis;

MRS. H. C T.

pound bouncing baby boy. That
would be acceptable by us both.
MRS R. A. S

TOOTH BRUSH AND PASTE.
Alins Mary Lea Davis
Of all the many useful gifts
from a wife to a husband 1 would

preserving the teeth, but purifies
the breath and adds to good
health. MRS. \V. S. H
Atlanta. Ga.

still—

perb—
No price too great to make his
heart thrill—
is a real, live, laughing baby
girl. MRS. S. S.
