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. By MARY LEA DAVIS. 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!
