What ordinary soaps do to the skin O RDINARY toilet soap makes your akin look w hite and clean to the naked eye—but look at it through a magnifying glass. You will find that the “free” alkali, which ordinary ,oap contains, has roughened, irritated and parched your akin; and this may in tiir.o cause blotches, pimples, black heads and other skin troubles. Resinol Soap cleans, soothes and protects the skin You need a aoap which not only cleana your skin, but also soothes, heals and protects it—that is why you should get a cake of Resinol Soap from your druggist. This pure and delightful toilet soap contains the same medication as Resinol Ointment, the standard prescription for skin troubles. It therefore affords an antiseptic protect ion to the skin, which merely pure soap does not do. Resinol Soap keeps the skin in a clean, healthy condition and insures a clear, natural complexion.

Well, the Christmas gift contest is jut an end and here are the success- I ful contestants: MRS. L T CHRISTIAN, No. 133 I Lee Street. Atlanta, Ga.. $10 in gold. MRS EDWARD MacMILLAN, East Point, Ga.. $5 in gold. MRS CAR!, KARSTON, No. 60 j n (old MRS. A SCALES. No. 018 Park | street, Jacksonville, Fla., $5 in gold. .! T. REYNOLDS, JR . No. 64 York awnue.

I congratulate each of the forego ing contestants and trust that the gold pieces will find a welcome! Personally, I am delighted with the success of. the contest. It has been fascinating to me. I have read every I . totter* *and there vrere hundreds upon hundreds of them and not one but held some interest for me. Some of the writers. I’m sure, did not take themselves seriously, but I enjoyed what they had to suggest Just the same. I am going to print nil the winning letters, but without identification so that the husbands and wives men tioned in them will not know In ad vance what they are going to receive from their life partners for Christmas. In t lie event you have forgotten the offer I made. I repeat it: To the wife who icritvs thr brut short lettrr telling what i* thr most useful gift for a husband, one $ 10 got (Ipirn . Thrrr awards of each trill hr given thr wives whose letters are adjudged the next best. I l*o, I will award the same prizes to husbands who write brief letters outlining t)tr most appro priate gift for a husband to give his wife. 1'or the husband's litter that is adjudged the bent thr writer will verrive a $10 gold piece. Hus bands who write thr three next best letters will receive, each, u $5 gold piece. Here are the “best” letters HE SHOULD BE HAPPY. Miss Mary Lea Davis: A most appropriate gift for a wife to give her husband would be a picture of herself nicely framed for him to keep on his desk or to take with him when he has to leave home. If she will present this to him with her sweetest smile, and endeavor to show him in every way that he has the love and devotion of the original, he should be a happy man, especially if he is in love with his wife, as all men should be. LIFE INSURANCE. Miss Mary Lea Davis: \ life inaurai.ee policy appeals to mo ns n very appropriate Christmas present for a man t<> give his wife, for it is not only a constant reminder of the giver, but shows forethought, and is also n source of satisfaction to the giver to know' that the one best loved by him is protected even after his death. I think my wife will appreciate this more than anything else I could give her. USEFUL ARTICLE. Miss Mary Lea Davis: At present we ar. struggling to pay for a home and take car** of three little ones that must al ways be remembered at Chris*- mas; so neither of us will be abto to buy a present for the other. But I shall make my husband one of the many useful articles so much appreciated by the majority of men a laundry bag with an opening large nough for him to drop his soiled articles into in a second. He will appreciate it, I know from past experience. REAL SENTIMENT. Miss Mary Lea Davis: Eighteen years ago I married a farmer's rosy-cheeked daughter. I brought her to the city to live, but she never seemed to like it here. She had been used to an outdoor life. Visits to her old home brought the color back to her cheek* and happiness to her heart. This Christmas I am go ing to give her a deed to a 165- scre farm which I purchased last September and which I will stock with cows, chickens, ducks and pigeons the things I know she loves. Then we’ll nil move back to the country, and I pray that the roses will* bloom again and for all time in her dimpled cheeks! THE RING SHE WANTS. Miss Mary Lea Davis: The wedding ring that I placed on my bride’s finger fifteen years ago this month is too small for her now. She was obliged to put it away two months ago because it was too tight for comfort. She prized the ring highly because of tlie sentiment attached to it, and, although she didn’t say much about it, I know that she misses It sadly, for several timesl have noticed her looking at the ring less finger in an absent-minded way. For a Ghristmaa present I am going to give her another ring as near Ilk» it as possible, with the same motto engraved in side. I know she will be pleased. HER PHOTOGRAPH. M ,v *m Mary Lea Davis: 1 shall give my husband a dain tily framed picture of mvaelf. Per haps to many that would se»*m ex travagance touched with vanity, since we have only a very mod est income. But I have saved the amount necessary for the gift from my allowance during the year by practicing bits of self- denial ho small i can hardly re call them. ♦Mv husband is blessed with an appreciative nature, so any gift I chose would be happi ly- received. But 1 am giving him my picture oecause it is the per sonal note in a man’s married life as well as in his benedictine days that appeals to his best nature; for, after all, the usefulness of i gift must be judged by the heart chord it strikes. VERY PRACTICAL. Miss Mary Lea Davis: The most suitable gift a hus band can give his wife is one that she ran enjoy in after years .is well as now. 1 think a life insur ance policy f«»r as much as one can carry would be the most ap preciated of all. Then s c can say, “He lived and died for those he loved.” A REMINDER.' Miss Marv Lea Da via: In naming rny choice of a gift. T have tried io select something that would be acceptable to all men as well as being within the means of all wives. A dainty pho tograph of herself for his office, set in a frame in keeping with her own individual finances, would, to me. be the most appre ciated and tenderly sentimental gift a wife could bestow—useful, too. because in moments of dis couragement and perhaps tempta tion it would be a spur to better effort and a constant reminder of her love and trust. RESERVE BINS FI Do Xmas Mailing Now, Final Hint Of Postmaster This is the “Iasi call” for the post ing of Christinas packages at the At lanta postofflee. Bolling H. Jones, postmaster, doesn’t mean that no more Christmas mail will be, received for transmis sion, which would be a highly impo litic and even “unconstitutional” at titude to assume. "But if Atlanta people want to be suri* that their packages are handled out of the city with promptness and i are. they slum Id mail them Satur day,'' Mr. Jones said. “Already the railroads are simply swamped with the flood of packages. There is mail lying in the various depots now that has been there 24 hours. We are able to get the stuff out of this office, all right. 1 never have seen a bunch of workers like these hoys. But the rail roads simply can’t ahndle it promptly, and that's all there is to it.” Mr. Jones added that parcels post ed as late as Monday couldn’t be ex pected to reach a destination of any considerable distance before Friday or Saturday of next week. Owls Give to Poor Whom Santa Skips over 125 poor children of the city w hom Santa Claus might overlook on Christmas will receive present* from the Christmas ti>>- of the Owls’ Cluo which will be erected December 26 in the lodgeroom of the club in the Thrower Building. A. L. Heading ton wants the names of many more poor children mailed him at the club so that there will be a present for all on the tree. Leaders at Banquet Praise the Currency Measure and Pre dict Prosperous Era. Atlanta bankers were feeling opti mistic Saturday over the passage of the currency bill by the Senate, with the good prospect of its adoption by the House as amended by the Sen ate. Without exception, they declare the business outlook to be the bright est that America has ever known. They expect Atlanta to land a re serve bank. Favorable expressions were heard at the bankers and brokers’ banquet al the Capital City Club Friday nignt. Even if the adoption of the bill served to do notning else, the opin ion was freely expressed that dis turbed financial conditions would be settled by it, and readjustment of money affairs generally would follow. The speakers were the presidents of Atlanta’s banks. They saw the es tablishment of regional reserve banks in the near future, with Atlanta as a favored place for one of the banks. Robert F. Maddox, vice president, and \V. L. Peel, president of the Ameri can National Bank; Captain James W. English, president of the Fourth National Bank; A. P. Coles, vice pres ident of the Central Bank and Trust Corporation; Charles K. Currier, pres ident of the Atlanta National Rank, and Frank Hawkins, president of the Third National Bank, were the local speakers. A. C. Heinz, president of the Bankers’ Cluo, was toastmaster. Prominent Visitor* Present. Among the out-of-town bankers were H. S. Haas, of the First Na tional Bank of Philadelphia; Maxwell Bechew, of the Equitable Mortgage and Trust Company, of Baltimore; H. S. Russell, of the Fourth National Bank of New York, and C. J. Hood, oi the Northeastern Banking Company, of (’ommerce, Ga. “The currency bill as apnended by the Senate is a good bill, and I hope to see it pass the House,” said Mr. Maduox. "The success of the bill, \* it is adopted by Congress, depends entirely upon the confidence shown in it by the national banks and their willingness to subscribe to the reserve hank At any rate, the effect will be to settle things for a while and give the financial affairs of the country a chance for readjustment.” Captain English declared there would bo no doubt about Atlanta ob taining th* regional bank if all of the hankers got together and pulled for it. Reserve Bank for Atlanta. “I think the sooner the House pusses the amended measure th* better off we shall be,” he said. “We will then at least know where we stand, and can adjust ourselves to conditions. 1 believe that a regional reserve bank for Atlanta will be almost a necessity, and we should not have much diffi- culty in getting it if we all pull to gether.” That there would be a decided set tling oC disturbed financial conditions with tiio adoption of the bill by the House was tlie opinion expressed by Mr. Hawkins. “The agitation which hns prevailed during the agitation of the question will now be relieved, and the business men will be able to tell w here they stand,” he declared. “I hope the measure will repass the House quick ly and become a law.” Sidelights GEORGIA POLITICS , Jr JAMES B. KEVIN NEAR BALLOT. Former Governor Joseph M. Brown had little faith in the substance of the State’s claims to the Tallulah Falls property now he’d by the Geor gia Railway and Power Company, and strongly advised against the suit re cently settled in the power company ? favor by the Supreme Court. The then Governor believed sin cerely that the State had not even the shadow of a claim to the property involved, and that the State had no substantial right to embarrass the present holders of the property by proceeding against them. When he saw, however, that a de termined effort would be made to keep alive indefinitely the fight un less it was passed ui>on by the courts he t greed to the Legislative resolu tion making possible the suit, and in structed the Attorney General to go ahead. The House Committee on the Judi ciary also had little faith in the State’s claim, but took the view* that the matter might ss well be cleared up for all time, and reported the res olution, therefore, favorably. The re sult of the suit, however, was not much of a surprise to the State. There is no doubt whatever that this suit cost Mrs. Helen Longstreet, its inspiration, a pretty penny—it cos* her her job as postmaster at Gaines ville, for one thing She made a brave, if bitter, fight, for the establishing of the view of the question she entertained, and al though she went down in defeat, she went down in no sort of dishonor. She simply had no real case—as the decision of the Supreme Court abun dantly shows. The power company never doubted the outcome of the suit, for it never stopped a day’s work because of it. and its securities suffered little in consequence of the -State’s proceeding. The death of President Thomas, of the Nashville. Chattanooga and S-.. Louis Railroad, likely will cause some delay in the work of the Georgia leg islative committee having in hand the matter of advising the General As sembly with respect to the re-leasing of the roa»i. The committee was working with that gentleman to an extent, and until his successor is installed that end of the work, at least, will have to rest. Major E. C. Lewis, who is chair man of the board of directors, is acting president until April 1, when John Howe Peyton w*ill assume :h? position. Mr. Peyton, however, will join the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis on January 1 as general manager. looks as if it is a pretty good bet to stay put. As a matter of fact, the bar of the State does not desire to see the Court of Appeals abolished, and not a par ticularly large •section of the lay citi zenship is acutely interested in the matter one way or the other. The court seems to serve a very useful purpose in disposing of the mass of relatively unimportant matter that used to stack irp appallingly in the Supreme Court, and to that extent, at least, it is a most inexpensive luxury to Georgia. It might be merged into the Supreme Court, by increasing the membership of the latter body from six to nine, but even at that it seems difficult for the average lawyer to see where the situation would be greatly improved. One thing appears to be certain enough, however: If the Court of Ap peals Is abolished, it then will be nec essary to limit the right of appeal in Georgia, or the Supreme Court can not handle intelligently all the mat ter sure to com* before it. A great many Slates do limit the right of ap peal; but Georgia throws the gates wide open. You can go to a court of review in Georgia on any old pretext or with any old case, no matter how small. As there is only the remotest pos sibility that the Court of Appeals will be abolished, however, speculation as to what might be done in the event it were wiped out is speculation only. Chairman “Bob” Davison, of the Prison Commission, is expecting to enjoy himself this Christmas to an unusual degree. “We are winding things up to-day.” said the chairman, “and this office will be. to all intents and purposes, closed tight all next week. There have been times when the Prison Commission was worked overtime at the Christ mas season, because of the perfect avalanche of applications for Christ mas clemency. Governor Slaton has knocked that sort of business galley west this year, however, and has made it mighty plain that this‘Christ mas clemency’ plea doesn’t *make much of a hit with him! “He is right, too. of course. There is no earthly reason why a prisoner should be extended clemency at Christmas time more than at any oth er time, if that is the best there is to be said for him. .Still, if these people insist upon applying to us, we must hear them. The Governor has given such parties a straight tip what to expect at his hands—or what not to expect, rather—and so he has eased 1 up the pressure in this office tre- j mendously. “I am going home to-night to enjoy ! my Christmas, and all mv associate ! members already have departed.” Mrs. W.

The Court of Appeals and Emma McDonald. i Mrs. McDonald I That Georgia women soon will have j the right to vote is the belief ex pressed by Mrs. W. L. Shepherd, the attractive Montgomery matron who lent Congressman Heflin the famous • expression, "It is better that a wom an control a voter than a vote,” and who is an ardent -suffragist. “I am opposed to equal suffrage, but I must admit that the energetic man- ner in which Georgia women are i pushing their demands for the ballot indicates it won’t be very long until ; they receive it,” she said Saturday. Mrs. Shepherd is visiting friends in Atlanta. “Notoriety is displeasing to ine, and I I think there has been enough writ- j ten about me a,ready,” she said. “I don’t think Mr. Heflin should be crit- j icised for using the words which ■ someone else had spoken. I rather ; admire him for using them if he 1 thought there was force in them. Calls Home Woman's Sphere. “I am opposed to suffrage because I believe a woman wields more influ ence under present conditions than she would by the right to vote. I think every man should discuss those questions upon which he will vote with his* wife, and I believe that most men do. Women should have a voice ir. the affairs of the country, but un doubtedly they have a greater per suasive power now than they can hope to have otherwise. "The suffragists of Georgia, how ever, appear to me to be making won derful progress. I don’t like to admi; that my State is behind in anything, but the Georgia women seem to be pushing their cause with more vigor than the Alabama women, and from what I have seen and heard here, it won’t be long before they have the right to vote. “A woman’s place is in the home. No matter whether women are ever given the use of the ballot or not. they are going to find that their real power is in the influence they wield in the home. Husband Approves Her View. “A woman is a woman, after all, and her sphere has been and always will be one of influence, and by the use of the ballot I think they will cheapen it.” Mr. Shepherd, who is well known throughout the South and who is at the head of a company, backed by the Montgomery Camber of Commerce, for the development of an automatic railroad switch invented by his father, greatly admires his wife’s views on suffrage. “There is not a big business which is controlled by one man.” he said. "Railroad presidents are controlled by the sentiment existing in the mass of employees and officials in their rail road systems. They are controller* from the interior, as it might be said “It is the same way in which the affairs of the country are controlled by the women, for by the influence pom the home does a man vote. And most assuredly the women exercise a i wonderful influence in controlling the I vote of their husbands, sons and I brothers.” Messenger Hangs to Flying Express Car As Fire Rages Inside NEW LONDON, CONN., Dec. 20 Clinging to the chains on the outsid* of an express car on a train going miles an hour, with fire raging inside the car ami no .means of stopping the train or giving warning.
