i(Q n, why can't l have a skfn like
other girls? Why do I have to
fiave these ugly pimples, blotches and
blackheads ?
“If I could only find something that
would clear up my skin and give me
back my soft, rosy complexion, 1 know
I would be the happiest girl in tho
world! What can I do?”
Is that you talking? If It is, you
don’t have to worry a minute! Just
build up tho rich, red blood In your
body. Then your skin will be as clear
and soft as anybody’s.
That’s what S. 8. S. has been doing
for generations—helping Nature build
rich, red blood! You can build red
blood-cells so fast that the impurities
that cause breaking out on the skin
hardly get into the system before the
pure blood annihilates them — kills
them right out —stops them from
breaking out through the skin.
And then this rich, red, pure blood
feeds and nourishes the tissues of the
Bkin and it looking healthy.
That’s all tbero is to
It. Healthy, vigorous,
red blood Such as S. S. S.
helps Nature build,
makes you healthy all
over. It beautifies your
pies, blackheads, blotches, rash, IkmIs
and eczema—gives you back your ap¬
petite—builds firm, plump flesh and
fills you full of new life and energy.
All drug stores sell 8. 8. S. Get the
larger bottle. It’s more economical.

standing before her. “You come to see
me, you bring fruit and flowers and
boobs," she continued; “you are un¬
failingly thoughtful. I can do nothing
for you except give you gratitude and
thanks.”
The older woman smiled.
“Janet,” she said, “you are like a
great many other people I know. You
have to understand things that are
not necessary to understand. And you
think you must give return payment
for things that should not be considered
in that light.”
Janet looked puzzled. “Well, but
Mary," she floundered, ’’you must ad¬
mit that I have accepted gifts rather
gallantly. Gifts . . . and gifts. . .
and gifts. I must speak about it I
can’t take things from you forever and
not mention it, even though I’m still
convalescing from that accident.”
Mary drew a chair nearer and sat
down. “Oh, give me all the gratitude
-you like. I don’t
mind that. Only
don’t worry about
it. You take all
the fun out of lt s
Accept, my child,
and don’t be tor¬
mented with silly
ideas of some
kind of payment.
Here it is Christ¬
mas Eve, when
the Spirit of Giv¬
ing Is abroad in
the land. There
is nothing so love
ly as giving. But
how can one en
joy this pleasure
If intelligent peo
pie like you In-
slst on regarding It so seriously?
Listen to me, Janet, and I will tell you
a story of another Christmas Eve.”
Janet rested her head on the back of
the chair and regarded her friend
with grave affection. Mary was a
tower of strength. What would have
been these bleak months of recovery
without her?
“Once when I was about ten years
old,” began Mary, "I was visiting at
my grandfather’s farm. We always
went there for a good, old-fashioned
Christmas. It was a delightful place.
Sleigh rides, coasting, skating, trips
into tlie woods for Christmas greens.
Everything that a child would find joy
in doing. Christmas Eve particularly
was overflowing with a kind of intox-
OH are always do¬
ing some kind thing
for me. I don’t un¬
derstand it.”
Janet, a small
creature with
enormous eyes and
frail hands, looked
at the woman

icating joy. Stockings pinned to the
monfol mantel, a a tree* tree In in tliA the corner, secrets
whispered about surprises—oh, the
finest feeling In the world, Janet.
“Well,” continued .Mary looking out
into the dusk with a gentle wistfulness
In her face, “at this time I mention, I
happened to be hiding behind the
Christmas tree in the corner. The
other children had been packed off to
bed. I think I was trying to sit up and
determine, once for all, if there was a
Santa Claus. My mother and grand¬
father were talking together by the
fireplace and my mother was trying to
espnms her feelings about being there.
She told grandfather that it meant
everything in the world for her to
bring her children to the farm for
Christmas. ‘They will never forget
this season of she said.
‘Christmas to
them will always
shine in a glow
of joyous memory.
You are giving
them and me the
most precious
capital in the
world: one on
which we can
draw for inspira¬
tion as long as we
live.’ Then she
asked him how
she could ever re¬
pay him for his
generosity.
“Grandf a t h e r
looked at her and
said slowly, ‘If
these Christmases
mean what
say to your children, you need not
worry about any returns to me.
Payment does not always come back
directly. It goes on in other ways.
Your children, from the happy mem¬
ories in this house, will continue
to carry on the tradition. They will
make other people happy for the sake
of the merry times they had here. My
payment comes in knowing this. I
give happiness to you and them, and
they, in turn, will pass it on to others.
It is a form of indirect payment. The
satisfaction of seeing the seed of joy
blossom into generosity towards others
is the best payment in the world.’
“Janet,” went on Mary, “I did not
see Santa Claus that night I hid behind
the Christmas tree, but I sneaked out
and went to bed thinking about grand¬
father. It is something I can never
forget. If It has been possible to
bring you a few things that help to
while away the dull days, biame it on
grandfather. He started the debt. I’m
paying him partly through you. . ,
Mary’s voice trailed off Into silence.
She was thinking of that low. square
room in the farmhouse where she spent
so many happy holidays.
Janet leaned forward and touched
her softly. “It is a beautiful way to
explain your kindness,” she whispered,
“but whom am I to pay?”
Mary looked at the frail girl in the
big chair. “ I overheard the little
maid who comes in to mop your floor
say that you were ‘the beautifulest pa¬
tient in the hospital.’ She adores you
as a kind of goddess. Maybe you can
find a happy target In her. Aim one
of your enchanting smiles at her and
see what happens. Now I must go.
Merry Christmas!”
Mary left in a breeze of cheerfulness.
A quarter of an hour later found
Janet and the little maid who mopped
the floors in a gale of laughter. Janet
was telling her a story and had heaped
her arms with fruit. Tlie little maid
seemed transfigured with happiness.
And it Is said that she later gave most
of her fruit away to the cook.
“Indirect payment. . . .” whis¬
pered Janet to herself as she slipped
that night into the harbor of sleep.

HIGH COURT FIXES
PREMIUM PAYMENT
OPINION RENDERED BY MAJOR¬
ITY DECISION OF THE GEOR
GIA SUPREME COURT
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Newsy Paragraphs Gathered Through¬
out The State For The Benefit
Of Our Readers
Atlanta.—The provision in tho
Georgia law requiring the payment of
a 10 per cent premium in the redemp¬
tion of property sold for taxes, re¬
quires a flat payment of 10 per
,cemt, and not a pro rata of that
amount, depending upon the time
taken in making the redemption, un¬
der a majority decision of the -Geor¬
gia supreme court handed down the
other day.
In the case of W. M. Reynolds
against the Bickers - Godwin com¬
pany, appealed from the Greene su¬
perior court, a new legal point was
raised by the contention that the
law allows twelve months for the re¬
demption of property sold under fi.
fa., and the 10 per cent premium
should be figured in ratio to the time
taken by the owner in making a re¬
fund to the purchaser.
“The premium provided for In the
civil code In refe-ence to the re¬
demption of property sold under tax
fi. fas. means the payment of 10 per
cent in addition to the amount of
purchase money, without regard to
the time elapsing between the sale
and the redemption,” the higher court
ruled.
Quoting the statute providing for
the redemption of property within
twelve months, “by paying the pur¬
chaser the amount paid for the land,
with 10 per cent premium thereon
from the date of purchase to the time
of payment,” Justice Price Gilbert,
in a dissenting opinion, held that the
ruling of the majority of the court
treated as redundant the words, “from
date of purchase to the time of pay¬
ment.” He also quoted decisions
holding that interest is merely a pre¬
mium for the use of money, and the
terms premium and interest are inter¬
changeable.
Justice Gilbert stated that he was
authorized to say that Justice War¬
ner Hill agreed with him in his dis¬
sent.
Athletic Field For Woman’s College
Valdosta.—Beginning what is con¬
sidered the moat important develop¬
ment in recant years at the Georgia
State Woman's College here, work has
started on the new athletic field of
the college. The site for the field,
which is 500 by 300 feet, is now be¬
ing graded by the city of Valdosta and
other work will go forward as soon
as materials arrive. The field will
consist, in part, of the gymnasium,
which is on one corner of the site,
an outdoor gymnasium with play¬
ground effuipment, six concrete sur¬
faced tennis courts, race tracks and a
field for soccer and hockey. The
building program of G. S. W. C. has
been at a standstill for the last five
years due to failure of the legislature
to appropriate funds for the much
needed buildings to relieve the crowd¬
ed condition at the college. The de¬
velopment of the new athletic field
is regarded by the officials of G. S.
W. C. as the equivalent In value of
a new building on the campus, al¬
though it does not in any way relieve
the crowded conditions of the col¬
lege.
Grand Jury Advises Bond Issue
Decatur.—Recommending a bond is¬
sue for a new jail, an enlarged pro¬
gram of road building, and improve¬
ments to court house, were the main
features of the grand jury present¬
ments read in DeKalb county superior
court here the other afternoon. Stat¬
ing that the conditions at the jail
were found to be "unsafe and unsan¬
itary.” it was recommended that a
new jail be built and until that is
done that efficient guards be em¬
ployed to patrol the jail at all hours,
and that, ail prisoners entering the
jail, be relieved of all valuables and
receipt be given for same.
2 More Convictions In Langston Case
Fayetteville.—Rainey Cautbern, who,
with Melvin Windham, recently con¬
fessed to participating in a plot to
slay James C. Langston, rural mail
carrier, near here, more than three
years ago. pleaded guilty to the crime
in Fayette superior court, and was
sentenced to life imprisonment by
Judge W. E. H. Searcy, J. Melvin
Brown, convicted in the same case
and recommended to the mercy of the
court, was given a similar sentence.
He declared that be had nothing to
do with the crime and that his attor¬
neys will petition for a new trial.

Atlanta.—At the Georgia Military
Academy here, a barbecue was given

Dorinda and Her
Christmas Locket
She Decides to Reveal Mys¬

of Tiny Glass.
By MARTHA BANNING THOMAS
GRIND A’S hair was
pretty that you
almost forgot to
kok at her face,
but when you once
looked at her face,
you forgot all
about her hair. At
Sandy McQuinn said, and he ought to
know, if anybody. Sandy had made
a thorough study of Dorinda at all
seasons when it was possible. In
fact his research work would have
done credit to a scientist.
There were times when Sandy felt
exuberant, and there were other times
when he called himself a complete
idiot This simple barometer of emo¬
tions indicated the various moods of
Dorinda. Dorinda could scintillate
with wit and mischief; Dorinda could
droop in lovely wistfulness; Dorinda
could be severe, and Dorinda could be

melting. One never knew which Do¬
rinda, of her many selves, one would
find.
“And," declared Sandy to his mother,
who had gently inquired about his rest¬
lessness, “she keeps wearing that sil¬
ver locket. She won’t say who gave it
to her and she won’t let me peek in¬
side. If she’s got some other chap in
there fill just drop her! She need not
think she can lead me around by the
nose!”
Sandy struck an attitude of great
superiority and strode about the room
like a pirate. His mother smiled a
little, but said nothing.
After a few dark mutterings and
final gestures, Sandy said he was “go¬
ing out” but would be in early. He
lifted his hat from a hook in the hall
and went straight as his feet could
carry him, to the house of Dorinda
Kent.
This sort of thing lasted all fall.
By Christmas time Sandy had worked
himself up to a great state of nerves
over the locket. Dorinda was quite
sweet about it, but also quite firm.
She would never let Sandy see the con¬
tents.
Christmas eve Sandy’s mother gave
a little party to her son’a friends. It
was done chiefly for Dorinda, so San¬
dy’s mother would have the opportu¬
nity of judging the girl's charms for
herself. Sandy was earnest and sol¬
emn about ail the arrangements, and
even went to the point of asking his
mother if she had dusted the back part
of the piano—was she sure?
“We'll probably sing, you know," he
said, “and I want everything to look
just right.”
“Yes. my son,” answered his mother.
Dorinda floated in- like a bit of
thistledown. She was the last to ar¬
rive. Immediately she became the
lively center of a laughing group. But
she had not forgotten her manners?
pushing the young people away, she
went up to Sandy’s mother, and cap¬
tured her in half a minute. Mrs. Mc
Quinn did not even know when she
surrendered. “No wonder,” she mused
aloud, when the lovely girl had re¬
turned to the others, “no wonder poor
Sandy Is temporarily out of his head—
she Is a witching lass.”
Of course there was dancing; of
course there were good things to eat,
and of course there was a bit of mistle¬
toe cleverly concealed in an obscure
corner. Sandy had privately seen to
this. In fact the whole party revolved
around this particular bit of mistletoe.
Just before the last dance Sandy
lured Dorinda Into that corner by say¬
ing he had something very important
to tell her. When she stood directly
under the tiny bough, looking up at
Sandy with her dark, laughing eyes,
Sandy opened hfs campaign. He put
his arms around her and kissed her on
her soft, flushed cheek.
She was furious. In the resulting
scramble, the silver locket snapped
Its ring and dropped to the floor. Here
was opportunity! Sandy ducked, evad¬
ing the swift reach of the girl's hand.
He had the locket In his grasp. It
was open!
“You sha’n’t look at It!” cried Do¬
rinda. looking stormy but adorable.
‘Tve got It!” announced Sandy, “and
if you don't let me look at it I shall
probably kiss you again!”
Dorinda stamped her little satin
slipper. “Oh, well, I don’t care!” she
said and shrugged her shoulders.
Sandy looked down at the open
locket. It was perfectly empty.
“There!" triumphed Dorinda. “See

said. “I found out what's in that
