Tic Church Of Gold.

There is no structure just like st.
Marks, in Venice, in the world. Its
bulb shaped domes and mnaret-like
belfries remind the visitor Of the ori-
ent. II seems more like Moham-
medan than Christian temple. In the
facade are scores Of variously colored
marble columns. each one a monolite
and all possessing an eyentful history.
Some are from Ephesus, others from
Smyrna. others from Constantinople
and more than one even from Jerusa-
lem. ST. Marks Is the treasure house
Of Venice, place Of pride as well as
prayer. The work 81 identifying this
old church was carried on for five cen
turtles, nnd each generation tried TO
Guido all that had preceded It, The
walls and ROOF are so profusely covered
with mosaics and precious marbles that
il "a easy 10 understand why st. Mark !
has been called the Church Of Gold"

WHEN YOUR COLOR FADES

When a girls color fades, when her
cheeks and lips grow pale and she gets
short of breath easily and her heart
palpitates after slight exertion or un-
der the least excitement it means that
she is suffering from thin blood.
Headache and backache often ac-
company this condition and nervous
ness is frequently present.
The remedy, of course, is to build
up the blood and for this purpose DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are recommended.
They are the remedy best suited TO re-
store the blood, bring brightness to
the eyes and put color in the checks
and lips.
The only other treatment needed
costs nothing. 1t is this. Give the
patient plenty of sunlight, moderate
exercise every day, not enough TO
cause fatigue, and use care in the diet
because the food craved is often not
the best for the condition.
Two books, Building Up Che Blood"
aud "What to Eat and How to Eat"
give just the information that every
mother of Il growing girl needs. They
are free. Write for them today to

ectady, N. y. Your own druggist sells
