Discriminating women select the best
toilet preparations. For this reason
OUR COLD CREAM
is a popular favorite. It cools, soothes
and heals chapped and inflamed skin.
It is delightfully perfumed, so its use
is a pleasure. It can he used at any
time, because it is readily absorbed.
OUR MASSAGE CREAM
makes the flesh firm and the skin
beautifully clear and smooth. It rids
the pores of impurities and nourishes
the tissues. :

"Church of Cold."
Tliere 1b do structure Just like St
Murk's, In Venice, In tlio world, notes
the Kansas City Journal. Its bulb
shaped domes and inliinrctllke belf
ries remind tho vlidtor of the Orient.
It seems more like a Mohammedan
than a Christian temple. In the facade
nre scores of variously colored marble
coluni.is, each one n monolith and oil
possessing nn eventful history. Some
are from Kphcsus, others from Synir
nn, others from Constantinople and
more than one even from Jerusalem.
St. Mark's Is the treasure house of
Venice, n place of pride ns well ns
prayer. The work of beautifying this
old church was carried on for live cen
turies, and each generation tried to
outdo nil that had preceded It. Tho
wullB and roof are so profusely cov
ered with mosaics and precious mar
bles that It Is easy to understand why
St. Mark's has been called the "Church
of Gold."
Rats Enemies of Birds.
Tlie number of useful Insect-eating
birds nestlnK on the ground or In low
hushes which fall victims to rats Is ex
tremely large and Is one of (he many
kinds of injury done by these perni
cious linliualH which cannot he com
puted, writes K, V. Nelson In the Na
tional Orographic Magazine. I'rubu
bly few frequenters of the countryside
have returned to look Into a bird's nest
to observe Its condition without many
times lludlng It destroyed and frag
ments of egg shells lying about, t'n
questionably a large percentage of
such nests located In the neighborhood
of buildings have been rallied by rats.
On one of the small Danish Islands
It hns been authentically recorded that
the progeny of n single pair of rats,
which esonped from captivity, lu two
years' time oxtcimlimted a great colo
ny of birds for which the Island had
been noted.
One excuse uncivil Is Unit the khiikl
cloth Is acquired from many manufac
turers and the (jrudes of It differ wide
ly sometimes. Thousands of youug
men entering the ollicers' training
camps purchase their own uniforms,
and this provides an opportunity for
u difference in tho quality of tho

Owing to lis derivation the word
"green" was originally applied to the
color of vegetation, blit not to tho color
of tho sen. Jfo application of "green"
to the color of the sen Is quoted before
Chaucer, but lis early as the year 7C0 It
was used for vegetation. Tho word Is
nkln to "grass" and "grow," which verb
originally belonged to the vegetable
world alone. Vegetables "grew," but
animals "wuxiil." "Green" comes from
un Aryan ro(, "ghahr," meaning to be
green or yellow, and "yellow," "gold"
and "yolk" como from that snmei'oot.
