VINEGAR [Illustration]

A spoonful of vinegar added to the water when cooking corned beef will make it more tender.

To make pie-crust flaky try adding one-half a spoonful of vinegar to the cold water before mixing.

Add vinegar to the water in which you soak wilted vegetables and they will revive quickly and any little bugs in them will come out.

Add vinegar to the water when washing windows or paint or cleaning floors.

If paint or varnish is on a window, wet it with hot vinegar and rub it off with a cent.

To take the shine from clothing, sponge the shiny places with boiling hot vinegar, rubbing vigorously, then press as usual.

IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE for any one to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound whenever such a medicine is needed. It contains no narcotics nor harmful drugs and is made in the most accurate and sanitary manner. Can a medicine be a fraud that is compounded from nature's own remedies, the roots and herbs of the fields, that has stood the test of time by restoring health and happiness to thousands of suffering women?

"FOR WOMEN'S TROUBLES" "I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised for women's troubles, and when a friend recommended it to me I tried it, and it has done me so much good in the two years in which I have been taking it that I find I am a different woman since then. I recommend your Vegetable Compound as much as I can and you may use my letter as a testimonial." MRS. WM. J. THOMAS, Melaval, Saskatchewan.

HELPFUL HINTS To keep the daily paper from blowing away when it is left on the porch, get the carrier to snap it into a spring clothes-pin which is tied to the railing.

WHEN A WOMAN KNOWS that a certain medicine is good she wants no substitute or makeshift. The women who take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound are of this class. They know what they want and they will take nothing else.

"COULD NOT SLEEP" "I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for weakness of the female organs. I had pains in the back and bearing-down pains in the abdomen and was in a general run-down condition. I could not sleep, rest or work, and was quite unfit to do even light household tasks. A friend told me about your Vegetable Compound and I in my turn truly recommend it, as my severe symptoms vanished and I am better in every way. I do my own work, look after my children and see to chickens, a cow, and my garden. I also recommend it for young girls who are weak and rundown, as my 16-year-old daughter has taken it and is quite her own gay self again." MRS. FRED. WILEY, Viscount, Saskatchewan.

A FEW MINUTES of any woman's time is well spent if she will read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound does for sick and ailing women.

"ONE OF YOUR LITTLE BOOKS" "I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for weakness and female disorders. I was so weak at times that I could not stand up. I had been this way for nearly three years, and the different medicines I had taken had not done me any good. I found one of your little books at my door one day and thought I would give your medicine a trial. I am now on my fifth bottle and it is wonderful the way it has helped me. I am feeling much better, have no weak spells, and can do all my work now. I am recommending your Vegetable Compound to all I know." MRS. CASEY LEMERY, 176 Abbott St., Brockville, Ontario.

WHY ARE SOME WOMEN happy, beloved, and successful, while others drag out a negative existence, of no use to themselves or anyone else? Except in a few cases the answer is to be found in a state of freedom from the troubles known as "female." The well woman radiates cheerfulness and serenity, while the ailing one repels you with her despondency. It is not necessary, however, to harbor aches and pains, and the "blues," which make one a detriment to society. The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought relief to such women, and given them a new lease of life.

"A GENERAL RUN-DOWN CONDITION" "I was in a general run-down condition, with a weak back and tired feeling, so that I did not feel like working. My mother was taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and recommended it to me, so I have taken it, and my back is better and I am now able to do my work. I recommend the Vegetable Compound to my neighbors and you may publish this letter." MRS. JOSEPHAT A. GRENIER, Hesketh, Alberta.
