DO WOMEN READ our little books which come so regularly to their homes? Indeed they do, and if only one is left at a two-family house we are asked to send another at once. We feel sure that they are read from cover to cover.

BAKING OF BREAD AND ROLLS [Ill.u.s.tration]
The pans should be well oiled and the loaves should never more than half fill them.
Bread should be put into a hot oven and loaves should rise during the first fifteen minutes. It should continue browning for the next twenty minutes then reduce the heat somewhat. Small loaves require 45 minutes, large ones 1 hour.
Biscuits and rolls require a hotter oven than bread. They should rise for the first five minutes and then should begin to brown. After 15 minutes reduce the heat and at 30 minutes the biscuits should be golden brown and thoroughly baked inside. Remove bread from the pans as soon as it comes from the oven. Keep covered with a clean cloth until cool then place in a stone jar or tin box.

Pinkham"s Vegetable Compound is a well-known and well-made medicine and that he knows many women who take it and recommend it.
"COULD NOT WORK HALF THE TIME"
"For many years I have had troubles with my nerves and have been in a general run down condition for some time. I could not do my work half the time because of troubles every month. I was told of Lydia E.
Pinkham"s Vegetable Compound by friends and advised to try it. It has done me good and I strongly recommend it. Since I have taken it I have been able to do all my own work, and I also know friends who have found it good. You can use these facts as a testimonial."

WHITE BREAD [Ill.u.s.tration]
Ingredients 1 tablespoon lard 1 tablespoon b.u.t.ter 1-1/2 teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 cup scalded milk 1 cup boiling water 1 yeast cake in 1/4 cup lukewarm water 6 cups sifted flour
Method--Put lard, b.u.t.ter, salt and sugar into large bowl. Pour over them the scalded milk and boiling water. When this is lukewarm add the yeast cake dissolved in luke-warm water. Sift in flour gradually, beating with a spoon. Toss on a floured board and knead until smooth. Allow it to rise over night in a moderately warm place or until it doubles its original size. Cut down or knead and allow it to rise until light, then form into loaves or biscuits. Allow these to rise until light, then bake. The amount of yeast used will depend on the length of time the bread is allowed to rise.
WHAT DO GIRLS DO who don"t have mothers to advise them about their health?
"SHE WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL"
"Lydia E. Pinkham"s Vegetable Compound was recommended to me for my daughter. She had trouble every month which left her in a weak and nervous condition, with weak back and pain in her right side. She had these troubles for three years and frequently was unable to attend school. She has become regular and feels much better since she began taking the Vegetable Compound and attends school regularly. She is gaining steadily and I have no hesitancy in recommending Lydia E.
Pinkham"s Vegetable Compound and Lydia E. Pinkham"s Blood Medicine."

EVERY TRUE MOTHER realizes the fact that her baby"s health depends upon her own, that the very vitality of her child is influenced by her own physical condition.
Lydia E. Pinkham"s Vegetable Compound has brought health and strength to thousands of others.
"I COULD NOT DO A SINGLE BIT OF WORK"
"I was troubled with weak feelings, headache all the time, a cough, fainting spells and pains in my back and side. I could not do a single bit of work and had to be helped out to the hammock where I lay in the fresh air from morning until night and I had to be carried up and down stairs. After other medicines had failed a friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham"s Vegetable Compound as she said it was excellent for any one in the family way. Before the first bottle was taken I could walk alone and as I kept on with it I got stronger until I was able to do all of my work. My baby is now six weeks old and is a big fat healthy fellow. I am sure Lydia E. Pinkham"s Vegetable Compound has done wonders for me and I recommend it to any woman in that condition."
