This Woman Had to Insist
Strongly, but it Paid
Chicago, 111.—"I suffered from ft fe.
male weakness and stomach trouble,
and 1 went to Ilia
st.oro to get bottl3
of Lydia E. I'ink-
liam's Vegotftblo
Compound, but tlia
clerk did not want
to let me bare it-
lio said it was no
good and wanted ma
to try something
else, but knowing
nil about it 1 in-
sisted a n d finally
, Rot it, and I am so
glad I did, for it has cured me,
"I know of so many cases wliero wo-
men have been cured by Lydla E. J'ink-
ham's Vegetable Compound that I can
Bay to every suffering woman if that
medicine does not hoJp her, there is
nothing that will."—Mrs. Jametzkl
2003 Arch St., Chicago, 111.
This Is the age of substitution, and
women who want a cure should insist
upon Lydla E. l'inkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did, and
riot accept something else oil which the
druggist can make a little moro profit.
Women who aro passing through this,
critical period or who aro suffering
i'roin any of those distressing ills pe-
culiar to their sex should not lose sight
of the fact that for thirty years Lydia
E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound,
which is mado from roots and herbs,
lias been t!ie standard remedy for fe-
male ills. In almost every community
you will find women who have been
restored to health by Lydia E. I'inlu

FOOD AGAIN
A Mighty Important Subject to Every-

lieadaches which would last three or
four days at a time, and a violent
course of drugging brought on consti-
pation with all tho Ills that follow.
"My appetite was always light and
uncertain and many kinds of food dis-
tressed me.
"I began to eat Grape Nuts food two
or three years ago, because I liked the
taste of It, and I kept on because 1
soon found It was doing me good.
"I eat It regularly at breakfast, fre-
quently at luncheon, and again before
going to bod—and have no trouble In
'sleeping oa It.' It has relieved my con-
stipation, my headaches have practi-
cally ceased, and I am In better physi-
cal condition at the age of (S3 than I
was at 40.
"I give Grapo-Nuts credit for restor-
ing my health, If not saving my life,
and you can make no claim for it too
strong for me to endorse." Name

AT HOUSE CLEANING
SOME POINTS WORTH KEEPING
IN THE MEMORY.
Much Labor Can Be 8aved by Know-
ing Just What Are the Beat Thlnga
to Use—Proper Care of
Silver.
Brass ca'n be polished by rubbing
with u mixture of powdered clinlk—
precipitate kind used for tooth pow-
der—rubbed into a paste with leuiouu
juice, l.et It dry on and polish with
chuniols. There Is an excellent po-
made that Is a good brass cleaner.
In applying any pomade or paste for
cleansing It will be moro efficacious If
moistened with kerosene Instead of
water. In the same way us<? alcohol
for silver pastes.
Old copper can be rubbed brizbt
quickly with lemon skins and salt or
salt and vinegar. Let it stay on a
very short time and polish with cham-
ois.
Where sliver that Is kept In chests
most of the year must be eleuned It
will save time to boll In soapsuds to
which has been added a good-sized
lump of washing soda. Rinse thor-
oughly In hot water and, It extra pol-
ish Is necessary, rub up with a little
silver powder.
Put your sliver back In the chest
In tissue paper wrappings and a lump
of camphor in the box and you will
be Baved work the next time It Is tak-
en out
Never use soapsuds on cut glass.
Wash In mnmonla water—not so hot
as to crack the glass—scrub with a
tine brush In the facets, rinse in fresh
ammonia water and dry for an hour or
more in cheap, fine sawdust This
brushes out quickly and your pieces
shine like new.
When cleaning the china closet do
not content yourself with just dusting
off unused Bets with a damp cloth.
China should be well scrubbed at least
once a year or it may stain. Soak for
half an hour In lukewarm soapsuds
and rinse In clear water, not too hot,
or It will crack delicate porcelain.
Stains on china can be removed
with a little dry salt or by rubbing
well with wood ashes moistened with
kerosene.
If you do not superintend the wash-
ing of your own fine china, Insist up-
on the maid using a rubber pad In the
bottom of the dlshan and not putting
In too many pieces at a time.
Have a good carpet soap for rugs
and carpets, or use a fine olive oil
Boap, scrub well with the lather, rlnsa
twice, once In lukewarm water, then
in cold. Rub until nearly dry, then
hang In the air.
If floors are much stained and can-
not be done over, wipe off carefully
with gasoline, then rub to polish with
a mixture of half a pound of porce-
lain, a quarter pound of beeswax, melt-
ed and mixed when hot with four ta-
bleBpoonfuls of turpentine. Beat un-
til cold. Apply with flannel, rub with
another piece, and polish with Iron
covered with wool padding and fine
velveteen, if you have no regular floor
oollsher.
Sparkling Mead.
Sparkling mead 1b made by boiling
fourteen pounds of honey In six gal-
lons of water for half an hour, break-
ing into It four eggs; then stir into
this a half ounce each of cinnamon,
cloves, mace and bruised ginger, and
small bunches of marjoram, balm and
Bweetbrler; boll a quarter of an hour
longer and pour out to cool. Then
toast a large slice of brown bread,
spread It over with fresh yeast, and
put It Into the liquor, l.et it ferment
for a day, and then put it Into a cask,
but keep It open till tho fermentation
Is complete. Then cork the cask
tightly. This may be bottled In a
month, and If bottles are used which
have not the patent spring stoppers
the corks must, be Becurely tied.
Escalloped Cabbage.
Escalloped cabbage is a delicious
dish made from left-over boiled new
cabbage. Cut half a boiled cabbage In
pieces, put In a buttered baking dish,
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
one cupful of white sauce. Lift the
cabbage with a fork that it may be
well mixed with the aauce, cover with
one cupful of buttered cracker crumbs
and bake In a hot oven until the
