HOUSE-CLEANING HINTS

To clean a painted wall wash it with saleratus water; about one tablespoonful of saleratus to a quart of warm water.

A piece of zinc placed on the glowing coals will clean the chimney of soot.

A little lye put in paste will make wall-paper stick.

To drive a nail into plaster, heat it very hot and the plaster will not break.

To drive nails or screws into hard wood always rub them over with soap and they will go in easily and will not split the wood.

Shellac the inside of all drawers and they will be easy to clean.

When you remove the waste from your carpet-sweeper, carefully cut the lint and hair from the revolving rolls and brushes. Then with a cloth dipped in kerosene rub the bristles and the inside of the box clean, and the oil will prevent the dust from rising when you sweep.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT

of writing to us about what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for you?

"I AM STRONGER AND FEEL FINE."

"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound because I was tired and run down. I had headaches and no appetite and was troubled for two years with sleeplessness. I tried many medicines but nothing did me any real good. While I was living in Washington I was recommended by a friend to take the Vegetable Compound. I am stronger and feel fine since then and am able to do my housework. I am willing for you to use these facts as a testimonial."
