HINTS AND HELPS
[Illustration]

The common nut-cracker makes a splendid little household wrench for cans
and bottles with screw tops. Even glass stoppers will yield to it.

A pair of scissors in the pantry to cut up raisins, suet, citron, etc.,
is easier to use then the chopper. A metal shoe-horn that has a hole in
the top to hang it up by, makes a good kettle scraper.

Use a bicycle pump to clean such parts of the sewing machine as you
cannot reach with a cloth or with an old tooth brush.

Save the sand-paper which comes on the match-boxes and use it for
scraping, cleaning, etc.

Ammonia water will remove the cloudy appearance from the preserve jars
in which vegetables have been canned.

THE BEST ADVERTISED MEDICINE
in the world is the medicine which has the most friends.

"It HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR WOMEN"
"I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for years, and it is the
only patent medicine I ever recommend. I am a nurse, and if I find a
woman is in poor health I always tell her to take it. Although you know
doctors and nurses do not use patent medicines I must say that I think
there is nothing better than your Vegetable Compound. When I first took
it many years ago, I was that tired when I got up in the morning that I
was weak and I could not eat nor sleep. My mother-in-law told me that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was just what I wanted, so I tried
it, and only took two bottles when I felt better. Since then I have
found that there is nothing that makes me feel so well, for it seems to
build my system right up. I don't know any other medicine that has done
so much for women."

Ingredients
1 quart sour milk
1/3 to 1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sour or sweet cream
(or 1 large tablespoon butter)

Method--The milk should be freshly sour to get the best flavor. This is
best obtained by adding a little sour milk to five or six times the
amount of sweet milk. It should be kept in a warm place (the back of the
stove) until the curd of the milk is thick and smooth and the whey is
watery and has risen to the top. Drain in a cheese cloth ba
