"MAN MAY WORK
from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done." Women continually
overdo and drift along from bad to worse. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is a standard medicine for women's troubles.

"WE HAVE TO DO OUR OWN WORK"
"I saw in the newspapers where Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
doing so much good to women, and as I needed something I began to take
it. I used to be very sick, but I am not now. I live on a farm in the
homestead district and we have to do all our own work. I tell all the
women I see what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound does for me. I
think it saves me from going to a doctor and is the best medicine women
can take."

PIE CRUST
[Illustration]

Ingredients
1-1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons lard
1/2 teaspoon salt
cold water
3 tablespoons butter

Method--Wash butter and squeeze until water and salt has been removed.
Chill the lard then chop it into the flour, with two knives. Add salt
and moisten it to a dough with cold water. (Ice water is not essential
but is desirable in summer.) Toss on a floured board and roll out. Fold
to make three layers and put the butter between the layers. Turn half
way round, pat, and roll out. Cut off the sides of it and roll into
shape for the plate. Roll the center for the upper crust, cutting slits
in it to let out steam. Fold the upper crust under the edge of the lower
crust. Bake in a moderately hot oven 40-50 minutes. Pastry may be used
immediately or chilled before using. It must not come in contact with
the ice.

IF THERE IS ONE THING
more than another that a woman should care about it is her health. She
may be cheated in her happiest hopes because she does not know that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound can be safely taken by all women.
