Pour boiling water on oranges and let them stand for five minutes. This
will make the white lining come away from the skin and they will be
easier to prepare for a pudding.

ANY HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE
is painful as well as costly and frequently dangerous. Many women have
avoided this experience by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
in time, thereby relieving the present distress and preventing the
development of conditions that might require an operation.

"THEY SAID I NEEDED AN OPERATION"
"I suffered from the time I was a schoolgirl until I had taken your
medicine with pain in my left side and with cramps, growing worse each
year until I was all rundown. I was so bad at times that I was unfit for
work. I tried several doctors and patent medicines but was only relieved
for a short time. Some of the doctors wanted to have an operation, but
my father objected. Finally I learned through my mother of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and how thankful I am that I tried it. I
am relieved from pains and cramps and feel as if it has saved my life.
You may use my letter to help other women, as I am glad to recommend the
medicine."

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