"A LOT OF GOOD"
"I had female troubles for two years. I always had a headache and a pain
in my side, and sometimes I felt so weak that I could not do my work. A
friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I

still taking it. I will tell my friends of your medicine and hope they
will try it."

CAKE-MAKING
Success in cake-making depends on careful combining of ingredients,
accurate measurements and careful baking. To make cake light and close
in texture, thorough beating is necessary.

Baking--Small and layer cakes require a hot oven for 10 to 20 minutes.

Loaf cakes need a moderate oven from 40 to 60 minutes. In the beginning
the oven should be hot enough to cause the cake to rise and then to form
a crust which holds the gases. When the cake has risen to its full
height decrease the heat so that the cake may finish baking without
becoming too brown. If the oven is too hot at first a crust will be
formed before the cake is risen. If not hot enough, gas will not be
retained in the cake. Either of these conditions will make the cake
heavy.

Testing--The cake is baked if, when pressed lightly upon the top in the
middle, it springs back again. It usually shrinks from the sides of the
