 The various tints and dyes on the market at present make a knowledge of their correct use of interest to ev cry women. Miss Green will show the use of permanent dyes, tfnts and gasoline dyes. and discuss fabrics and which dye is best for the different fibers.
 On Thursday there will be a Can ming and Jelly Making Demonstra- ton at the Food Hut at 2:30 D. m.
 Corn will be canned by the Cold Pack Method, and berries will be can ned without sugar to show the meth cd of keeping any fruit without sug- ar.
 Jelly will be made with apples as a foundation. demonstrating the making of Mint Jelly on this basis. The pectin test which shows the jelly maker whether the juice has the jel- ly making substance or not will be demonstrated. This test determines the amount of sugar to be added to the juice in order to make good jelly. Good results can be obtained in jelly making if the juice is first tested in this manner, which will be explained by Miss Green at the demonstration on Thursday.
 The public is cordially invited to be present.
