WEEDS CURE nILs.

Some folks regard all weeds as the bitter enemies of man. Could they but realize tho medicinal value Of these floral vagabonds, they perhaps would have a different tale to tell
 The Indian found his medicine chest in the great outdoors and regarded IL as a God-given birthright, How many of us, too, can forget the old-fashion- ed remedies handed down from long since departed members of the family who "sworo by herbs for any ills" Perhaps we smiled, but nevertheless there came d time when we used tn am and found them successful. lnnumera- blc are the weeds of use to man. We might, however, name few such as mustard, (whito and blaclI), couch grass, blessed thistle, Canadia flea banc honest, hoarhound, mullein and dandclion. Others not quite so easily found. but still of use are cat nip, jimson weed, Lobelia, poison hcmlock, yarrow and tansy. These are always in demand by the druggists and any cntcrprising youngster wish ing to make money, will find in them a surprising source of Income. Per haps two of the most common of these are mullein and boneset.
 Mullein is a biennial and blooms the second year from June to August. IL grows in a cabbage like cluster, with straight. stout stem. The leaves are of a velvety gray-green in appear ance. Both stem and alternate leaves arc covered with a. sort of hair. It bears a long spike of golden flowers The flowers and leaves should be pick cd when the mullein is in bloom. The leaves are simply dried in tho usual way. The flowers, however, when dried. should be placed in tightly cork cd bottles. in order to preserve their color. They absorb moisture and will
 turn black very quick if exposed. Tht leaves sell for 8 to 2 cents a pound while the flowers hrinS as high as 75 cents and maybe more. Mullein i' splendid for coughs and nervousness

 The pectin test in jelly making was demonstrated and the making of Miss Green gave the following directions which are particularly timely now
 that the fruits are ready for jelly
 making and sugar is scarce. It is
 very practical to can unsweetened
 fruit juices and when sugar becomes
 more plentiful the jelly may be made from the canned juice.
 Extract the juice as for jelly mak- ing by stewing fruit and strain through the jelly bag. Heat and
 pour while hot into bottles previously
 scalded. Fill the bottles full, leaving
 no air space between juice and cork or seal. Place the filled sealed bot ties on their sides in water near tho | boiling point, and keep them in the bath for about 30 minutes. Make sure that the corked or sealed end | is under the hot water. As soon as | the bottles are cool cover the cork l with a paraffin seal. Thorough ster- ! ilization and sealing are absolutely ] essential to success.

PROBLEMS 0F HOME DYEING
 IS SOLVED
Valuable Demonstrations In Important Household Duties
 Given by Miss Green.

On Wednesday the regular demon stration at the Food Hut was on the use of home dyes, the problem of which is the same as the garment dyers' because of the lack of knowl- edge as to what sort of dye has all ready been used, the character of the fiber. how much wear the material has had, and various other things which enter in the result of dying Miss Gladys B. Green explained the American dyes as very satisfactory, and said no one should hesitate to do home dveing on account of the quality of the dyes.
 The permanent dyes are those which are boiled into the fiber and are most satisfactory for garments where a dark or permanent color is desired. One should bear in mind that wool materials shrink in dyeing.
 "Tinting" is the use of the dye soaps, flakes or powders which are used like blueing in the last water This is not a permanent color, but is very practical because it is so easy to use. l. is practical in renewing light shades in both vegetable and animal fibers, and especially good when coloring garments of wool, like sweaters, when shrinking would be a disa dvantase.
 The use of the gasoline dye. which is nothing more than tube oil paint mixed with gasoline, was demonstrate ed. This class of dye is practical foI trimmings on hats, such as flowers and feathers.
