<br />Writers who have made a study of

<br />flour that it imparts a sweeter and
<br />more appetizing flavor to the bread
<br />and prod a more palatable loaf
<br />generally.
<br />For fifty y re, or since 1858, the
<br />Gardner Mill has been steadily pro-
<br />ducing high class flour, and the pro-
<br />ducts of this mill in ever increasing
<br />volume have carried the name of
<br />Hastings over a large part of our own
<br />country and into every important
<br />market of Europe, Doubtless many
<br />of oar own citizens will be surprised
<br />to learn that in the year 1907 over a
<br />million and a halt bushels of wheat
<br />were here converted into flour,
<br />The fact that we have run our mill
<br />continuously night and day, Sundays
<br />and holidays excepted, for two years
<br />past, during which time many mills
<br />have been obliged to run on short
<br />time or shut down entirely, speaks
<br />more strongly than anything I could
<br />say for the excellence of our product
<br />and the high quality of the flour we
<br />produce.

<br />Tits Microscope.
<br />There Is good reason to believe that
<br />the magnifying power of transparent
<br />media with convex surfaces was very
<br />early known. A convex lens of rock
<br />crystal was found by Layard among
<br />the rains of the palace of Nimrod.
<br />And it is pretty certain that after the
<br />invention of glass hollow spheres
<br />blown of that material were commonly
<br />used as magnifiers. The perfection of
<br />gem cutting shown 1n ancient gems,
<br />especially 10 those of very minute
<br />size, could not have been attained
<br />without the use of such aids to the
<br />eye, and there can be little doubt that
<br />the artificers who ctlald execute those
<br />wonderful works could also shape and
<br />polish abs magnifiers best suited tan_
<br />their own or others' -

<br />oak or ash and sort maple, to be delivered at the
