4 Good old wheat suitable to grind is
very scarce ard hard to find. Millers
are buying up new wheat to grind
before it has gone through the sweat,
to mix. with the old. This is one ol
the many reasons that housek keepers
have had so much trouble OF late te
make good bread from the flour they
have been using. The best remedy
we know of is to use Great Madelis
and we are positive it will please yot
much better than any -four you eve
had in your home.
