baking Is the protection which the

cludes oil air, dust and moisture, thus
placing them on the table as fresh and
pure as when they left the oven.
Until within a few years the pur-
chaser OF crackers or biscuit had no
choice but TO buy from an open box or
Darrell. II they CHANGED TO be clean
when they left the Darrell, they were
more or less broken by the time they
had been carried home 10 q paper bag.

TOWN TOPICS THE BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE LAKES AT EAST KENT. NOW COMING INTO FAVOR AS A SUMMER
 RESORT.

To anyone who delights in wild and rugged scenery, trip to the Spectacle lakes on the mountains in East Kent would give great satisfaction. The most direct way to reach the lakes IS from Kent, the lakes being reached after a hard climb of aboIt four miles, It was the writer's pleasure to ap- proach this section from the south west. From the residence of Rev Mark Rowland on the hill northeast of South Kent, a sweeping and beauti- full view is had of the Housatonic val ley, with the hills of MizZen Top and the ridges about New Milford in plain view. To sit on his veranda is feast for the eyes. One is reminded of the words of the Psalmist, "As the noun tains are round about Jerusalem" etc. From MT Howland's residence in Geer district to the lakes the distance is about three and one-half miles. The road is rough and the country rOugher. A number of deserted farms are passed on the way, reminding one of the glory of earlier days. Passing through the dense woods our friend, MT Rowland, pointed little family cemetery fenced in by a stone wall and was grown up to brush and large trees. Through the brush could be seen the tops of the marble slabs marking the last rest Ing place of David Warehouse, his wife and son. On the stone marking David Warehouse s resting place is found this inscriptions:
