Trustee Wisdom thought the motion a move in the right dir- The children could put Single Copies 4 cents AGAIN RUNNING 'Thoroughly Modern in Every Respect--Capacity of ~150 Bbls. per Day. The Fisher Flour Mills, which 'vere destroyed by fire on June 18, have been re-built "bigger and better than ever" and the merry hum of the machinery, which was put in motion this week, made Pleasant music for Mr. Fisher and his staff, who have watched the steady progress of re-con- struction for several months. The new mill is a three-storey structure of concrete and rein- foreed steel and is thoroughly modern in every respect. When running full time the mills have a@ capacity of 430 to 150 barrels of flour per da¥ and the chopper can turn out 100 lbs. per minute. When first received into the mill the wheat is conveyed to different tanks and bins. It is then run into the cleaning machine, which consists of re- ceiving separator, scouner and brush machine. From here the wheat goes to bins over the rolls, of which there are six double The first are called and the later stands "reducers" or "grinders." Afler every passage through the rolls the stock is carried up and deposited in sifters on the top floor. There are two of these making over forty different sep- arations in these two sets of machines. The top floor also has three centrifugal reels and one plain reel, the latter for dressing bran and feed. The second flopr has three purifiers, one brass duster, one McPheeley grinder and two dust collectors, also a-fan for cooling rolls, which generate heat dur- ing process of grinding. There is also a power packer apd a number of bins for the storage of different grades of stock. The main or roll floor has, as aforementioned, six double stands of rolls which discharge trough flour and feed the elevators which carry stock back to the top floor and the different machines aforementioned, The spouting is of the latest and most approvec type, called "the diamond system" and is so constructed that were a given quantity poured in at the top of mill the same amount would be delivered at destina- tion. The old or square system lost or left a lot of first stock on the way, which when later disturbed was liable to be sour and cause trouble to the baker There is 2600 feet of spouting, all hand made. The whole syster is so constructed that not a han: touches a particle of flour on its way. The wheat, after it leaves the farmer's bag or the car, is carried to bins and from there runs by gravity to the next opera- tion and so on throughout the entire way. In fact, the first touch of the hand is by the good housewife in baking bread. As before the fire, the feed mill is in a separate building' and equipped with Greey machinery, while the mill proper is equippe« with Canadian Allis-Chalmer: machinery, built at Stratford This was installed by their mill- wrights, assisted by a number o local men superintended by J. G. 'Schmidt of Stratford, who did the same work on the mill which was destroyed last June.

The jury attached thig rider to their verdict: "On account of the curve in the track, and the short distance the train can be seen approaching the station, we would recommend that an electric signal, gate, or alarm of some improved type, be installed to warn the public of the approaching train. Also that a speed limit of not more than five miles per hour, over the crossing, be ordered, and that a copy of this verdict be. sent to the proper railway authorities." The witnesses examined in. cluded Mrs. John Stewart, who was standing on the station Platform 'at the time and saw the accident. The freight con- ductor also saw the accident, and fave his evidence. Statements. were also taken from Joseph Weir, two railway officials, and the fireman of the "National." All witnesses agreed that the fatality was purely accidental and that no blame could be attached to the "National" crew, The inquest was in charge of Dr. McLeay of Gravenhurst, in the absence of. the official, cor, oner, Dr. MeGibbon. Crown Attorney Johnston of Brace. bridge represented the Crown, The Funeral The funeral of Harry Coughey took place on Saturday afternoon, Service was held at the residence of his father-in-law, Geo. Hill, Sophia St, and was conducted by Rev. Geo. A. Brown, assisted by Rev. Herman Moore. Many floral expressions of sympathy surrounded the casket. From the house the funeral proceeded to Crown Hill cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest, the burial service being read by Rey; G. A. Brown. Deceased being a member of an I. O. 0. F. lodge in New Brunswick, six members of Barrie Lodge acted as pall. bearers These were J. _ Billingsley, H. G. Robertson, Albert Bryson, H. J. Twiss, W. Gough and D. Gauley. -------------- + ran with a smoothness that testi- fied to the accuracy and thor~ oughness with which the mas chinists have done their work Preventing Tuberculosis Those who heard the very practical address given by Dr, Lewis on Friday evening last, on "Tuberculosis, a Preventable Di. sease," were greatly privileged. The speaker said that milk trom tubercular cows was one of the causes of the disease, but said that many herds were tested, so as to eliminate diseased animals, and expressed the belief that the Government would soon employ inspectors to see that all dairy herds were healthy. He said that whooping cough, measles in older children, and pleurisy: left tha system susceptible, and care should be taken to keep the con- valescénts dry, prevent loss of sleep, and provide a light, but nourishing diet. Bylaws forbid. ding public expectoration should not only be enacted, but enforced, A great deal could be done by educating school children con cerning care of the body, bene fits of sunlight, fresh air, etc., as a preventative of dubercul. osis. An unanimous vote of thanks was passed at the closa of the address to Dr. Lewis, who said in reply that if he had by his address planted one seed that would bring forth fruit in a fight against disease he was more than repaid. ----___ Penny Bank Deposits Barrie Penny Bank deposits for. the last two months of 191& .|8veraged 17 cents per pupil.
