Best for Children

Van Camps Milk.

yours. Raw milk, like raw meat,
is an unfit food, because of the
danger of germ infection.
Children will find, when they
drink Van Camps cold, that the
milk has an almond flavor. That
favor is due to sterilization. It
signifies a germless milk. Chill.
dren can drink all they want of it,
without a thought of infection.
They cannot do that with raw
milk.
Those are the reasons for using
Van Camps Milk. If you think
there exists a single reason for
not using it, it is based on mis-.
taken ideas.

Van Camps is Delicious
For Cooking.

Every woman knows this who
has used Van Camps. But she
may not know the reason, which
is this:
Milk that stands awhile sepa-
rates. The butter fat rises and
the solids fall.
Then you get one sort of milk
from the top of the can, and
another sort farther down. You
never get the whole milk from
the milkman's can.
And, perhaps, you skim what
you do get before it goes into
cooking.
In Van Camps alone you get
the whole, rich milk. You get
800 of solids-8% butter fat.
That's why all milk dishes
made with Van. Camps are so
delicious. The richest of raw
milk cannot compare with it.
Once cook with Van Camps and
you never will use any other.
We publish a book of recipes
prepared by an expert on milk
dishes. You can have it free if
you'll write us.

Milk Breeds Germs:

Milk is an ideal breeding place
for germs. That is why it carries
infections.
A single germ, left in milk a
few hours, will breed millions of
others like it.
Some cows are tubercular, and
the milk from such COWS carries
the germs of consumption.
Some milk cans are washed in
water which carries the germs of
typhoid.
Some milkmen are diseased,
some dairies are unclean1y. Some
milk is subjected to foul air and
to dust.
You know nothing about this
when you buy raw milk. You
have no way of guarding your
self.
But, when you use Van Camps
Milk, you are absolutely protect
ed. There is not a germ of any
kind in it.

Scarcely had it become public when
the British foreign Office announced that
1t Was inaccursts.
These repudistions were made after

What has happened is precisely
this: Assent to the congress was OBJ
tsintd 10 principle from all the powers.
Thereupop, Great Britsiu, Russia and
France drafted q programme Of the

the only one which consulted Germany

work WAS progressing st the British
foreign Office. 1t was intended, oi
course, to submit this scheme st once to
all the signatory powers, but 1t WIS

Germany, for some reason, is angry
at thus being temporarily Ignored, and
a serious hitch has occurred. 1t remains

1925 MINERS KILLED IN 1907.
5,316 More Injured in Coal Mines
Explosions Not Wholly the Cause.

Washington, Oct 5.-Accidents in
coal mines of the United States dur
ing the last calendar year caused the
death of 3,125 men; and injury to 1916
more. The death record was greater
by 1888 than in 1906. and is said to
have been the largest in the history
of the coal-mining industry. The
figures do not represent the full ex-
tent of the disasters, as reports We're
not received from certain States
having no mine inspectors.
West Virginia reported the heaviest
death rate in 19O7-12.35 per thousand
employees, and this State also showed
the lowest production for each life
lost-65 969 tons. New Mexico stood
next with a death rate of 11.45 and a
production of 1882 tons for each life
lost Alabama was third. with a
production of 92535 tons for each life
lost Missouri had the lowest death
rate. with 95 and 499.742 tons of coal
mined for each life lost.
Statistics do not bear out the popu-
lar idea that most mine disasters re-
suit from explosions. OF the total
number reported during last year. 947
deaths and 343 injuries resulted from
gas and dust explosions. and 201
deaths and 416 injuries We're caused
by powder explosions. The chief
cause of death among the miners was
the falling of mine roofs and coal.
Such disasters caused 1922 deaths and
2,141 injuries.
