What Railroad Man Wants,
Says YOakum.

FARMINGDALE, /. /. Aug. 1.-The
railroad worker today is looking around
for the party which holds out the most
encouraging hope for the quick return
Of prosperity 10 all classes, according
TO .. F. YOakum. chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Rock Island
Frisco lines.
Yoakum stated that through the pres
ent depression in trade, railroad en-
ployes are losing 81 100000 daily. one
quarter of them are put Of employment
and living on their rapidly diminishing
savings.
On railroad work generally, Yoakum
says that the construction OF new lines
has almost entirely ceased, and for
every LOO miles OF new track that are
not built, 5000 men lose employment.
The railroads are purchasing supplies
at the rate of S5O0,000,OO0, instead of

Yoakum believes, will have a marked
influence upon the political situation al

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 diaries are uncleanly. 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.

VIRGINIA HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug.
l1.-William n. Mitchell by profession
is a railroad man, and by personal in
clination an orator and politician. He
is here now, and today he told the
story of how he narrowly escaped nom
mating Roosevelt for a second elective
term" at Chicago last June.
Mr.. Mitchell is the Southern traffic
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, and he comes from the State of
Georgia, He can make silver-tongued
speech In the course OF ordinary con-
versation, and his friends sometimes
carry cowbells with them so as TO wake
him up when he has got too high into
the clouds Of great thoughts and great
er words.
His story Of what he almost did for
Roosevelt is a wonder. fun OF ideas
and failure. He tells it with many fig

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.

VAN CLEAVE ANSWERS
BRYAN'S ARGUMENTS
Attacks Various Planks of
the Platform" Tariff Re-
form" Is Tariff An
Inhalation.

NEW YORK, Aug thames w Van
Cleave, president of the National AS
ISOLATION OF Manufacturers, yesterday
made public the following reply to Mr..
Bryan:
IN an article entitled Denver's APP
peal TO the Business Man published in
American Industries of July -. I gave.
in an impartial, non-partisan way, q
few reasons why the men engaged ia
all sorts of trade in the country should
vote against the candidate OF the Den
yer convention
mir. Bryan makes a reply IN an
article headed The Business Man and
the Masses which has been published
in full in his paper. the Commoner, and
which has been printed in a summarized
form in many journals throughout the
country.
Mr.. Bryan takes for a text the con-
GLIDING paragraph in my article, which
runs thus: It is the duty OF American
business men, regardless Of their party,
10 bury Bryan and Organism under
such an avalanche of votes in 1865 that
the work Will not have to be done over
again in 1912, or ever.
Mr.. Van CIeave then discusses several
of the blanks OF the Democratic plat
form. He attacks the injunction plank
as a reflection on the courts, declares
that the tariff reform advocated by
Bryan is in reality tariff annihuatlon'
and denounces the plan 10 guarantee
bank deposits as vicious pIoFi9loh'
which would penalize the honest bank

Best for Children.

Immigrant babies, when they
arrive IN New York, are fed on
Van Camps Milk.
They are fed under the di-
rection of physicians who know
the importance of germless milk.
The milk that is best for those
children is certainly best for
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
flavor is due to sterilization. It
signifies a germless milk. Chill
dren can drink all they want of it,
without 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.
Sold by all grocers IN SC and
1Oc cans. Buy it a case or two
at a time-it's much cheaper and
more convenient.
The Washington times., 1908-08-17
A Cow In the Kitchen.

Van Camps means a cow in
your kitchen. Rich milk or cream
all you want, when you want it.
No waiting for the milkman,
no shortage, no waste.
Yet it's even cheaper than raw
milk.
Van Camps is as thick as thick
cream. So thick that you add
one part water for coffee. Yet it
doesn't cost half what you pay
your milkman for cream.
Add two parts water and you
have rich milk. And the cost of
such milk, when you buy Van
Camps by the case, runs about
three cents per pint.
Then you have no waste-no
milk left over. That saving alone
is enormous.
The Washington times., 1908-08-17
Nothing but Milk.

Don't think of Van Camps as
condensed milk, for condensed
milk is half sugar. Van Camps
is nothing but milk.
We simply take the richest of
Holstein milk, and evaporate two
thirds of the water.

that the monument might rest in

THE DEATH OF POPULIsM

There is nothing more significant
in the recent statement as to the
total vote polled by the several
political parties than the smallness
of the number of ballots cast for the
candidate of the Populist Party, Thos.
E. Watson, of Georgia In all he
received but 1851 votes in the
entire country, and of these about
one-half were cast for him in Geor-
gia, where he still retains some
shreds of his former great popular
ity as a political leader.
The decadence of the old Popu-
list party is at once apparent. 1t is
doubtful if it will ever again make
its appearance in a national contest.
1t has practically been officially
pronounced dead and buried, with
Watson as the undertaken who Off
ciated at the last obsequies.
Sixteen years ago the Peoples, or
Populist. or Third party, as it was
yariously referred to, gave promise
of becoming one of the great parties
of the nation. In that year, with
Gen. James B. Weaver as it's presi-
Dental candidate, it polled, 1,041 ,02S
votes. In the following campaign,
Bryan's memorable first fight for the
presidency, it consolidated it's for
tunes with those of Democracy. Four
years ago it appeared again in the
political arena, with Watson as its
candidate, and received 117,1S3 This
year, as stated above, its total
strength had diminished to less
than forty thousand
Populism has disappeared, but
many of its ideas have become graft
ed, as it were, upon the Democratic
party. In a sense it was an educa-
tional party. Some of it's theories
were wild and woolly, calculated, il
it had succeeded at the polls, to
thoroughly unsettle business and
destroy the national fabric of credit
But it served, in it's demonstrative
way, to direct public attention tc
evils that existed and did it's share
in bringing about reforms that were
needed. 1t served a useful purpose
no doubt, but having served that
purpose fully had degenerated into
the mere machine of personal spleen
It's death was the inevitable result
1t is probably just as well that il
has been carried to the charne
house where dead parties of the
| past lie buried.
