It's Economical.

Van Camp's-with all of its good
ness-is cheaper than miIkman's milk
It's 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 mil for cream.
Add two parts water and you have
rich milk. The cost of such milk, when
you buy Van Camps by the case, runs
about six cents per quart.
Then you have no waste-no milk left
over. That saving in a year is enormous.
And Van Camps means a COW in your
kitchen. Rich milk or cream always on
tap. And always fresh-always the
same.
Yet such milk, in such shape, costs
yes actually less than raw milk bought
as you want it.

For Children.

When immigrant babies arrive in New
York they are fed on Van Camps Milk.
Their food is prescribed by physicians
by men who know the dangers that lurk
in raw milk
TwO-thirds the mortality OF children
is due simply to germs in milk.
Raw milk, like raw meat, is an unfit
food. There is too much danger of germ
infection.
Let your children drink Van Camps.
They will come to love the slight almond
flavor, due to sterilization. For that
flavor means that the milk is pare. Not

There is no reason why this cannot be done with out indulging in personalities or as sailing the motives of those who might not agree with them. A per son who cannot do this has no busi- ness filling a public position. The matter of taxation is debatable question and the estimates rarely go through without a battle. Never eX- cept where the mayor and board of finance are republican and the ma jority representation in the alder men are of the same political party have they been known to pass being torn to pieces, so that the little ex- change of opinions last night is noth- ing at all unusual.

PLAYING WITH MATCHES
Bremen Were Called to Block
 Owned by Frank Brothers.

About 3 o'clock this afternoon the fire department was called by Box 312 to a tenement block at 2S0 Bank street owned by Frank Broth CTS The children of Frank Lehman who resides on the third floor were playing with matches in a bed room and ignited the bed clothing. The blaze might have assumed serious proportions had it not been discov- cred by employees of the Southern New England company who saw it from their building. Patrolman John Bowling, who is on duty in that sec. tion hastened to the house and after a while located the three children in different rooms. The oldest was not more than years and the youngsters were poorly clad Not one of them had either shoes or stock ings on. and they were apparently left in the house alone.
 The Leavenworth. Brooklyn, Bur ton and Scovill street companies answered the alarm but the first was put out with the chemical extinguish- CTS. The damage was slight. The Leavenworth firemen perhaps got out of their house as quickly this afternoon as they ever did going to fire, A reporter had just asked Captain Heitman eff there was any thing doing" and the captain no more than answered No" when the alarm sounded.
