r. justified of his belief that Sun

York. There is constantly growing
attendance as his season Mt the New
German Theatre advances. and Nestcr-
day afternoon the house was filled by
an audience that showed its apprecia-
t5on by the heartiest kind of applause.
An incident that might have had Sc
Yious consequences bur happily was an
incident only marked the occasion.
While the piano soloist was playing
smoke crept into the auditorium, &C
companied by an unmistakable odor of
burning paper and rags. There were
whispers OF uneasiness, shufllns in
seats, a cranirpy of necks and more or
less stately exit of women and men
from every part of the house. The
pianist became nervous under the strain,
but kept bravely on. and most people
retained their composure. When the
number was finished Mr.. Klein APP
peared and explained that there was
not the slightest danger There had

wind had driven the smoke into the

has set to music. lie also sang the
baritone solo of William q. HammOnd's
"Lochinvar." accompanied by the COM

his usual skill in the other numbers.

Why Quality is Reduced

Just now the United States laws don't protect

Milk, because the standard has been relaxed.
The law is not enforced.
There is much competition and great tempta-

can be reduced.
Van Camps Milk has not been reduced in
price (your grocer will tell you that and we
positively guarantee you the quality has not

1t is wise to give it to you. So quality is what

Don't Pay for Water

You can afford to pay milk price for water
That is one reason why you should insist on
Van Camps.
Another reason is this: Our COWS are in

dairies are sanitary-cleaniness is carried to
extremes.
In Van Camps, every means known to
science is employed to protect you. Do you
know this of other milks?

How Quality is Reduced

1t is just question of evaporation, One
third of the water of raw milk can be taken out
by evaporation or twice as much water can be
taken out. The resulting product of both proc
esses will look and taste much alike.
But stop and think of the difference in cost.
Realize how it will be when you come to dilute
the milk for use.

CONDENSED Milk"is different product.
CONDENSED Milk, by weight, is hardly more
than half milk. The other half is the sugar
used to preserve it. Because of that sugar

Van Camps is nothing but milk We add no

PAPAL STATE SECRETARY TO Re.
TIRE.

ROME, Oct. 9.-The probable retire
ment of Cardinal Merry del Val from
the all-important post of papal secre-
tary Of state, which is said to have
been brought about by representations
made to the Vatican by American and
English prelates, adds another argu
ment to the contention that the genius
of diplomacy, like that of poetry and
oratory, is heaven born, something
which careful nursing in the most ia
vorable atmospheres cannot produce.
When young Manager Rafaele Merry
del Val, as he then was, visited Amer
lea in 1896, intrusted with the task of
ironing out the religious creases made
in Canada's politics by the Manitoba
school dispute, his first important mis-
sion, distinguished American lawyer,
who met the papal ablegate twice, said
of him: "Mgr. Merry del Val is dip
lomacy personified and idealized.
The responsibilities and difficulties
Of Merry del val's office, particularly
since the rupture with France, may
be urged as an explanation of his short
comings. OF all the diplomatic posts in
the world, that of papal secretary Of
state unquestionably requires the high

of the board of health to remind the
10000 sufferers that the season is over.
1t all came about because one of the
main doctors on the board had a call
at about 4 O'Clock Tuesday morning,
and while responding he noticed that
there was frost con the punkins. He
Immediately got busy, and at yester,
days meeting Informed the other drug
dispensers of his discovery and it was
unanimously adopted that the hay fe-
yer season is over.
The fact that yesterday was SIS in the
shade, that the air was full of pollen
and that 10000 were sneezing their
heads off, and were buying the haber-
dashery stores handkerchiefless, did
not alter the fact that the season was
over.
An October frosts Presto, change!
and an October sneeze becomes influ-
enza and cold instead of hay fever
From now on the treatment will be
quinine, hot lemonade and hot foot
baths instead of imported French nasal

CHICAGO FIRE ANNIVERSARY

Chicago fire, one of the most disastrous
conflagrations in the history of mod

celebrated, but several societies, among
them the Old Settlers and Pioneers, al
ways hold anniversary meetings to ex-
change "reminiscences of the exciting
events that followed the act of Mrs.

the burning kerosene lamp in its stable
on DeKoven street
The great Chicago fire burned about
"a hours and during that time destroyed
within a district about four miles long

est degree of diplomatic ability prop.
erly to discharge its functions. Other
secretaries of state have soldiers and
battleships to give weight to their de
mands and they can negotiate with
the practical international currency of
military or commercial favors and con-
cessions.
The papal secretary of state, how
ever, is the pope's army and navy and
treasury. What he wants he must OBJ
tain by skillful show of right, and for
diplomatic concessions he must offer
mutual advantages, sometimes moral,
sometimes spiritual, sometimes senti-
mental, but always intangible. The
church having spiritual subjects all
over the world and comprising two
fifths of Christendom, the secretary
must preserve, if possible, friendly re-
lations with all nations, although the
nations themselves are in constant dis
cord. To maintain his equilibrium
upon this whirling. diplomatic ball,
Merry del Val has high qualifications
in that sort of acrobatics, but he has
also his vulnerable points, and recent
circumstances and events have been
precisely those best calculated to bring
out his diplomatic shortcomings.
