Nothing whatever is addcd-no
sugar, no starch, no preservative.
Nothing is subtracted save water.
We milk, in five states, 10000
Holstein cows. Every cow is
regularly inspected. So is every
man who milks them.
Every dairy is sanitary. Every
factory, where the milk is evapo-
rated, is built without wood. We
carry cleanliness to such an ex-
treme that there is never a chance
of infection.
Then the milk is sterilized after
the cans are sealed. The milk
keeps for years as fresh as the
day we milked it.

ing action of the hand, in the milking
operation; and many such mechanisms
have been devised, some Of which are
mechanically and others pncumatically
operated.
Put such devices now known are
of complicated structure, difficult to
keep clean, costly to manufacture. and
liable to disarrangemcnt; the present
invention is to produce a simple ana
iriexucnsivc device Of this nature, re-
liable and efficient in action, and easy
to keep clean and sanitary; and to TINS
end the invention consists in an ap-
paratus constructed and operating
substantially as and uRon the principle
of the mechanism
This invention, in it's preferred me-
chanical form, comprehcnds. as its
novel clement. the feature Of a rotary
valve provided with two ports or
groups of ports 50 arranged and dis
rosed between and relatively to the
teat -cups, the source of suction. ana
the atmosphere, as to produce. under
continuous rotation thereof, alternat-
ing suction and relief effects on the
teats of the animal.
1t is the intention Of Mr.. Spraguc to
form company and place this ma
chine upon the market at once. 1t has
long been the dream of the agricul-

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 unc1eanly. 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.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-04

The fact is this:
Not a housewife in this city
will use raw milk after she knows
Van Camps.
You will never cook with half
milk when you once know the
flavor that Van Camps gives to
milk dishes.
You will never drink germ
laden milk when you know that
Van Camps is pure.
Is it not worth ten minutes to
know the truth about something
as vital as milk?
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-08-04
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, ric:l milk. You get
800 of solids-GG butter fat.
That's why all milk dishes
made with Vca 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 = book of recipes
prepared by al expert on milk
dishes. You can have it free if
you'll write us.

which is said to be vastly superior to

Some one has said that King Edward
never wears the same suit twice. This
is an exaggeration. The king ex-
changes his attire about three times a
day and consequently would need more
than 1000 new suits a year, costing
something like $4,000, if such story
were true. AS a matter Of fact. he

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

thirds Of the water.

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 Old Year.

Carrie Wright Sprague.)
Goodbye, old year! We keep in men,
ory
The days and months that came with
thee,
And learn the lessons they have taught
To help in days that yet shall be.
Some days 1t seemed that pleasures
cup
Was trimming full of love and cheer,
And all eaTth's songbirds were in tune
To make glad and joyous year.
But others came so filled with care
We scarce had time to think of aught
But wearied mind and body, too.
And chafed at what he day had
brought.
Then with no warning trouble came,
And gave us days so wrought with
pain
That hope and comfort fed far out of
reach
And joy was drowned in sorrows
heavy rain.
Still other days came, too, with broken
VOWS
And singing words and friendship so
untrue
1t seemed earth's sky had grown so
dark
The sun could ne'er again Shine
through.
Yet all are gone in unreturning flight,
And he who rules the years always
Doth teach us that the darkest hours
Are stepping stones to glorious days
So, dear Old Year, a last goodbye;
Take with thee all the wrong and
strife,
And may the New Year bring to us
The way which leads to higher
life.

DIAGNOSIS Of Appendicitis.

The following from the pen of DR..
J. r. Murphy. the eminent physician of
Chicago. concerning the diagnosis of
appendicitis. is too valuable to be al
lowed TO rest where the practicing ply
stefan cannot see it; it deserves to be
printed over and over again. Follow
ing up an experience of operating in
more than 1000 cases, DIR. Murphy
says: THE symptoms of acute appen-
dicitis are, in my experience. in the
order of their occurrence: 1, Pain in
the abdomen, sudden and severe; 2, fol-
lowed by nausea or vomiting; 8, gen.
eral abdominal constituencies; 4, eleva-
ton of temperature beginning from
two to twenty-four hours after the on
set of pain. These symptoms occur al
most without exception in the above
order, and when that order varies al
ways question the diagnosis

She Knew.

Washington public school teacher
was quoting to her pupils the sayings
of various wise men touching the value
of silence on certain occasions, when
she gave them the proverb to the effect
that W ehave one mouth and two ears,
in order that we may listen twice as
much as we speak.
A day or so after the instruction the
teacher. to see how well the lesson had
been learned, asked a girl pupil the
question, as above:
Little Mabel had forgotten the philos-
opher's maxim; but the question did
not seem difficult one to answer.
Because" said she, I'VE should not
have room in our face for two mouths,
and we should look too crooked if we
had only one ear
mo Mabel" said the teacher, that
is not the reason. Perhaps Rosalie can
tell U.S."
"Yessum," responded Rosalie, its
that way so we can let what we hear
go in at one ear and come out at the
other"

A SECRET WORTH KNOWING.

There is no reason why old age
should not be so attractive as youth
if those who are approaching the sun
set of life would only look at the mat
ter in this light Some of the most
charming individuals one can meet
are people past so, but they are of the
class who give old age a cordial re-
ception instead of saying Not at
home" when he taps at the door.
The person who grows old grace
fully looks on the bright side of things.
Cheerfulness, which is as much a
habit as anything else, brings youth in
it's train. Worries. aches and pains and
troubles soon take fight when they en-
counter mind where cheerfulness
reigns.
Truly. keeping young is. or ought
to be, one of the easiest tasks that
confront a woman. All that is ne
cessary is for her to be womanly in
every sense of the word. and the rest
follows naturally. For really womanly
women do not allow tempests and dis
sensions to find an abiding place with
them. Instead, they look for the best
in everything, giving in return the best
that is in them.
1t may cost something to be always
cheerful in the face of much tempta-
ton to be otherwise, but worry brings
wrinkles to the face, silvers the hairs,
and in the end accomplishes nothing.
