SPRECKLES MAKES WAR
ON SUGAR TRUST HEADS

New York, Jan. 7.--Claus A. Spreckles,
years waged trade war against the
American Sugar Refining company, has
taken up arms against the present man
agement OF the Sugar Trust In an effort
TO lift the veil OF corporate secrecy which
the late president Of the company, II. o,
Havemeyer, stoutly maintained against
the demands OF all the stockholders.
Mr. Spreckles is stockholder OF re-
cord OF the American Sugar Refining
company. holding $500 shares of the pre-
ferred stock. lie asserted yesterday that
he Is the largest stoclholder OF record
and that the directors. so far as the list
shows, are comparatively small holders.
III. O. Havemeyer he found had only lSf
shares OF common stock and q shares OF
preferred stock In his name at tho time
OF his death.
Mr.. spreckles' charges against the
American Sugar Refining company. as re-
lated TO a reporter yesterday, are sensa-
tional. Aside from inferences drawn that
the directors own only little OF the COM
pany's stock. Mr.. Spreckles says that
the company has no surplus such as was
stated in its last report To the secretary
OF state OF Massachusetts. and that the
company has included In its assets q
dozen or so dismanted plants. valued at
absurdly high figures.

Protection From Moths.

A knowledge of how to prevent the
depredationS of moths is desired by all
housekeepers, who find the inroadS
from these persistent little pests very
trying. The first step is to remove
every article from closets, Wardrobes
and other reccptacles where wooden
clothing is to be stored. Clothes moths
have a decided aversion for neWSpa
perS, and it is well to cover every shelf
with them. Moths delight in feaStng
on furs, bird wings and other orna-
mentS in millinery, and before putting
them away be sure they are thorough
ly clean; then put them i'll paper boxes,
with turpentine or camphOr in the box
then paste strips of paper over the
joining Of the bandbaX and cover. If
there is any break in the box, paste on
a piece Of cloth and let the box remain
out until the sealing is dry, then pack
away in the closet until needed i'll the
fall. Securely fasten muffs or other
pasteboard boxes in which garments
are to be put away in the same man
ner. 1t is not the packing material
that saves the goods SO much as the
beating and cleaning which most
housewives give wooden articles before
putting them away. All blankets that

The Good Cook Knows

That by sailing the water when
poaching eggs they are rendered winter
and clearer. A certain French cook
adds half tablespoonful of vinegar
to every two quarts of water when
poaching eggs.
That pork sausages are less greasy
when broiled. Prick the skin OF each
sausage once in the center before cook-
ing
That pulled bread is delicious with
SOUP. To make it, cut crusts from a
loaf of bread just from the oven. With
a fork pull the bread apart into strips
FIVE inches long and quite thin. Dry
them in a slow oven until crisp and
delicate brown. They are often used
at formal dinners.
That ordinary fried eggs are delicious
with Drowned butter. Put three table
spoonfuls Of butter in frying-p Set
the pan over brisk fire. Let the but
ter turn a light brown color, then add
two teaspoonfuls of good vinegar.
Shake the pan slightly to mix the but-
ter and vinegar well. Then pour 1t
around and over the eggs. Serve i'm
mcGiately.

JelIied Vegetables.

"Jellied vegetables are particularly
suitable for a luncheon or supper dish
to be served as an accompaniment to
almost any kind of cold sliced meat"
says Fannie Merritt Farmer in Wo-
mans Home Companion. Remove the
jelly to a serving dish. and surround
with the slices of the meat overlapping
one another; then garnish with celery
tips. Cold meat needs to be very
thinly sliced to be at it's best, therefore
do see to it that the closet can boast
of sharp knives, for without them the
work cannot be perfectly done. Soak
one tablespoonful of granulated gela-
tine in one fourth of cupful of cold
water, and dissolve in one cupful
of boiling water: then add one
fourth of a cupful each of sugar and
vinegar, two tablespoonfuls Of lemon
juice and one tablespoonful of salt
Strain, cool, and when beginning to
stiffen add one cupful of finely shred
ded cabbage and one and one half
canned piInentoes cut in small pieces.
Turn into a mold, and chill thorough

Make Your Milk Dishes
With Whole Milk.

You don't get the whole milk when
you buy from the milkman The reason
is this:
Milk that stands awhile separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall.
So you get all the butter fat only when
served from the top Of the can.
Thus you are surprised, when you first
cook with Van Camps, at the delicious
flavor it gives to a milk dish. You Won
der what we have added-what we have
done to make the milk seem so good.
We have added nothing at all. Van
Camps is simply the whole, rich milk,
just as it comes from the cow You get
all of the butter fat all of the solids.
You never get them all in raw milk.
That flavor belongs to your cooking.
You will get it every time in milk dishes
made with Van Camps.
We issue Cook Book-free. 1t tells
how to make all sorts of milk dishes
and gives the whole cost of each. Ask
us to send it to you.

It's Economical.

Van Camp's-with all of it's good:
ness-is cheaper than milkman'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 milkman 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 year is enormous.
And Van Camps means a COW in your
kitchen. Rich milk or cream always on
tap. And always fresh-aiways the
same.
Yet such milk, in such shape, costs
YOU actually less than raw milk bought
as you want it.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1908-07-14

Our dairies are sanitary. Our fac
tories. where the milk is evaporated, are
built without wood. We make a bust
ness of cleanliness.
Then the milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed. Not a germ of any kind
can remain in it.
Please think what that means.
In Washington, ID. c., it was recently
found that II per cent of the dealers
were selling tubercular milk. Seven per
cent of the milk. taken from 400 sam
pies, proved fatal to guinea pigs. The
pigs died of tuberculosis.
That's but one of the risks you take
in using raw milk. Any disease germ
that gets into milk breeds millions more
like it within few hours.
A great deal of illness is known to be
due to infections conveyed by milk. Can
YOU think of Il reason for taking such
risks when you can get Van Camps?

Renovatina, a Blouse.

Surprising the yoke of waist has
become soiled or shabby, it may be
brought up to date with very little
trouble by substituting one of net, the
braidirg on it to be simple, just rows
one after the other, or as elaborate as
one chooses. When a waist is worn
under the arms it could be neatly
mended and kimono sleeves of the net
added. They would cover the mend
ed portions. These caps should be
hemmed with a strip of the waist
material, if available, and if not, then
plain piece of ribbon harmoniZing in
color with the waist may be used.
Another economy is to use narrow
ribbon that has done service on a
summer frock-to form a yoke and
deep cuffs. 1t is put on in alternating
rows with fagoting or sewed down to
a coarse net. This kind of arrange
ment freshens a waist.
If one has any nice lace on hand,
even though of different kinds, then it
might be good idea to buy a couple
of yards of filet or Brussels net, COM
bining the two in smart waist for
afternoon or matinee wear.

To Clean Tan Leather.

The knowledge that tan leather Is
hard to clean at home keeps a great
many people from wearing it as much
as they would like.
Unless one is very careful the ef-
forts of renovating make it become

Heavy tan gloves, which are almost
every ones greatest comfort, can be
kept in good condition by taking a
damp rag and rubbing it over the
surface This removes the dirt and
restores the original color.

ers herself in the latest style without,

Nothing But Milk.

Van Camps is simply rich, Holstein
milk with twothirds the water evapo-
rated.
1t is not like condensed milk, which
is half sugar. You can't use condensed
milk in cooking.
In Van Camps, nothing whatever is
added-no sugar, no starch, no pre-
sentative. And nothing is subtracted,
save part of the wafer, which you can
put back when you get it,
It is simply pure milk-nothing but
milk-put up in Il convenient and ster-
ilZed form.
Analysis shows about 80 per cent of
solids, of which s per cent is butter fat.

cretonnes in Bedroom.

OF the various materials shown IN
the shops, nothing is daintier than
cretonne for a bedroom. There is a
freshness and crispness about the
material that gives a homelike atmos-
phere. The first thing to do is to
choose a pretty and artistic design, for
there are some figures shown that
would not be appropriate if used
throughout in the furnishings of
room. Bureau scarfs. table covers and
bedspreads can all be made of the
chosen material. The walls should be
covered with paper of light tone-say
a floral design-that will harmonic
with the cretonne. A plain stripe in
pale blue and white. running two
thirds the height from the Dashboard
and surrounded by a photograph rail-
while the upper third is decorated with
lattice floral paper to harmonize
The ceiling either of plain white plas-
ter or white MORE paper bordered for
about fifteen or eighteen inches by a
continuation Of the floral design, will
be a great addition. If pictures are to
be hung in the bedroom, a paper of in
conspicuous design must be used, and
in this case a decorative frleze will add
to the beauty. These come in a
variety of designs and figures.
The floor, of course. should be OF
hardwood, and if this is not possible.
it should be painted. Several rag rugs
are most appropriate if carefully
selected. The woodwork and furniture
are most attractive if of white enamel.
In such room shirt waist and hat
boxes covered with cretonne and set
ting in white enameled frames are not
only useful but quite ornamental.
The toilet articles should be of either
| ivory or celluloid with the initials or
monogram in the prevailing color OF
| the room.

Their food is prescribed by physicians
by men who know the dangers that Turk

Two-thirds the mortality of children

Raw milk. like raw meat. is an unfit
food There is too much danger of germ

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 pure. Not
