Thousands OF women ask this ::
Why does Van Camps. when
used in my cooking, seem so much
richer than milk
What has been added? Why
SO delicious a flavor"
We add nothing at all.
Van Camps is nothing but milk
rich Holstein milk-with two
thirds the water evaporated.
The results surprise YOU when
you first cook with it. You never
knew milk was so rich.
But the trouble has been that
you did not get the whole milk.
Milk that stands awhile sepa-
rates. Then from the top YOU get
one part. from the balance another.
Sometimes YOU get the top
milk. sometimes the middle, some
times the bottom.
And it's all different.
In Van Camps. ior the first
time. YOU get the whole milk as it
comes from the cow.
You get all OF the butter fat,
all of the solids.
When YOU learn what that
means. YOU will never again use
mifkmans milk in your cooking.
And YOU even save money by
using Van Camps. :
It's as thick as thick cream. SO
thick that you add one part water
for coffee.

NEW YORK. May II, 1905.
The public service commission of New
York has been in operation for ten
months. It represents the most radical
experiment ever undertaken in municipal
regulation of corporations and public
utilities: hence every city in the Unit ed
States is interested in its progress, lts
methods and the results 1t attains. The
law passed by the legislature last year
gives the commission autocratic powers
over transportation lines. gas and electric
light and power companies. and two at
tennis have been made to bring the tele-
graph and telephone lines under the
same Jurisdiction. but they have falleo.
The street car lines, the elevated roads
the subway the tunnels. the bridges ana
the ferries, however, are under the direct
supervision of the board In every respect
from the initial step toward organization
to the arranging OF schedules, the DOCK
keeping and everything else.
The management OF the pubic utiiitles
in New York city have accepted the sit
uation cheerfully have bowed to the
Jurisdiction of the board. have met the
members half way In their EFFORTS 10 I'M
prove the public service, and thus FAR In
every case the railway companies have
commission. This is largely due to the
tact and judiciOus conduct of the com
missioners. They cannOnt be too highly
complimented for the manner in which
they have performed their duties. the
success of the new law may be attrib-
shown by Gov. Hughes in selecting the
personnel to carry IL into effect.

Seating Capacity Increased.

The commission next went into an
investigation of the physical condition
of the municipal transportation lines, and
compelled the management to improve
and increase the service to the great re-
lief Of the public.
We have added - 900. 900 seats per an
mum to the capacity of the cars, said
Mr.. Wilcox. the chairman OF the commits
sion. More than 5000 additional pas
sengers can be carried per day In the
cars that have been added by our orders
In the rush hours. between and clock
in the morning and 4:3O and o'clock at
night we don't pretend TO give every
body a seat. bu. at least 1j,OO.OOO strap
hangers will be accommodated with seats
by the additional cars.
THE new 'pay-as-yOu-enter cars, whiC h
have become SO popular in Chicago and
Montreal" continued MIR. Wilcox. have
been equally successful here upon sew
introduced at our suggestion. The rail-
way companies have not made official re-
ports yet. but they will accommodate
from 10 TO 20 per cent more passengers
than the old cars and it Is estimated that
the management will save anywhere from
Sl,WO.OOO to $2.OOOOOO a year by prevent
ing the conductors from knocking down
and by securing the thousands of fares
that were overlooked every day. Ulti-
mately it is proposed to adopt a box In
which the passenger will drop his own
fare that the conductor will not ham
die the money at all except to make
change. But the managers are waiting
for the people to get used to the new
system first
Many Dishonest Conductors.
The officers of the railway companies
show that last year 1854 conductors were
discharged on the surface lines Of this

sons was 1924. and the number in 1893
was 3,OlI. AS there are only about 1900
conductors altogether on the surface
lines in New York you will observe that
their employment averages less than six
months and the managers say that sew
tanned whom they knew to be dishonest
simply because they were efhcient in
other respects and the company could not
better the situation by hiring others. Inc
new payas-yOu-enter cars require every
passenger to deposit his own fare I'm the
box and that will prevent conductors
from knocking down fares. There Is no
doubt about that, and if it Is as success
ful as expected. IL Will ada at least
$2N0,ON a year to the receipts or the
combined street railway companies.
The fare is to be dropped into a slot at
the top of a box. where it Is Immediately
registered and exposed to the view OF the
conductor, enabling him to detect bad
coins and notice who put them In. Tine

scandalous Exposures.

In reviewing the work Of the commits
sion for ten months i, is proper to speak
first OF a thorough investigation with
public hearings that was conducted by
the commission into the finances of the
street railway companies. Most scandal
lous disclosures were made. They were
already matters of common notoriety, al
though they had never been proven. They
had filled the newspapers and the pages
of the ensational magazines for years
and had furnished fruitful field for the
muck rakers." great and small. But
never before had the cold facts baen
brought out under oath or the books Of
the various companies examined to show
the amount of money that has been prac-
tically stolen from the stockholders.
The burden of bonds issued TO an I'M
suspecting public and the Overcapital liza
ton of the various railway corporations
which go to make up the Interborougn
company were shown to such an extent
that several OF them went into the hands
OF receivers at once: and it was demon
strated that even the enormous traffic
they enjoy can never sustain the load OF
interest they are carrying. The result of
the investigation was to utterly destroy
the credit of these companies. Their
stock is practically worthless. and the
consequence will be a general reorganiza.
ton of their finances upon a sound bust
ness basis. The public service commission
has done a great work in teaching the
public a lesson in business morals, but
such lessons are easily forgotten.
