Make Your Milk Dishes
With Whole Milk.

You don't get the whole milk when
you buy from the miIkman. The reason
is this:
Milk that stands awhile separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fail.
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

You never get them all in raw milk.
That flavor belongs to your cooking.

Dr.. r. L. Lynch, District chemist,

OF the ruling Of Judge Muuowny. to the

HITCHCOCK EMPLOYS
THEODORE |. WEED
Snaus' Secretary Becomes
Right-Hand Man for G. o.
p. National Chairman.

Theodore l. Weed, private secretary
to Secretary Straus, OF the Department
Of Commerce and Labor, has left the de-
partment to become private secretary to
Chairman Hitchcock. of the Republican
national committee, and viii be located
at the New York headquarters for the
remainder Of the campaign.
1t is understood that Mr.. Weed is 70
have charge OF all the chairman's CORE
spondence, and be in charge OF the
Immediate clerical force. Mr.. Weed has
already rendered valuable services to
the chairman having spent his vacation
In the service OF Mr.. Hitchcock and
been with him in the pre-convention
work and at some Of the later confer
ences with Judge Taft and other
leaders.
Mr.. Weed is a native of Connecticut.
but has spent most of his time In Wash
ington, having graduated from the Busl~
ness High School and also taken a
course in law at George washington
University. He Is an expert stenogra-
phefy and possessed or eonsldeEaDle e1-
ecUtive ability, qualifications that have
enabled him to make a great success
with his work in the departmental
service.
From a position as clerk in the War
Department he advanced by meritoriOus
work TO the position OF assistant chief
clerk Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. from which position he was
promoted by Secretary Straus 70 pri-
Vate secretary.
Mr. Weed WIS stenographer TO Mr..
Hitchcock when the latter was chief
clerk Of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor and IL was in this relation
that Mr.. Weed obtained the training in
team work that makes him a valuable
man to the head of the Republican ma
tional committee, who is a hard and sys-
tematic worker.
A story has already res ched Wash
ington of a remarkable feat accom-
plished by Chairman Hitchcock and Sec
rotary Weed in the correspondence line
For several hours one day last week
Mr.. Weed took dictation from Mr..
Hitchcock, and his notes were passed
on 20 a corps Of seven stenographers,
who worked in relays and kept up with
the Tapid-fiTe work until the corre-
spondenCe was completed.
This is said 70 be a sample OF the way
in which things are run at Republican
headquarters. and insures, IL is claimed,
a well-couducted and spirited campaign
for the Republican nominees.

It's Economical.

Van Camp's-with all of its 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 dOesl'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 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
you actually less than raw milk bought
as you want it.
