Dainty Salads for Hot Weather,

With The coming of the hot weather,
heavy roast meats and the vegetables
that are their accOmpaniments should
disappear from the luncheon and din
ner table, to be replaced by more fan
ciful and less substantial dishes and
delicious fresh vegetables.
Cold meat. chops or a savory little
stew will pass unchalenged if their is
an attractive salad to make amends.
In making French dressing use two
kinds Of vinegar. Paragon and pure
cider vinegar. Rubbing the dish that
it is to be made in or adding a tiny
pinch of ground cloves, adds piquancy
to the flavor.
To make a salad dressing that quite
equals :hc regular mayonase but that
takes only Il few minutes to prepare,
beat two eggs until there is no sign of
$trinGincSS, add two tablcSpoonfuls of
vinegar, one teaspoonful of water and
one quarter tcaSpoonful of salt Stir
constantly over a moderate tire until
the consistency of a thin custard, take
from the fire and add a half teaspoon
full of mustard and q dash of cayenne
pepper and a level teaspocnful OF but

gradually just enough olive oil to fla

Canning Hints.

Before putting fruit in glass jars
wash them in soapsuds containing a
little soda. Then rinse Wc!l with -cald-
ing water and set in the sun to Try.
If you want the llavor of the fruit to
como cut well do not use an excess Of
cugar.
Never use poor fruit for canning.
The best is none TOO good. Let it be
a., fresh as poSsib! and not over-ripe.
Handle it as little as possible.
Have everything in readiness before
YOU begin operations. The woman Who
has to run to pantry or kitchen eve"y
time Il thing = wanted makes herself
double the work that's necessary.
ise the best grade of sugar Il may
cost a little more than the ordinary,
but it will make your fr.4it enough bet-
ter to pay the difference in cost
Do not stir your fruit when it is
cooking If you want to know how 1t
is coming along take out piece of 1t
without disturbing the rest.
Give it a brisk boiling. ii allowed to
stand and simmer It vii! not retain its
shape we'll,
When the cans are ready fnr sealing
sec that he covers fl perfectly. Never
use one thai does not hug down tightly
to the shoulder of the jar.

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 COW in your
kitchen. Rich milk or cream always on
tap. And always fresi-always the
same.
Yet such milk, in such shape, costs
YOU actually less than raw milk bought
az you want it.

from left overs" String beans make
an especially good salad by adding a
little chopped cold meat, mixing with
the above dressing and placing on crisp
lettuce leaves.
Tomato salad with horseradish dress
ing is delicious. Scald, peel and chill a
number Of medium sized tomatoes cut
each in half -crosswise, arrange in a
nest of lettuce leaves. Mix together one
tablespoonful of freshly grated horse
radish root, one tablespoonful of vine
gar, dash of cayenne pepper and
quarter teaspoonful of salt Add this
to four tablespconfuls of thick cream
whipped to stiff, froth. On each to-
mato put a tablespoonful of the dress
ing and dust lightly with paprika.
Egg and cheese salad is another
Summer DAINTY. Place half a dozen
eggs i'm cold water and let simmer for
half an hour; then chill, shell and cut
them into quarters. Line a salad bowl
with lettuce leaves and fill with alter
nate layers of egg and grated cheese,
sprinllling with French dressing. Let
stand for ten minutes. garnish with
more grated cheese and finally cut
pickles and serve with a small bowl of
the dressing.
Tomato Jelly salad is novel and at
tractlVe. 10 one quart of canned or
fresh stewed tomatoes add one medi-
um-sized onion, sliced, two teaspoon
rus OF sugar, pepper, salt, a dash of
cayenne pepper. and a stalk of celery
or half teaspoonful of celery salt.
Cover and let boil for twenty minutes.
Strain through q fine sieve and to the
juice add half box of gelatin. dis
Owed in little hot water. Pour into
very small cups or half fill custard
cups. When set and chilled run a thin
knife blade around the edge to free it
from the cup; arrange in nests of let
tuce leaves. pour a tablespoonful of
mayonaise around each and serve. This
is delicious.

Today Make One Dish
With Van Camps Milk
That all we Compare with the milk that get from
mian Judge Half Of neighbors
have done already Ask them what they think of Van Camps

built without wood. We make a bust
ness of cleanliness.
Then the milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed. Not q 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 reason for taking such
risks when you can get Van Camps?

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.

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 water, which you can
put back when you get it.
1t is simply pure milk-nothing but
milk-put up in convenient and ster-
ilZed form.
Analysis shows about 80 per cent of
solids, of which 8 per cent is butter fat.

AS for the milk that you drink, and
your children drink, there can be no
question about it. Raw milk, like raw
meat, is an unfit food.
Every drop Of raw milk carries dan
ger Of germ infection. People who know
this danger will not take that risk.
But Van Camps is not solely for
drinking. It is the best milk in the
world for cooking-best for coffee-best
for any use. Yet it is cheaper than milk
mans milk.
One ten-cent can will be enough to
convince you. Won't you order that can
today?

No Germs-No Danger.

But the great fact about Van Camps
is the fact that it's germless milk.
Our cows are inspected; SO are the
men who milk them. There are no tuber-
cular cows, no diseased milkmen, to con-
vey their infections to Van Camps Milk.
Our diaries are sanitary. Our fac

herself, with little aid.
The recreation of the home for sum-

When you take the carpets up to be

quite commendable for the room that

replace the heavy rugs.
