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
favor it gives to 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. It tells
how to make all sorts of milk dishes,
and gives the whole cost of each. Ask
us to send it to you.

Three successful flights. one of which is

lie by a flying machine in America. was
made yesterday by the new Aeroplane 3.
known as the "Curtiss June Bug" which
made its maiden ascent here yesterday
under the auspices Of the Aerial Expert
ment Association.
The aeroplane in it's last flight of the
day rose smartly from the ground and
covered a distance of 1926 feet at the
rate Of thirty-four and a half miles an
hour. The flight was regarded as a par
ticularly successful feat of aviation. The
initial performance of the latest flying
machine. designed by G. H. Curtiss. was
witnessed by DR.. Graham Bell and other
members Of the association.
Weather conditions were propitious for
a flight. and with the new machine
carefully tested for its first flight there
was much expectancy among the specta-

navigator. made ready for the ascent
There was a rousing cheer as the aero
plane rose into the air and covered 456

You who still cling to the milkman-
let us show you what you lose.
Try one can of Van Camp's-a ten
cent can. Then judge what it means to
have such milk all of the time.
Try cooking with milk that has all
the butter fat in it. Try drinking a
milk that is sterilized.
See what you gain in convenience
see what you save in money. Then see
what you get-the richest, purest milk
in the world.
Can you think of reason for using
raw, germ laden milk when you can get
Van Camps?

: 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 OH
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.

Raw milk, like raw meat, is an unfit

Let your children drink Van Camps.
They will come to love the slight almond

It is not like condensed milk, which

In Van Camps, nothing whatever is

save part Of the water, which you can
put back when you get it.
1t is simply pure milk-nothing but

A GOOD JANUARY TRADE.

Since the first of the year the trade
of our large stores has been surprising
ly good, exceeding the trade done at
this period last year. The holiday sea-
son usually depletes the community of
its spare cash, and extra inducements
are required on the part of storekeep-
ers to attract a trade to clear off the
balances of their stocks.
1t would appear that during the re-
cent holidays people generally bought
much less lavishly than they did the
previous year, although the holiday
trade was satisfactory to storekeepers.
Now that the financial clouds have
rolled by the prudent ones are taking
advantage of the January sales and

trade they lost prior to the new year

gency.

threw receiving caps from their
heads, dashed down their plugs" and
rushed for refuge from the sudden

tops of stools. Some climbed to the
high central ridge of the switchboard.
Others sprang upon desks, window stills

SIS, 900 CRAFT CONSPIRACY
ALLEGED IN UNCLE SAM INK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Allegations
of fraud and graft in supplying the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
with black dry color, used in the
manufacture of ink, resulted yesterday
in the indictment by the Federal Grand
Jury here of Edwin M. VanDyck, for
merly a chemist and ink-maker en-
ployed in the bureau, and Victor G..
Bloede. president of the Victor G.
Bloede Company, of Baltimore, manu-
f~acturers of the black dry color.
VanDyck and Bloede are charged in
the indictments with conspiracy to de-
fraud the government, the allegation
being thai they entered into an agree
ment by which Bloede was to pay YAM
Dyek a percentage of the money his
company received from the govern
ment for the black dry color furnished
to the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing.
VanDyck, it is alleged, in his posi-
tion as chemist and inlkmalSer of the
bureau, had to pass upon the samples
of the color submitted by various
manufacturers. 1t is charged that he
fraudulently favored the Baltimore
company, and that as a result of the
conspiracy he was paid by Bloede, In
the course of several years, between
$70,0 900 and $4,000.
Bloede was to cause his company
each year, it is alleged, to submit bids
to the bureau to furnish hard black for
the ensuing fiscal year. When samples
were submitted they would be referred
to VanDyck, as chemist and inkmaker,
for practical test. This test, it is stated,
was conducted by VanDyck and other
employees of the bureau and they would
report to the director of the bureau
which sample was the hest and what
the other samples should have.

But Superintendent Kelly Is a brave
man.
With Napoleonic glance he took

fronted a crisis. So, covering his burn
ing face with his hand-but peeping,

INCREASE IN GERMAN TRADE.

According to a bulletin issued by the

that the tariff agreement between the
United States and Germany has thus
far proven a profitable bargain for
both countries. The statement, cover

A TIPPING SYNDICATE.

What is the explanation of tipping?
Is it generosity or gratitude, vanity or
moral cowardice, that prompts men to
hand out these gratuities for the
slightest personal service performed by
hose who are supposed to be already

TWO qualities figure more largely than
The first two. But at least the man
who tips expects something in ex-
shange. And that is just what he is
likely not to get If the system planned
BY a Chicago syndicate ever comes into
general practise. This syndicate has
been formed to furnish walters to
hotels and restaurants. The walters
ire to be paid stated salaries, and all
Lips received are to be deposited in
boxes, the keys of which are to be
held by the company.

OUR ARMY OFFICERS.

1t is surprising to learn from the re-
port of the United States army that so
large a proportion of the officers as $50
out of a total of S,72S rose from the
ranks. At the same time, 1t should
furnish encouragement to enlisted men
who have been generally considered to
have very little chance of commissions.
But more surprising still is it that 1885
officers were appointed from the volun-
teers or civil life, while only 1,742, or
less than half, were especially educated
for their duties at West Point.
AS there are 216 vacancies on the act
i've list, 1t is obvious that the facilities
of our training school for army officers
are totally inadequate to supply the
demand and should be increased. The
logic of the situation also points to the
need of improving the conditions for the
enlisted men and attracting those CT

a larger choice may be had for pro-
motions.
