ROOSEVELT DOUBLE
1T" AT BIG EXHIBIT
Holds Forth Last Night at
Flower Show and Has
Good Time.

There are scores of people who feel
today that they have been handed a
lemon. They were fooled so complete
ly by a gentleman who was the coun-
terpart OF President Roosevelt that they
were induced 20 pay their respects to
him. as he sauntered about the flower
show last night.
And. incidentally. he graciOusly ac-
cepted their protestatious Of loyalty,
beamed on the women, told the men he
was mighty glad 70 meet them, and
had a generally good time, until later
in the evening he chose TO disillusion
his admirers, and inform them that
President Roosevelt. TO the best OF his
knowledge. was still at the White
House. Then he was greeted with
scOWls. and jibes, but ne had had his
fun. and he sat down near the stage
and listened to the music for the re-
mainder OF the evening.
This same man is said to have created
considerable amusement at the James
town Fair, because Of his resemblance
10 the President, and to have posed for
photographers and made speeches so
readily that the deception was finally
discovered.
The last night OF the show was al i'm
mense success. and the exhibitors were
highly gratided.
1t is the first time iu twenty-five
years" said President +. II. Kramer,
that flower show I'm Washington has
been a financial success. There was un-
usual harmony and cooperation, and "a
gratifying interest was shown by the
people OF Washington"
It IS estimated that the total at
tendance will reach 5000. over 5000
people visited the show yesterday.

DRUNK MANS SNAKES
REAL, SAYS ROGERS
Theosophist Says Visions Are
AcCual When Seen Upon the
Astral Plane.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16-Are the snakes
real thar a drunken man sees?
/. W. Rogers, national lecturer for
the Theosophic Society. says they are.
In a lecture in Handel Hall. Mr.. Rogers
said;
The drunken man who sees snakes,
actually sees them on the astral plane.
The intoxicated state serves to develop
the psychic eye, and thus objects are
seen on the astral plane instead OF the
physical.
The horrors that the intoxicated man
sees are perfectly real on the plane this
vision is focused. 1t is karma on the
astral plane that is furnishing the man
for his violation of the law of Aobriety.
The penalties meted out on the astral
plane are as painful as the penalties
which men suffer IN the material
world"

A Warning About
Evaporated Milk
can't Van Camps Milk your store your grocer get
Don't take brand think it like Van Camps

All Evaporated Milk looks alike and tastes
much alike. But there is difference. And the
difference in quality makes vast difference in
the manufacturers cost and his profits This is
important to you
The difference is in the richness, for after
purity, richness controls the value of milk.
The manufacturer of some other brand may
have told your grocer his brand is as rich as
Van Camps. But is it so?

To Quit Prince de Sagan
Only Alternative, Declares
Gould Lawyer.
CHARGES ASSAIL
LIFE OF HELIE
Says Alleged EsCapades of Prince
GrieVe Kinsfolk Because of
Fathers Illness.

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-"Princess de
Sagan must either give up her children
or her title. She IS woman enough TO
know there is only one alternative She
must quit the prince"
With these words q lawyer of inter
national repute who has had the conf
dence OF the Gould family for many
years, disposed OF the question whether
the bride Of Prince Helie would soon
seek a divorce.
Evidence had been placed before the
civil tribunal Of Paris. the attorney said,
which could not help but persuade the
court to take the children Of the
princess away from her and place them
in the charge Of their grandmother, the
Aiarchtoness de Castellane.
CasteIIane Procures Testimony.
This testimony had been procured BY
Count Boni de CasteIlane against his
cousin and sworn enemy, Prince Heiie
Il have not seen the charges against
the prince" said the informant. but
know that they hercely assail his char
acter. He is charged with being man
whose influence as a stepfather could
only tend to demOraliZe the Castellane
children.
And not only DO these charges in
volve the past life Of the prince. They
also concern his present mode Of life,
alleging that despite his recent dramatic
courtship his impassiOned VOWS Of
eternal devotion. Prince HeHe Is stln
Prince Helie. AS IN the old days he
seeks the Companionship Of men and
women outside the pale. And never be-
fore, IL is said, were his entertainments
OF these fellow-lOvers g pleasure as
extravagant or fantastic.
Trial for Princess.
'It must be a bitter draught for this
newly made bride to learn that one or
the chief uses OF her money at the
present time. according to the charges
OF her former husband, is to provide
suppers and other luxuries for the
'OtheT women OF the prince.
But it is not this alone which I
understand is about to force her again
10 seek liberty from matrimony. Though
the suit Of her former husband TO re-
gain his children is still before the
civil tribunal, yet she has been in
formed that unless she abaudons the
prince the court viii decide that she
must be bereft Of her children, who
will be placed in the keeping OF their
grandmother
''At present the CasteIIane children
are at school at TOuraine, where
their mother frequently visits them"
The attorney said Prince de Sagan's
alleged escapades at the present time
had also gTieved his own kinsfOlk be
cause Of the critical illness of his ven
cradle father, the Due de TaIleyrand.
For some years the due has been in a
state of decline, for the most OF the
time confined TO the bed Of the sani-

Is it not perfectly plain why some brands of
milk are urged on you by manufacturers as
Just good Van Camp's''2 Don't take
some other brand and think it is like Van
Camps Evaporated Milk
The Washington times., 1908-11-16
Why Quality is Reduced

Just now the United States laws don't protect
you and your grocer against weak Evaporated
Milk, because the standard has been relaxed.
The law is not enforced There is much COM
petition and great temptation to reduce the quail
ity so the wholesale price can be reduced.
Van Camps Milk has not been reduced in
price (your grocer will tell you that and we
positively guarantee you the quality has not
and will not be reduced.
Quality is what you must have and we know
it is wise to give it to you. So quality is what
you can depend upon in Van Camps Milk

Not ''Condensed Milk

Oneshould not confuse Van Camp with "con-
densed milk" Condensed Milk" by weight,
is about half ilk and half sugar-the sugar
being used to I reserve it. One can't use econ
densed milk f T cooking
Van Camps is nothing but nilk-no sugar,
no starch, no preservative. The preserving is
done by sterilization.
Therefore, Van Camps serves every purpose
Of raw milk and cream. It is the ideal milk for
cooking. It gives to milk dishes a richness and
flavor which you never get from raw milk
Another fact is that Van Camps Milk is
sanitary. Our COWS are inspected; so are the
men who milk them. There is no chance of
infection. Our dairies are sanitary. The
buildings where our milk is evaporated are
The Washington times., 1908-11-16
How Quality is Reduced

1t is just question of evaporation One
third of the water of raw milk can be taken out
by evaporation, or twice as much water can be
taken out. The resulting product of both proc
esses will look and taste much alike.
But stop and think of the difference in cost.
Realize how it will be when you come to dilute
the milk for use.

BUSINESS WAS SMALL
COMPARED WITH 1906

Although the report Of Secretary
George H. Sale of the Fremont Coun-
ty Fruit Growers association for the
calendar year just closed shows its
business to have been small when
compared with the previous twelve
months, there is in 1t much for en-
couragement
In view of the failure of the apple
crop in the Canon City district in
1907. the report is an excellent one
and shows that the association WAS an
active agency in the marketing Of
such fruits. vegetables and berries as
the orchardist and gardener had to
sell
Mr.. Salie's report shows that the
association handled during the season
5,2S2 crates Of tomatoes, 1859 crates
to apples, chiefly Of Summer varieties.
1908 crates Of Strawberries, l46 crates
Of currants and 1875 crates Of raspber-
ries. OF pie plant. 1906 pounds were
