Best for Children.

Immigrant babies, when they
arrive in New York, are fed on
Van Camps Milk.
They are fed under the di-
rection of physicians who know
the Importance Of germless milk.
The milk that is best for those
children is certainly best for
yours. Raw milk, like raw meat,
is an unfit food, because of the
danger of germ infection. ~
Children will find, when they
drink Van Camps cold, that the
milk has ali allnoffi1d ffav6t." That
flavor is due to sterilization. 1t
signifies q germless milk. Chill
drcn can drink all they want of it,
without thought of infection.
They cannot do that with raw
milk.
Those are the reasons for using
Van Camps Milk. If you think
there exists single reason for
not using it, it is based on mis-
taken ideas.
Sold by all grocers in Sc and
10c cans. Buy it a case or two
at tinc-it's much cheaper and
more convenient. -.

A Cow in the Kitchen.

Van Camps means a COW in
your kitchen. Rich milk or cream
all you want, when you want it.
No waiting for the milkman,
no shortage, no waste.
Yet it's even cheaper than raw
milk.
Van Camps is 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 milk1nan for cream.
Add two parts water and you
have rich milk. And the cost of
such milk, when you buy Van
Camps by the case, runs about
three cents per pint.
Then you have no waste-no
milk left over. That saving alone
is enormous.

Within the last ten years there has

are being made by physicians and the
laity to stamp it out: but to cure the
disease of inebriety. probably the
greatest scourge. in the catalogue OF
diseases, to which human race is liable
through the unhappiness. poverty, ana

causes. little attention is paid.
Physicians in private practice al

cure of a person addicted to the use OF
liquor or drugs They have only to

Tor they early recognize the fact that
one of the first requisites for its cure
Is that the physician must have abso-

originator of the worlds most famous

The fact is this: ~
Not a housewife in this city
will use raw milk after she knows
Van Camps.
You will never cook with half
milk when you once know the
flavor that Van Camps gives to
milk dishes.
You will never drink germ
laden milk when you know that
Van Camps is pure.
Is it not worth ten minutes to
know the truth about something
as vital as milk?

Van Camps is Delicious
For Cooking.

Every woman knows this who
has used Van Camps. But she
may not know the reason, which
is this:
Milk that stands awhile scpa-
rates. The butter fat rises and
the solids fall. ......
Then you get one sort of milk
from the top Of the can, and
another sort farther down. You
never get the whole milk from
the milkman's can.
And, perhaps, you skim what
you do get before it goes into
cooking.
In Van Camps alone you get
the whole, rich milk. You get
800 of solids 81 butter fat.
That's WHY all milk dishes
made with Van Camps are SO
delicious. Tie richest Of raw
milk cannot compare with it.
Once cook wiz Van Camps and
you never will use any other.
We publish a book of recipes
prepared by an expert on milk
dishes. You can have it free if
you'll write uc. ......

said:

many unfair things have been said, but
nothing more unfair than that said by Mr..
Rosewater. To accuse me Of using die
language of the Republican platform /,
an outrage. He ought to apologize for
this injustice, and explain to his readers
that the language which he criticises was
taken from the Republican platform and
not from any speech of mine.
Mr.. Rosewater is right, however, In
making fun Of the language. He is right
in saying that nothing prettier In die
catch-all line has been offered in this cam
paign. He is also right in saying that
the. most Aide-bound 4standpatter In the
country can accept that as satisfactory
and the rankest free trader can find de-
light in it, He is right again in saying
that the declaration means simply moth
ing And again he is right in saying AN
attempt to legislate along that line would
simply open the way to interminable
wrangling as to what constitutes "a rea-
sonable profit, for hair-splitting on wages
on one industry, price of raw materials
in another, rebates and drawbacks in q

Caro- Delvaille, the famous French
painter, says Of American women:
II have never been in America, but
many times have had occasion to con
template American beauties, and they
have made a profound impression OH
me. Only the women, of Italy can be
compared with American women.
Americans are Amazons. The Itaiinn
beauty is more soft. They are human
beauties, while the Americans are only
beauties"
Wiiiette. whose sketches are the rage
in the French capital, is less compli.
mentary. He says:
americans are ridiculous and inslll
portable, with their independent airs
dominating even the male with theis
physical forces. Thus they lose charm.
One never sees a really beautiful wom-
an, or dreams OF her, MS one dreams OF
happiness. There is only one type Of
feminine beauty-th that created by Greek
artists. Women OF all countries should
seek to approach this ideal"
