How Quality is Reduced

1t is just a 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

But stop and think of the difference in cost

KEY IS INDICATED
IN HIS CRITICISMS
Conference Report Bears
Out His Faultfnding With
New BattleshipS.

Commander Albert L Key, former ma
val aide to the President, has been
indicated in his criticism of the design
Of the battleships North Dakota and
Delaware, the first American Dread
noughts. IN an official summary of the
report Of the Newport conference, when
has just been printed and made public
the beard agrees almost without excep-
ton with the criticisms, except that in
two instances 1t remains silent. IN
some Instances the board does not re-
commend changes Ia design because
changes would delay the completion OF
these Two vessels.
Armor Inadequste.
With reference to Comm -uder Keys
statement that the 5-inch casemate ar
NOR was inefficient for the protection Of
the 5-inch battery and uptakes, the con-
ference admitted that the thickness was
inadequate, and recommended S-inch
casemEte arnor on future vessels. The
conference admitted that the 5-inch tor
pedo defense guns were TOO low TO be
used in ordinary trade wind weather"
and recommended that they be placed IN
a more elevated position. and afforded
better protection.
The conference rejected, however.
Commander Keys suggestion that these
guns be placed in S-inch turrets Of
their own on the main deck.
No opinion was expressed by the
board relative TO the unarmed ends OF
the North Dakota which Commander
Key characterized as dangerous.
Another Defect.
The placing OF one Of the lz-inch
magazines between the engine and boil
CT room, where it is surrounded by
heated steampipes. was acknowledged
to be a serious defect. and the confer
enCe recommended that IN future ships.
this arrangement be avoided.
The North Dakota and Delaware. the
conference said, are too far convicted
to make a change in this respect ana
the plans OF the Utah and Florida
would be delayed in approval were the
changes made. Therefore in these four
vessels. the defect viii be overcome by
refrigeration.

The Difference

The difference is IN the richness, for after
purity, richness controls the value of milk.
The manufacturer of tome other brand may
have told your grocer his brand is as rich as
Van Camps. But is it SOP
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
quality SO Al wholesale prices 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

Not CONDENSED Milk

Also remember that Van Camps is not like
" condensed milk" All so-caIled condensed
milks" are half sugar. The sugar Is used to
preserve them.
Therefore, condensed milk" is bat little
more than half milk. and, because of the sugar,
you can't use it for cooking.
Van Camps is nothing but milk. We add
no sugar, no starch, no preservative The pre-
serving is done solely by sterilization.
Van Camps serves for cooking just as we'll
as for coffee. It serves every purpose of raw
milk and cream. And it gives to milk dishes a
flavor which Won ueuar

Detroiter Establishes
Ferret Livery for
- Rabbit Hunters

With the restriction on hunting rab-
hits with ferrets removed In some
counties. the industry of breeding fer
rets has started up In Michigan. AS
the rabbits have become a pest IN
some other counties. the animal deal
ers expect a steady demand for the lit
tie hunters.
Beside the rabbit-hunters, there Is
a demand for ferrets now from own
ers OF hotels and warehouses, who
wish to drive out rats. Although a
ferret Is only about half the size OF a
rat and the cutest. downiest little
beast imaginable, he ia nevertheless 50
formidable as a fighter that the ro-
dents will ny even from the sound OF
his squeaks and remain away for
months.
Herbert Dix, No. 1853 Prentis-st.. has
gone into ferret breeding more large
ly than any one else In Detroit, and
this season sold about 400 animals. He
has also invented the ferry livery,
renting the little hunters To sports
men going out rabbit-hunting for a
day or so only.
II wonder that ferrets are not rails
ed more az pets" says Dix. They are
tame when handled properly and will
certainly keep the rats away better
than any number OF cats. There are
about eight different breeds OF them.
