A Germless Milk.
Van Camps is a germless milk.

Van Camps is germless milk.
Every COW is inspected-so are the
men who milk them. No tubercular
COWS, no diseased milkmen, convey their
infections to Van Camps Milk.
Our dairies are sanitary. Our fac
tories, where the milk is evaporated, are
built without wood. We make bust
ness of cleanliness.
Then the milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed. Not a germ of any
kind can remain in it..
Compare that with milkman's milk.
A single germ, left in milk few
hours, breeds millions of others like it.
So there are myriads of germs in every
drop of raw milk.
If the cow is tubercular, there are
germs of consumption. If the milk cans
are washed in impure water, there are
germs of typhoid.
If the milkman is diseased, or the
dairy uncleanly, the infections are bound
to be conveyed in the milk
A very large share of the illness in
the world is known to be due to milk.
All of these dangers are wiped out
completely when home adopts Van
Camps Milk. -

PRINCETON, N. j.. July 27.-John Lo-

in Carnegie lake yesterday. Owing to the
fact that bruises and scratches were
found on his face it was thought by some
that he might have met with foul play.

cidentally. 1t is thought that he met his
fate In the same way as Miss Bertha Van

months ago.
Logan left here Saturday night to walk
along the lake to his home some distance
back. heavy storm arose. and 1t is be-
lieved that he got lost in the woods, and
fell and was bruised and scratched. He
probably got into the water at the point
where Miss Vanderbilt did and was car
ried out as she was by the swift current

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 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 alone is enor-
nous. So the home that uses Van
Camps Milk spends less than the home
that doesn't.

For Milk Dishes.

Once use Van Camps in making
milk dish and you will never again be
content with raw milk.
The deliciousness will be surprise
to you, for raw milk was never so rich.
The sole reason is this: In Van
Camps you are getting the whole, rich
milk-all of the butter fat, all of the
solids. You get nothing else, for Van
Camps is nothing but milk.
Please write to us for our Cook
Book, telling how to make all sorts of
milk dishes and giving the cost of each.

Safe for Children:

But the delicious cooking-the con-
venience, the economy-are facts OF the
least Importance. The greatest fact is
that children can safely drink Van
Camps.
Raw milk, like raw meat, is an unfit
food, because of the danger of germ in
lection. You will not give such milk
to your children after you know Van
Camps.
Van Camps, when drunk cold, has
a slight almond flavor, due to steriliza-
ton This flavor itself is delicious. But
it means more than goodness. 1t means
that the milk is pure-that it is germ
less. It means that child can drink
all it wants without thought of infec-
ton. A child cannot do that with raw
milk.

Van Camps Milk comes in 5 and
