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
Is it not perfectly plain why some brands of
milk are urged on you by manufacturers as
Gust as good Van Camps? Don't take
some other brand and think it is like Van
Camps Evaporated Milk.

Sanitary Milk

But Van Camps means more than richness,
more than economy to you. Our cows are
inspected. So are the men who milk them
Our dairies are sanitary. Cleanliness is
carried to extremes. The buildings where our
milk is evaporated are built without wood.
When you get Van Camps, you know that
every precaution has been taken against infec-
ton. You know nothing of other milks

From the appearance of the skele-

IL is judged that he has been lying

Not condensed Milk

Also remember that Van Camps is not like
condensed milk" All so-caIIed condensed
milks" are half sugar. The sugar is used to
preserve them.
Therefore, condensed milk" is but 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 well
as for coffee. 1t serves every purpose of raw
milk and cream. And it gives to milk dishes

The Difference

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 so2
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 metation to reduce the
quality so the wholesale prices can be reduced
Van Camps Milk has not been reduced in
price (your grocer will tel you that and we
positively guarantee you the quality has not

KID MCCOY APPEARS

New York. Oct. 16.-The National Athletic club will be crowded with fight fans tonight, the occasion be- ing six-round contest between Kid Mccoy and Jim Stewart. The battle will mark McCoy's re-entrance into the prize ring, and all his old friends who rallied round him in his cham pionship days, will be on hand to cheer him on in his effort to win back his laurels.
 Mccoy will enter the ring at ITO pounds, in prime condition after a long period of strenuous training. In the last feew weeks he has work ed under the direction of Jack O'Brien. who will be in his corner. Mccoy says he is fit to go six rounds as fast as any man-can set the pace. and he is confident that he will dis pose of Stewart in easy, fashion.
 Jim Stewart, however, is a strong and vigorous youth, well qualified to give any man in the game hard ar gument, and he will enter the ring even more confident than Mccoy. He will have thirty or forty pounds weight on his opponent and the strength of youth to aid him in weathering rough going.

WOULD WEAR WHISPERS.

Pittsburg, Pa. Oct 16.-Another monumental blunder has been added to Rube Waddell's long list of mis- deeds in western Pennsylvania. Mill vale has lost the four borough pen nant and Rube is blamed for it. He promised to pitch for $100. When the Etna team learned that Millville was to spring some ringers list of play CTS was demanded This bad bit of news was transmitted to Rube, who said it didn't matter, that he could disguise himself so that none in the valley would know him.
 So under an innocent looking name the great pitcher was entered for the finals in the valley championship. He reached this neck of woods Wednes- day but could not agree with the Millville management as to the sort of disguise he should don. He want ed to drive into the field on a hay wagon and go in with chin whiskers and overalls but Millville wouldn't stand for this Rube refused to don tights and short skirts and go in as a ballet dancer, and the whole pow wow ended in a fuss, and Lefty" George went into the game instead of the mighty Rube and lost.

Hot Springs, Ark. Oct. .16.-John L. Sullivan, former heavyweight champion, celebrated the fiftieth an- niversary, of his birth here yester- day. Sullivan appears to be in splendid physical condition and de- clares he expects to live another half century. The former champion was entertained last night at ban quet by Jack Frisby, manager of. a prominent cafe here. Sullivan side stepped liquor of every kind.
 The greatest crowd that ever as- sembled at Oaklawn track for a nights entertainment packed the grandstand, covered the steps and overflowed onto the pavement when Sullivan and Jake Kilrain entered the ring for their exhibition bout last evening at the Arkansas State Fair, which is being held on the grounds of Oaklawn racetrack, through the courtesy of Dan Stuart, without any expense. to the citizens of. Arkansas. ! John l.. slowly climb ed the. steps leading to the ring and crawled through the ropes. Two hundred and eighty five pounds is said to be his weight. The applause he received was marvellous and he was compelled to make a speech.

THE VERY BUSY BATTLER.
Nelson Has Been in 6f Fights ana
 Has Won 40 Victories.

Advanced proofs on the Life of Battling Nelson," book which will chronicle the biography of the light weight champion. have been received by the "Battler," who is at Detroit with the fight pictures. In the stat istical end it shows that Nelson en- gagged in 81 fights, of N666 rounds. Forty-six of these battles were vic tories. 12 of them defeats and 23 of them draws. He knocked out op- ponents 28 times.
 ITO be truthful about this matter. said Nelson, these fights nave netted me over $100,000, and have taken down over third more in theatri- calls. All this is soundly invested, and when I retire. l will be indepen- dently rich. a5
 In Nelson's book the champion will tell of his first, fight in Hegewlsch, H., on September,3, 1896. For this he received $i.9 When he went to look for his coat he found that 1t was missing, and at the same time pay envelope containing a week s salary, $5.50, and Waterbury watch, were gone.

TEAM OF STARS
 FOR THE LOCALS
All Waterbury Will Have One of the Best For Sunday Other
 Games.

One of the greatest football teams that ever. represented this city will be in the lineup out at Rockville next Sunday when they face the strong Thomaston team. Manager Tommy Lawlor has been laying awake nights since that game of last Sunday solv- ing the problem of how he can i'm prove his team. He has succeeded in doing so as will be seen from the lineup given below. New material has been added which will greatly strengthen the team. In the first place Nolan, the big fullback, who played such star game for the Win d-Torrington combination last Sunday, has joined the All Water- burys. Pete Thompson, who played quarterback for the same combina- tion, will also be member of the local team. Dalton, the great tackle of the Torrington team, the man that big Jim Hogan says is the best tackle in the state, will also be in a Waterbury uniform. Then there will be Schildgen and Dick Neary from Naugatuck, two corking good men in their positions. The lineup of both teams will be- as follows:
 All Waterbury-Lyons and Thomp- son, le; Gooding and Bauby, It.; Schildgen and Tierney, lg; Solberg and Porter. c; Konley, Baribea and Wentworth, rg; Dalton and Jack Bagley, Tt; L. Cronan, re; Joe Bag ley and Spain, lhb; Nolan and Grif- fin; fb; Tanner, rhb; w. Cronan and Lawlor, qb.
