FOR THE UNEMPLOYED
BLISS. LABOR BUREAU OFFICIAL,
REPORTS ON EUROPE.
He Says Much More Has Been
Done There Than in This
Country.

Sveepins results Of an investigation OF
every phase Of the problem OF the unem'
pioyed in European countries have been
made public by the bureau Of labor. The
Investigation was made by w. D. P. Bliss
and the report shows what European gov
ernments have accomplished in this direc-
ton.
It contends that generally in the United
States there has been no adequate effort
to provide for the unemployed at all ex,
cept in periods of unusual distress. and
that this is true to less extent In Grea'
Britain. In neither country, according to
the report, has there been any real sue.
cess In working out the problem Most OF
the European countries have developed
special lines Of work to the exclusion OF
other phases Of the problem.
Germany has been especially successful
in the matter Of public employment bu1
reaus and the care OF the wandering Ia
borer and the tramp, but has not at
tempted any state insurance against I'M

aided insurance has almost failed among
the non unionists.
Belgium, Switzerland and Holland have
succeeded with the hardened and incor-
rightly idle. Denmark has developed an
admirable system for the aged. Great
Britain has developed the "out-of-work'
benefit among trade unionists beyond
any other country. The United States has

unemployment are impossible, even APP

Public and private employment bureaus
have been largely developed in Europe.
European governments also attempt to
colonize the unemployed. Trade union

much good, and attempts have been made.

Every day we milk 10000 cows to
supply the demand for Van Camps Milk
Yet we advertise in but few cities.
If every one had the chance that you
have to get it, we could scarcely begin
to supply the demand for it, -.
Think what a percentage of homes
must be using it in the towns that we do
supply.
You will use it. too. when you know
it. You will use it exclusively-for cook
ing, for drinking, for coffee. When you
know these facts, and prove them, no.
body could get you to go back to raw

Do You Know a Reason
for Using Raw Milk?
for using Van Camps Please read them ALL for
deal Can tell for using
germ-laden milk, when you get Van Camps?

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.

OF congratulatioE 20 Zebulan
Vance Young, a stanch east
Tennessee farmer, on his remarkable
family of seventeen, a picture OF
which is shown herewith.
Mr. Young and his wife are less than
ffty-fve years old and little past the
prime of life. They were married in
1881 and the first child was born In
1888. During the succeeding twenty
years, fourteen children were born, the
youngest of which IS now Ave years,
while the Oldest of the family OF seven
teen is twenty-five years Of age.
MI Young, a relative Of the distin-
guished North Carolina statesman,
Zebulan Vance, moved into Tennes-
see with his wife in 1881, and settled in
the mica country. He erected a very
small house and as his family grew
he added to the structure. until It
IS now large enough TO comfortably
accommodate them all.
None Of the children is married.
