FORCE WILL BE REDUCED.
Commandant Leutze Confirms Report
Of Coming Navy Yard Discharge.

Rear Admiral LeutZe. commandment of
the navy yard, today confirmed the re-
port that the force of mechanics now
working in the yard will be reduced
Although he declined absolutely to en-
ter into any discussion of the matter he
said: The force will have TO be reduced
some time this summer" He would make
no statement as to the number of men to
be laid off nor the time when it would
occur
Mechanics working in the yard have
been expecting this reduction When it
became known that the guns for only two
battleships would be made this summer
the men have been looking forward with
more or less trepidation to the time when
the cut would occur.
1t was said al Naval Lodge Hall this
morning that the men have been work.
ing in their own way for a long time
meaning there has not been enough work
to go around.
1t was also stated that the 375 men laid
off two months ago had expected TO re-
turn to the yard within ninety days from
the time they were laid off. The present
situation seems to preclude any such pos
sibility.
Only recently men who had leave due
were directed to take it as soon pos
Sible. This was looked upon as d sign
that reductions would follow quickly.

Thousands of women ask this !:
"Why does Van Camps, when
used in my cooking, seem SO much
richer than milk"
What has been added? Why
so delicious a favor"
We add nothing at all.
Van Camps is nothing but milk
rich Holstein milk-with two
thirds the water evaporated.
The results surprise you when
YOU first cook with it. You never
knew milk was so rich.
But the trouble has been that
you did not get the whole milk.
Milk that stands awhile sepa-
rates. Then from the top you get
one part, from the balance another.
Sometimes you get the top
milk, sometimes the middle, some
times the bottom.
And it's all different.
In Van Camps, for the first
time. you get the whole milk as it
comes from the COW.
You get all of the butter fat,
all of the solids.
When you learn what that
means, you will never again use
milkman's milk in your cooking.
And you even save money by
using Van Camps.
It's as thick as thick cream. So
thick that you add one part water
for coffee,

Nothing but Milk.
Madam, the flavor that Van Camps gives
to milk dishes comes solely from milk.

Yet it costs half what cream
costs.
Add two parts water and you
have rich milk, at about the price
which YOU pay to your milknan.
But YOU have no waste. You
open a can as you want it. The
saving i'll a year is enormous.
Van Camps means COW IN
your kitchen. Rich milk or cream
whenever you want it.
No shortage, no waste.
Such milk dishes as you never
can make from raw milk.
Cheaper than raw milk. Far
more convenient.
Do YOU wonder that, with TO-
900 COWS. we can scarcely supply
the demand for this milk?
Then add to all that the abso-
lutte purity.
Our diaries are sanitary. Our
COWS are inspected. We allow no
chance for infection.
Then the milk is sterilized.
There is not a germ in it.
Can YOU think of reason tor
using germ-laden milk, when you
can now get Van Camps:
We publish an excellent cook
book, showing the exact cost OF
all sorts of milk dishes. Please
write for tits free. Address

A HANDSOME BANNER.
Gift of Citizens to Augusta Fire De-
partment on Exhibition At Buckley's.

The handsome new banner which
was the gift of the citizens Of Angus
ia to the fire department arrived
Wednesday afternoon and was placed
on exhibition in one of the windows
of the r. c. Buckley store yesterday,
where it was admired by all who saw
it. 1t is beyond doubt the handsomest
firemen's banner that has ever been
seen in this section, and is the work
of the Cincinnati Regalla Co. of Gin
cinnati, Ohio.
The banner is of heavy silk with or
lamentations of bullion fringe, the
front being of the national colors, red,
white and blue, and the back of blue.
On the front center, on background
of white, is a fire scene showing
burning building with the fremen at
work, while above in letters of gold
on red are the words: Fire Depart
ment.' Below the scene are the words:
Augusta, Me-" At each side is panel
of blue fancifully ornamented, while
the decoration is completed by crossed
fire axes. The inscription on the back
of the banner is as follows: Present
ed by Citizens of Augusta to Fire De-
partment. May 3d. 1908"
The banner is mounted on hand
some staff surmounted by gilt eagle.
In short it is all that could be desir-
ed and that it will long be cherished
by the boys of the department need
hardly be said.

The general store at North Bradford

the late John ]. Coy was burned
Wednesday evening with all it's con-
tents. There was no insurance. 1t is
estimated that Mrs. Coy's loss is about
$4,000. The origin of the fire is mys-
terry and it is suspected that it is one
of an incendiary nature.
One of the largest liquor seizures in
Bangor for months was made by sew
