Sham No. l
Condensed Milk

Sweetened condensed milk contains about
- per cent Of sugar. As result the milk is
thin and watery.
The sugar was originally used to preserve
it. But the discovery of sterilization made
sugar unnecessary.
To buy condensed milk means to waste
half of your money. First, because it is
nearly half sugar. Second, because of the
seanty cans.-only IL ounces for 10 cents.
If you want sweetened milk, the cheapest
way is to add the sugar yourself.
In Van Camps you get Is ounces for 10
cents-exactly one-third more. And Van
Camps is all milk
Condensed milk, because of the sugar, is
unfit for cooking. Van Camps serves every
purpose.
It gives you for cooking whole rich milk

All evaporated milk is sterilized, and all
brands are free from germs.
The poorest grades sold are better than
raw milk, and UNNECESSARILY more safe.
But, now that evaporated milk is SO COM
mon, it is web to know how to get the most
for your money.
So, in our mutual interest, We tell of these
shams.

London, Dec. 6.-The whole of Great

refusal Of the House Of Lords to consent
to the budget.
The country is divided into two great
camps, composed Of those who support
the Lords action and those who contend
that the House Of Commons must have
absolute control Of the finances Of the
nation. There are. 81 course, many ether
issues, such az tariff reform versus free
trade, but these are being pushed into
the background by the conflict between
the two houses.
While the various local organizations
are busy selecting candidates and pre-
pairing for the contests in their respect

parties are carrying on a general cam

The Radicals, who had long foreseen
the fate Of their finance bill. are not al

one Of their organizations, che National
Democratic league, held demonstration
as a protest against the action Of the
Lords, which was one Of the most notable
that has ever been held in the metrop-

Fully 10000 persons, mostly Of the

PAINT FAULTS.

1t Is a common occurrence nova
days to hear man remark with dis
gust ut is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the key bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead. National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, will send you lead
tester and painters outfit, consisting
of book of color schemes, specifica-
lions, etc., upon request.

Mayor of Philadelphia Resents Inter

Mayor Reyburn, who considers the

would rid the building of them If he
could, considers the efforts of the anti

the piget MS being driven out as med

Recently, while the mayor was hold

men, several fire engines with clang-
ing gongs, came laundering down
Broad street and around the city hall
The pigeons, evidently frightened by
the gongs, flew excitedly around and
around outside of the mayors office
on the north side of the building.
