 Friends of Miss Stipek want it an- nounced that she is not aiding or help- ing either of the other contestants. Both she and her friends are interested solely in her own campaign, without favoritism or enmity towards the others.
 The race between Earl Modini and Edward Gibson is very close. The tide of battle ebbs and flows between them. Sometimes one is ahead, and some times the other.
 Both are popular lads. with many friends, and 1t is hard to predict who win be ahead at the close of the con-

USED WIFE AS TARGET
 FOR PISTOL PRACTICE

DAWSON, April IA man named Howard Henry Boardman, who with his wife has been conducting a laundry at No. 22 below, Bonanza, for some time, was before Justice Macaulay yes- terday upon the charge of wife-beat- ing and general cussedness. Upon con- viction the accused was given two months at hard labor, and the wife will have a respite for at least sixty days.
 From the evidence brought out at the hearing. mainly given as sort of confession by Boardman himself, it appears he has been engaged in the playful habit of beating his wife every now and then for a considerable period. . varying the nature of his efforts in that direction occasionally by stand ing her up against the wall and using her as target for pistol practice.
 It was due to one of the latter exhi-

bitions of affection that resulted in his downfall. the wife coming to the con- clusion that while she might stand for a drubbing at more or less short inter vals, it was too much to expect her to assist in the target practice. Conse- quently. she swore out the warrant that landed her liege lord in the bas- tile.
 On the stand Boardman admitted he had been drinking more than he should have during the past few weeks: also that at times he was victim of jeal ousy that caused him to handle his better half in the way in which he had been accustomed. He had not intend- ed to shoot her. but had merely fired the gun several times in order to have her more completely "buffaloed." The wife will manage the laundry during the husbands temporary retreat from the madding throng.

BULL HIPPOPOTAMUS
KILLED BY ROOSEVELT
Big Three Ton Animal Shot at Close Range and Ex-
perience Was Hazardous One for Former Pres-
dent--Three Shots Necessary.

NAIVASHA. British East Africa. July
16-At a most unexpected time. Colonel
Roosevelt last evening added to his
African game bag the bull hippopota-
mus which he has been anxious to find
since the beginning of the hunt. Colonel
Roosevelt was practically alone when
he encountered the hippo, one of the
largest shot IN Lake Naivasha territory
for many years. His meeting with the
animal was extremely hazardous.
Colonel Roosevelt had taken the
launch of Captain AttenborouEn and.
accompanied only by two natives. had
gone for a trip along the shores Of the
lake, after supper. The others, includ-
ing Kermit. were busy going over the
trophies OF last week.
The colonel had taken with him, in
the launch. his two heavy elephant
rifles, hoping, but not expecting to meet
with a hippo. He had cruised about
the lake for an hour, and was running

the launch at slow speed, close to the
shore, in a little cove
As he turned back toward the lake
from the cove, a crashing i'm among the
rank growth along the shore drew his
attention, and turning he saw the hippo
coming down to the lake.
Colonel Roosevelt gave the wheel of
the launch to one of the natives with
him and fired three shots at the animal
at short range. The hippo continued TO
advance after the first two shots. The
third shot was fatal
After examining his prize, Colonel
Roosevelt returned TO camp and excited
the whole party with his story Of the
killing.
Natives were Immediately dispatched
to the cove to secure the hippo, which,
late at night was brought TO camp. me
animal weighed about three tons.
THE killing of the bull hippo on We'd
nesday. leaves only a calf to be secured
to complete the bag for which the party
visited the Attenborough estate.

Commerce Commission Has
Big Plan for Read
JuStment.
MOVE A VICTORY
FOR THE SHIPPER
Case Grows Out of Case of Boise
Commercial Club VS.. United
States Company.

That the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is bent ON making the express
companies of the country look sharply
80 their rates and to overhaul them, is
the indication given In o decision just
handed down by the commission in the
case OF the Boise Commercial Club VS..
the Adams Express Company and sew
eral of the other large concerns.
Commissioner Lane has prepared the
opinion in the case, which is a victory
for the club. 1t goes into detail as TO
the situation regarding express rates,
which are declared to be in a chaotic
condition and in many instances un-
reasonable.
Notice is served on the corporations
that they must develop a system Of
rates that viii conform TO the stand
ards TO which the great railroads of the
country have IN a large measure con-
formed.
Attacked the Tariff.
In the case in question, the Roise
Commercial Club attacked the rates
from New York city 10 Boise and other
points in south Idaho. 1t was held
that the carriers could not lawfully
make a difference in rates which are
prepaid and those which are not pre-
paid. The commission also found that
the through rates a present in effect, in
almost every instance, violate the gems
eral principle that a through rate snail
not exceed the lowest combination of
locals between the same points.
The defendants are required to pre-
sent 10 the commission on or before Oc-
t0ber ] a new basis of rates tor the car
Tiage of small packages from New YORK
10 Boise and points similarly situated.
Mr. Lane, after illustrating the nature
Of. the prevailing rates, makes ms OBJ
servation.
ut is apparent from what mas been
said and Illustrations OF d similar char
acter might be given as TO al exclusive
express stations, certainly in the Tar
West IL not throughout the whole coun-
Try, that these tariffs violate the com
n.Onest rules Dy which the reasonable
ness of rates may be determined
Fixed By Agreement.
II is found that the rates are dxed by
agreement between the carriers, that
where two carriers have Offices certain
rates shah apply, and where but enc
carrier has an office, other rates shall
apply II is found there is a variation
in the through rate amounting 70 50
per cent or more, depending on the
junction point on which the rate Is
based and irrespective OF the num5 Der
OF combinations that may be made.
The commission SAYS the companies
themselves must recognize the chaotic
condition in which their rates are.
1T exists, NO doubt. because these
companies have but recently come with
in the purvieW II the act to regulate
commerce. A system must be developei
by which express Tates-rates applicable

additional terminal services shall con-
form 10 the standards 10 which the rail-
roads have in great measure coufOrme1
and which the law eniOins.'

No Other Such Milk

Don't think Of Van Camps as condensed
milk. Condensed milk is half sugar. You
can't use it in cooking
And don't think that other evaporated
milks are as good as Van Camps
Analysis OF Van Camps shows about 8 per
cent of butter fat. That's because we use
Holstein milk and take out two-thirds Of the
water.
a milk with half Of that water left in may
be called "evapcrated." But it won't be as
rich as Van Camps

The demand for Van Camps Milk now is
so great that we milk 10000 cows.
Yet we could not supply one hundredth
part the demand if all people knew about it.
Do you suppose that people will buy germ

IS pure?
Do you suppose they will ever again cook

Do you suppose they will buy milk from

A Cow in the Kitchen

Then think how convenient
Rich milk or cream whenever YOU want II.
No waiting for the miiI;man, no shortage,
no waste
Yet Van Camps is the cheaper.
Il is as thick as thick cream; so thick that
you add one part water Tor coffee Yet It
doesn't cost half your milkman's price for
cream.
Add two parts water and you have rich
milk The cost Of such milk, when you buy
Van Camps by The case, is about six cents
per quart.
Then you have no waste-no milk left over.
Sometimes Van Camps cuts off half on the
milk bills
Think Of paying the milkman twice what
you pay for such milk as this.

Safe for Children

When you serve Van Camps to your chill
dren you don't serve sickness with it. When
you serve raw milk, you don't know.
Van Camps has a slight almond favor,
due to sterilization. 1t doesn't taste just ike
raw milk
Explain to the child that this aavor-de-
hoious but different-means that the milk IS
pure.
Raw milk IS just as unEt as raw meat.
Pasteurized milk is the only safe milk. Be-
fore long, our laws viii require It.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-07-16
A Whole, Rich Milk

Van Camps Is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated. Moth
ing whatever IS added. Nothing is subtracted,
save water.
Here you get the whole rlIk.
Your milkman's milk separates. You
either get too little solids or too little butter
fat.
It separates again wher you get it. So
the milk used for cooking IS rarely more than
4 half milk
Compare one milk dish made with Van
Camps with one made with milkmans milk.
Note the difference in richness and favor.
That will be enough to forever convert
you to the use Of this whole, rich milk.
