Healthy HoIsteia Cows

Our COWS are Holsteins-the worlds best
breed. Robust eontented, famous for their
splendid vitality.
Holstein milk is immeasurably better than
the milk from mongrel cows.
These cows are all inspected. Millions of
tubereular cows are milked every day, but
nos one can be found in our herds.
This milk, fresh from the COW. is placed in
a vacuum. And a moderate heat because OF
the vacuum, throws off the water in steam.
Thus we throw of two-thirds of the water,
and the milk that results is as thick as thick
cream. When you replace this water you
hsve a multiplied bulk, as rich as the richest
milk.

Then it separates farther after you get it.

Perfectly Sterile

Van Camps Milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed. There is not germ of any
kind in it.
The slight almond favor is due to this
sterilization. II is the favor of heated milk.
The result is milk that is safe. Children
can drink it without thought of infection.
In the use of raw milk, infection at some
time is almost inevitable. The infection may
come from tubereular cows, from diseased
