It's Immense Economy

You would think that such milk would cost
more than the common. But the cost, on the
basis of raw milk, is about six cents per
quart.
A full pint of Van Camps costs 10 cents
by the cen, and less if you buy by the case.
That is enough to make three pints of rich
milk, if you wish to put back all the water.
Van Camps is cheaper than raw milk

Whole, Rich Milk

Van Camps gives to milk dishes a rich
ness and favor which you never can get
from raw milk
The reason is that milknsn's milk sep
arates-before and after you get it. The
butter fat rises and the solids fall. The raw
milk used for cooking, usually, is hardly
more than a half-milk
Van Camps has all the solids, all the fats
that belong to the richest milk. When you
once compare it with raw milk in cooking,

Not Like Others

a great deal of milk sold in cans is con-

Sugar was formerly used to preserve milk

needed now, so you waste what you pay
for it.
Condensed milk, because of the sugar is

Every can of Van Camps is sterilized after

So much Of raw milk contains disease
germs that every authority warns people
against it. In Van Camps, there are no

The slight almond favor, apparent when

WARREN AND LOWELL NEWS
WAGON BURNS AND
 ATTRACTS B|G CROWD

Lowell had a real live fire Monday night that proceeded to blaze up brightly and illuminate the sky for blocks around while it lasted. The illumination caused Lowell residents to believe there was a much larger blaze and big crowd watched the burning stand in consequence.
 A canvas-covered wagon, used by an Italian vendor as as peanut and pop corn dispensary, caught fire. It is thought that someone set it on fire after the vendor closed the stand for the night, as the first thing everybody about knew the whole canvas was afre. The wagon and contents were totally destroyed.
 A few pails of water put the blaze out, but everything was destroyed be- fore this was done. The owner of the stand has not been seen since.
